Sara was confused. Because she had no clue about the new clients whatsoever and she checked his schedule and nothing as lunch related to business was mentioned either. From where did this plan come from?? May be because of her being absent, there were somethings that went missing in his schedule. She should have a look at why this mishap occurred once the lunch is over. She reassured herself and nodded with affirmative expression.
Sara went to grand imperial hotel which was also under Mu Tiang's subsidiary. Mu Tiang Like a gentleman stepped out of his side of the car and opened the other side of the door to receive Sara's hand. He escorted Sara to the hall where all the round tables were already filled with many well dressed man and women. Most of them looked familiar. Sara was stunned to see her colleagues also on some of the tables. When both of them reached to the middle of the hall, Mu Tiang left her hand and moved two steps far away from her. Out of no where red rose petals started to fall on her and there was a uproar of clapping. A band started to play melodies 'Happy Birthday' song. Sara was still in daze while everybody including Mu Tiang came closer to wish her.
Her Birthday went with unexpected people around her after so many years. She was over whelmed. Her eyes looked at Mu Tiang with a expression of 'thank you '. Her heart was fluttering with joy. Sara never celebrated her Birthday after she lost her memory. After a while every one finished their greetings and Sara was sitting on a chair that was next to Mu Tiang on one side while her other Friends who were also secretaries to Mu Tiang on the other side.
" You see I care for my employees who work hard like you. " Mu Tiang spoke to her while sipping his champagne.
" Mu Tiang... Thank you" the words came out of her mouth which made him choke on his champagne. It was first time his name felt good to listen from her. It sounded like a bullet of hearts piercing through his heart.
"Can you call my name again instead of Thankyou??" Mu Tiang gulped with wonder in his eyes. His eyes had twinkle.
"haha.. Ok... Mu Tiang... Mu Tiang..." Sara mocked him as he ruined the moment.
He could just face palm and eat his shrimp with annoyed mind. 'She is Savage' he thought...
Soon the lunch was finished and everybody started to leave to their respective work and places. After bidding 'goodbye' to everyone Mu Tiang and Sara went back to his office to resume their work.
Couple of days went by when Mu Tiang and Sara become a close to each other, maintaining their boundaries. Whenever Mu Tiang tried to flirt with her, she replied with most savage comebacks ever.
To Other people in the office it looked like 'Cat and mouse' chase. But never they suspected them with any affair because Mu Tiang had made himself look like a saint since Sara joined. However everybody in the building knew that Sara was the one who could influence him to an extent where he had no more girlfriends or scandals lurking around. Some even thought that they both are like 'SISTER AND BROTHER' in office.
{writer's thought: You Guys are fool.}
Mu Tiang was about to leave the office when he got a call from Sara. He was a bit surprised to see her call at this time and he picked the call with somewhat fear in his heart that was creeping inside. He did not know why but something felt 'not right'
"Sara???"
"eehhh Tiang??...hh...hhh.." Sara's voice was inaudible but one could know that she was panting.
"What happened? are you alright??" Mu Tiang asked her with full of concern. His brows knitted together.
"Can y..you pick me up..??" she was hesitant to ask but she pulled herself to do so.
"Is everything alright?? do not cut the call. Am on my way.. Talk to me.. Where are you" Mu Tiang felt something really bad happening. So he wanted her to stay on call until he is there.
"Hh... I am at this ally... near Y area.. please come fast.. hhh.. ehhh.." Sara was broken into tears and started to cry. Her sobbing made Mu Tiang's heart clench. He started his car and rushed out of the vicinity.
Mu Tiang reached the ally and he was still on call with Sara. He came out of his car and searched 360 degree but could not see anyone in that place. Suddenly Sara jumped out of a old wooden box that was in the dark of that ally where street lights were not reaching. She ran to him and hugged him tight.
"Take me from here.. please.. t.. take me away from here.. Tiang..." Her plead was echoing the place and Tiang felt like his heart was about to explode with sadness. Without any delay he opened the passenger side door and helped her get in the car. He stamped on the accelerator with full thrust and drove his car away from that place. Along the way he did not speak anything. Sara cried her heart out and slowly the silence was conquering the car. He took her to his villa and escorted her to the dining table where he placed a glass of water in front of her and looked at her with full of sympathy. Sara's eyes were swollen red due to crying.
"I am sorry..." Sara's first words after the call ended. Mu Tiang just patted her head and said "can you tell me what happened?" His eye were showing concern but his voice sounded very angry.
"I was going home from office when my car stopped all of a sudden. There was a garage closer by so I called them to pick my car. They told that it's just ten mins job so I though it wont be harmful to be there when they are fixing it. I went with them to the mechanic garage. I don't know what happened but suddenly 4 guys who were in that garage started to come closer to me. They spoke vulgar and tried to touch me. I just kicked on of them and ran from that place. I dint know how far I ran but I could feel them running right behind me.. So I just hid in that box and called you.. I couldn't process anything. The first person I could think of was you.." Sara explained everything only to see him panting with anger. She dint not know if he was angry with her or not.
"I..." Before Sara could continue Mu Tiang stopped her. "Why don't you take rest and we will talk about it tomorrow??" Within a instant he became cold and said it with a stern voice.
