BXBX NOVEL Chapter 270 - Felt Sad
" I think it is better for you to go to Canada and stay with Steven and Ruby. It is not good for your health" He said, patting her hair. Instantly she snapped at him and shouted, " Why are you trying to send me away from you? " She glared at him, her eyes teary. He sighed and said, " I am sorry for that Katherine, but you are not well. You have to take care of yourself more, and going to Canada will ensure your safety. " he looked at her with concern.
Katherine looked up at him, her eyes full of tears. She wiped them away and said, " Are you saying that I am not safe here? " She raised her head and looked at him, her hands on his chest. He sighed and said, " I am sorry Katherine, but I do not want you to get hurt. You are important to me, and I do not want anything bad to happen to you. " He held her tightly, not wanting to let her go. He could feel her warmth against his chest and it made him feel better. He could smell the scent of her hair, and it made him feel even better. He closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of her body against his. He could feel her heart beating and it made him happy.
A few minutes later, he remembered that Joseph was waiting in his cabin. He released her and said, " I will order some food for you. Have it. Meanwhile, I will talk with Uncle Joseph ". She nodded her head quietly. He walked out of the private chamber and found Joseph waiting for him.
" I am so sorry to make you wait " Adrian apologized. Joseph gave an understanding smile in return. Then they discussed recruiting new marketing staff for the company. Just then, Adrian got the call from the reception that someone named, Michael came to meet him. Listening to Micheal\'s name, Adrian was so happy.
" Send him to my cabin" he informed the receptionist.
After having lunch, Katherine came out of the private chamber. She sat next to Joseph silently. Just then, Micheal entered the cabin and greeted Adrian.
"How are you? It\'s been many days since I meet you " Micheal said to Adrian.
Adrian stood up from the chair with a smile and walked towards him. Then he introduced Katherine and Joseph to Micheal. Later, he introduced Micheal as Thomas\'s cousin who is living in this city. Michael was six feet two inches tall. He had a muscular body with a decent look. His eyes were brown in color and matched his hair. He looked around thirty years old. He had a kind smile on his face. He looked like someone who is reliable and honest. He seemed like a decent guy. Katherine liked him on the first impression. Joseph also liked him. He seemed like a person who will not betray his family.
As Joseph\'s mobile rang, he excused himself and left the cabin. There were only three of them left in the cabin. Katherine wanted to know about Michael as she met him for the first time. Micheal told her that he was a marketing professional who came to Boston to work for a company. He was originally from Chicago but was living in Boston for the past year. He will be moving to this city in a few days as he was going to join in their company as a marketing head. He has known Thomas being his cousin since he was a child. Katherine felt happy about the news.
" You knew it before!" She asked Adrian. He nodded his head with a small smile.
"Nowadays, you became a secret box" saying she rolled her eyes. Micheal thought better to leave the cabin and informed, " I need to report my joining in the company". He walked out the cabin closing the door behind him.
By now, she had known that he will not give her any information without a reason. Katherine was not a person who liked to be kept in the dark. She wanted to know what is happening around her. Especially she wanted her husband to share everything with her first. She was disappointed as he was not opening with her. She understood that he wanted to protect her but she wanted to know the reason. "You are not ready to share everything with me. I really want you to share it with me. I am your wife, " she said emphatically.
" Dont stress yourself for small things... " he replied. She expected that he would feel a bit guilty but he didn\'t. She let out of sigh and stood up from the chair. He noticed him working on the laptop as if she was not present in the cabin. " I am going to home" She informed in a serious tone.
Adrian looked up from the laptop and said quietly, " I will go with you". She shook her head, " I don\'t want to trouble you. It\'s nothing serious, I can manage it by myself". But he insisted, " I am coming with you, I will be there in a while. I have to finish these few things first. Please, let me finish these things". She nodded her head with his words and sat on the chair.
She took her mobile and made a call to Ruby as she was feeling bored. She talked with her and asked about her son. She enquired about the the progress of his health. She was happy to know that he is fine and doing well. There was a small pause in their conversation. Then she asked, "How\'s Steven doing? Is he okay? Do you make a call to Martin?"
Ruby paused for a second, " I make a call, but he doesn\'t attend my call, so I leave a message" . Katherine felt her heart sink as her best friend avoiding them. " I am really sorry, Katherine, " she said apologetically. Katherine tried her best to hide the sadness in her voice. " It\'s okay, I understand. I will talk to you soon, " she replied and ended the call.
Adrian remained silent even though he heard their conservation while working on his laptop.
