"It's not the time to debate Mr. Miller. The more important thing now is your daughter, nothing should matter before that" Asher said clutching Louisa near to his chest
"I do know that Asher, but you too should understand that the media is following our every move and now if we take Louisa out they will follow us and not leave us until they get some flashing news" Oliver explained
"We can go through the secret way Mr. Miller and we can use my vehicles, in that case, the media will think that we have come to a conclusion so we are leaving the place and they won't even get a doubt Louisa or the Millers being with us," Asher said them
"That will the best idea," Henry said
"What is this sudden change in your behavior Asher and why are you not leaving my daughter as if your life depends on her?" Oliver questioned eyeing at his daughter in Asher's arms
"I am just being helpful Mr. Miller and as you are elder than me I am carrying her, that's it. Now we need to leave now" Asher said rushing towards the elevator with Louisa in his hands
"Sir, I can easily carry Louisa, ask him to leave her," Tim said in Oliver's ears
"Do you think he will listen to anyone now? He is just doing everything to bring Louisa back to normal. Now it's not important who carries her, the important thing is who can help us" Oliver replied walking towards the elevator where Asher is already there
"Henry, ask your special guards to follow us in disguise. We need to be careful and assist the teams in building back the software. Asher logged into all our devices although he logged out we should never believe in our enemies" Oliver replied
By the time Oliver completed his speech Asher pressed the elevator buttons and the elevator started moving down
"Why the heck is he moving alone without us? Tim," Oliver yelled
"Security teams on all floors Alert. Basement security, alert" Tim said on the call
"Sir, let's go through the other elevator," Tim said
Oliver nodded at Henry before entering the second elevator
"Louisa, what happened to you? People usually call you strong but what turned you so weak? This innocent face of yours is drawing me towards you. I don't want anything wrong happening to you. If at all something was deemed to happen then the reason should be me," Asher said to unconscious Louisa
Asher clutched Louisa near to his heart all the while and when the elevator reached the ground floor he stepped out only to witness many security personnel standing opposite to him with blazing guns
"What is this? Why you people are pointing guns towards me?" Asher yelled seriously
"Because you tried sneaking out" this time it's Tim
"I am sneaking out, really? Where will I sneak out with all this security blazing at me with their guns and I just pressed the elevator buttons because Mr. Miller is wasting his time speaking to Mr. Broad neglecting his daughter's state? If someone would have been in your place they would have thanked me but Millers are different they welcome the people who help them by flashing guns" Asher yelled
"No Asher, we are already in stress and when we saw you going away with Louisa we are just petrified a little more. Excuse us for this" Oliver said [politely
"Drop the guns; go back to your positions," Oliver said to the security personnel
"You Millers never stop surprising me. At one minute, you people thank me and stay all polite and in another, you just get rude and blaze guns at us. This is the reason people term you as unpredictable. What should I believe? The polite behavior or the rash one?" Asher asked
"Asher, no we are sincerely sorry. Let's leave we need to rush to the hospital" Oliver said
Asher spoke nothing back and walked out of the room
"You people may leave in the big vehicle. I will be coming in this one with Mr. Miller and his daughter. In that way, no one will get any doubt. After a certain point we can change our paths when the media stops following us" Asher said to his people who are waiting in the basement with their vehicles
"Take care," Jordan said before sitting in his car
Oliver sat on the backside and Asher carefully sat in the vehicle so that Louisa won't get bruised
"Slide her towards me," Oliver told him
Even though Asher doesn't want to do that he made Louisa sit between them and tilted her face towards Oliver's shoulder
Oliver looked at Asher intently when Asher's fingers lingered on his daughter's hand and with a lot of difficulty Asher pulled his hands back from hers when he saw Oliver staring at him
"Can I ask you something?" Oliver said after some time while the vehicle is moving
"It is nothing related to your work or the recent picture about which we are going bonkers"
Oliver said when Asher gave him a skeptical look
"Yeah you may," Asher said
"You are at Lox organizations to settle some matter with us and you have pressurized all of us that you need to meet Louisa and you even accused about her as strong-headed and arrogant but when you found her in the unconscious state what made you so empathetic all of a sudden?"
"MR. Miller, I am a human, it's a normal thing for humans to help people in distress" Asher replied
"Yeah, I accept that but you have carried my daughter in your arms and didn't allow any of us to even touch her, you were most worried about her other than me; even more than Tim. I don't think this is normal human behavior. I want to know the truth" there is seriousness in Oliver's voice while posing this question
"Mr. Miller, as you know yesterday was the first time I appeared before the world do you know the reason why I avoid appearing before the world?" Asher questioned and Oliver nodded his head in 'no'
"The world has been so cruel to me, there are many people who have shown me the worst days. I lost many important people before my eyes due to some vicious people and I know the pain of watching our people in distress and when I saw the same thing happening to your daughter my past memories flashed before me. I don't want them to repeat for you, so I have done those things whichever came to my mind. I haven't given that a thought" Asher replied looking at Louisa
Although Oliver wanted to ask much more questions he stayed silent and replied, "Thank you for keeping aside everything and helping us"
No one spoke a word after that and got engrossed in their own thoughts
