Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge

Chapter 85 - Capable

Chapter 85 - Capable

Aarna worried for her friend forgot herself and held on to his hand. The man beside her smiled, he had thought she would blame him for not keeping in touch as they used to. He had always known her kind heart and it had always filled his own with light. He held her close to comfort her further, "Don't worry I'm sure April will be okay."

Aarna nodded into his chest but kept her eyes on the door, anxiously waiting.

Meanwhile, Dean approached the door and tried the handle. Dammit, he cursed inwardly, it was indeed locked. From the moment he heard that she may be in danger his heart and mind couldn't settle until he saw her standing in front of him. He had taken his friends Ferrari and ran through every red light to get here as quickly as possible. He didn't care for road rules at that moment all he cared about was getting here.

He was angry at himself and also at April. Why would she go? It was clearly not an ordinary meeting. Walker Interiors had a policy that staff would only meet clients in their office or along with another colleague they could meet at the job site. They never met clients at restaurants it was against company policy and it wasn't safe.

After trying the door he lifted his foot and with one swift kick it buckled and swung open. He instantly smelt a faint hint of sweet incense it was a knock out drug. His anger rose, he scanned the room and didn't see anyone. He turned to Aarna for answers.

Aarna answered him quickly, "No one has come out, and I guarded the door."

"Fu*ck." Dean cursed. He walked forward checking the room.

April stood up and saw all three faces snap in her direction, "You're all here? Let's get lunch I'm starved."

Dean quickly walked around the sofa rushing to her but before he could get to her he heard a muffled noise and glanced down. What he saw left him both impressed and livid. Just in front of his feet was his own Director of Finance hogtied with rope.?His mouth was open in shock at the scene before him. Did April tie him up? Did he manage to touch his angel?

Earlier in the same room, once April had had enough, she had had enough. The man in front of her was filth and needed to be taught a lesson. So when he had reached for her she gripped his arm and twisted it, he let out a scream and she quickly got a rope out of her bag and tied him up. It was surprisingly easy as the man didn't expect her to be so capable. Clearly, the other girls hadn't been as lucky as she was.

Now the man was securely tied she put her foot in his back and he screamed out again, "Get off me you b*tch! Wait till I get free and see what I will do with you."

April rolled her eyes she knew she would get nothing further from him, she was prepared so she got out a roll of tape from her bag and secured his mouth. She honestly didn't want to hear the man speak again. Just as she finished securing his mouth with tape the door banged open. April hid not knowing if it was Sophie or Aarna.

But she soon heard Aarna and then Dean's voice, she smiled and stood up proudly. Once she saw their worry and confusion she felt guilty for causing them any hassle. She couldn't tell if Dean was angry at her or at the situation. She presumed both.

She held her hands and rubbed them as she felt insecure. In the past, she would be blamed and scolded if she did anything even if it was the right thing to do.

Seeing her insecurities written all over her face Dean walked over the overweight Directors body and held her in a tight hug. Yes, she was reckless and it had worried him immensely but she was standing in front of him unhurt and he didn't want her to show the face she had. He wanted her to smile always.

Thinking this he whispered beside her ear, "You scared me. In future please don't act alone. I am your life partner and I will follow any scheme or adventure you want to go on."

"I am sorry," April whispered. She clung to his shirt and his cologne filled her senses replacing the stench of the old director. Dean gave her comfort and security, maybe she shouldn't act alone from now on?

"Cough cough!"

Dean and April released each other, but Dean continued to hold her waist to his side.

Before Dean and April was another couple embracing. April was confused but didn't ask.

Dean spoke first, "I'll get my Oliver to sort this." Dean then took out his phone, dialling Oliver's number. Once he answered he gave him instructions to pick up the Director of Finance and take him back to the office. Dean hung up and he held April as he escorted her out of the room.

April glanced around and saw two female heads then they quickly dodged and ran away. She instantly recognised both of them, she smiled in return. Fine if they wanted to play this game so could she.

Outside the room, the two pairs exchanged glances and April opened her mouth first breaking the awkward silence, "Lunch?"

Dean laughed, "Sure let's go."

"Are you both coming?" April asked as she looked at the other two who seemed to be lost in thought.

Aarna looked up and saw him nod so she smiled and replied, "Yes we will both go with you."

April and Dean started to walk out together when she remembered something, "Wait are you Casper?"

Aarna's face became red at April's remark, she looked away and didn't respond but by then April then had worked it out. She was happy for her friend.

Zane turned to look at Aarna his eyebrows raised and smirk on his face as he questioned her, "Casper? That's a new nickname."
