Restless

---LOUIS---

My pleas didn't work. It had turned out the opposite. I had summoned both of them. My friend and Joseph just passed by, and when they were about to say something to me, Sasha's representative passed by me to go with her.

- Where were you? Do you know how worried I was that I lost you? - It felt strange to hear him talk to her. They seemed to be very close.

-I'm sorry, it's just that some things happened, besides you left without me. - Sasha seemed to be in trouble.

-Sir, did you send it for me? - Said, Jonathan. He was my friend and the personal doctor of my company and my family.

-Check her. She hurt her foot a few minutes ago. - I said to prevent her from leaving without checking herself first.

- Are you all right? Please forgive me, honey. I shouldn't have left you behind. - When that man said that to her, it upset me, but I tried not to make a big deal out of it. Who was I to get angry?

-I'm fine, don't worry. - Sasha looked at me, and I could only see the disbelief on her face, which only increased that annoying feeling.

While Jonathan checked his foot, my gaze was focused on the two of them still holding hands. My sister started asking questions that almost led me to pull everyone out of my office. It frustrated me that they were talking as if nothing was going on or they had nothing else to do. My mind kept spinning on how I should send them away until the doctor's voice brought me back to reality.

-It will be fine after a couple of days of rest. It's nothing serious. If you move your foot too much, it will hurt and get worse. - When I finished checking him and telling him his instructions, Jonathan gathered his things. Before he left, he gave me a mocking look, the same look my brothers and Sebastian were giving me.

- So you will be resting? Mateo looked at the bandage. -I think you'd better stay with me while you recover. I'll cook for you and take care of you. -Did I listen well? Had the manager offered his house? Why would she stay with him? Did they have another kind of relationship? I didn't care about anything anymore. I just wanted everyone out of my sight.

- You never liked her? - When I heard my sister's question, I felt a little anxious. I just listened to the conversation, trying not to show my interest in the answer.

-Hahaha. Well, I'd be lying if I told you I didn't like it. Hahaha, don't you remember when I confessed my feelings to you on my birthday, but you told me that you loved me too and that I would be forever your best friend? -

- Did I do that? I just thought you told me you loved me because I gave you the gift you wanted so much. I never imagined you meant anything else. -

-I know, but even if you had understood that you would have rejected me. But after all, I am grateful for being part of your life. I now understood that our friendship was the best thing that could have happened to me and that we had no future as a couple. - Seeing her nod, I felt better. It was confirmed. They were just friends.

-Don't tell me you are. - Apparently, my sister had finally left her gossipy side, and the topic of conversation would change.

-She is the author of the books you like. As you already know who she is. I must tell you that she only signed the contract with the condition of hiding her identity, so you can't say anything about this. - I said to prevent her from divulging things about her work that were none of her business.

- Do I only like her books? It is you who has his books collected in your room in a special section for them. Aren't you the number one fan? - As soon as I finished saying that I wanted to fly her back to Spain for another three years.

-Sorry for asking until now, but who are you? -

- Me? Indeed, I didn't introduce myself. How rude of me. I am Isabella, Louis and Joseph's sister.-

My sister greeted him properly this time. After Sasha's manager also showed up. My friend offered the others to sit down and talk more. I guess he forgot that we had another meeting coming up, but I still sat down where he indicated.

-I appreciate your hospitality, but I think it's time for me to leave. - It seemed to me that Sasha was also busy.

-It will only be a while, besides you can't move much, rest for a few minutes, and then we'll go. - Mateo sat next to me, which I didn't like very much. Once she sat down, everyone started to talk, they all got along well.

I watched as she stood up and signalled us that she had to answer her phone. The others continued as if nothing was wrong. But after a few moments, I realized that something was not right. She suddenly went to get Mateo and told him they needed to leave. When I heard about the police, I knew it wasn't good whatever had happened. My brother offered his help, but they refused. They finished saying goodbye they left.

I felt a little uneasy, so I walked quickly to catch up with them, but the elevator had already closed its doors. I ran to the stairs and ran down them. I thought I would not reach them. I saw Sasha walking along the edge of the street. I ran some more and stopped her before she got into the car.

- Do you want me to help you? - I said as I tried to keep my voice from giving away the fact that I ran up to them from the tenth floor. She just shook her head. I felt helpless that I couldn't help her, but I still didn't give up and gave her my card with my phone number on it.

-Call me if you need anything. Whatever the time, I'll be with you in less than 5 minutes. -

-Thank you. - Her voice sounded sad and anxious. I helped her into the car and buckled her seat belt.

-Call me once you get there. - As I turned to face Sasha, I realized how close we were.

-I will. - When I finished saying that, I quickly stood up and watched the carriage speed away.
