Scared of A Girl

At Royal Philips Coorperation 

Lina just arrived in front of the main gate. She entered and all the receptionist glanced at her. She was wearing that lavender colour high V neck cocktail dress and her hair was styled in a ponytail. It looked like she came to attend a dinner party. One of the receptionist came infront of her and greeted her. 

It seemed like Edward has already informed them that she was coming. Lina felt so important and proud of herself. The other receptionist took a glance at her time to time. Because, they were thinking why she was so overdressed today. Definitely they knew her and she came before. But, this time it felt wierd to them. They were thinking that may be Edward and Lina were a couple now. They started to gossip about this and everyone seemed to agree with the dating thing. 

After coming infront of Edward's office, the receptionist went back. Lina knocked on the door and a captivating voice came from inside, " Come in" 

Lina entered into the office and her heartbeat stopped as she looked at that stunning man. How can someone be so handsome and good looking . It's normal for any woman to want him. 

Edward took a glance at her and gestured her to sit on the sofa. He was still sitting on his chair. He didn't move at all. 

Lina was used to that cold behavior but she always thinks that is just him trying to play hard. After a while, Edward look at her and asked her with a smile, " Miss Martin, would you like to have something?" 

Lina was not sure what to do so she just said, " I am okay with whatever you would like to serve me". Edward felt cringe with her answer. He never liked those behaviors of Lina. She always tries to flirt, but she doesn't know she is bad at this. Edward smiled at her made a phone call. After a while, one of his PA came in with a cup of cappuccino. She palced it in front of Lina and went back. 

Lina looked at the cup of cappuccino and then stared at Edward. She asked him with confusion, " Just for me? You won't have anything?" Edward got up from his chair and came infront of Lina. He sat at the opposite side of her. Then, he directly looked at her eyes with a smirk. 

Lina was not familiar with that look of Edward at all. She was trying hard to believe that he was flirting with her. But, deep down she was feeling scared of his gaze. Edward said with a calm voice, " I can't have this. Because, this was specifically made for you. It has the same drug mixtured in this which you mixed with the antidotes of Jennifer. " 

Lina was not ready for this at all. She never imagined that Edward would get to know about this. She felt shivering. But still she tried to play dumb to take a chance, " Edward, I don't have any idea what you are talking about", she managed to say that somehow. 

Edward rolled his eyes as he thumped on the table with a bang . The sound shivered the hell out of Lina. She was now sure that she felt in a trap. Edward invited her to his office to threatened her. He already got to know everything. She can't fool him at all. 

Edward eyes darkened as he looked at her and said, " Listen, Lina. I respect your family that's why I have been good to you. But, this time you crossed the line. If you try to do anything to harm Jennifer in future, I will not be good to you anymore. So, keep in mind to not mess with me again. You may leave now." 

Lina was on the verge of crying but she was also very much startled. Edward ignored her but he never yelled at her. This is the first time he yelled at her like that just because of that Jennifer. 

Lina came out of the office hurriedly as she was trying not to cry, " Jennifer, you bitch. You have to pay for this", she promised to herself as she comforted herself.

Edward went to his home as soon as he covered up his work. He was about to go straight into Jennifer's room, but he was stopped by Selina. Selina stared at him with a questionable look. She looked at him from toe to head. Edward was not sure why she was behaving like that. He frowned at his mom as he asked, " Mom, what's wrong?" 

Selina took a breath and decided to ask him, " Son, were you not on a date? How came so early?" 

Edward somehow guessed what Selina was talking about. He asked her straight, " You think I was on a date with Lina Martin?" 

Selina nodded. Edward frowned at her as he asked, " And who gave you that information?" Selina answered at once, " Of course ,Lina. This morning, I met with her at the shopping mall and she told me that you were going on a date. It's a good thing if you go on a date with Lina. After all, Lina is a good girl. Even, Jennifer likes her. Still I thought that it was kind of weird but Jennifer made me understand that it was actually a good thing. You are already so grown up, if you don't date now, then whe..." 

" Mom, wait. You even told Jennifer that I was going on a date?" , Edward was panicked inside as he asked this to his mother. Selina thought that Edward didn't like the idea that she discussed about his personal life with Jennifer. Selina was now feeling guilty. " I am sorry, son. But, you know your mom likes to talk a lot. And Jennifer is like my daughter. So, I shared that thing with her." 

Edward was speechless. His mother had no idea what she had done. For the first Edward was scared of a girl. He was now afraid to face Jennifer. He consoled his mother as he said, " It's alright Mom. I am not upset that you shared things with Jennifer. I am okay with this." 

Selina smiled at his son, " Okay my son, go and freshen up. I will wait for you to dinner. "

Edward went hurriedly in front of Jennifer's room. He was not sure if he should knock or just go away. He was really scared to face Jennifer right that moment. He couldn't believe himself as he was actually scared of that tiny girl. Who knows what she was thinking about him. What if she believed that he and Lina were actually dating. Edward felt the urge to clear up things with Jennifer. So, without thinking further he just knocked on the door. Edward knocked one more time but there was no sound coming from inside. So, he just went in and what he saw , his jaw dropped .
