Chapter 2 - 2. The anonymous man

Elena- "As if all this wasn't confusing enough, when I got out of the car, I was standing before a mansion, no, it was more like a castle from a fairy tale just a little villain- coded. The guards took me inside and there I found a man sitting on a sofa looking directly into my eyes. Suddenly, I remembered that he was the guy who helped me when I crashed my bike into a car but still it felt like I knew him very well."

The man was Samuel Hastings, a man who never shared more than necessary, was a very stern looking man, gave everybody the chills, took over his father's business and made it into one of the best. He was the kind of man you never want to mess with.

Mr. Hastings- "Hello Elena, my name is Samuel Hastings. If you don't remember, you crashed your bike in a car."

Elena- "No, I remember, you helped me get up but what happened after is a blur."

Mr. Hastings- "I know, you became unconscious and if it's needed that car was mine."

Elena- **I felt my stomach churning, this man had helped me even after I had crashed into his car. What was he Jesus or somethin'.**

"Uhm, I am really sorry Mr. Hastings for crashing into your car, actually I was just not in my right mind."

Mr. Hastings- **That is not my concern Elena, I just want to know what were you doing there and I really hope it is not what I think**

"It's okay, it's just a car. Are you feeling okay now, Elena?"

Elena- **Was I dreaming or was this man just asking about my condition after I crashed into his car**

"Yes, but why am I here?"

Mr. Hastings- "Because I wanted you to be here."

Elena- "Huh??"

Mr. Hastings- **I wish I could just tell you the reason Elena but I promised him**

"You are here because I have to ask you something."

Elena- **He didn't put charges or tell the police that I crashed his car and instead he wanted to ask something well that's not odd at all**

"Yeah, tell me what do you want to ask."

Mr. Hastings- "What were you doing there?:

Elena- **I felt like a strong current had went through my body when he asked that question**

"Uhh why are you asking this?"

Mr. Hastings- "I need to know why you were there. Please answer my question."

Elena- **I didn't get why he was so curious about me being there. It was a little odd because I didn't even know him well except the feeling of nostalgia**

"I was there to talk to someone about my boyfriend well I guess ex now.."

Mr. Hastings- **Thank god Elena you were not there for that reason.**

" Okay, you can go now, Elen."

Elena- **I felt a sharp churning inside my stomach because that's the name my dad used to call me but how did he know that. I decided to let go of my curiosity on this mysterious Mr. Hastings because he looked like trouble and I was feeling so many emotions at the same time and also a little weak so I thought maybe I'll ask him if I get a chance someday but right now I needed to look into the matter which was the reason I went there to talk to him and what was he doing there and till I get my answers, I cannot tell anyone about him not even this Mr. Hastings**

"Yes, Mr. Hastings and thank you for not calling the cops on me."

Mr. Hastings- "Uhh yeah it's no big deal but Elen drive safe and be careful."

Elena- "Yes Mr.Hastings"

Samuel told one of his guards to drop Elena at her place and as she was leaving he looked at her with hope that she would turn back but unfortunately she didn't but that didn't bring down Samuel's hopes for her to fall for him and he smiled a little for which the guards started whispering because they don't even remember the last time their boss smiled and this silly looking girl had made him smile which really confused the guards.
