CHAPTER 12

Matthew carried Aria on his arms and ran to the parking lot.

"Who are you? Let go of me" Aria struggled to get free but Matt's grip on her was quite challenging.

And she ended up dozing off.

"Hey! Where are you taking her? What do you think you're doing?" Jimmy yelled as he ran after him and Matt took off his nose mask.

"Oh it's you Matt but what are you doing here?" Jimmy added and Matt opened the back door of his car.

He gently placed Aria inside the car.

"What the hell have you been doing? How could you allow her leave her apartment in a state like this? Will you hold responsibilities of what would happen if the media or anyone finds out about this? You're her manager so you should always look out for your artist but you're doing the opposite of that" Matt fired and Jimmy swallowed.

"It's not like I could stop her if she really wanted to be here and it's nothing for you to worry about. Allow me worry about that and I had everything under control. Can I take her with me now?" Jimmy asked and Matthew scoffed.

"You had that under control. Don't be ridiculous. I will take Aria home so go take care of those who spotted her, that's your job right"

"It's also my job to look after my artist so I will take her home myself. Aria wouldn't like it if she finds out you got involved with her again. You've cancelled your contract with her so there's no use doing all this. Please move aside" Jimmy said staring at Aria who was laying inside the car.

Matthew sighted some people running over to the parking lot.

"Oh my goodness, it's FOX. It's Matt" Some fans yelled as they ran.

Jimmy's eyes widened in shock and Matthew shot the car and waved at Jimmy.

"You take care of that. I'm off" Matt said sarcastically before getting into his car.

He drove off immediately. Jimmy ruffled his hair frustratedly.

"Matt!" Fans screamed running after his car but he was way too fast for them to catch up.

"I'm sorry, Aria. I tried to stop him" Jimmy uttered tiredly.

I'm not going to hear the end of it. Why does he have to put me on a tight spot like this. Jimmy groaned in his head as he walked back to Aria's car.

"She couldn't even meet with her best friend. Who made her drink to stupor? It's so unlike Aria" Jimmy uttered as he put some thoughts into it.

He brought his phone from his pocket then placed a call across to Mrs Kim.

"CEO Kim," Jimmy said as she took the call.

"What is it Jimmy? Why are you calling at this time of the day?" She asked across the phone.

"I only stepped out for a few minutes there at the gathering but when I got back Aria was completely intoxicated. I find it suspicious because Aria doesn't drink on gatherings" Jimmy reported.

"You might not know but Aria have been on a tight spot lately so it's only normal for her to get a drink on gatherings like that. Don't think too much about it but where's Aria right now? You've got to keep your eyes on her, she can't afford to make any mistakes now that the date of her new album will be released" Mrs Kim said.

"I don't have to remind you how crucial times like this are to me so be on your toes. I don't mind her getting drunk as long as she doesn't create any troubles for me" Mrs Kim said seriously and Jimmy nodded.

"It's nothing for you to worry about boss. I've got Aria under control" Jimmy said nervously.

"That's good. If that's all, have a good night" She said and hung up.

Jimmy got into the car and drove off immediately.

.........

Alina was done attending to the patients and she changed back to her clothes and head out of the hospital.

"Alina!" Nolan called from behind and Alina turned around.

"Yes, professor" She answered.

"Are you heading home now?" Nolan asked awkwardly and Alina nodded.

"Yes professor but why do you ask? Do you want me to do anything for you?" Alina asked with a shrug.

"You've been giving me cold shoulders ever since you arrived at the hospital today. Since we're leaving together. How about I give you a ride home" Nolan said slowly.

"What do you mean professor? I've always acted this way around you. I don't wish to cross my boundaries again so I will appreciate it if you don't speak with me for personal reasons. I will leave now and thanks for the offer. I will go by bus" Alina said coldly then walked away.

Why's she so twisted? She sounded so cold, have she forgotten who I am? How could she speak to me in that way? She was talking to the other guy so politely. And now, she has lost her manners around me. Nolan said in his head with a frown.

.....

Alina walked along the road side, headed to the bus stop.

I haven't spoken to Aria today. Who knows if she's okay? I sounded a bit harsh on dad in the morning as well and I didn't even apologize to him for that. Alina said in her head lost in thoughts.

She didn't even realise it when a high schooler on bicycle was about to hit.

When she realised it, she was on the ground already.

"Ouch!" Alina winced as she scratched her elbow on the ground.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry miss" The boy apologized and Alina waved at him to go.

"It's okay" Alina said slowly and he drove off.

She walked to the bus stop and sat down on a bench. She blew air on her injury with a little hand fan.

Nolan was driving by when he saw her and noticed the scratch on her hand. He quickly parked at the road side and rushed down to Alina with a little first aid kit.

"Let me have a look" Nolan said calmly as he held her hand to have a closer look.

Alina was amazed at his presence when she least expected it.

Nolan blow air on the injury and he sat down next to her and he treated her injury.

"Do you always carry that around?" Alina threw in and Nolan nodded with his eyes fixed on Alina's injury as he applied a sticking plaster on it.

"And that's why I told you, I will drop you off at home. If you had listened to me this wouldn't have happened" Nolan nagged and Alina moved away from him.

"I'm fine and I can take care of myself. It's only a little scratch so don't make a fuss about it. My bus is here, I will leave now. Bye" Alina said as the bus heading to her street stopped at the bus stop.

She glanced at Nolan before getting in.

Alina was about taking her seat at the bus when she saw Nolan rushing into the bus and he head to her seat. Alina looked at him in shock.

"Professor, what are you doing here? What about your car?" Alina asked curiously.

"I'm here to take my thank you from you so I'm all ears" Nolan said with a half smile and Alina looked at the window then shook her head.

"Don't be ridiculous prof. You should get down at the next bus stop. You should go take your car. You can't just leave it at the road side" Alina said.

Nolan brought out his phone from his pocket.

"Hello sir, please can you come over to Margolis street and pick up my car please. I've got a little of emergency so I didn't take the car" Nolan said over the phone then hung up.

"Can you call car shifters to come carry your car when you're here. Professor, what's going on? Why are you suddenly being clingy?" Alina asked staring at him suspiciously.

"What do you mean clingy? I've heard lots of things about what's going on in so many areas and you don't seem to be the strong type. I'm only here to see you get home safely. You're my uncle's employee, this is the least I can do for him" Nolan said.

"So is this how you take every female employee home or you're just trying to piss me off because you don't like seeing me at peace" Alina blurted.

"You must dislike me so much for you to say such words so easily. Don't forget I'm still professor Nolan" Nolan said and Alina scoffed.

"The great professor Nolan wouldn't do a thing like this. I can protect myself so don't be so nosy. I don't know you to be that kind of a person"

"When I'm generous, don't take advantage of it. You might not like my attitude tomorrow. You can protect yourself but you couldn't even protect yourself from getting a scratch. Your duty is to heal patients and that's why you've got to always look out for yourself, if something happens to you then what will be the fate of the hospital. I'm only looking out for the lose so don't take this personal" Nolan said seriously and Alina nodded with a silly look on her face.

She turned to the window as she admired the evening scenery. She opened the window slightly and the breeze coming from the window, blew her hair making her collar bones and ears visible.

Nolan stared at her with admiration.

"So pretty" Nolan uttered softly without even realising it.

Alina turned to him and he cleared his throat.

"I meant the night view, it's pretty. It's been a while I last enjoyed watching the night view from an angle or I think I enjoy watching something else even more" Nolan said with an innocent smile and Alina smiled along.

"It's hard trying to take a guess on what you're thinking. So what do you enjoy watching more?"

"You!" Nolan uttered and Alina stared at him in shock.

"What!" Alina gasped.

"What were you thinking? I was trying to say you're covering my wristwatch with your bag and that's what I enjoy watching the most since it's related to my profession" Nolan said as he avoided having eye contact with Alina.

"That's cool. You've got so much passion for your job and that's quite admirable, I never thought of you to be so thoughtful" Alina said calmly.

"How can you be petty with your compliments as well? It wouldn't have hurt if you went straight up and said I'm Amazing" Nolan bragged and Alina laughed then pressed the stop button.

"I can't lie with compliments so be glad you got that from me" Alina said then stood up.

"Where are you going?" Nolan asked curiously.

"Do I really need to answer that" Alina said and head to the back door.

Nolan followed suit.

"Professor, why are you still following me? You drove down with me to the bus stop, I'm grateful for that so can you go back home now. It's getting late" Alina complained and Nolan walked forward leaving her behind with his eyes on his wristwatch.

"And where are you going now?" She asked tiredly.

"I'm walking you home so hurry up" Nolan said.

"That's not the way to my house" Alina said and Nolan ran back to her.

"Please lead the way" He said calmly and she laughed.

Alina and Nolan got to her house.

"We're here, bye professor and thanks for walking me home although it wasn't necessary"

"I can go now. You've arrived home safe and sound" Nolan said as he sluggishly turned around.

Sam came out of the gate to dispose the trash when he saw Alina and Nolan.

"Dad, you came back home early today" Alina said but Sam's eyes were fixed on Nolan.

"Greetings father, I'm Nolan, Alina's colleague at the hospital" Nolan introduced swiftly with a bow as he turned around.

Alina looked at him with grimace.

"Father!" Alina repeated in shock and Sam started laughing.

"Were you about to leave?" Sam asked and Nolan nodded sadly.

"Please come in. Let's have dinner together before you leave. This is the first time you're visiting so let's leave a good first impression" Sam said and Alina bite her lower lips frustratedly.

"No dad, he was about to leave" Alina said and Nolan pushed her aside and walked to Sam.

"I was getting really hungry. Thanks for the offer, father" Nolan said politely and Sam laughed.

"For some weird reasons, it sounds amazing when you call me father. Let's go in, son" Sam smiled and he went inside with Nolan.

"Ahhh! What's wrong with professor Nolan today?" Alina groaned as she clenched her fist and then she went in.

TBC....
