It's fine if you don't like me

I didn't think about it much because I knew it was impossible for someone like me to meet someone like him and not remember.

I decided to rest well before going back to his mansion in the evening. I saw a book on the side of the table and I decided to look at it but that didn't last as it had to do with medicine and the medical line. It was so boring I thought I was going to pass out all over again.

I kept yawning throughout the day. I was about to sleep when I heard my door open. I quickly looked at who it was and when I saw him, subconsciously, I smiled.

Jason opened the door expecting to see her sleeping but to his surprise, she was smiling at him. Her smile looked so beautiful that it made him wish she'd never stop.

He thought she smiled thinking it was someone else but to his surprise, she kept smiling even after knowing that it was him.

I couldn't help the smile that crept down my face when I saw him walk in. I don't know why, but I was very happy to see him. It's probably because I've been bored since morning and seeing someone just made me feel like I wasn't alone anymore. But seeing how he kept looking at me with no emotions at all, the smile immediately vanished from my face.

"Are you ready to leave"?

He asked and I simply nodded. I had already changed out of the hospital dress I was wearing earlier and a nurse already gave me my clothes to wear.

Soon enough, we got into the car and were on our way home. The drive was pretty quiet as he said nothing and so did I.

After we got to the mansion, I was about to get down when Jason held my hand, stopping me from leaving the car. I turned around to look at him but he wasn't looking at me at all. He just let his hand remain lying on mine.

"Is something the matter Sir"?

I asked a few seconds later after I began feeling uncomfortable. He then finally looked at me and said.

"I don't want you to be scared of me".

His eyes almost looked like they were pleading. He said this with his hands still on mine. I couldn't explain what I was feeling but I knew I could feel a shiver go down my spine and a tingling sensation in my stomach. I didn't know why I was feeling like this but I know he was the major reason.

"It's fine if you don't like me, but don't hate me".

He said again I was still looking at him but I just couldn't say anything. He then let go of my hand and said

"You may leave".

I bowed quickly and walked out of the car. I didn't know what just happened in there, but I knew that if I stayed there much longer, I might as well explode with emotions I've never felt before.

Jason watched as she walked away. He hoped that his few words would make a difference, even though he wasn't sure it would.

I was very hungry but I wanted to take a shower first so I rushed into my room. When I got there, I saw Kanada sitting on the couch. It looked like she was waiting for someone.

"Uhh, is everything o..."

Before I could finish my sentence, she rushed and hugged me. I was so surprised that my eyes opened so wide it looked like it would pop out.

"What is wrong"?

I asked as she kept hugging me. It sounded like she was crying.

"Are... you okay"?

I asked again and now, she released me and looked at me.

"Are you okay? Do you feel hurt anywhere"?

She asked and I honestly thought I felt some worry in her actions.

"Are you... worried about me right now"?

I asked and she finally looked at me and cleaned her eyes.

"Are you crazy? Why would you do that? You scared everyone".

She went from worried to angry in the twinkle of an eye.

"Calm down will you? It's not like I did it on purpose".

"What happened"?

She asked and then took me to the bed to sit.

"I don't know".

I said besides, before now, she had always been cold to me. She never said she didn't like me but, she never acted like she liked me either. I didn't feel it was a good idea to just open up to her and tell her I had a panic attack so I just told her I didn't know the reason why.

"You should be more careful, you should know how strong and healthy you are. Don't do things that are too much for you to handle".

I nodded and smiled.

"Thank you".

She then smiled too and this was the first time I ever saw her smile.

"You are welcome".

She stressed out every word before she finally began walking out. I couldn't hold it in anymore so I called out her name.

"Kanada"?

She turned back and looked at me.

"Why... why are you being so nice today"?

"What do you mean? I'm always nice".

"Huh"?

I said. I utterly disagreed with that. To my surprise, she laughed. I always knew she was beautiful but, she was a whole different beauty when she smiled.

"I know you feel I've been rude to you these past few days right"?

She asked and I nodded in agreement.

"Listen, Nadia, when someone doesn't try to familiarize with you, ignoring you is not always the reason why. Sometimes, people just have other reasons".

"Like what"?

I asked curiously.

"Well, for example, they could be shy, scared, or even distant because of difference in status".

I said nothing and waited for her to continue.

"We all know you are working for the boss but we do not know the reason. Yet, I do know that you are special to the boss which means your status is much higher than mine. I can't just look or talk to you anyhow I please".

She explained and then I thought about it. She always seemed rude but thinking about it now, she just never said much and always minded her business.

"For me, it's probably fear and distance in status".

"Fear"?

"Hmnn. I don't want to make any mistakes so I rather keep to myself and like I told you earlier, you and I are not even on the same lane to begin with".
