Meeting with Regan

After cleaning my face in the bathroom, I quickly returned to my room.

Dugh!

I winced at bumping into someone. Looking down while walking is not good, and your forehead hurts when you rub it.

"Are you ok?" The bass sound made me look up at Aiden's familiar voice.

He stared worriedly while I quickly hugged him. It doesn't matter if you're still in the office; you really can't stand the pain anymore.

"What's wrong, Netta?" he whispered while rubbing my back.

No longer able to speak, I just cried in his arms.

"What is it, honey?" he said again softly.

I let go of his hug to wipe away the tears. Now my face is not messy anymore. Aiden's soft hand stroked my wet cheek.

"Calm down. Everything is fine," he said, making me smile sweetly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Aiden," I said when I realized where we were right now.

I immediately distanced myself from Aiden and asked permission to go to my room. Aiden was still looking at me with confusion, but never mind. It's also impossible to tell her everything that happened. I finally arrived at my oversized chair and slightly repaired the facial makeup that had been wiped off by my tears.

"Hey, Lo, why?" Sonya popped her head from behind her cubicle, which happened to be next to mine.

"I'm fine, Sonya. I'm just a little tired," I replied.

"Are you sick?" he asked, sounding worried.

"No, it's not like that. Just a little tired today," I replied as quickly as I could before he sent the marketing division into a tailspin with his worries.

"You better rest, or maybe you want some hot tea?"

I shook my head and thanked him for his concern. Sonya finally chose to sit back in her chair.

The image came back. He pinned me up, his hands touching my face, the words in his voice always ringing in my ears.

God, why did it have to be like this? Why did he come back when my life was peaceful with Aiden and Regan? Why did he so easily return to take over and dominate everything? God, I can no longer tolerate any of this.

I rubbed my face in exasperation until my reverie was broken when I heard the sound of an incoming message on my cell phone.

Aiden

You are okay, right?

I'm really not calm and worried about you leaving like that.

I realized that this was too much to make Aiden worry. I immediately replied to Aiden's message and said that I was fine; I was just thinking about Regan. After replying to Aiden's message, I focused back on the work that was waiting for me and tried to banish all the images from my mind.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon; that was a sign that you could go home. All the equipment that was scattered on the table was cleared, and I immediately grabbed the bag. An incoming message. A message from Aiden said he was working overtime because he had a meeting at half past seven with several of the company's shareholders. I understand,, and will go home alone. Aiden has been really busy lately. So it's no wonder he rarely comes to the house or walks me home.

After a while, I also noticed that I didn't see Sonya. Where is he? Usually, if I don't go home with Aiden, he will immediately take me home using the bus or taxi. However, who knows where the child is now? I rushed into the elevator that opened to go down, waited a moment, thinking, Everything passed so fast, then the elevator door opened. I walked into the office lobby and towards the door. However, my steps stopped when I saw that the rain was so heavy outside. I didn't know what to do because I didn't have an umbrella with me, and I couldn't wait for the rain to stop because Regan would be waiting for me.

I had to go through the rain using a bag as a head protector. It nevertheless continued to run along the sidewalk in the wind-swept, heavy rain in order to reach the bus stop.

"Ahh!"
