Chapter 17: Chapter 17

"You are not going to pick me up for work ever again. You will not behave the way you are behaving today. It's very awkward for me, you should know that M… I mean Nick."

Nick was about to retort but she continued, "Let me finish first. I don't understand why you are behaving weirdly. You should know that you are the boss when I am the employee. If you keep doing the things you don't care whether people are talking behind you or not then please think of me at least. Yes, it won't affect you but I will be the victim. I don't want anybody to think that I have got this job using some dirty tricks. Please, I hope you will keep it in mind. Don't just take me in your lap and pull me to the elevator with you again."

"I will stop doing this if you marry me." As he spoke Sanaya giggled, "So you mean you are doing this just because I am not saying 'yes' for your marriage proposal?"

"Kind of. But also I don't have any intention of making you feel bad, trust me. I just don't want my future wife to face any hardships. I want to take care of you like my princess." He smiled, glancing at her.

Sanaya grinded her teeth and clenched her fists. Then she grinned at him, "I have always been a sand princess. I don't want your care, it will cause problems for me later. And I am serious…"

Cutting her off Nick strode closer to her all of a sudden, making her stunned. She scampered away and he strode closer.

Just then she slammed the edge of the wall when Nick was in front of her. So she could not move anymore.

"What… what do you want now?" Holding her cellphone in front of her mouth Sanaya tried not to gaze at him as he was closer already.

Grabbing her hand he moved her hand over her mouth and stooping closer he announced, "You. I want only you."

"Nick!" Sanaya was about to toss her hands at him when he grabbed them and kissed her cheeks suddenly.

Her eyes enlarged, she gulped and was having trouble moving. She was standing like a statue.

"I will give you three more days. Give me all the excuses you can to stop me from marrying you." Announcing so he cupped her cheeks with both of his hands when Sanaya was shrugging off her eyelids like a robot.

She was holding onto her breath, omg so hot! His intoxicated cologne, his very breathing so closer to her, his very presence near her, she could not even dare to move.

Smooching on her other cheek Nick spoke in his husky voice, "I will miss you, my. Please don't keep me waiting, I hate waiting. I think you can understand, if you keep me waiting I will have to stalk you again in your words."

As he turned over she blinked her eyes. The elevator door opened when she thought he was about to leave and she would let out a sigh of relief but he stopped and before walking out of the elevator he spoke, "If you fail to give me any solid reason in these three days then nobody can stop me from marrying you. You are… Mine." And he walked out.

Sanaya stroked both her cheeks with both of her hands. Sniffing heavily she mumbled, "What a psycho! I can never marry this psycho. What did he say? Three days only? Huh! I better leave this country than marrying him. He seems totally psycho. Why would I be his? Oh my goodness! I am only mine, you crazy man!"

Strolling out of the elevator she phoned Clara immediately, "Hello! Clara." Then she started saying everything that happened in the elevator to Clara at a high speed without seizing a breath. As she finished she started puffing for air.

"Calm down, first. Sanaya, take a deep breath ok? Let me understand it. Ok, so he gave you three days only to prove that you really can not marry him. It means we still have three days, we can do anything in our effort to stop your wedding." Clara explained.

"What three days! Who is he to decide it huh? I told him I don't want to marry him. You say, how can a guy be so shameless that even after getting rejected again and again he keeps stalking the girl? Seriously, I am so pissed off." Sanaya was shuffling towards her desk. Suddenly seeing Kyle she stopped when Clara was talking. As she did not hear anything back from Sanaya she said, "Are you there? Are you listening?"

"Mr. Kyle…" Sanaya mumbled. Clara suddenly thought of something, she declared with excitement from the other side of the call. "Hey! Maybe we should try him. Maybe he can be of some help."

"Try him? What do you mean? Should I ma-marry him?" Sanaya let out a bit loudly that made her colleagues stare at her. Sanaya grinned sheepishly and lowering her voice she questioned, "What are you saying, Clara?"

"I am not telling you to marry him. I am saying maybe he can help us. He is his secretary, right? So he might know everything about his boss."

"Right. Wait, he… he is leaving. I will call you later, bye." Hanging up Sanaya waddled towards Kyle and called him from behind.

As Kyle turned towards her he said, "Yes? Miss Sanaya. What can I do for you?"

"Can we talk somewhere else? I have something to talk to you about."

"Somewhere else? Ahh, ok." He nodded. Sanaya felt happy as if she almost touched her goal. She thought through Kyle she could get away from Nick.

As Kyle's cell phone rang he looked at the phone screen and announced, "Sorry. I have some urgent matters now so can we do it later?"

"Yeah sure. Tell me when it is possible." Hearing Sanaya, Kyle nodded his head and walked away.

Sanaya went to her desk. Sitting on the desk she first started searching on Google. "What excuses can I give to stop this psycho from marrying me? God, help me." She mumbled but then she got loads of files to work on that made her stop searching.

"What problem have I got myself into? Who knew that the handsome man who saved me would turn into such a psycho? Judging by my situation I am not even sure if I will be able to save myself from such a psycho man. O God, what is written in my fate? Whatever it is, don't let me get married to Nicolas. He is insane." Sanaya kept hitting her pen on her desk continuously when she heard someone's voice she stopped.

Looking up she saw Kyle.

Going to the cafeteria Kyle sat exactly opposite of her. "What did you want to talk about?" As he asked, taking a bite from his plate, Sanaya stopped playing with the spoon on her plate.

She looked at him and said, "I need you to help me so Mr. Nick will stop trying to marry me."

As he heard him he almost choked on his food. Grabbing the glass on the table by his side he drank the water of the glass in one go.

"You… you want me to… to help you with what?" He asked her, startling.

"Help me to stop getting married to your Boss." She replied.

"You really don't wanna… I mean you don't want to marry him?" As he asked, Sanaya answered, "No, I don't. I have tried my best but he is hell-bent to marry me. So I hope you can help me as you know him very well."

"O, God! How innocent she is! Does she know that boss is actually listening to whatever she is saying right now? Even though I want to, I can not do anything about it. I can not help her but do only what my boss has ordered me to do." Kyle said to himself….. He looked towards a CCTV camera near him, as if he could see two familiar eyes to look at him and warn him not to make even a single mistake…

Looking at Sanaya Kyle tried clearing his throat when Sanaya said, "Are you okay? Mr. Kyle."

"I am ok." He replied then he announced, "Ok. I will try my… my best to help you." Sanaya smiled thinking she was going to have a helping hand, it would be much better than working all alone.
