"Good morning Miss Reagan," Jefferson smiled and immediately stated his purpose of visit,
"Building security said that you didn't come home last night and there was a man who came searching for you,"
"Who?" She arched a brow at his statement.
"A man? Who is searching for her?"
"Oh that was me," Noah said meddled into their conversation, "You suddenly went missing last night and I came searching for you,"
"Huh?" Sasha and Jefferson looked at him with a perplexed look on their faces
"You don't remember anything?" He looked at the woman who appeared confused, "Sasha you were dead drop drunk last night," Noah smirked and turned towards Jefferson,
"She went home drunk, that's why I came here to check whether she reached or not,"
"Oh then sorry to disturb you, miss Reagan," Jefferson apologized, "You never had any visitors..so Parker was being extra careful when suddenly someone came looking for you,"
"It's alright, sir. Thank you for checking on me,"
"It is part of our duty, no need to mention. Anyway, I am glad that you returned safely," He affirmed her with a smile,
"I will get going then, have a good day miss,"
"You too, Mr Jefferson," Sasha send him away and closed the door with a sigh of relief,
"It seems like your building people take the security of the residents too seriously," Noah shared his view based on his own experience,
"Last night, they didn't allow me to enter the compound quoting that unauthorized entries are not permitted after ten pm,"
"You came here last night...searching for me because I went missing from the party?" Sasha carefully chose her words to probe the truth,
"Yes, someone spoiled your dress during the party and I took you to a room to clean it. But instead of cleaning, you cried under the shower and came out drenched. So I went looking for my sister to get you some change of clothes. Once I returned with Lia, you were nowhere to see. So we searched the entire mansion and couldn't find you," Noah gave her a brief description of what happened last night,
"Sasha, where did you go last night?"
Sasha looked at him, unable to comprehend the words which she just heard,
Last night, she stayed at the storm wood mansion and returned to her penthouse only this morning.
Why is he saying that she went missing and he was looking for her...even came to her home searching for her?
Since she could only remember Noah from the party night, Sasha was forced to believe that he was the man with who she spent the night. But from his words, it is evident that it wasn't him.
"You are Noah Stevens...Dr Lia's brother?" Sasha asked in a startled voice,
"You don't remember me?" He sounded sulky,
"I do...I am just trying to recall whatever happened last night,"
"Oh yes, I am Noah...I am the one who-"
"Were there any other men whom I interacted with last night? Someone from your family?"
"My family...No..no..you did talk to some men...but," Noah suddenly halted his words and looked at her in a tinge of worry, "Did something wrong happen last night? Where were you? Did someone-"
He couldn't force himself to speak out the words which fogging his mind,
Sasha was drunk last night, with her drunken state it was easy to take advantage of her. He did everything to protect her from the men who approached her, but did something happens to Sasha while he was away?
However, Sasha's thoughts were slightly different from Noah's assumptions.
She was relieved and equally horrified by the fact that she didn't sleep with Noah.
If it is not him, then who?
Sasha's thoughts were broken by the door bell,
"I am sure, this time it will be your food," Noah assured her and went to open the door.
He was right, it was indeed his butler who came with home cooked food and medicines to cure the hangover.
"We can talk after you eat something," Noah told her as he began to serve the food like a faithful butler,
There was chicken noodle soup, different types of veggies and even fruits,
"Did you had your lunch?" Sasha asked Noah who sat opposite her after arranging the dishes for her.
"I had, someone, advised me to not to skip meals and drink lots of water so that I don't die alone," He replied with a playful smile, "But I never knew that the person who advises about leading a healthy life, skips meals to avoid creepy men,"
Sasha wished to dig a hole right over there and vanish from his mockery.
Since she was taking medicines, it was necessary for Sasha to follow a healthy diet to maintain her well being. However, when her antisocial habit kicks in she uses some harmless lies to avoid the unwanted company.
"How far did I overshare? Sasha asked him as she realized that there are chances of her being a blabbering baboon after drinking.
"Nothing much...You told me that you are my sister's patient and give a twenty-minute lecture over what is the importance of drinking water," Noah didn't lose any of his chances to tease her, "Ahhh...and your toxic boyfriend who always tries to murder you,"
"I am sorry,"
"There is no need to say sorry...I have listened to even worse drunken stories and compared to them yours was better. But you almost made believe about your boyfriend," Noah confessed the truth.
He was known as a playboy, but he never played with anyone's emotions neither did he hurt any of his so-called girl friends. But the moment Sasha broke down before him while whining about her toxic relationship, he pitied her for falling into a trap.
For some reasons, her tears evoked pain inside him and automatically made him think that he should save and protect her.
"Do you like me?" Sasha asked out of sudden, startling Noah who was gazing at her with doting eyes.
