My One And Only

Kian did not know when he fell asleep on the chair, leaning on the hard surface.

When he finally fluttered opened his eyes, he was greeted by the warm ray of sunlight and then the events of the night came flashing back to his mind.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He saw that Tinsley was still in her deep sleep and her vitals were alright even though she had not gained consciousness yet.

He checked the time before getting up and letting the nurse take her rightful position, catering to the needs of the sleeping beauty.

He wished he had the time to stay more by her side and make sure everything was alright by himself but he could not neglect his work, more so he could not possibly let his aunt get suspicious in any kind.

So after ordering the nurse and the other workers to look after her and not to take their eyes off of her even for a second and inform him about anything right away without wasting any time.

He headed out, not before placing a feathery light kiss on her forehead. He had no idea why he even did that but rushed outside before his mind would go crazy wondering whatnot.

As soon as Kian reached his office, the guards bowed their heads down and so did all the other employees outside, waiting for the lift.

He stormed into his private one and found his secretary, Madison waiting inside his office, placing his coffee mug.

“Good morning, Mr Wilson.”

“I need to freshen up.”

That was all he said and Madison walked away, closing the glass door behind her.

She was expecting to hear about how Tinsley was doing but looking at the boss, she could tell that something was not right.

So she moved towards her cabin and waited patiently for Kian to come out and press some words from him.

Kian pressed a button underneath his rectangular wooden table and the glass door opened revealing a huge ass bedroom.

He walked inside and the glass wall closed behind him. He removed his shirt, slipped his pants off and strode towards the bathroom.

He had not gotten any time to shower and freshen up since the time he rescued her from that dirty lake.

As he stood under the shower and the warm water cascaded down, he felt his tensed muscles relaxing and closed his eyes to think of anything else other than her but it was only her face that would keep reflecting in his restless mind.

And then it would drive back to the point of time where he could tell that he was a boy and that unknown girl, laughing and giggling, running away from him.

He fisted his palms on both sides as those hazy dreams took over his brain once again even in the daylight and it annoyed him to no extent.

He tried very hard to gain those memories back and did everything to decode the reason behind those visions but all his attempts were deemed futile and a wastage of his efforts.

So with time, he had learnt to give up and live his life trying not to discover a part of his life which he had no idea of what it was like.

It was crucial for him to at least remember some of it because it held the days he spent with his dead mother but now that he had no memories of it, he could not even recollect of how his mother was like.

He got out of the shower and dressed in a new set of shirt and pants, heading out of the room to start doing his regular day to day work.

Madison walked towards his cabin, the moment she saw him coming in. She did not have to knock on his glass door and was allowed right in.

She got behind him and made him wear his black coat before bringing him his heated coffee once again.

“Narrate out my schedule.”

He ordered, sipping on his coffee, eyes trained on his laptop screen, checking out the important mails.

“You have a meeting, fifteen minutes from now with the Oil Dealers of UAE.

Lunch with Sharon Maetka for oil foundation right after in Mirrors.

A board meeting with the Moral Corp after midday.

Lunch date with Thea Stilton…”

“Cancel it.”

He spoke right away, stopping Madison in the middle even before she could complete.

“Pardon?”

“Cancel the lunch date with whoever that Valeria set me up with.”

Kian said, finishing his coffee.

Madison did not know whether to go with her boss’s command or Mrs Valeria Wilson for the woman had called her to slip that date appointment she made in his busy schedule herself.

“But Mrs Wilson said that.. ”

“Who do you work for, Ms Gomez?”

Kian raised his eyebrows, finally looking at her. He knew how pressing his aunt could be.

“You, Sir. Mr Wilson. ”

Madison hesitated to answer first but went on with it as she was quite aware of what might happen next if she denied cancelling that appointment.

“Good. I will be out in ten minutes. Ready my car.”

Kian muttered, resuming his work back, answering the mails away on his MacBook.

“Right away, Mr Wilson. ”

Madison nodded, folding her iPad back on the purse. She was not sure if she should go ahead and ask him about how Tinsley was.

She knew that inquiring about such topics that happened in the boss’s condo or household was a strict no and unprofessional but she just could not help and let it slip.

After all, she had an old woman in her house waiting to hear about any kind of news of that woman, who her boss had kept in his home.

Would it sound like intruding on his personal space??

Madison thought as she silently stood there, not knowing what to do and what not to do. Whether she should ask or not?

“Is there any problem?”

Kian asked when he found the presence of his secretary still inside his office when he just had dismissed her.

“Well… how.. ugh… how is Mrs Rutherford?”
