HIS MEMORY

Chapter 6

Two days later:

"Any information on her ?." Kade asks Reece the moment he got into the car, this particular topic was the only thing in Kade's mind for a few days now and all he wanted to do was to get all the information he truly can her and Kade truly wanted nothing else.

"No sir, nothing on her yet," Reece replied. He also felt uneasy to say that and clearly, he could see how Kade was very disappointed with this answer. He himself was very disappointed to say that too.

Kade, on the other hand, was hoping to get something at least but at the same time knew that this wasn't an easy task either. He knew he will just have to wait to get any sort of information.

"Okay, let me know if you find anything at all." He said taking out a small but frustrating breath out.

Which seemingly he always did. Being a little frustrated was not really something new for him really, being a workaholic, workload did put him in a lot of pressure and motivated him to do more and more. He liked that kind of frustration. It gave him a kick in life which he always wanted and made great use for it. Kade always liked keeping himself engaged at all times.

But this kind of exhaustion and frustration was something else entirely. It was not because of work, this was something else. The fact that he wanted to know this individual and knew where she is right now, is she dead?, is she far away somewhere?. All of these questions exhausted him, demoralized him. And to not get any sort of explanation was making him uneasy.

The uneasiness in his heart just kept on getting vaster and vaster by the second to him. Even though he doesn't show it to anyone it is all locked up inside of him, just like he locks up everything inside of him. Never letting anyone in.

This was his burden to bear and Kade knew he couldn't d take it. He had to keep it there, forever if that is what it takes.

Kade eventually decided to let go of all of these thoughts and just move on, being patient will do him good and that is what he did. He made a decision to be patient.

Unexpectedly out of nowhere something instantly came to his mind.

"What about Robbinson's team and his daughters? any news on that?. I don't see any new staff." Kade said watching out the window, waiting to get an answer from Reece.

"The staff is being relocated right now, sir. They will be here by this afternoon. And Mr. Robbinson's younger daughter is already in the office with her superiors.

"What about the other one?." Kade inquired this time looking at Reece.

"Lydia Robbinson, sir." He said calling her by her name.

"Yes Lydia, " He repeated her name which literally flew like liquid. He thought that was a lovely name. Very unique.

"When is she going to join the company?."

"Within about 2-3 days," Reece said and that especially caught his attention immediately. Kade frowned his eyes giving off a confused look.

"Why after 2-3 days?." He asked Reece confused about this situation.

"I am not entirely sure Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Robbinson's secretary passed on the information, she said Miss Lydia has some business to take care of and she will join right after she is done with it and I didn't question about more information on this," Reece said clarifying everything to Kade, while all Kade could really do was nod his head but did not say a single word back.

He might have not seen or maybe he has seen her but has completely forgotten, that was also possible. But never the less Kade has always heard all promising things about her and her achievements she has made at a very young age and for that, he has a little respect for her. But for her to completely gain trust from him she has to prove herself right in front of. That particular thought made him smirk. He knew how he was and he also knew it was very hard to impress him. Not everyone can do it and he couldn't wait to see if she could do it.

But never the less, Kade knew she was going to be a good asset to the company. That Kade was very much sure off without any doubt what so ever.

Both of them without saying a word drove through a similar street they always took. This time like always Kade was anticipating to see something just like he was for the past 3 days. He didn't really know what was so exhilarating about this entire thing, but never the less Kade was actually in a good mood like he was for a few days. Watching a "weirdly sick girl" according to him was really unusual but at the same time it was quite fun and one of the highlights of the day to him. Or has been for some time now.

Immediately Kade's eyes diverted to his left the moment the same street came to place. It was definitely an involuntary moment. But it felt right too. Which he really couldn't deny.

The moment the car got nigher to the cafe his eyes immediately landed on it. He saw those same tables, chairs but now newly bloomed flowers which had apparently turned yellow. Inside Kade could still see a very large crowd walking in and getting out. This never seems to surprise him anymore, maybe the food in there was really very remarkable to have gather such a large crowd and the fact that they had the capacity to hold them and get them all to come back over and over again was only letting him know they were good at their business and definitely knew perfect algorithms to make this work for them. Any business venture that could do well and keep it that way was always impressive to Kade.

Kade kept his eyes sharply in the cafe. As the car went a little further his eyes too came across the same table at the end of the cafe, A small table with three chairs. The second Kade's eyes landed on the table his eyes immediately scrunched up together as his eyebrows frown with disturbance and also uneasiness at the same time. Needless to say, Kade was very much shocked and yet stunned.

She wasn't in there. The entire table was empty and there was nothing on it either. Kade's eyes travel everywhere to try to find the girl. The entire place was completely packed as so many people were crowded in. So many tall and short people walking here and there and even though this was happening it really didn't bother Kade in any way. It was still very easy for Kade to identify her, even though it contains a lot of people inside. All he had to do was look for a girl with long black hair, her hair was very thick and always looked like they were well-groomed, he had to find a short girl who might have a laptop in her hand. And even though it was very easy to find her she was literally nowhere to be found. She wasn't here. Kade again without even realizing shifted himself forward trying to get a better alongside the cafe, but still nothing.

The traffic starts to move and so does all the cars, including his own.

Kade's eyes still were clasped in the cafe as now he could see every inch of it very clearly, as his car started to move farther and farther away. But still, there was nobody and she wasn't there at all. Something immediately made Kade feel very hesitant and at this point, his heart started to beat a little faster than it normally did. He felt very agitated and this was something he couldn't really hold on to himself right now. As Kade looked away from the cafe and sat back down comfortably in the car all he could really think about was "what could have happened?" "was she okay?". Keeping his eyes down Kade was interrupted with all of these thoughts over and over again. At this point, Kade was just more irritated than he thought. Something wasn't feeling right to him and that particular thought bothered him more than he thought it would.

This was the very first time Kade felt unsure of things and so many horrible thoughts immediately rushed in like a flood inside of him.

Kade slowly closes his eyes all because there were so many emotions inside of him right now.

Immediately Kade opened both his eyes looking straight ahead of him.

"Stop." He said instantly getting Reece's attention and Reece looking at Kade through the mirror because he did not catch what Kade just said to him.

"Sir?." He asked him again but all Reece could see was Kade in holding an unfamiliar gaze.

"Stop the car, NOW," Kade said one more time and this time he said it in a vivid sort of authority way, and it didn't take a second for Reece to immediately find a spot to stop the car.

Needless to say, he was confused, curious, and also terrified at the same time.

The moment the car slowed down to be stopped somewhere, Kade without even waiting for it to completely stop instantly opened the door and rushed out without even worrying about himself for a second, not even for a while. And just directly ran towards the cafe as the people around him watched him out of curiosity. Even some girls walking by looked at Kade and they really couldn't take their eyes off of him, and it's not their fault really. Kade was a very handsome man with an amazing body and great features, they all wanted Kade to notice them. But he, on the other hand, just rush past all them not even giving them one small glace.

Kade now just has to pass very heavy traffic to reach the cafe and without even hesitation whatsoever Kade immediately just rushed through as the car started to come his way, but very smoothly Kade passed through all of those cars, without being run over and making sure no sure nothing hit him.

Reece, on the other hand, was so shocked to see all of this. He didn't really know what was happening but he only stared at his boss with a very confused ad scared look on his face.

The moment Kade rushed towards the main door of he and he immediately ran in and his eyes instantly caught hold to the table to his right, the one that was empty. There was still no one there and there was nothing on top of it either. It just stayed in the corner, all empty.

Kade instantly turned around still trying to find the girl, his eyes, again and again, roomed around trying to find a familiar face or even a familiar structure at the least. But still no luck, nothing.

He couldn't find long black hair here, at least not long enough.

"Excuse me?." Someone said from right behind him and Kade immediately turned around the see a blonde with long hair looking right at him curiously. Kade's eyes scrunch up again.

"Can I help you with something ?." She asked him kindly with a small smile on her face. She was hoping to get an answer from him but didn't really get anything at all. Because at this point he just looked so out of place. All he could do was look at the girl right in front of her not being sure of anything anymore. But then suddenly something happened right there and then, Kade right at that very moment realized something.

It was almost like something had hit him, something huge had hit him. Kade immediately took in a large breath and let it out slowly. He then slowly closed his eyes and rubbed his face with his hand, trying to gather his thoughts together. Right at that moment, the first thing that came to his mind was" What the hell was he doing". That was it. "What the hell was he doing?" was the first thing that popped into his mind.

"Are you alright ?." The lady asked him again and Kade right at that moment let out a huge breath, letting go of his face.

"I am fine, thank you." He said calming himself a little or as much as he really could. And without saying the other word, Kade immediately made his way towards the door, leaving the girls confused as hell.

But before he could even reach the door or even walk out of the door, Kade, one more time, turned to his left and looked at the empty table in the corner of the cafe. And slowly let out the huge breath he didn't even know he was holding in. And immediately rushed out of the cafe and walked out.

The moment he came out of that place he felt fresh air hit him. It no longer smelled like coffee or cake anymore. It was just fresh air calming his nerves down. And now without thinking too much about anything Kade slowly put the buttons of his jacket and started to make his way towards the car. Right now he was clearly very very stressed out. he slowly pushed his hair back feeling very irritated and done for the day actually. He really was very drained and was not so sure why.

Reece, on the other hand, just stood there, confused as hell. But there was no way he was going to ask Kade what this entire thing was all about. He could clearly see Kade was not in the mood and also at the same time looked terrifying to him as well.

Asking him anything right now would be like standing in front of a hungry lion. This was not his death wish so he stood right there as he could see Kade make his way towards the car.

Without saying a single word Kade immediately stepped into the car and let his body fall back, he then slowly close his eyes breathing heavily and breathing out heavily. It was not really because he was tired of the whole running spree, no. Kade was actually a runner all his life and clearly, that was not the reason for him to have lost his breath. The reason for him to have all of this happen was clearly very different and very confusing at the same time.

It all only happened because of so many unusual thoughts that kept on rushing in his mind over and over again. On a repeated basis.

"Why the hell did you run out like that". "why was he there?". "What was it he wanted to find? ". "Why did he run all the way over to that cafe?". "Why did he do all of that?". So my question that he couldn't even answer himself. But most of all one single question was suffocating him the most. "Why did he want to search for her?. She was clearly a complete stranger to him. Why did he really want to do what he just did ?."

All of this made him lose his breath. All of this drained him as much as it could really.

It was all not very easy for him to understand and he didn't even try to understand any of this. All because this was too much for him to think about.

By this time Kade's heartbeat calmed down but just a little bit and that was what he was aiming for. All those things that happened a few whiles ago really did a number on him and just wanted to calm himself down just a little bit and that was what exactly happened right now.

"Should I start the car, sir ?."Reece asked Kade out of nowhere really. Although he was really terrified to say anything he knew he just had to do so.

Kade, on the other hand, slowly opened his eyes and nodded his head looking out of the car. Reece did not waste a second and immediately started the car driving away from that street. Still very confused. Kade at this point was balling his hand to a fist and opening it up again, as the veins of his hand started to pop out, this clearly meant he was very frustrated right now.

"Reece," Kade called out for him all of a sudden, almost alarming him.

"Yes, sir." He replied back to him right immediately.

"From tomorrow, just take the longer route." He said it was all he said.

Reece tried to understand why the sudden change of decision but obviously he wasn't going as him why so. And so Reece simply just nodded his head which only meant he understood.

"Yes, sir ." He said again looking back at the road ahead of him. While Kade sat back relaxing, slowly pushing his messy hair out of the way one more time.
