Part 2 Chapter 20

Unlike Kaiser, Carson was the sweet guy who would wake up first to make me breakfast, that part of Kaiser which was forgotten. At one point, Kaiser was sweet and caring but when we came to this new place, this part of him had dwindled away and vanished.

I stayed away from the office for three days after that rainy night, waking up with an awful cold. Surprisingly, Carson accompanied me home nursing me while his sister went to the office and worked on the project with Kaiser.

This was completely opposite of what I had planned. Kaiser’s partner, me, did not come to work and even Kaiser’s brother-in-law and director of the project partner, Carson was absent. Rumours sprouted about the office, although I had no idea of their origin.

“I’m not in the mood for a meal.” I turned my head away when Carson came in with his homecooked meal. In fact, Kaiser had been calling me non-stop all day so I had to switch my phone to aeroplane mode and turn on the wifi. But I knew he was smarter than that.
