Chapter 2 - Chapter 1

❤NARRATOR'S POV❤

Love, love, love

He looks so cool, though he might be a bodyguard... He is so..., Thalia thought not realizing she almost missed a foot.

Thalia just got got back from a business trip and was walking towards her car, all attentions were on her, of course she is the famous CEO of 'the Hart's pharmaceuticals.

19TH MARCH 1973

(^O^)❤THALIA'S POV❤

My bad!, why in hell did I say all that?....

Few moments ago

"I am this close to you, don't you feel anything? "

"Like what?", 'Chris replied looking blankly at me'

" I mean, you have worked with me for 10 years now, always around me, I mean I don't see you near any other girl, so I was thinking I am the one"

"I still don't get you", 'he replied nodding his head'

I took few steps nearer that we had barely an inch separating us and I looked into those curved blue eyes starring at me then I whispered to him. " What about like this? "

"I feel uncomfortable", 'he boldly spat'

" Oh my goodness ", I was so furious that I ran out of words and took my steps back, throwing my hair to the back... Is he doing this on purpose?, did he know how hard it was for me to say all those confessions right to his face?

" I need to get some things done, we have an hour before the conference meeting in Worcester and from Yemen to Worcester is about half an hour journey and I have also got to prepare for the journey, I ll take your leave, if you don't mind ".

" Get lost ", the word left me before I could refrain myself... I wanted to apologize but he was out of sight.

...Presently....

Tears rolled down my check as I strolled down the alley waiting for the so called Chris Olsen.

(^O^)❤CHRIS POV❤

Is she kidding me?, oh my goodness, she must be waiting... How on earth does she expect that I will ever show up in front of her after that crazy stunt she pulled, crazy thoughts just ran through my head as I increased my working speed and placed my hand on my bleeding heart.

I have worked with her for ten years and saying that I have no feelings for her will be the biggest lie I have ever told but how am I supposed to admit,am just a bodyguard... How unlucky...

She soon came in view, so I just lowered my eyes and walked over.

" Where were you? ", 'she calmly asked and I foolishly gave no reply', " Do you know I was waiting or not? ", how am I supposed to give an answer?

" Am sorry, boss"

"Call me that again and you get fired", 'she thundered'

" Okay, boss"

"You are fired", 'she blurted out and started walking away'

Firing me from work would be much better than firing me from the world, if she leaves here all by herself, Mr Hart won't spare me.

" Boss, boss, I called out running after her and I saw her cheeks growing bigger, a good sign that she was smiling. I stopped right in front of her and spread out my hands so she can't run, "am sorry but you can't leave on your own"

"Why? "

"Am fired but not dismissed"

She moved closer and I expected a slap but she gave me a hug instead and before my brain could process it, I heard a gunshot and felt her gasp on my shoulder. I looked down at her back and saw the shoulder of her dress covered with blood, I tore myself apart from her and carried her speedily to the airport clinic.

THE HART'S MANSION

(^O^)❤NARRATOR'S POV❤

There was full tension in the house as Mr Hart's voice thundered at Chris who was standing apologetic all you before him.

(^O^)❤CHRIS POV❤

Is she that insane to have taken a gunshot for me after firing me?, what is wrong with this man who keeps venting it out on me?, his daughter might have just died, if I had walked away when she fired me.

"Do you have a death wish?, how did she get shot right before you?, won't I get an answer? ", 'Abel thundered'

" She fired me"

"Really?, what if?, you promised to secure her with your life, you weren't dismissed, she has to wake up and decide so you are still her bodyguard, do you get that? ", 'he thundered again'

" Yes sir "

I was so worried about Thalia that I hardly heard the details of what he said and prayed silently within me that he should just let me go back to her right away.

He nodded at me and walked inside, I felt so relieved and was about to take my leave when Diego arrived looking at me like I just fell from the sky. I wanted to ignore his presence and just walk away but he started a conversation.

"Is Thalia in?, she wasn't at the conference meeting", 'he asked feigning ignorance'

" She would have also not attended if I had got shot"

"Did something happen at the airport? ", he asked and I wondered if my suspicion was right, how did he know it was the airport?

" Yes, she got shot and is at the hospital, she has been transferred to the city "

"Why did you let her get shot?, isn't it your duty to protect her? ", 'he grabbed my collar with an angry stare'

" Nice acting", I whispered to myself and jerked his hand away, adjusting my shirt.

"You are fired for letting Thalia get shot", 'he re sounded'

" She will decide that ", I replied with and smirked at him.
