Aidan looked at her retreating back, stunned. This woman who always complained to him about not giving her time was not pleased to learn that he willingly came to spend time with her. Did she lose her interest in him? Aidan couldn’t stay calm when this thought crossed his mind. He couldn’t lose her, not before he achieved his goal. Because of Erica, he had ignored her a lot, and now it was time to pay attention to her. Otherwise, he might lose her forever. He followed her to the room and asked anxiously, “Abi, my darling… You are mad at me, aren’t you?”
Abigail stopped on her track and turned around to look at him. She wanted to be alone, and right now, the least she wanted to do was talk to him. She exhaled deeply and said, “I am not.” She again sighed and turned her head on the other side, saying, “You are very serious when it comes to the business.
A month had passed in a blink of an eye, and it’s getting hotter and hotter. The sun radiates heat throughout the city M. But the scorching heat couldn’t subside the enthusiasm and eagerness of Abigail. She was happy since morning. She was giggling and humming her favorite tune. One month later, she received a call from Charles, and he asked her to see him. She always wished to call him, but every time, when she went to dial his number, she remembered about his girlfriend and dropped the idea to call him. She missed him, but she couldn’t say it loudly to anyone. So she jotted down her feelings in her diary.All these days, Aidan spent time with her every evening. Abigail tried her best to keep this relationship going, but the love in her heart for Aidan was already dead. She couldn’t love him anymore, and spending time with him had become strenuous for her. She smiled at him and act
Abigail’s heart was beating faster. She was staring at him intensely, trying to figure out what was hidden within his mind. She was eager to know what he was about to say.Charles rubbed her cheek gently with his thumb. It was getting difficult for him to suppress his feelings, and he opened his mouth to confess.Tring… Tring… Tring…He was interrupted by the loud ringing on his phone, and the words he wanted to say remained stuck inside his throat. His hand froze in the air, and he stared at her with complex feelings in his heart. Then he took the phone out of his pocket and looked at the screen, just to see Aidan’s number. He came to his senses and realized that he was about to make a mistake in the flow of emotions. He wiped his face, contemplatin
The receptionist checked the details of the patient on the computer and asked, “Angelina White, right? She was brought here unconscious.”“Yes.” Charles was anxious, and he wiped his face with his palm.“She is in the emergency room.”Charles turned around and rushed to the emergency room as soon as he got the answer. He saw Angelina’s mother sitting on the chair in front of the emergency room. She was weeping uncontrollably.He walked up to her and asked warily, “Lucy, what happened to her? Why did she pass out?” He sat on the chair next to her and looked at her inquisitively.Lucy was just crying harder and harder and couldn’t reply at all. Charles sigh
When Charles reached the general ward, he couldn’t find Angelina in her bed. He didn’t see Lucy either. He frowned deeply and looked around. He asked the nurse about Angelina and learned that she was moved to the VIP ward. Charles’s mood lightened, and he went straight to the VIP ward.He saw Lucy chatting with Angelina happily. Angelina looked weak and pale, but she was smiling, and Charles heaved a sigh secretly. They turned their heads to look at him when they sensed his presence and smiled at him.Lucy looked delighted. She approached him, held his hands, and said, “I am so happy. God has finally heeded my prayers. He sends a man to help us. I am so thankful to that man. See, this morning he arranged to move Lina here. I wish I could thank him personally.”Charles smiled
Abigail’s action didn’t go unnoticed by Charles. He saw the large pink diamond ring on her ring finger. Then his eyes moved to her neck subconsciously to check if the necklace he gave was still there or not. But it was not there. It was replaced by a new golden chain. He pulled back his eyes and looked down at the file in his hands. A smile crept on his lips, but that was not a smile. He laughed at his own thought. What was he thinking? Did he really expect that she would wear it till now? Maybe she dumped it somewhere else and would never take it out for the rest of her life. He nodded in anticipation. Then he picked the intercom up to call Aidan. Just as he was about to press the button, he heard her ask, “Why did you leave the party so early last night?”His hands froze in the air, and his eyes moved to her face instantaneously, only to meet her inquiring gaze. Alth
Charles winded up as soon as the sun sets on the horizon. He made his way to the parking lot and got into the car. He drove straight to the Ambience. It was an upscale restaurant in city M. It didn’t take much time for him to reach there. After he parked the car, he went inside the restaurant and asked the receptionist about Erica Barrett. The receptionist informed him that Erica had already arrived and asked him to go to the second floor.Charles headed to the second floor and saw her seated on a corner table. She also saw him coming and waved at him, wearing a smile on her face. He nodded slightly and walked up to her. Sitting across her, he asked without wasting a second, “What do you want to say?”She chuckled and said, “Let me order some drinks for you.”“
Charles was stunned, and his jaw dropped automatically. He gawked at the departing figure of Aidan until he went out of his line of sight. He let out a chuckle with disbelief, looking in the direction from where Aidan exited the hall. An hour ago, he was disappointed, thinking that Aidan was not interested in that fashion show. But an hour later, Aidan just agreed to attend the show. Charles couldn’t believe it, but at the same time, he was happy. Now he would have to wait until Friday to know the truth.He pulled his phone out of his pocket and typed a message, ‘Hello, Miss Barrett. Mr. Thompson is attending the Wilkin’s Creations fashion show on Friday. You can come to the show.’After typing the message, he sent it to Erica. Then he grabbed the files and walked out of the hall. When he reached his desk, he received
Abigail’s smile froze, and she dropped her hands instantly. She turned around to look back at him, utterly bewildered.“What?” Her eyebrows pulled together while staring at him suspiciously.Charles cracked a smile and approached her one step at a time. “Your face was flushed, and you looked tipsy. I thought you would feel refreshed if you get some fresh air. So I bring you here.”His tone was gentle, and it sounded like a melodious tune to her. She could hear him speaking all the time. He brought her here with this intention. She was happy to know that he cared about her. But still, a few questions arose in her mind. Why did he care for her? Was it because she was his boss’s fiancee or was there something else? She stared at him with confusion. She was eager to know w
