A Favour

" did I made you wait for long ? " asked Kevin Graner who just came to the café, to meet Fiona Parker.

Fiona smiled and said, " no. I too have come just now. "

Kevin was excited on seeing her, " what's the occasion. You said you wanted to meet me. Generally, you wouldn't, unless I call you first. "

Fiona didn't know how to explain, " well... ah... its... "

Kevin couldn't understand what she's trying to say, " what happened, is there something bothering you? "

Seeing him worried, she got reminded of her mother's words.

//*** FIONA PARKER

" what !! You want me to meet him " Fiona cried out.

Her mother Samara Graner, said adamantly, " what's wrong in asking him a small favor? He is your cousin after all "

Fiona was irritated, " then, you should ask your brother yourself "

Samara said in a calm voice, trying to convince her, " my dear, you know why I'm asking you to meet him. Kevin would never say no to you. He always cares a lot and worries about you. "

" that's the more of a reason why I'm rejecting. I don't want to put him in a difficult position because of me " said Fiona with a serious look.

" do you want us to live on streets then. Your father had tried every means that he could. Now this is the only way left to save the company. You know about your father, we can't afford to lose him. "

" but... "

" just listen to me for once and please do this favour for me. Ask him to convince your uncle to allocate the money. "

Watching her mother pleading her desperately, she couldn't say no and agreed to her.

But she could not get herself to ask him. How can she, when she already know about his feelings towards her. Ever since she knew he likes her, she couldn't face him and always felt uncomfortable around him. She know she couldn't respond to his feelings. But then, she also couldn't reject him, knowing his kind nature and sensitive personality.

" nothing. I just wanted to apologize to you for the other day. I shouldn't have agreed to Eric and called you. You must have been very busy. Sorry for disturbing you. " saying that she smiled warmly.

At last, she couldn't ask him.

Kevin relaxed and said, " I thought something else happened. You don't need to apologize, as you didn't disturb my work. I was free on that day. "

She said, " I'm relieved now. I felt guilty for calling you. "

He said with a determined look, " don't ever feel that way. Ok. You have the right to call me whenever you want. I'll be always there for you. "

She was stunned by his statement, " ah... "

" I mean, you don't need to worry about it and can call me when you need my help. "

She know that he likes her and cares for her. But she never imagined he would be this serious about her. For the first time, she was afraid.

" well then, I won't keep you here for long. Let's go back " saying that she got up from the chair.

Kevin stood up and assured her, " you don't need to worry about EVERGREEN. I'll talk to my father and try to convince him. "

Fiona was surprised, how did he know that she came to ask him a favor. He surely knows everything about her.

Saying that he smiled at her warmly and went out of the café, soon followed by Fiona.

" it's you who asked me out, how long should I wait for you? " asked Arora who was angry.

She waited for Jason for a long time and finally called him.

Jason said worriedly, " I'm sorry, I'll there in no time. "

When she was about to disconnect the call, she heard Nathan asking him, " hey Jason, where are you going? "

He replied, " I'll be back in ten minutes " and then disconnected the call.

She wondered what he's trying to do. If he's so busy, then why bother to call her out.

Just when she was thinking about him, he came with his two hands joined together, " I'm really sorry. Shall we move now? "

Arora said doubtfully, " ah... you seem to be busy today. How about we meet another day? "

Jason said with a charming smile, " not at all... come, let's go " saying that he turned around to leave with her.

She wondered, " where? "

He turned back and said with his eyes shining brightly, " you will soon know "

Saying that he started to make a move. Arora hesitated for a while but soon followed him.
