[Bonus chapter] Let's Get You Home, Babe

Sandra walked into the chief police's office and she saw the man fidgeting on one of the office's couches when he felt a movement behind him he turned.

His expression softened when he saw the woman walking towards him and his heart ached, knowing what she had gone through a lot in just one night, he knew that the horrible scene she just witnessed might have triggered something in her.

"I..I.. didn't..," Sandra stutters not knowing what to explain to Dylan but what she doesn't know was that man doesn't need any explanation from her.

"It's fine," Dylan says pulling the weak Sandra to himself and enveloping her in his warm embrace.

Sandra burst into tears and she started wailing uncontrollably without even knowing why but her brain kept telling her that she should just cry.

Dylan knew that she needed time to give her time to grief because he knew she wasn't just grieving the death of Priya but the death of her father that she also witnessed too.

"I..am..sorry.I don't mean, "Sandra was saying hiccuping but Dylan cut her off. "You don't have to apologize to me it's fine I understand," Dylan says cupping her face in his hands the two looked into each other's eyes and they both were silent each not saying what they have in mind at that time.

"Let's get you home," Dylan says pecking Sandra on her forehead and she rested her head on his chest not letting go.

She doesn't understand how much she had fallen for this man through the years but the realization hit her hard when the contract expiration came knocking and her anxiety doubled.

She had become dependent on him and that was why she had become more greedy and wished that the man would feel the same way about her.

They both walked out of the office together hands-in-hands and when Sandra saw the people outside she quickly snatched her hands away from Dylan's.

Dylan's face twisted in anger because of Sandra's action but he didn't say anything. The police chief quickly ran towards them and his face was brimming with questions but he doesn't have the gut to ask because he doesn't want to lose his head.

"Mr. Brooke, we are sorry that you have to come to the station this late and Miss Sandra we are sorry for the arrest we mean no harm," the chief police says hurriedly and he smiled sheepishly looking at the two people that he doesn't know what was going in between them anxiously.

Sandra returned the smile awkwardly the man was beaming her way and she looked around for Becky so she can save herself from the eagle eyes of the police chief.

"Mr. Brooke, thanks a lot for coming through for me but I think I will take my leave now," Sandra says sounding distant as she can be Dylan knew what she was hinting but he doesn't want that.

Sandra was trying to use the influence of being the face of Brooke's group and if she looked distant enough the people could think their closeness was just formality.

How convenient!!!

"What do you mean babe, I will take you home," Dylan says clasping Sandra's hands and the people around almost have their hearts in their mouths.

Babe? Isn't he the CEO that doesn't like women? Why is he calling the nation's goddess, babe? That was the lingering question on everyone's mind.

The police chief that already guessed the situation that was going on swallowed a gulp of saliva looking at the shift in emotions of the CEO and he wondered if the cold man was even capable of loving someone.

Sandra got uncomfortable with the people's stare throwing her her way and she glared at the man that was the cause of her misery she wondered why he even played that prank on her.

"Erm erm," Sandra heard Becky clear her throat. "Let's go, Sandra".

Sandra immediately followed Becky because she doesn't want to be in the same space with that man again. She was angry but some part of her was happy at his shamelessness outside and it somehow gave hope to her hopeless heart.

Maybe he meant it when he said that he wanted her to stay, that was the lingering thought on Sandra's mind.

"Let's get you home, babe," Dylan says immediately after they entered his car, and Sandra breathes relief when she was able to get rid of her fan's eagle eyes that were littering around the police station.

"I hope Becky would be able to handle the fan's questions," Sandra says worriedly looking outside the car window. "I am sure she would be five she knows her way around the job," Dylan says.

"Grrr her, "Dylan's phone was bust blaring but she didn't bother picking it up and Sandra wondered why.

"Why are you not picking it up?"Sandra asked curiously and Dylan squeezed her hands when he heard her question.

"It's just that whatever they are going to say is what I have known of," Dylan says his expression grave and Sandra wondered why his mood was sour but she made no effort to ask.

They entered Sandra's apartment and the darkness that enveloped the room scared Sandra and she tried to stay strong. Dylan's eyes catch on her every movement and he enveloped her in his embrace from behind sniffing her hair and shampoo in the process.

"You smell well babe," Dylan says sniffing Sandra's hair, he felt himself turn on and he cursed his self-control for getting turned on because of things like that.

"You should go freshen up," Dylan says releasing her from his grip and Sandra turned to look at the man solemnly.

What was she expecting? Sandra eyed the man and she wondered why he had been avoiding her.

"Ok," Sandra says and she walked dejectedly to her room.

Dylan looked at the drop shoulder of the girl and wondered what he had done wrong but his phone beeping jolted him out of his thoughts and he sighed heavily seeing the number displayed on the screen.

"Hello Dylan, "the voice rang out immediately Dylan picked up the phone
