317 Medical Conference - 2
As they drove back to the hotel, the whole time she was resting her head on his shoulders, hugging him tight like she didn't want to let him go. She was holding him like he was her most prized possession.
She was lost in all the happy thoughts thinking about how her folks in New York will react to see him back all alive in flesh and blood.
Katherine, Shawn, Kate, Mark, all the people from her Office.
Her mind started swirling and she was lost in her thoughts.
She was ecstatic that now she could have a normal happy life with him just like how regular couples have. Movie nights, dates, picnics and so on and so forth. Her lips curved into a smile just thinking about marriage and babies. She got so winded up in her thoughts that she didn't even realize when she dozed off and fell asleep in his arms.
Upon reaching 'The Savoy", he picked her up in his arms carefully, so as to not to wake her up from her bout of slumber.
He made her rest on the bed and then quickly packed his bag.
Once he was done, he went close to her and gave a wet kiss on her forehead and whispered,
"Don't you dare to worry. I am going to set everything all right for us".
Then he picked up his phone and sent a text.
"I AM RETREATING. LEAVE HER ALONE. I WILL AGREE WITH ALL YOUR TERMS" - [Raymond]
"I am coming for you Sebastian", he said and left for the airport.

Her eyes opened with the sound of the doorbell.
She immediately sat up and looked all around but he was nowhere to be found.
Getting a bit worried, she went and opened the door, expecting that it would be him, but she was surprised to see Oshana outside the door instead.
"Oh, you".
"Umm... where is Raymond? We were supposed to start now for the conference."
"Well, I don't know. I had slept off and I got up just now. He isn't there in the room. He might have gone out or something", Akira replied with a tinge of uncertainty in her voice as she herself didn't know what to tell.
Saying that Akira went back and picked up her phone and started calling him frantically. But her calls didn't go through. Getting all worried she went to the door and asked,
"Did he text you or call you?"
"No, I think he was busy with you but looks like you were busy sleeping instead", Oshana replied all sarcastically.
Akira could clearly understand what she was trying to insinuate but instead of retorting back, she replied all calmly, f𝗿𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝙣o𝙫𝚎l - 🅽🅽novel
"Well, I don't know where he is right now. If I get to know, then I will let you know. You can leave your number with me".
Oshana took out her name card and handed it to her and said,
"I am leaving for my conference. If you meet him, then tell him to reach there as soon as possible".
And saying that Oshana left but then she turned back again and asked,
"I really don't understand, why he fell head over heels for someone like you who can't even treasure his love properly", saying that she gave out a wry smile and left.
Drinking up that pail of insult, a worried Akira came back inside and started looking around to see if he had left a note or something for her because there were no messages from him on her phone. Her eyes were suddenly drawn towards his jacket which was lying on top of the duvet on the unused side of the bed. On top of it there was a note.
She picked it up all hurriedly and read,
"This is just to tell you that yesterday and today, happened for real. I am real. I had some urgent things to attend to. Couldn't risk telling you about it. So see you tomorrow in Brooklyn. Don't tell anyone that I am back. Let's plan a surprise for everyone".
'Forever yours - RAYMOND".
Her heart sank a bit when she read the message.
"Why did he run away from me?"
"What was so important that he didn't even want to wake me up and tell me about it before leaving?"
She pondered and started walking from one corner to another of the room. Suddenly her eyes fell on his medical file which was left on top of her briefcase.
Out of curiosity, she opened it again and started checking his reports and scans.
Then with a resolve on her face, she ran to the washroom and freshened up quickly.
Then she called up the reception and asked to get a car ready for her.
She had to rush to Imperial college.
