I ran towards the bar where I saw Mr. Peterson talking to some guys.

''Umm..excuse me sir?'' I asked nervously and everyone looked at me so i gave them a soft smile. They were looking like businessmen..

Oh..may be they both are here for a meeting..

''Yes Miss. Miller?''

''Umm..actually..Mr. Ashton wants your..jacket..''

He was confused but as his clients were waiting for him he opened his jacket and gave it to me.

I took it and went back to Mr. Ashton..

''Here..'' i said giving the jacket.

He put it on..gorgeous...

''Go away. And please don't show your face again tonight.'' He shouted.

Excuse me? Calm down Liz!

''Okay...'' i said and walked away.

Even i don't want to see your face...not only tonight..but never ever..

I was so consumed in my mind that i bumbed into someone.

''Oh..i am really sorry'' i said hurriedly.

''Its okay...Liza?'' He said.

''Hi!! Jack? How are you?'' I was wanting to talk to him sometime and here i met him tonight after that incident.

''I am good. What about you?'' He asked smiling.

''Excuse me.''

I heard his hard voice and move aside to give him the way..i forgot he was behind me. He went away from there.

''Umm..i am fine too..''

''I thought you didn't like to go to the pubs.'' He said raising his brows.

''Yeah i still don't like it but i am here with my friends.'' I smiled.

''So you got friends..''

I was not having any friends here except..Jack..but now i got Mel and Ben.

''Yeah..they work with me.''

''Nice...why not go there and have a chat?'' He asked showing a table.

''Sure.''

We sat there and talked for sometime.

''I am really sorry for my behaviour last time...i didn't mean to hurt you..'' i said apologitically.

''Hey its nothing. And you did the right thing because now i also think that it was just an...attraction and nothing more.. and i was scared that i will lose you as my friend..'' he said with guilty.

''No way Jack. You were the only friend i made here after i moved in this city. You will always be my friend.'' I said smiling.

''Thanks a lot dear! Come have a dance with me atleast!'' He said while standing.

''Sure.''

We went on dancing that means i was doing nothing but following his steps and laughing when i was hitting his foot by mistake every time.

''You are a terrible dancer.'' He laughed.

''I know.'' I started laughing too.

''So who are your friends?'' He asked while dancing.

I roamed my eyes in the pub and found Ben and Mel sitting.

''There they are.'' I pointed towards them.

My eyes went from them to....him...he was again drinking...and again...looking at me...his eyes were looking dangerous...

I moved my hands from Jack's shoulder. And maintained a distance between us.

''Umm...i..i.think we should join them...'' i said him nervously.

He nodded happily.

Why are you afraid of him? It is not that he is.....jealous..or he don't like you to be with someone else...he is your boss not your...husband or boyfriend...that you are feeling bad to be with some other guys...

But...his eyes are telling me to move away...

Oh really? Now you can read his eyes?

I..i..dont know...

''Hey! Come down to earth!'' Jack said clapping his hands in front of my face.

''Oh..sorry..''

We went towards Mel and Ben and sat on the vacant chairs.

''Meet my friend Jack.'' I said to them.

''Hi!'' He said extending his hand towards Ben then Mel.

''Hi..i am Benny.''

''Hi! I am Melissa.''

He was looking at Mel with a curious look.

''What is her full name?'' He whispered to me.

Melissa...what? I don't know!

''I don't know.''

''Oh..'' his phone started ringing.

''Excuse me.'' He said and went away.

''He was the same guy who 'liked' you right?'' Ben asked after he was gone.

''Yeah...''

''I have seen him somewhere..'' Mel said thoughtfully.

''May be you have. He works at the supermarket where i used to work when i shifted here.'' I informed them.

''Oh okay... Lets have some drink.'' Mel said excited.

''NO!!'' Ben and I said at the same time.

She rolled her eyes and went to the bar.

''She really loves to drink.'' Ben said while laughing.

''Yeah..'' i heard my message tone.

From: Mr. James Ashton.

Go home.

Whoa!! Is he serious? Why will i go home?

I ignored the message and started chatting with Ben about her new work.

There was again a text...from him..

I said GO HOME.

This is too much! He can't force me to go home.

I searched the crowd with my eyes to find him drinking at the bar with Mr. Peterson. But he was not looking at me this time. I averted my eyes back to see Jack coming towards us.

''Sorry.. it was an important call.'' He informed and sat down.

''Its alright.''

''You are too young to be working as an assistant to them...no offence..i was curious.'' He said to Ben.

''Yeah..i am 21. Umm..and i...'' before she could finished her sentence my hand was caught by some giant who tugged me harshly and in a minute i was out of the pub.

''What the he..'' Mr. Ashton?

''This is too much Mr. James Ashton.'' I said angrily.

''Sit in the car.'' He said opening the passenger door of his car.

''No. I will not.'' I said sternly.

He crushed the glass with his hand which he was holding....blood was dripping from his palm...

OMG!!

I was shocked by his behaviour. I looked at his eyes but there were no tears...

then why is it in my eyes? Am i feeling his pain? Or am i scared of his behaviour?

''Are you crazy?'' I asked in a shocked tone.

''I said SIT IN THE CAR.'' more blood was dripping from his hand.

''Okay..'' i sat down but i was a little dazed by his stunt.

He sat down on the driver seat and started the engine.

Where is he going? No i mean... where is he taking me... what does he want....

You

No...he can't...

What should i do now?

''Please take care of him''

His mother's voice ringed in my head.

Really? How could you take care of some psycho? A mental retarted child? No a mental retarted handsome jerk!!

Do hell with your child Mrs. Ashton because i don't know how to take care of him.

And in this situation i don't think your son need any help...but i really need it right now...or i don't know if he is going to kill me to get rid of me...

Oh no!! Now i get it! He is going to kill you Liz!!!

My eyes widened at the thought.

''Stop the car.'' No response.

''Where are you taking me?'' No response.

''FOR GOD SAKE! STOP THE CAR!''

The car stopped suddenly and i hit my head on the dashboard.

Ouch!

Whoa! Am i dead?

I opened my eyes but i could see everything. He was not in the driver seat. And there was no cut on my forehead.

Thank God! I am safe!

The passenger door opened and there he is waiting for me to come out.
