The Doctor Who Loves Me

Shan looked at the paperbag she was holding before she entered the private meeting place. She decided to return the shoes this time since meeting assistant Ron like this would soon end with all problems of merger being solved. Too bad what they did together was all purely related to work. It would have been better if they could meet and go out like good friends to know each other more.

She had high regards for assistant Ron and to be honest she wanted to know him better or to put it simply she was interested in him but to her dismay assistant Ron’s world seemed to revolve only around work.

She entered the private room and as usual, assistant Ron was already present there, he had arrived earlier than her. In fact he was always the first one to arrive.

"You’re here... Sit..." assistant Ron murmured without looking at her. Shan shook her head and wondered if a person like him had ever had a girlfriend in his life.

Shan sat down and handed the paper bag to assistant Ron over the table. "Here. I want to return this to you..."

Assistant Ron put down the documents in his hand and checked the paper bag. "I see you kept my shoes for so long... I thought you would have put them in a trash can by now..." he murmured as he inspected the shoes then he grinned and commented, "It’s still the same as I last remember. I never knew that these types of shoes would last that long."

Shan’s eyes were rounded with her dropped jaw as she stared at assistant Ron in disbelief.

’He knew and remembered everything all along and did not even mention anything once?’ she mused. She suddenly felt embarrassed because she hadn’t even thanked him yet after all these years. Shan quickly stood up and slightly bowed her head and said, "Thank you so much for lending me these shoes at that time. I’m really sorry if my appreciation is a bit late... I’m..."

Shan did not know what to say. She heard assistant Ron laugh and said, "Please sit now Shan. That’s okay. You have returned them to me now, though I really wonder what you did with my shoes for so many years."
