” Where is the section?
” Mr Rymer asked pointing towards the screen, at a section where a girl was walking at.
” Oh that’s the cold room area, guests aren’t allowed there…”
” Shit!
” He cursed, darting from the surveillance room like a lightning bolt.
Seeing this the group was dumbstruck.
” Sir look at this.
” A staff member pointed, zooming in at the scene Mr Rymer asked about after playing the scene.
” Quick, quick…go after him!
We could be in serious trouble if this issue is not handled carefully.
” The manager stressed.
Within minutes, Brandon was already outside the cold storage room.
He sent two powerful kicks at the closed door; forcing it open, taking off his suit jacket and rushing into the room; where a saw a figure curled in a ball, on the cold floor.
He reached out to her; placing his jacket over her.
Looking around the place, he noted how extremely cold the room was; and someone had spent three plus hours inside.
Lifting her into his arms, he carried her out of the room heading for the other exit of the hotel.
” Mr Rymer…we are extremely sorry for our negligence.
We hope we can be of help in salvaging the situation?
” The manager said trying to make amends.
” Move!
” His voice was cold and reprimanding, causing the man to instantly move aside for him to pass.
All through his walk towards the parking spot, he kept staring at her face.
All white and drained of any colors, clearly showing how much the cold had started getting to her.
She curled into his arms further; drawing warmth from him, with her making few inaudible whispers.
Brandon arrived at his car, where he placed her at the passenger seat and turned on the heating system of the car to keep her warm.
A couple of minutes later Bel slowly opened her eyes, feeling a bit of warmth from her new surroundings.
She was now inside a car; with the HVAC system of the car turned on specifically for her.
Seeing the interior of the car, she wasn’t very sure who owns it and sitting there clearly not sure of what to do herself.
” Knock, knock!
”
She saw a man knocking at the door of the car’s window.
Bel felt puzzled at first; all she remembered was falling unconscious at the hotel storage room, and now she was here inside a car.
Reading the man’s lips, he asked her to roll down the window, holding a warm smile on his face.
” Miss…we are sorry!
It’s our fault you were stuck in the cold room for hours.
Please can you forgive? Get faster updates on g.com.
” The manager pleaded.
” Ummm…what happened?
And whose car is…” Bel’s eyes held uncertainty, from seeing the man begging her.
” Move!
What she needs is space.
” A cold voice rang in her ears, causing her to look towards her side; where the figure of a man stood.
He stepped into the car and his cold features was revealed before her.
” Mr Rymer…I would get the person behind the act and get them punished!
Please I plead…
don’t let this issue tarnish our reputation!
”
” Mr Roger…do you lack common knowledge?
Or you have an issue listening?
I said give her space.
We would talk about this some other time, not right now.
” He said, starting the engine of the car.
Hearing his last words, Mr Roger dismissed all further thoughts of making him more angry; and he stepped back watching the car being driven off.
He marched back into the hotel, where he was going to query his staff members mostly the catering unit who heard a person asking for directions.
Driving out of the hotel, the atmosphere in the car was slightly tense.
Both staring ahead at the road before their very eyes.
” Here!
You should call your friend, don’t want to get them more worried!
” He uttered keeping his eyes on the road.
Bel reached out and collected her before dialing Katie’s number; the call went through as soon as she placed it, where Katie’s worried and tense voice resound through the speakers.
The call went on for minutes, Katie’s worries was expressed through the phone and she insisted on seeing her first just to be certain she was fine; though Bel didn’t say what had happened to her.
” Katie I’m fine!
I’m sorry to get you worried.
Don’t worry we will talk soon!
” Bel informed her, revealing only this little as possible before ending the call.
” Your GPS?
” He asked, keeping his words short.
Bel scanned her location into the device of the car before navigating her destination.
The ride was slow with a deafening silence in the car, where the both of them felt like they were resisting a certain conversation!
” Your house is up ahead!
” His words were now cold and authoritative, making it seem less of a question than a command…
” Please stop here…” Bel squeezed out, feeling how her knight in shining armor seems less of a knight in shining armor!
The car came to an abrupt stop; a couple of blocks from where she lived.
Though she was a shaky, and lightheaded awhile ago; right now she felt calm.
So calm that breathing felt somewhat difficult, the experience at the hotel cold storage room flashed in her eyes, causing her to shudder.
Slowly stealing glimpses of the elegant and beautiful man besides her, Bel’s heart gained a sudden strength.
The man turned off his car and leaned his head backwards on the headrest, closing his eyes..
” Miss Dolph…I hope you’ve come to your senses now?
”
” Uhm…”
His breath was calm and steady, very relaxed with his voice carrying a hard edge to it.
” I hope you know I’m not like any other men out there?
It would be better if you stopped coming after me…” His cold words rang in the car, with Bel keeping silent.
” Why…why can’t I have you?
Am I unqualified like that girl from earlier?
” Bel snapped, still feeling the sting of being rejected by him.
” Why.!
Why do you desire me so bad?
There are many stars in the sky…why ho after the who you can’t reach?
” His words held a strange bewilderment at her consistency.
” Cause …cause this star intrigues me!
It’s a light shone on my dark night…
pulling me in unknowingly!
” Bel confessed.
Since the first she has indeed seen him; she hasn’t been herself.
He had sparked a reaction in her which wasn’t there, and now she was longing for more of what she had seen; like a forbidden fruit!
He became more comfortable in his seat, running his fingers through his hair.
The next second; he opened his cold and calculative eyes and looked her.
His eyes held warning, same warning she had seen the night she approached him.
” You can’t be with…” He said, his eyes narrowed at her before averting his gaze.
” I can!
That woman is no better than me.!
” Bel argued.
” It’s not about her..it’s me!
I’m a threat…you should have stayed far from me!
” He released a breath visibly not going to argue with her anymore.
” Then take me to your world!
