Benson nodded a little taken aback, what did he need a new phone for ? He has like three expensive phone and all was bought within last month.
"Yes Sir." Benson bowed his head and left. Its none of his business anyways and if it's for someone, he will definitely find out.
Derrick stood up and went straight to his office with the thought of how he met Nina for the first time.
She was his night in shinning amor. His princess charming. But why couldn't she recognize him?
Each time he remember how Nina saved him that night from dying for the second time, he couldn't help but wonder how she is a superwoman yet bullied by her own family then.
flashback
Derrick drove into the city. The street lights shone brightly.
He feels so frustrated, drained of energy.
Derrick woke up earlier and he couldn't sleep, the nightmare kept occuring.
Everything that happened before he went into coma hunt him so badly each time he lay to sleep.
How he got into an accident, the pains, the sufferings. Everything tormented him each night.
Instead of staying in his study all night, he decided to take a drive around the city for the first time since he woke up.
He wouldn't let his chauffeur drive him and he wouldn't let Mr. Arthur follow him.
Derrick wants to be alone. He loves his peace and privacy.
The traffic free night added to his peace as he drove with no car interrupting him or something.
He continue driving without caring about where he was heading to.
If this will make him escape his mental fight then, he wouldn't mind driving to nowhere.
After ten minutes drive, Derrick heard something hit his car and the car came to a stop abruptly.
The car was very fine before he left so what now?
Derrick came down from the car to check what was wrong with it.
He opened the bonnet but he didn't find anything wrong with it.
Getting to his car to carry his phone to call Mr. Arthur, he was ambushed by some set of guys.
"Get on your knees"They hit him so hard that he fell in their middle.
Derrick wasn't strong enough, he's just recovering
"What did I do?" Derrick asked calmly holding his stomach.
If not for the fact that he's still recovering and one of them were holding a gun pointed on his head, he would have kicked them out.
Didn't they know who he is?
"Ask God that when you meet him in heaven."
The one holding gun replied as he pull the trigger.
Derrick closed his eyes waiting for the worse to happen.
He escaped death the first time and now? He's really going to die?
Who could be so after his life huh?
"Don't." A female voice rang among them.
Derrick quickly opened his eyes to see a young lady standing and staring at the four boys from one to another.
They all gave a wicked laugh staring at her.
A little beauty like her telling them to stop their operation?
"Who are you to tell us to stop little beauty?" One of them asked.
The young lady walked boldly to them with her arms crossed.
"What if we strike a deal? Will you let him go unhurt?" She bargained fearlessly which amused them.
Derrick forgot the pain in his stomach as he focus on the bold lady in front of him.
How did she think she's going to save him from this hefty boys? Isn't she endangering her life?
But truthfully, her courage is one in a million. He's never seen someone like her.
The four of them exchange glances with a smirk.
"A deal? State it first." The one with gun said. He was standing close to Derrick so he wouldn't try to escape and with the way they surrounded him, any wrong step, he will be dead!
So Derrick sat on the floor there quietly.
"What if I give you my body in exchange of letting him go?"
The lady said seductively walking from each to another.
She stopped by the one with a gun. Her hand flew to his chest and he began rubbing him ever so gently.
He couldn't help but let out a moàn.
The man looked at others as they spoke through their eyes. He smiled and grabbed the lady by the waist.
"It wouldn't be bad to have a taste of a beautiful lady like you. We were sent actually but we can let him go for you."
He licked his lips lustfully staring down at her body.
His mind drifted away from Derrick focusing all his attention on the lady.
When the lady was sure that the man's whole mind was with her.
She kicked him in the place were the sun doesn't shine and the gun came flying to her hand.
How stupid!
They all fell on their knees with their eyes widened. A woman just tricked them?
How did this happen?
Unknown to them, she was oblivious of how to use a gun but with the way she was perfectly holding it and pointing it at them, they all thought she would scatter their heads without thinking twice.
"Lie flat on the floor, if you make any move, I will pieces your head"
She warned authoritatively.
If they had known, they wouldn't have carried only a gun. To them, killing Derrick Xaxin will be very easy since he was with no guard but here, a lady just used their head.
They did as instructed not taking any chance of dying.
"Get into your car and leave." She said to Derrick who sat frozen in one place.
How the hell did she do it?
After what seems like forever, he composed himself and stood up.
"Tha..."
"Leave." He was interrupted by her voice.
Derrick quickly entered his car fortunately, the car roared back to life but he didn't move.
The lady began retreating back with her gun still pointed at them.
In no time, she disappeared out of sight.
Derrick turned his car to the direction she ran into but she was no where in sight
He didn't get to say a thank you to her.
She saved him and left just like that. She left!
