Chapter 25: Locker

Hearing his plain confession so fast, Nora got nothing more to say. "So what next?"

"All we need to show is your father's will in court. With that we have got those contract papers on your name too. In front of our document those things will be baseless."

"That's it?" Nora's eyes scruinted doubtfully.

How can the matters of Last Will be solved this easily and fast? Impossible.

Karan coughed lightly and hid his embarrassment. Looking away from her, he answered. "Our lawyer is fully prepared with other documents. All we need from you is just those two documents."

Nora dubiously looked at him but his words were convincing too. With a nod she agreed. "Okay. Bring me the locker. If only those two things are important, then I can go back by tomorrow evening."

Karan's bows frowned but he said nothing and looked at Carter for the answer of her words.

Carter apologetically affirmed his doubts with his eyes.

Karan started getting a headache. Massaging his forehead he took a pause of five seconds before saying. "We can't bring it here."

"Why?"

"Because it has been set down to your dad's study room."

"... What? When did that happen?" Nora frowned.

'This morning.' Carter almost blurted out. The moment Nora decided not to visit her mansion, Karan asked the workers to shift the locker at the mansion.

If Nora had decided to stay at home, they would have put the locker directly in Naitik Steve's office. Their only intention was to bring her where she didn't want to go. To open her heart.

Getting up from the couch he went to his desk while explaining. "For safety purposes without letting anyone know about it, we shifted that locker from the office to your dad's study room at home."

Rahul has done all the investigation by sending his people in her house discreetly. Karan and Nora both knew about that.

In fact, they wanted it to happen and that's why Karan only shifted Locker's place once the investigation was done yesterday.

Nora sighed exhaustingly but understood his reasons too. Keeping all the papers back into the folder she spoke. "Okay, then bring the locker back here, I'll open it."

"No, we can't."

"Why?" Nora asked immediately.

"Because the locker was installed long ago. It can't be removed now or else we have to break the wall." When the locker was installed, there was already a place for it to keep. There was no need to break anything much. So what he said was somehow true too but mostly a big lie. However he did his best with the finishing work too.

"So?" She looked at him with an unsettled mind. She knew what was coming for her and she is definitely against that.

"So what? You want us to break the wall?"

"..."

"There is no need to go roundabout, Mr. Gill." Carter commented.

"Then it's simple. She has to go back to her mansion and fetch those papers herself. In this, we really can't help. If she wants, I can accompany-"

"Break the wall."

Before Karan could complete his words Nora spoke, interrupting him in between with a loud and stern voice.

"You said what?"

"How can you?" Both Carter and Karan asked together.

One was angry and the other was surprised to hear that. Carter by now was used to her indifferent nature towards her parents.

He knows that Nora doesn't like to talk about her parents a lot. But still this indifference towards your own house?

Whereas Karan was shocked to see Nora being this impolite with her words and willful act. The way she said those words were very discourteous. And he highly disagreed with that.

"Mr. Gill. I am not going anywhere. If you want those documents then please bring me the locker."

"If you didn't hear me the first time, then I'll repeat it one more time. We will have to damage the whole wall for that."

"It doesn't matter to me."

"Nora!" Karan loudly called her name.

He was disappointed by her. No matter what her reasons are or with what identity she carries, he wouldn't allow anyone or even her to do that.

Nora got scared by his yell. Her fist tightened with uneasiness. All these years she was accountable to no one for her actions.

But now seeing Karan in front of her, she was scared. Because she can sense her answerability towards him. She almost forgot that still there is someone who has the right to yell at her.

Pursing her lips she looked away. Carter's eyes widened with his voice too.

He had never seen Karan yelling at Nora before. In fact, till now, he had never seen anyone yelling at Nora. He instantly wanted to check on Nora. However, he didn't want to make it look like a bigger deal.

He was about to say something when Nora stood up. "If there is nothing else, I'll go back."

Saying that she walked forward.

"Tomorrow you have to fetch those papers."

Nora's footsteps stopped. Without looking back she denied again with firmness.

"I think I wasn't clear enough. But Mr. Gill, my point will stay the same no matter how many times I say it. I am not going back there. If you need those documents, bring the locker here."

Holding the door knob she slightly turned back and informed Carter. "I have got something to do. I'll leave first. You can stay."

Without waiting for anyone's reply, she left the room. Once she left, the room got all quiet. Neither Karan spoke for next five minutes nor Carter got anything to say.
