Chapter - 24 : Inner voice
By the time I was ready to leave work, Rose called me and asked me to get some groceries on my way home as she'd forgotten to do so. John decided to tag along and come over after to see Rose. Since Mike had also finished his work, all three of us left for the store. John and I entered the store while Mike went to park the car.
I started grabbing groceries and John left for another section to pick some cookies for Rose. It had been a few minutes and Mike hadn't approached me. I looked around to see if he went to see John first or hadn't even entered the store.
As I scanned the area, my gaze fixed on a familiar figure. It took me a few seconds to recognize him. He was my therapist. My heart dropped to my stomach. He was wearing a white T-shirt and shorts, which was completely different from the formal clothing I had seen him in during my first session.

Day 1"What should we do now?" Rose sighed. "I really hate when this happens."It was a weekend and Rose wanted to go out. She dragged us for a movie date and was angry to see that one of the tickets was assigned in a separate row from the other three."You three go and sit together. I'll take the seat in the next row," I offered.Rose glared at me. "No. How can I let you sit by yourself?""We won't let that happen," Mike added.Before I could react, John said, "First, let's go inside. The movie is about to start."We entered the theater and noticed that the movie had already started. They had already turned off the ligh

Day 2"Surprise!" Rose and I shouted the moment Mike opened the front door.We both chuckled seeing his reaction. His eyes rounded and he looked more shocked than surprised.Both John and Mike hadn't come back last night for dinner. They'd told us that they were busy working at Mike's house. So, Rose came up with an idea to surprise them this morning. It was actually one of her weird ideas to help me complete my assignment."Aren't you going to invite us inside?" Rose asked Mike.Mike blinked. "Sorry... Come in."He stepped aside, making room for us to enter.As we entered, a messy living room welcomed us. There were empty bot

Suddenly, everything became silent. I could only hear the sound of running water from the tap. Mike froze, staring at the plate in his hands.I had been trying to ask him for the past two days. When I finally did it, he was silent.I couldn't help but study his face. I was trying hard to read his expression but my effort was futile. I wished Kelvin was here to help me read Mike's expression.His hazel eyes slowly met mine, which increased the beating of my heart. I gulped as he dropped the plate in the sink. He washed his hands and turned off the tap before standing in front of me.Mike leaned closer to me and placed his hands on the countertop at the sides of my knees. I felt like I was trapped between his hands. He leaned even closer to my face, staring straight into m

"Hey, wake up." Rose pulled my blanket off my body, the start of her morning routine.I couldn't even remember when I had fallen asleep. My eyes were really itchy and I couldn't open them."It's your last day to ask Mike. Get up!" Rose yelled.I hadn't told her yet because she had looked really tired last night. Besides, I hadn't had a good opportunity to tell her.I sat up and tried to open my eyes again. They were stinging."You don't need to worry about that. I think it's official," I said, rubbing my eyes."Official?" Rose repeated, creasing her eyebrows. "Did you...?"I nodded with a smile, ignoring the pain in my eyes. She jumped

It had been really hectic for the last three days as I worked nearly fifteen hours each day. It wasn't just me—the entire company worked hard to finish the new project. Our deadline was Friday.I learned from Mike that there was a slight disturbance with the investors. He didn't tell me much, but I was sure that something was going on.Anyhow, we managed to finish the work before the deadline. Mike just emailed them. He thanked every employee for their immense effort.People hardly went home, just to change their clothes. Rose didn't like sleeping alone in the house while John and I were stuck at the office.When it came to sleeping, most of the employees slept on their desks while I slept on the couch in Mike's office. I didn't know whether Mike slept

I knew I could tell him anything, but... it wasn't easy. I wished it was easy to talk about. Avoiding his gaze, I placed the glass on the coffee table."I don't want to talk about it." My voice was low, barely a whisper.For the next few seconds, silence filled the room. Guilt started to cloud my heart for hiding the truth from him."I'm sorry..." I apologized. My gaze was still fixed on the table.Mike held my arm gently, making me finally look at him. He leaned back against the couch and pulled me into his arms. Confused, I raised my chin to look into his eyes as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders."It's okay." His hand reached my head and started caressing my hair as he added, "You can talk to me when you feel like it.

A loud sound startled me awake. I opened my eyes and couldn’t find Mike in the room. Sun rays beamed through the windows. A yawn escaped from my lips. The sounds continued, so I got down from the bed to check.Walking out of the room, I reached for the stairs but stopped when my gaze fell on Mike and John. They were carrying a large box in the living room. "What are you guys doing?" I asked, climbing down the stairs.Their heads snapped up in my direction. "I told you that you were going to wake her up," Mike growled at John."Oh, please! You’re the one who dropped the box," John retorted back.I reached the bottom of the stairs and approached them."Shut up! It's because

My sleepy eyes grew wide as I watched the news. I knew Katherine had been pissed off last night after watching us in the room, but this was insane."What the hell?" I grimaced. "How could she—""Because she's a bitch," John said through clenched teeth. "I'm sure she is up to something."Seeing how furious John was, I couldn't even imagine Mike’s reaction. He must have been raging with anger."I need to see Mike." I ran into my room to get ready without wasting a second.A few minutes later, I stumbled out of my room in a formal outfit with a handbag over my shoulder. John stood from the couch and walked towards me. He was already wearing his gray suit."Where are you g
