GONE VIRAL

"Good morning Eddie", Eddie's assistant Jane greeted over the phone" good morning" Eddie replied closing the door behind him softly as he sat down on the couch in his study room. " How was your night?" She asked sounding very concern about yesterday's schedules, " was okay Jane considering how problematic yesterday was" he said with a low chuckle scrolling at the news feed on his iPad, "glad to know you were okay, so I just wanted to let you know your schedules for today is going to the balanced except... Eddie glanced at the telephone that disrupted Jane "give me a moment to Jane" he said muting the call, picking up the telephone he answered "yea?"

" Good morning sir" a polite female voice greeted, " go on" he answered sounding quite impatient and irritated.

"The young lady you came with last night asked me to call you, the female voice state.

"I'll be there in 2 minutes" he replied ending the call, unmuting Jane's call he continued,

"Jane please email my schedule for today okay??" Jane cleared her throat " alright boss" she ended the call geez was that so hard to say rather than keeping me waiting Jane sucked in as she typed on her laptop.

Eddie descended the stairs while tapping on a video which seem to have gone viral "ABIGAIL CHEATS ON HER BOYFRIEND ACE AFTER THREE YEARS" the video starts with a girl supposed to be Abigail hugging a man who comfortably placed his hands on her waist as he kissed her deeply it was also obvious to editors that some angles we are manipulated, not wanting to disturb his guest he paused the video as he saw the lonely back of the woman from last night sitting stiffly in the sitting room "good morning miss" he greeted as Abigail turned sharply to see her good Savior who helped her from the hands of death, she stiffly stood up as he smiled gently while sitting opposite her, "please sit mam" he added looking at her calmly. He didn't know if she already knew his identity as no one except his parents, siblings and George his childhood friend has ever been to his place. He was Eddie Riggs commonly known as the fallen Angel the most famous singer in the whole world whose face has been masked from the very first day he started his journey in music.

Not everyone really knows he's the son of Damon Riggs , Eddie preferred staying hidden as he didn't want anybody to make his private life public. He hated the paparazzi, journalists and those crazy media personalities who could not stay a day without cooking absurd stories about his private life . " Am Ed" he introduced abbreviating his name to see if she was going to fix the puzzle and know his real identity, " thank you so much for saving my life" Abigail greeted gratefully brushing away the formal introduction. " It's nothing I should be the one apologizing for last night" he added with a genius smile "no you don't I was the one who almost put you at risk I'm sorry" she said looking straight into his eyes and that's made Eddie very uncomfortable as he tried to advert her stare. " Where do you stay? Or do you stay around here"

"Not really" she replied as a eyes dilated revealing the sadness that she struggled to keep abay, " then where" Eddie curiously asked, something about this young lady kept disturbing him he has tried to see what it is but it's almost seem impossible just now he saw the sadness and pain that's flooded her eyes and how stiff she sat, he must tell she was very beautiful even though her eyes lacked the light she was a charm her small smile flooded his heart with warmth he tried to shake off the feeling off she's a stranger he reminded himself, " feel free ms I could drop you at your place" he added not giving her any room to negotiate or answer his question he stood up "let me get my car keys " Abigail nodded as she wrapped her hands around herself. Eddie hurried into his bedroom he picked up a base ball cap and grab his car keys racing towards the stairs his phone vibrated who could it be he wondered as he descended the stairs it was George he busied the call as he landed on the last staircase and saw no one, he looked around if he could see her immediately he ran out to check if she was outside, but she was nowhere he called the security guard was locking the gate.

" Hey" he called out to the guard who rushed to his direction

" yes boss"

"Did you see any young lady? He asked impatiently

"Yes boss she just left now" he answered

left???

"Yes" the guard replied with his head slightly bowed. Eddie was confused and surprised at the same time, why did she leave that way? Was she okay? Does she have any mental issues?? But she just seem fine some moment ago. He dipped his hand in his right pocket and dialed George's number he wanted to inform him about the strange lady he almost knocked out yesterday, but he thought against it, maybe you could just stay out of it but something in him yearned to help her, he felt a compelling Force taking him to her he didn't want any issues or problem now that he is about to release a new music he wanted to concentrate but, she, this strange young lady that has caught his interest was going to be a thorn in his ass, then he massaged his temple what was he going to do,immediately he opened his car and drove out he was going to search for her but wait what was her name???
