I asked Sam whose attention was focused on the road, as he drove to the company that day.My gaze was fixed intently on the contract with Macpherson, which he had given to me earlier, meticulously tracing every little details.

'Did he just mean Richard?' I thought, I couldn't believe he was talking about Richard like that when he didn't need anyone to remind him of how dangerous Richard was."Do you mean Richard? Are you justifying him now?" I asked, my words ringing with disbelief as I stared at him,"No Boss! That's not what I meant; I was only trying to be rational," he responded calmly, as he pulled his gaze from me, making me scoff and rolled my eyes."As far as I'm concerned, he deserved it, and I wished I had given him enough beating," I said, "I only hate the fact that I had bent so low to his level, but I wished you didn't restrain me," My jaw clenched as soon as the words left my lips, and as the s

I didn't need anyone to remind me that time was of the essence, and I had to get her by every means possible.As I strolled towards the door, that morning, my father's voice rang from behind me,"Going to see that girl again?" He asked, his tone tight with annoyance, halting me in my tracks.'Again?' I thought, trying to comprehend what he meant by that, and just then it dawned on me that my father really got his eyes on me.I turned sharply, my eyes narrowing in annoyance, and I fixed my gaze on my father, whose face had no smile."How..."
