Chapter 40

Kara’s POV

*

             “Thank you for meeting with me here.” I got up and shook Andre’s hand immediately he got to my table. We had decided to meet at a small cafe not far from the hospital after I told him about Stephano’s case. I had to leave immediately Stephano took a nap because he wouldn’t release my hand or stop staring at my face.

“Of course not, Kara. I’m only doing my duty. So, tell me more. You sounded rushed and panicked over the phone.” He smiled and then his face morphed into a serious expression as he motioned for me to tell him about it immediately we sat. 

“So, have you checked the CCTV?”  I rushed out and fiddled with my fingers. 

“Yes....I called the technical manager immediately and our security team is now looking into it. So please tell me, what exactly is wrong with him?”

I shrugged. “The report for the test conducted on him states that he was drugged and right now, he’s at John Bruce hospital. It’s pretty serious.”

Andre’s eyes widened. “John Bruce? That’s a psychiatric hospital. Jesus!” He whisper yelled and rubbed his chin with a deep frown etched on his face.

“Yes. He’s no longer aware of his environment. All he recognizes is….me.” My voice grew shaky again as I remembered how he clung to me when the nurses tried to calm him and sedate him. It had been scary, to say the least.

“That’s serious.” He heaved a deep sigh, “and sadly this has taken a toll on you.” He muttered in a tone elaced in concern.

“I know, right?”

“Yes...”

“I just tol-” his ringing tone blared to life so he excused himself to pick the call, focusing on staring at his watch while I just watched him. “Talk to me. What do you have? Oh really? That’s great. Get the team leader to contact me and also let the welfare department head know about this. Word must not get out, is that taken? Okay.”

He smiled and nodded gently at whatever the person was saying. I couldn’t help but stare a bit longer than I probably should when I remembered the intimate position he had been in with Mimi the other day. That look in his eyes that day, I knew that look. It was one of longing. 

He longed for Mimi. He loved her!
It was evident that he loved Mimi so much and was also really protective over her and his son. That was something Stephano would really do because I had seen him looking at me like that times without number. But why weren’t Andre and Mimi together? Mimi never told me what transpired between herself and the father of her son, except that they had a little issue and she had to leave him. 

She had never mentioned Andre in a way that depicted he knew him elsewhere or acted strangely whenever he visited or came to deliver a message as per on his boss’s orders. Maybe I had just never noticed it because I didn’t link them together. Mimi and Andre? Let the ship sail!

Could she have been acting strange that night at the house party because she had seen Andre? Come to think of it, she had bumped into me and Paul, looking so upset and as if she had been trying to get away from someone.

Maybe he was the person she had been running away from. But what could be the issue with the-

“Kara, are you with me?”

I blinked and the small smile remained on my lips. “Yeah. I’m with you.”

He smiled gently. “I have good news. Great one, in fact.”

I sat up eagerly, warmth already spreading around my chest at the several options of good news he could probably have.

“Please, tell me.”
