Pursuit

--SMASH--

Shattered window glass scattered on the room

A carpet stained in blood

Footsteps heard on the hallway

--Creak...

Door slowly opened, behind it is a man in black standing and carefully searching the room by his gaze.

"Damn it!" hish by the man

--Buzz..Buzz--

"Status?" said on the line as soon as the man pick up the call

"Target missing"he answered

"Sh***t!"

"FIND HER!!"

--Toot...toot--

Call ended...

...----------------...

"I remember this scent"

"Argh!"

"Lisa!"

A familiar voice worriedly sounds in a far

"Where am I?"

"Lisa!" the voice growing closer

"Lisa!"

A warm hand touches mine.

As I opened my eyes.

I see unfamiliar surrounding.

"This is not my room?"

"Where am I?"

I unconsciously asked without looking the one whose holding my hand and repeatedly calling my name as I'm busy looking the room.

As I turn my gaze. Director Zhang still holding my hand with worried face.

Consciousness strikes me.

I felt the sharp pain on my shoulder. It was bandaged

I asked Director Zhang why am I here.

"Director Zhang where is this place and why am I here?

"You're at my place" he answered

"You don't remember what happened?"

"And just call me Lawrence when we're not at work" he continued.

I tried to remember what just happened.

"All I remember was I heard the crashing of my window and afterwards I lose consciousness. And when I wake up I'm already at your place" I answered.

Lawrence still worried as he look at me. And hold my hand tight. Seems like he know something.

"Looks like someone has a grudge on you"he said.

Grudge? Who? Me?

"What are you saying?" I asked. I don't know what is he talking.

"You're in danger"he answered in low tone.

"How sure are you I'm in danger, and what is your basis?" again I asked lawrence.

I want to stay calm. I look at him straight to his eyes.

I want to know something.

"The time I drop you at your place, I felt something's not right" he said.

"Something's not right? What do you mean?"

"I felt that someone is tailing at us, but I didn't not let it bothered me, because the time we're about to reach your place, the car behind us was gone."

"When I'm about to leave, I saw a man in his hoodie standing looking on something, and when he saw me he walked away. I took a glimpse of what he's looking at" he paused

"What is he looking at?" I seriously asked.

"It was your place" he answered

"Hahahaha!.. maybe it was just a fan who wants to have my sign. You're making it sounds weird.

I am used to that. That was not the first time that I encounter some fan that wants to have my sign and waited me at my place, bringing me some gifts and chatting with me. For me that's not a problem even though my manager insist that I need to be careful to my fans. Because... when I am chatting with them I don't feel lonely, even though just a glimpse of time those time and memories with them are precious to me" I said without hesitation. It's true because I don't feel lonely when I'm with my fans they are my family unlike my real one.

"What if he's not a fan?" Lawrence in serious tone

"Uhmm.. You're exag-" he didn't let me finish what I'm about to say instead he continued what he's saying

"When I leave your place and about to turn on the corner I saw something suspicious so I parked my car on the dark side of the alley"

He paused and look at me before he continued.

"It was the car earlier parked at the alley and the man standing in front of your place got inside. That made the conclusion that something's weird and I'm getting to start to worried about you, after 2 minutes the car left the alley. It makes me all worried when you're not answering your phone, so I hurriedly went back to your place to check on you"

"When I'm about to knock on your door, I heard the shattering of glass. I thought the room is locked but it wasn't and when I opened the door I saw you on the floor unconscious and covered with blood, without hesitation I carried you and took you to my place"

"Uhmm.." I can't even think straight. I'm so speechless.

"Thank..you for saving my life, but why didn't you bring me at the hospital instead?" I asked

"Because if I took you to the hospital, it will caught more attention on what happened to you, I think that it will affect your carreer, knowing that you are Lisa" he answered

Yes he has a point. I nearly forgot my position. If many people will know what happened to me, we can't easily caught the one behind this. And I don't want to worry my fans either.

--knock--knock--

"LISA Dear what happened?!"

My manager entered the room checking my condition

"Manager I'm okay, if it wasn't for Director Zhang, I think I'm already gone by now" I calmed him

"Directong Zhang. Thank you for saving our Lisa, I don't know what to say right now, please just make a request or something that you want in exchange on saving her" Manager exclaimed

"It's okay Mr. Clyne I don't need anything. Seeing Ms. Lisa in good condition will be okay for me" Lawrence said while smiling as he held my hand once more

"Uhmm if you insist" manager answered and he turn his gaze on me while grinning

Agh.. I don't like his way of looking.

"Mr. Clyne I need to discuss something" Lawrence said in serious tone

"Okay I'm listening" he answered

I just nod and listen to Lawrence everything he said

To make it short. I need to pretend that I'm on a business trip for 1 week, so that I can recover and media will not know what really happened to me.

My manager arrange everything.

And It was decided that I will stay at Lawrence house for 1 week.

This is my first time to live together with a man.

It makes me feel nervous.

...----------------...

--Nightfall comes

"Lisa do you need anything" Lawrence asked

"No. I'm fine. I will now go to bed. Thank you" I answered

"If you need something just call me, I will sleep on next door"

"Yes. Thank you for your concern"

"Goodnight"Lawrence while smiling

"Good..night" I answered

He was smiling as he goes out of the room

Agh... why am I so nervouse >_<

--Outside the room

--Ring...

"Hello?"

"I will not wait any longer, let's settle everything tomorrow" said by the man on the other line

"But-"

"I'll be there tomorrow morning" he hang up

...----------------...

-The Next Morning

"Good morning Lisa"

"Good morning Lawrence"

"Can I asked a favor?" he asked

"Yes of course what is it" I answered

"Don't go down stairs this morning" he said

"Hmm.. are you having a visitor today?" I asked

"Uhmm. yes, but it will not take long, only this morning, can you do that?"

"Yes no problem. I will practice my line here in my room"

"Thank you ^_^"

"Uhmm.. hehe"

Aghh. That's smile again >_<

...----------------...

-Few hours past

"Ouch!"

This can't be..

Why now..

"Agh!.."

"I think I'm having my period. I don't have any napkins and medicine here"

"Should I go downstairs to asked Lawrence to go buy for me?"

"No..No, that's so embarassing. But-.. Agh!"

It's really hurt

It was already in the afternoon. So maybe his visitors already left.

...----------------...

--Downstairs

"Hmmm.. there's no one here"

I search the living room, kitchen and bathroom, but I can't find Lawrence.

OMG! what should I do?

I can't take this pain anymore

And I saw a room, with its door slightly open

Hmm.. Maybe a study room?

I opened it slowly and I saw a man standing facing the window

I can only see his back, is it Lawrence?

I can't even see clear now, my vision is foggy

I really can't take this pain

"Agh!"

I heard a footsteps coming for me

Did I faint?

I tried to open my eyes

A man holding on me. I can't see his face clearly

It was all fuzzy. But there's this something that caught my eyes

"Oriental..blue.." I murmured before I passed out
