Chapter 8: Number Saved As Partner

In the Restuarant

Thomson took them to a western restuarant nearby Sun company, where he and Princess went for dinner along with their parents on her fifth birthday five days before the incident of her disappearance.

Princess thought that this restuarant was somewhat familiar, but ignored it as she knows that she used to live here in her childhood, so she might be familiar, and went in casually without showing her expressions.

Thomson was watching closely saw her changing expression in a glance. But was helpless, untill she remembers something then only he can persuade further thats what he thought and the next moment when they seated he is already thinking of other ways.

Jackson, knowing his friends attitude kept quite he wanted Princess to be happy if Tom could get her heart, he will be first to climb on the mountain and scream to his heart happily.

Lia knowing her brothers wish, though little sad but still hoped that everything will be fine as her brother was in full confidence and she trusted him. She also knows that Princess too have interest in him.

Tom sat in front of Princess and Jackson in front of Lia, actually Tom wanted to sit beside her but still chose to sit in front so that he can see her for a long time without disturbance, as he has lost his precious twenty years of time without seeing her and as time proceeds he will still have a chance to sit beside her.

Just then the waiter brought the menu which he pointed to give it to Princess. She took the menu and ordered what she wanted and also what her brother and sister liked.

Thomson was confused he wanted to know what she liked to eat but seeing that she ordered Jacksons favourite food he can guess that she might have ordered Lias preference too.

Reading Thomson's mind Jackson whispered

"You can count on me to know what she likes and what she dislikes."

Hearing that his friend os on his side he was little shocked as he knew that how Jackson was very much protective towards her but still have confidence in him, he felt relieved and was very happy at heart.

Thomson never thought that his friend could support him to persue Princess.

"Thanks" he whispered.

'Actually I want to cherish each amd every moment with her' he wanted to say it to Jackson but dont know why these words were stuck in his heart.

As they had thier lunch Tom and Princess were glancing at each other in a way that they were not caught seeing each other but the brother-sister duo caught them and did not expose.

During lunch nobody made a sound, Tom wanted to talk but didnt, he himself didnt know why he didnt speak. He had many things to tell her, je wanted to hear her voice.

After Lunch, he got a call from Ronny to remind him about the meeting and Jackson had Lia went back to their work.

"When are you free? We have to discuss about the future" he asked Princess

She was shocked, how this man is approaching her but was happy at heart.

Without waiting for her answer he said

"After all we have to work together."

"Give me your number" he added

He called her back after recieving the number and said

"This is my number, save it"

Then he took his phone and looked at it for a long time.

'Save it as something like darling, sweetheart, or..... wife' he was wandering in his mind thought for a moment in a flash and saved.

'Partner' not bad he thought, he was feeling like he is flying but bought back to the ground by her words

"See you then, Mr Thomson, I'll take your leave." she said in a soft voice.

He was not willing to part but still nodded his head. He walked her to the Sun company and waited till she disappeared in an elevator, went back to his company by taking his car from the parking lot.

Both Princess and Thomson had a lot of things to talk about but no one spoke, not knowing whether they were shy or loss of words

Thomson went to his office, after meeting, he went to with Ronny to an abandoned warehouse, there were two men one tied up to a pole and another to the chair.

He entered the room with his icy cold eyes, he took a quick glance to the people and then to Ronny who nodded his head and went passed him
