The following week, Carl walked into her office tired. She had not gone to meet Dylan as she believed that would make her fall in love again.
Dylan on the other hand had been trying to call her but she was not picking his call up.
Carl sat on her chair with her head bowed as she thought of Dylan.
Minutes later, she heard a knock on the door and jumped up as she thought it could be Dylan.
"Can it be Dylan?" She asked and shook her head. "No, I shouldn't guess that."
She looked at the door.
"You may come in." She said and Naomi walked in.
Carl smiled seeing that it is Naomi.
"Good morning Miss." Naomi greeted.
"Good morning Naomi." Carl said.
"Miss, a client of ours said they saw Clara today." Naomi said and Carl smiled looking at her.
"And what has that gotten to do with me?" Carl asked.
"The client said she was telling the media some bad things about the fashion house.
Carl looked at Naomi and smiled. She pointed to a chair in front of her.
" You may have your sit. " Carl said to Naomi who pulled out the chair and had her sit.
"She smiled when Naomi was sitted.
" I do not care about the media. I do not care because they are none of my business. Moreover I have friends who can counter the media. " She said.
She discussed with Naomi about other things in the fashion house.
" You may take your leave." She said and Naomi nodded standing up and left her office.
Seeing that Naomi had left her office, she took a deep breath.
" I do not care what people may say as my life do not depend on them." She said and said picked up a book to read.
Minutes later, she heard a knock on her door.
She smiled looking at the door as she felt it was Naomi.
"You may come in." She said and Dylan walked in.
She smiled looking at the door but her smile faded away as she saw Dylan.
Dylan closed the door behind him and walked to Carl.
He got on his knees and folded his hands.
"I know you are still mad at me which you can be, but try in your heart to forgive me." He said and Carl shook her head.
"I am not mad at you. I have forgiven you." She said.
"But you don't pick up my calls." He said and Carl sighed.
"That's because I don't want to remember the love we both shared." She said.
"I know you are in love with me." Dylan said.
Carl looked at him as he knelt on the floor.
"You should get up. Your leg is going to hurt you." She said and held him up.
Dylan looked into her eyes likewise did she but noticing this, she looked away from him and took her hands off him.
"You should get going." She said.
Dylan smiled looking at how she stammered while telling him to get out.
"I love you Carl, I really love you. I didn't intend to cheat on you. I wasn't fine with Clara. I didn't have an intimate relationship like I had for you." Dylan said.
"You never love me. You made me a fool. I may have forgotten you but I can't give myself to love you." Carl said with tears on her face.
Dylan drew close to her and they had a passionate kiss together.
Noticing what was happening, Carl pushed Dylan away from her and slapped him.
"You may go to hell." She said. "I would never care to love you because I don't love you." Carl said and Dylan touched his cheek.
"You said I should go to hell." He said.
"Yes I just said that..." She was saying then stopped realizing what it meant.
"You shouldn't have saved me the last time. You should have allowed me jump, die and go to hell." He said and tears formed in Carl's eyes.
"No, I can't do that as I am human." She said. "I don't want you to go to hell."
"Why can't you let it out." Dylan said.
"What?" She asked.
" The truth that you still love me. " He said and Carl shook her head.
"I hate you." She shouted making Dylan smile.
"You just said that you have forgiven me." Dylan said and Carl raised her hands up.
"It's all because I am being confused." She said and pushed Dylan to the door of her office.
"I do not love you as before anymore." She said and opened her door.
She pushed him out of the office and closed her door.
She leaned on the door and smiled remembering the kiss they shared.
Realizing that she was smiling, she cleared her throat and walked to her chair.
" I can't allow his love anymore." She said to herself and began to laugh. "He is quite funny."
She looked at her watch and smiled.
Hours later, she got up and left the office. She looked around while locking the door.
"Dan's wife is pregnant." She said and walked outside.
Getting out of the fashion house, she was attacked by some mobs who tried to push her into their car.
Seeing this, Dylan who sat outside the fashion house because he wants to speak with her jumped up.
He couldn't fight with the mobs so he prayed that something will happen.
Suddenly the man holding the car key let the key to fall and Dylan slowly walked to pick it.
He walked to the driver's seat and watched as they pushed Carl into the car.
Immediately they pushed Carl into the car and shut the door, Dylan shut close all the doors and drove away.
He could only thank God their car is bullet proof and all the windows were up.
Carl looked back with surprise as she saw the kidnapper running to the car.
Dylan increased the speed of the car so that the fastest person could not reach the car.
"Who are you?" Carl asked but no reply. "You work for them right?"
She didn't get a reply to any of her questions and she became nervous. She looked at her hands which were not tied.
"I will strangle you." She said.
"Do no such thing unless we will be caught." Dylan said.
"Dylan!" Carl called recognizing his voice.
Dylan's plan was to drop Carl at her house then immediately drive to an abandoned place where he can leave the car since he knows that the car will be tracked down.
He increased his speed and few minutes later, he got to Carl's house.
He opened the door and told Carl to get down.
"Get down Carl." He said and she got down.
"You should also..." She was saying but he drove off.
He drove to a lonely place and put off the engine.
He walked out of the car, kept the key on the floor after locking it and slowly walking away.
He walked to the road and waved a vehicle down.
The vehicle took him to Carl's house. Carl was happy to see him.
"You are welcome, Dylan!" She said and called for food to be brought.
"Do not worry about that, Carl." He said then move closer to her and was about to kiss her when she took her face sideways.
"I am just happy that you helped me out there but you shouldn't take my happiness for granted." She said and Dylan nodded.
"Alright, let's be sitted." He said.
He told her everything he wanted to let her know.
"It's your right to either forgive me or not." He said and Carl sighed holding his hands.
"I have forgiven you but I can't love you again." She said.
"You've moved on." He said and she sighed.
"The truth is that it's hard to get you off my mind." She said.
"Which is because you love me." He said and Carl took her hands off him and got up.
She turned back to him.
"I never loved you. All I did at the office was just to fool you. I don't love you and I never loved you." She said.
Dylan smiled looking at her.
"You can lie to yourself but not me." He said. "If you are telling me the truth then it's best for you to say it to my face while looking at me." He said.
Carl turned to look at him but no word could come out of her mouth.
"I think we are done having this conversation." She said and walked up the stair.
Dylan waited for some minutes then left to his house.
Getting to the house, he walked to his father's bedroom.
"Father, I made a mistake but I am trying to rectify it. I hope she will accept me back into her life." Dylan said.
He walked to the kitchen and made himself some fish which he ate.
"I can't get you out of my mind, Carl. I wish you can only let go of the pain in your heart." He said.
