Episode 2
Isla Johnson
So....who will drop me?
I ask excitedly after breakfast while Caroline picks up the dirty dishes and second brother helps her.
Elder brother looks at Caroline.
Being brother's assistant, she has to reach earlier than him. Although, they work together, they behave as if they don't know who snorts louder.
But, being strictly professional has always come in handy. No one has ever spoken against them. Everyone has believed that Caroline's promotion is based on her performance and not her connections. She is a very hardworking woman. She inspires me.
Before elder brother could complete his sentence, Noah jumps on me, grabbing me tightly around the shoulders.
Noah Scott
What am I here for?
Noah Scott
Baby, your personal chauffeur is here.
Noah actions forwarding his hand towards the gate while giving his wonderful smile.
How can anyone refuse him?
I look at others and they nod.
We all start to leave for our destinations.
Brothers always wait for at least 15 minutes so as to reach later than Caroline.
In the mean time, they hugged me giving the warmth I needed for my first day and Noah drove off.
Noah dropped me exactly at 9 a.m.
I hurry towards the supervisor's office.
At 5 p.m. everybody starts to leave, except for the interns.
My phone vibrates. It was second brother.
Evan Johnson
📲 Baby, are you done with work?
Isla Johnson
📲 No, second brother, today is my first day and I have to complete reading the research reports of the topic I am assigned.
Evan Johnson
📲 Can't you do it at home?
Evan Johnson
📲 Basically, a week's time is given for such things, if am not wrong?
He sounded worried. I smile. I answer him, more like convincing him.
Isla Johnson
📲 Second brother, don't worry, it won't take long. Also, we are not allowed to carry these reports home or anywhere else.
Isla Johnson
📲 As soon as I am done, I will call you, go home and freshen up, you must be tired.
Evan Johnson
📲 My baby is worried about me, look brother, she loves me more than she loves you.
Second brother teases elder brother while faking a cry. I chuckle, listening him.
Alex Johnson
📲 DON'T FOCUS ON THIS IDIOT. JUST DO YOUR WORK, BABY. I WILL PICK YOU UP LATER.
Elder brother shouts for me to hear him through the phone. I laugh lightly. I could already imagine second brother sulking and elder brother thinking, is he really my brother, or he was exchanged, while nodding his head.
I terminate the call and start to read the reports.
I do have a whole week's time, but I have over 50 reports, I need to at least complete 5 of them today. Hah!!! You can do it, I motivate myself and immerse myself in those research papers.
I yawn and stretch myself.
Isla Johnson
Finally, it's done.
Isla Johnson
Damn!! It's already 8.
I exit the building. The guard was on his way to ask me to leave.
I text my second brother to pick me up.
I hear a cat, more like a crying one.
I turn around to hear more clearly.
It's in the dark alley near the convenience store.
I cross the road walking towards the alley. It was silent, everyone has gotten off work. This area is particularly filled with laboratories, companies and university's departments.
I turn on the phone's torch, as I take my first step into that dark alley.
Found it. I think its leg is broken. I move towards the cat.
I pat its head and back assuring it that I won't hurt it.
Who?
I feel touched by your care.
I look around. A masked man was leaning on the wall few feet deep in the alley.
I feel nervous. I grab the little cat and stand up to run.
The very next moment, I am caged between the wall and him, how??
And the cat ran away, it was not injured??
I look into his emerald colored eyes and chills run down my spine.
Brother, please come fast!!!! I pray in my mind.
