Chapter 59

"Tammy, why did not you mention this before? I could help you get this project back. I will talk about this to Harry. He will help you through this. After all, I know you will make the best CEO in the future." I get the opportunity to help him and I'm going to help if he likes or not. I expect at least his face would light up but again he has the same dull expression on his face like he hadn't eaten anything for a month. His eye bags were evidence that how much he had been worried about his company's situation and I want to help him so badly after knowing I have a chance on my plate to help. "Tammy, I can do this. You should trust me." I squeezed his hand but he shook his head for the response. "No Sheila, you can't. I don't want you to get into trouble asking about this to Harry. It's between us, not you." He replied in a raspy tone. "What do you mean, Tammy? All the time you have known that you are dealing with Harry's father but yet you haven't decided to tell me?" I asked feeling disappointed with finding this whole situation as a mess. My best friend doesn't have any trust in me. Then I will prove to him how wrong he was. First of all, I want to talk to Harry and clear the whole mess. There is no doubt, he would have known all about this, but he hasn't informed me either. "Okay, Tammy! I will see you later." I stood up from my place ready to go. He furrowed his brows and asked me a question. "Where?" "Ahh... I and Quinn are planned to go shopping and probably she has been waiting for me." I lied. He won't be happy when he gets to know about me talking about his mess to Harry, So I have no option left from lying. "Okay bye! Take care." He said unsure, the sadness enveloped his beautiful figure as ugly as ever making him look like a sick person for years. "Hmm bye." I waved and walked towards the parking area to meet Harry. "Hey!! Here you are. I'm looking for you!" Harry said once he reached the parking area. "Yeah! I have been waiting for you for a long time." I giggled and he planted a soft kiss on my forehead. "Okay then. Where you want to go?" "What about our usual hanging place?" I asked remembering how he gets excited every time when we hung there. He cracked a huge smile and started the engine once we settled inside his car. "Harry!" "Ummm..." "I want to ask you something," I said nervously, the atmosphere changed suddenly from cold to warm, maybe my heavy breath caused this. "Go ahead!" His eyes solely on the road. "Tammy is really brilliant! He wants to achieve something in his life. Why don't you give him the project?" I came to the point directly. He glanced at me through the mirror but continued his driving not saying any words if he hadn't given me that look I would have thought he didn't hear me. "Harry! He can do this; all he wants is a chance to prove his talents. He has been so exhausted thinking about his company's loses and I feel bad for him." I looked at him to check whether he is listening or not but he gave me a small nod to continue. "Please tell your dad to reconsider his decision before he could handover the project to another company." I don't know from where I got the nerve to ask, but I asked because Tammy is my best friend and I will do anything for his happiness. I looked at him expecting his answer to be harsh, instead, he twisted his lips and sped up the. "Sheila! I have told you many times that don't talk to him but still, you are talking and now brought his problem to me." He shook his head like he was not happy with what he heard and I'm not going to give up easily. "Harry please! Don't bring your personal problem into this." I snapped angrily. "Sheila! You know what? My dad is not the one who declined the project offer to his company, it's me." He said casually that made me look at him with open mouth. "But why? It's not fair, Harry. You can't do this to him. The only reason you are not fond of him doesn't mean you have to mean to him." I raised both my hand in the air. Ahh!! I wanted to pull his hair out. "Sheila! Their company has been committed to a lot of fraudulent activities for years. His dad has been hiding more amounts from his company's profit and kept it on his account personally. "You know what? All these amounts are considered as black money and there is no doubt, they will get arrest anytime soon for their sins." He explained further. I can't believe this. If someone else said this news to me, I would have slapped them harder on their cheeks for spreading rumors about Tammy but with him it's-- my thoughts were interrupted when Harry stepped on the brake forcefully. "Dammit!" He cursed and sped up the car once again. "Harry! What's going on? Slow down." I shrieked but he increased the speed even crossed the speed limit. He can't be angry with me over a silly conversation, does he? "Sheila, someone is following us." He said in the calmest tone. "What!" I shrieked and looked back where I could able to see a black car and I noticed we were not on our way to the park. "Harry! where are we going!" Anxiety started to eat my nerve. "Calm down Sheila! I am trying to make them lose their track." He then dialed someone numbers and the person picked the call in a second ring.
