Chapter 17

The Old Acquaintance and The Complications

So, her name is Natalia.

Natalia smiled timidly and cast a glance at me. "And this must be Abby."

"Yes," Joshua answered for me.

I was still standing silently. I didn't know how to react this time. I could feel they had a unique relationship, more like a love and hate thing. Joshua seemed to think Natalia as just his old acquaintance while Natalia still had hope she could win Joshua's heart.

I shuddered mentally.

"It's so wonderful to see you here, Joshua. I was looking for you last year, but you didn't attend the gala. I missed you," Natalia said sweetly.

It made my body shiver.

"Will you excuse us, Natalia?" Joshua tugged my waist tenderly and I followed him in a daze.

We walked out from the huge building and to the corner. I still didn't say anything. Natalia's smile replayed over and over in my mind. Somehow I felt my life was going to be much harder the next day.

"Abby, are you all right?" Joshua asked me worriedly. "I'm sorry. I didn't know that she'll be here." He sighed exasperatedly.

I didn't answer him. A strange feeling crept into my chest. I didn't like the way she looked at Joshua, I didn't like the way she acted like she was Joshua's former lover and mostly I didn't like the fact she has feelings for Joshua. I didn't understand this emotion. Some mix of anger and a little bit possessiveness.

I blinked several times when I realized what those feelings are.

I was jealous.

"Abby?"

I turned to look at him. He looked at me with a pained expression. Suddenly, I felt anger surged to my body. I narrowed my eyes. "Is that why you were acting strange all day? You knew she was going to come here, didn't you?"

"What?" Joshua asked me in a shock.

"Just tell me the truth, Joshua." Somehow it was funny to see the table was turned. He once yelled at me because of Ryan and now I yelled at him because of Natalia. "Naive I may be, but I am not stupid," I spat at him.

Joshua's jaw clenched and his eyes turned dark. In normal situation I should be scared, but now, I was angry too. "I didn't lie to you, Abby. I was acting strange because I wanted to ask you something, but she interrupted me. I don't know she's going to be here."

My face was hard now. "Why is she here anyway? What is it with her and the hospital?"

He sighed. "I must admit I forgot to consider that part. Natalia's father runs a medical company in Canada. Her father's company must have a business relationship with this hospital."

"She knows you're here, Joshua. She won't stop until she could get you. Can you see that?" I stated a matter of fact and it made me worry too.

"I know, Abby," He shouted at me.

Silence.

I could only hear our hard breathing.

He pinched the bridge of his nose. "I was so stupid. I shouldn't have brought you here. We weren't supposed to be here.
