Noah took a deep breath and a plan collided with his mind, "Then, at home you are not going to push me away". There is no reason to hold back then. At home he wants to be Dom. He does not want to be tamed.

Carissa cleared her throat before carefully considering a reply, "We will talk at home".


Noah placed his elbow on the table and supported his head on the hand. He was facing her. "No, I want to talk now". He was leaving no returning option for her.

I am going to meet Celeste". Carissa informed him.

"Let me drop you there".


"It's okay you must be busy".

Noah ignored her rejection, "Follow me". Carissa took a deep breath and followed him quietly.


In the car, "When will you be free?" Noah asked.

"I don't know maybe an hour or more".

"Call me if there is anything".

"Okay".

Noah dropped her in front of a restaurant. It was a simple local restaurant. Carissa saw her sitting near a window, waiting for her.

When Carissa reached near her she hugged her back. Celeste was surprised but then a beautiful smile appeared on her lips. Because they were sitting at the window seat and Noah had no left yet, he saw her hugging celeste violently. His eyes turned cold. In front of him… just in front of him she acts like an unromantic person. He also craves for her initiative but she never does such a thing. If Carissa acts at least half sweet like this with him that would be enough. A sour feeling raised in his heart.

He signaled the driver to drive.

"I can see you have changed now, you look happy". Celeste said.

Carissa took a deep breath, "If we met 3 months ago I am sure you would have not said such a thing. But now, yeah I agree… things have gotten better".

"I am happy to see that you have overcome. Now hurry up and tell me who is behind this change". Celeste was curious.

"Noah". She took his name shyly.

Celeste clapped, "I knew it when I saw you guys together in the restaurant last time." Celeste thought of something, "does he know about your……"

Carissa nodded, "I could not tell him anything in detail but he knows. He is fine with it".

"I am relieved then. Enjoy your life now, you have already suffered a lot."

Carissa smiled, "Okay now leave me tell me about yourself. You should have brought Ian. I wanted to see him". "He was not feeling well. I will bring him next time".

"Okay".

"Carissa about your help… I am very thankful. I was going crazy during the past week. We met during my most vulnerable time period, this feels like a miracle".

"I am happy to meet again. But about Ian, I am not the one who helped him…. It was all done by Noah".

"Really? Then please convey my gratitude".

"Hey stop being so formal. You saved my life in the past. This is nothing compared to what you did. Now, stop being so emotional and eat up".

Celeste smiled at her. She was about to eat but her phone rang. Celeste looked at the number but it was unknown to her. She picked up the phone, "Hello, are you Miss, Celeste?" the man on the phone said.

"Yes speaking".

"Can you come to the bar, someone is drunk here and he told me to call you".

"Who's he?" Celeste was confused. "I don't know. He is tall with fair skin. Right now he is unconscious and I cannot do anything". From the description of the person she knew him. Her hands trembled. Carissa looked at the dazed Celeste, she was contemplating over something. Carissa snapped her finger in front of her and mothed, "Is everything okay?" Celeste nodded and said to the man on the phone, "Okay I am coming send me the address".

Celeste got up and looked at Carissa, "I am sorry, something urgent cropped up. Let's meet some other time".

"It's okay. You can go. But is everything alright?"

"Yeah it's related to work". Celeste lied. She cannot explain her relationship with Edwin to Carissa.

"Then hurry up and go".

Celeste took a taxi and went to a designated spot. While Carissa went back to her apartment and saw Noah standing on the door.
