Father! what a pleasant surprise. What are you doing here?; Chris asked as he dropped the plastic bowl of fruit salad he was holding on the table.

Are you expecting an answer for that question?; Mr. Mark asked sarcastically as he sat on a chair next to chris.

Am sorry; chris replied as he lowered his head and his shoulder drop. He signaled Sophie with his hands, telling her to leave the office.

So what can i do for you father?; Chris asked calmly.

It seems to me that you are avoiding me, so i decided to be the better father and come see you; his father replied noticing how chris looked uncomfortable him being here.

Just like you were being the better father when you kept your sickness a secret from your own children; Chris said as he stood up and walked towards his office desk and sat on his swivel chair.

Come on son, I did it to keep you from worrying about my old self. I didn't want to take away your life from you by making you waste your life by trying to find a cure for me; Mr mark answered looking somehow pitiful.

You already took away my life by not telling me you were dying until now; Chris said as he took a sharp gaze at his father with coldness to his voice that will send chills down your spine.

Am sorry son, i didn't want you find out like that. I was going to tell y........; Chris did not let his father finish, he interrupted.

Tell me, tell me when huh?, When you are dead?, is that when you were gonna tell Beatrix and I?; Chris interrogated continiously as his voiced raised a bit.

Calm your voice young man, am still your father; Mr mark replied with a loud voice too.

Am sorry father but i think its better for both of us if you leave; Chris said with his voice low as if he was going to cry with his finger pointing at the door.

Ok fine, if that will make you hate me less; Mr Mark replied cold then walked toward the exit door but he stopped and turn to look at chris slowly, then opened the and left.

Hah!!; Chris sighed with relief as he slowly relaxed on his swivel chair.

He sat on the swivel chair and turned his back to the door, he went into deep thought but his face still has anger written all over it. He had been sitting in that position for almost an hour, when sophie heard the quietness, she decided to check on him. AS she entered the office, she was him sitting quietly, she called him but he didn't reply so she walked over to the chair and just as she was about to tap him, something stopped and she remembered the last time tapped him when he was in a trance, he almost shot her. Her heart skipped a beat, her head began to form tiny sweats, her hands trembled but she decided to take the risk. As she lightly touched his shoulder, she cried "Please don't shoot, its me sir" with her eyes closed as if she was really going to die.

Why will i shoot you?; Chris asked looking confused and annoyed because she interrupted his quiet thought which made her open her but she was still frightened by his voice.

That was what happened the last time this happened; she answered looking pitiful and innocent.

You really funny; Chris said as he smiled a bit then let out a sigh!.

You look tensed sir, should i give you a massage?; Sophie asked calmly which made chris surprised as he gave her a sharp gaze which clearly said "NO". But he then looked away and had a little thought.

Ok sure, it might help me relax; He replied with a calm voice which made sophie's heart warm and calm.

She then put her hands on his shoulder and slowly began to press it sofly and slowly, they talked while she was giving him the massage, that they didn't even notice its 6pm. After work chris offered to drop her home, without hesitation Sophie agreed.

Ok i will see you tomorrow then secretary; Chris said as he smiled abit.

Thank you for the ride sir; Sophie appriciated humbly.

mmmmm; Chris just noded his head in reply, she then turned to leave but chris eyes were fixed on her as she head to the gate.

"I don't why i feel different about you, i feel calm when i see you, your voice is like cold water to my heart but i can't ever trust a woman, thats a promise i made to myself. Am sorry"; Chris thought to himself as he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
