Airport, country A
The fight had just landed Andrew quickly comes out the plane with Nancy following him. She was literally running to cope up with his pace.
"Aagh ...why this man is so energetic even at this hour of time, when he didn't even take a rest on the plane.." She complained under her breath.
When they reached the departure gate, they saw James, his designated driver in country A, waiting for them there.
"Welcome back Sir....". "Ms Nancy..."he greeted both while taking luggage from Nancy's hand and guided them towards the car, "...this way Sir..''
Andrew sits all alone at the back seat while Nancy accompany James at the front passenger seat. He immediately asked to James to drove as he tells him the destination, "..to the hotel James.."
"Yes Sir...." replied James as the black colour Mercedes-Benz AMG drive out of airport premises swiftly.
Andrew didn't say a single word after instructing James . He quickly check his phone for any update from Ron about Ariena. He was too worried for not able to get in touch with her before leaving.
His phone was flooded with the msg from Leora like; 'asking about his travel details', 'what he would want to eat', and other random stuffs. He sighed seeing her excitement. The numbers of messages she had send him shows her desperation clearly. But he didn't waste a second and click on the message send by Ron first.
His brows literally joined from frowning when he saw that message. He mused over the fact that Ariena's in FUMES, ''It's so late and she's still at FUMES, what with these friends of her's don't they have any sense of security'' ,as he checked the time Ron had send him message.
He unconsciously dialled Brann to check on her. He himself didn't have any idea why he was having this weird feeling that something bad had happened to her.
He was restless as his one leg started to shake and he started to tap on the seat with his other hand, while waiting for Brann to pick up. He mumbled under his breathe, "Ariena... You better be safe for me..."
With each passing seconds he was panicking, he almost jumped on his seat when he heard Brann voice from the other end , "Hello....Andrew..did you reached there safely."
.... ... ...
Brann and Stan were having a deep conversation over how to clean up all the mess of tonight without highlighting Ariena name in it. As a lot of influential onlookers were present there, when all these fighting took place.
"Do you think anyone would have recognized her there.." asked Stan seriously with a worried look.
"No , I don't think so, as Ariena remains quite low profile. It would have been hard to guess her identity in that casual office clothes..." Brann tried to reason out the possibility, but suddenly he frowned remembering Ariena dressing, "How can she wear such simple clothes while coming to FUMES, she really doesn't care about her status and title... "
Stan sighed seeing Brann all worked up over a nonsense matter instead of focusing on the main topic, "Brann.... really you are more concerned about the dressing, when there's already a lot bigger problem of her identity to be disclosed .."
Stan didn't want to waste his time on him any further so he turned the talk back to the main topic, "I hope you reason are correct but for safer side we should consult one of her female friends and ask them to help us if police report is done to be the main lead .."
"Oh you don't have to worry about police, because in that group of troublemakers one was COP Biden's kid. I'll handle it..." Brann quickly told him with a solemn face, "the main problem is gossipmongers... though I have tried to clear all the news about this incident but you never know..." he added with a defeated look.
They were absorbed in discussing all the probs and cons if Ariena name came forward, when suddenly Brann phone started ringing. He sighed seeing whose calling him that late in the night, he turned his phone to show Stan and asked, "Andrew is calling, what to do, should I tell him or not.. what's your advice.."
Stan immediately shakes his head in denial and said, "No we can't tell him now, it will only disturb his work there..... what's the point in telling him when he can do nothing at this time. Let's wait for his return then we can tell him... go ahead and answer his call before it's gets disconnect..."
Brann nodded his head to follow Stan words as he said in a relaxing tone, "Hello Andrew, what's up. Did you reach there safely..."
.... ... .....
"Brann, my flight was nice and I'm on my way to hotel..", Andrew answered Brann quickly as he jumped to the main part , "Brann, Ariena is in FUMES with her office friends can you please look over to her and confirm that she remains safe... "
"Oh Andrew you don't have to worry about that as I'm already her with Stan to be her personal bodyguard so you just focus on your deal ... haha... '' said Brann with a soft chuckle from the other side.
"Thanks brother, I can only trust on you two with her safety..." Andrew said as he relaxed his tensed nerves. Now he didn't have to worry about Ariena anymore as she is right now in the protection of most trustworthy persons in his life.
Suddenly a thought of to be able to hear her voice passed to his mind and he instantly asked in a concerning tone, " what's she is doing right now... see to it that she didn't get drunk ... you know she is a light drinker..."
"Andrew just relax man, Ariena is perfectly fine and currently enjoying dancing with her friends. Me and Stan are constantly keeping an eye on her... If you want one of us will personally drop her to the mansion... okay" came the crisp reply from the Brann.
Andrew sighed knowing that today he can't have a chance to talk to her, "okay stop your whinnying , you don't have to do so just see to it that she reaches mansion safely.... I've reached the hotel now so let's talk later... good night..."
James waited for a few minutes holding the car gate open, as Andrew keeps on staring at his phone for some time, before he decided to get out of the car and walk over to the hotel entrance.
.... .... ...
Brann release a sigh and slumped in the nearby couch as he turned to Stan and said with a tiring expressions, "Stan, I was really about to die if he didn't cut the line, I was close to give up to him, I knew that he wanted to have a word with her and if he had asked directly I don't know how to reject him... "
Stan was also thanking the God for making the call end soon. He stands up from his couch ignoring drama queen Brann as he takes a look at his Audemars Piquet watch and said, " It's getting really late, I've meetings in the morning so I'll be leaving first. I'll be dropping Ariena personally so you just arrange someone to send her car to the mansion.. bye and good night Brann..."
Stan immediately left FUMES with Ariena. He himself wants to make sure that she reaches the mansion safely that's why he personally preferred to drop her.
