Episode 22

Lucas's Point Of View,

"How could you even think that I will do something to hurt you? Do you really think that low of me", I asked her and she looked down? She was not even looking up. I could see how tired she was. I was feeling like she will fell anytime soon. I just did not say anything else to her. I made my way out from there and soon went to the room of the principal. I knocked at the door and walked in.

"Good morning Mr. Lucas, I was waiting for you. You called me and asked me to meet, so here I am. Tell me how can I help you", he asked me, and at the same time, the worker came with two cups of coffee.

"Please have some coffee sir, and tell me what I can do", he offered me coffee and I just took a cup and sipped it.

"Well, I want to increase the salary of Ava", I said and he looked at me with wide eyes.

"What, but why, I am paying enough to her according to her work", he said but when he noticed the anger on my face he just faked a smile.

"I will pay for that. You just have to tell her that you are increasing her salary because she is doing a great job and also I want you to give her leave too. She is so tired today and her condition is also not well. So just call her and tell her that she can go home, understand", I said to him and this time he was looking at me with wide eyes.

"But sir, I can not do that. We lack the staff and we need her here at the college", he said and now I was glaring at her like I am gonna eat him alive.

"Did not you hear what I said? I said she is not well today. Do you know what that means, if you lack the staff then tell students to have fun? Call her right now and tell her what I said. I already transferred money to your account. So hope you really understand what I said", I put the cup of coffee on the table and got up from the chair. He also got up to honor me.

"But sir, may I ask what kind of relationship do you have with miss Ava? She did not say that she knows you and you are in touch with her", he asked me and I just thought that I could tell the whole world that she belongs to me.

"You do not need to know that. Just keep one thing in your mind she belongs to me" I just left the room without waiting for his reply.

I made my way out from there and started searching for her. I know she did not have her car yet because I sent her car home just now. So that is obvious that she took a cab to the college, and she is still here, so I should help her.

I started searching for her but she was nowhere to see. I just asked a student if he saw her and he told me that she just walked out from the main door. How could she go that fast? I mean he could have called just now and she already walked out, that was pretty fast,

"Please can you bring my car out? I am in some kind of emergency", I gave him the keys to my car as he nodded his head and I also made my way out and soon I just walked out.

I saw her walking, but she was looking so lost. She was walking like a dead. I called her name but she did not even look at me. She did not turn her head. She was walking without even seeing the road, cars were running fast and she was not even looking at them and that was not normal.

She does not do this. She is really careful with all this, but today she is behaving totally lost. I just started running because I saw a car coming to her way and she is not looking up. I quickly ran to her and pulled her away from there.
