Two weeks later, Carl looked up worried.
She hasn't heard from Dylan for two weeks now which made her bordered so she decided to go visit Dylan at home without him knowing as he hasn't been picking up his call.
"I will do that." She said. "I hope nothing is wrong with him.
She got up from her bed and walked down.
" Good morning Miss." Melinda greeted.
" Oh, good morning Melinda. " Carl said.
Melinda looked at Carl's face and noticed that she is worried.
" You look worried, Miss." Melinda said and Carl smiled.
"It's nothing." Carl said and went to sit on the couch.
"Alright Miss." Melinda said and was about to walk away.
"Where is Kamela?" Carl asked.
"I saw her making some cake but she should be done now." Melinda said and Kamela walked out with a tray which contained a cup of tea and a cake.
"I am here, Miss." Kamela said.
Carl took the cake in the tray when Kamela dropped it.
Kamela couldn't help but notice the worry in Carl's face.
"You look worried, Miss." Kamela said and Carl smiled.
"It's nothing." Carl said.
Kamela walked to sit next to Carl and smiled.
"There is definitely a reason." She said.
After much contemplation, Carl decided to let the reason for her worry out.
"It's about Dylan." She said. "I haven't seen him for weeks now."
Kamela looked at her and sighed.
"You should go check on him." Kamela said.
"That's what I am thinking to do." Carl said.
Kamela and Melinda looked at each other.
"Yes Miss, that's right." Melinda said and smiled.
"Thank you for showing your care." Carl said and they both smiled.
Carl continued eating the cake and drank the tea.
"Alright, I should be going." She said and walked out of the house.
She walked into her car and drove to the fashion house.
"I should try calling him once again." She said to herself while driving.
She got to the fashion house and pack her car. She got off the car and saw a person with a microphone standing close to the fashion house with a person holding a camera and another holding a video recorder.
" What are you doing here?" She asked walking up to them and Dan walked to her.
"Good morning, Miss." Dan said greeting her.
"Good morning, Dan. Why are they here?" She asked.
"They would like to ask you a question." He said.
"What type of question?" Carl asked but Dan shook his head.
"I have no idea." He said and Carl nodded.
"Good morning, Miss." The lady with a microphone said.
"Good morning." Carl said.
"We just want to know your opinion on a thing. We won't take your time." The lady said and Carl nodded.
"Alright, you may go on." Carl said.
"Alright Miss. Your response to the first question would lead to the second question." The lady said and Carl nodded.
"Alright." Carl said.
"What would you do if the love of your life decides to desert you some weeks to your marriage?" The lady asked reading from a paper.
Carl smiled on hearing the question and shook her head.
"My love can't do that to me." She said and the lady smiled.
"Alright, but you haven't answered my question, Miss." The lady said.
"Depends on his reasons." Carl said.
"Alright, what if he loves another person and just used you then elopes with the one he loves few weeks to your marriage?" The lady asked.
"I will leave him once I get to know." She answered.
The lady looked at the camera then back at Carl.
"I know it would be painful." She said and Carl smiled.
"Yes it would be to whosoever it happens to." Carl said.
"Would you be able to fall in love again after that?" The lady asked and Carl smiled.
"I won't ever do that again but I know others can." Carl replied.
"Alright Miss. May I ask for your reason." The lady said and Carl smiled.
"I have promised myself to marry my first love like my parents did." She said.
"Would you ever forgive him if he come back to you?" The lady asked and Carl smiled.
"To forgive is divine but I can't accept him back to my life." Carl said.
"You will choose to be single forever?" The lady asked and Carl nodded.
"Yes I choose that rather than being a fool." She said.
"Alright Miss. Thank you for your time." The lady said and bent down.
She brought up a present and gave to Carl.
"This is our present." She said and Carl collected it.
"Thank you." The lady looked at Clara who was standing by the entrance of the fashion house and nodded.
Clara smiled and went inside. She picked her phone and messaged the lady telling her to release the video in two months time.
She walked to her office.
Carl walked into her office and brought out her phone. She dialed Dylan's number but he wasn't picking.
"What has happened to my Dylan?" She asked herself.
She remembered all what the lady was asking her.
"Can it be Dylan she meant?" Carl asked herself but later shook her head.
"No, it can't be Dylan. He knows he means the world to me and can't let my world come crashing down." Carl said to herself.
She heard a knock on her door and told whosoever it was to come in.
Sarah walked into her office and sat.
Carl looked at her and wondered if Sarah had planned all that and made her fall in love with Dylan.
" No, that can't be. Dylan loves me." She thinks within herself.
"Good morning, Miss." Sarah said but Carl did not answer as she continued thinking.
"Dylan can't even leave me if Sarah was his first love." She said within herself.
"Good morning, Miss." Sarah said loudly interrupting her thoughts.
"I would relief you of your job soon as I hate your attitude." Carl said out of rage making Sarah shocked.
"Miss!" Sarah called and Carl cleared her face.
"I never meant to say that. Get out." She said.
"Miss!" Sarah called.
"Get out." Carl said and Sarah walked out of the office.
Carl bowed her head down as she began to think.
Minutes later, Naomi entered her office.
"Good morning, Miss." She greeted and Carl looked at her.
"Good morning." Carl said.
"I sent Sarah to give you this but she told me that you sent her out." Naomi said.
"Because she can't do her work." Carl said.
She collected the book from Naomi and did the necessary thing.
.....
At the end of the day, Carl got out of her house and locked the door.
"I am going to pay him a surprise visit since I think he wants me to." She said to herself and walked out of the house and walked to her car after locking the door.
She drove to the house which she had brought for Dylan and entered through the gate which opened for her as she had used her car as an additional pass code for the house.
She drove into the house and got down smiling.
She walked to the door side and was about ringing the bell on the door when she saw a button by the side of the door and smiled.
"He has added a new feature to the house." She said smiling. "I should try it out."
She pressed on the button and was surprised when it called out her name.
"Wow, I love this feature." She said smiling but what she heard after that changed her mood.
"Carl Robin, I am grateful for all you have done but you can't have your way in everything. I loved you but you chose to use me which you can't as I can't be used." She heard Dylan's wavoice say. "I have found my true love which is Sarah, a worker of yours. You can only do me a favor by not relieving her of her job. Do not look for me again."
Tears flowed Carl's face as she heard it. She remembered what took place in the morning in front of her fashion house.
" It was all planned by Sarah and she took him from me. " Carl wallowed in her pain as she walked into her car.
Getting into her car, she bent her head.
"I choose not to ever fall in love ever again." She said to herself as she drove out. "I won't abide by your wish, I surely will relieve Sarah of her job. We are done."
.....
Clara who stood up watching every thing that was going on sighed holding a cup of drink.
"I am sorry, Sarah for involving you in all of this but I can't let Dylan go scot free. I know I am going to hurt both you and Carl but I just want Dylan away." She said and turned to go down. "This house is really beautiful."
She walked down to Dylan and hugged him giving him a peck on the cheek.
"I should get going." She said and Dylan nodded.
"Alright, I am going to see you tomorrow." Dylan said and walked her to the door.
She waved Dylan and sighed seeing Dylan go back into the house.
She smiled looking at the button which she kept beside the door.
"This did a great job." She said smiling to herself when she remembered how she made Dylan say all the things Carl listened to.
