Who touched you?

After Kaylar exited Wayne's office she headed towards the direction of the pantry distractedly.

It was hard to discern Kaylar's emotions because her expression remained neutral and indifferent.

She wasn't as calm and composed as she was on the outside. She felt as if her life had ended, she felt like all her hopes of ever achieving all her dreams were crushed. She couldn't possibly get married.

With all these thoughts flooding her mind, Kaylar prepared the coffee absentmindedly, at that point she was trying to process what had happened.

If she could go back in time she wouldn't have signed the contract, alas, there was nothing she could do.

She shook her head in despair as she took the coffee to Wayne's office.

After delivering the coffee, she headed straight to her office to prepare for the day ahead.

Unlike Wayne's office, Kaylar's office was smaller. There was a mahogany table placed at the center of the room which had a swivel chair and two guest seats placed in front.

A white bookshelf was placed behind her desk. It gave the room a formal ambience.

A few pictures were hung carefully on the walls and flower pots were placed at different corners of the room, which brightened the atmosphere.

The office was illuminated by the light that poured from the floor-to-ceiling window.

She surely enjoyed some perks as the CEO's secretary.

Kaylar slumped helplessly on her swivel chair as she glanced towards the floor-to-ceiling window. After a while she turned to her table and released a sigh, her table was stacked with files.

That's what she got for taking time off, with that Kaylar started her work cancelling out any unnecessary thoughts.

…

Time went by quickly and it was lunch break.

Kaylar cleared her table before leaving the office; she was heading out to meet a friend.

Outside the company, Kaylar got into her car and floored the pedal before leaving the company grounds.

Five minutes later,

Kaylar arrived at Ceramika, it was a restaurant she discovered a few weeks ago when she had to work overtime as usual.

She got out of the car and walked into the restaurant.

Inside the restaurant.

"Good day miss, do you have a reservation?" A young man came forward as soon as Kaylar stepped inside the restaurant.

"Yes, I have a reservation under the name Kaylar Harper " Kaylar gave her name as her eyes scanned around the lobby.

"Give me a minute" The young man quickly checked his computer for her reservation.

"Miss Kaylar, I'll lead the way" The young man finally raised his head.

Kaylar followed behind the man as he led her to a private room.

"We are here, miss," The young man gestured towards the door as he spoke.

"Thank you." Kaylar flashed a warm smile at him before entering the room.

The young man stood outside with red ears as a blush slowly crept on his face.

'How beautiful could a person be?' He muttered softly.

He was flabbergasted by Kaylar's look especially when she flashed a smile at him.

She looked like an angel who had fallen from the sky. The young man quickly shook his head to get rid of his thoughts before proceeding to serve the other customer.

…

Inside the private room.

"Hey babes, I waited for so long. For a minute I thought you ditched me!" An excited voice rang out the moment Kaylar stepped into the room.

"Mia, you think I would do that?" Kaylar pulled a seat for herself.

"No, I was just Kidding." Mia stood up and pounced on Kaylar without any reservation.

"Oh Kaylar, I missed you so much, how have you been?" Mia asked as she tightened her hug.

After Kaylar's parents got divorced, she was left heartbroken because her seemingly perfect family was broken. She had no one to turn to and that's when Mia came in and from there, their friendship blossomed.

"Mia, you haven't changed a bit if you keep this up I swear I will die of suffocation." Kaylar struggled in Mia's embrace.

Deep down, she felt happy, she hadn't seen her friend in a long time.

"So tell me how have you been?" Kaylar asked.

Mia worked as a doctor in one of the country's most renowned hospital.

Aside from the good pay and yearly bonuses working at Cedarcrest Hospital was a challenging job, it required top-notch practitioners and highly trained personnel to work at the hospital.

And as Mia was one of the leading doctors in the country she had little time to spare, travelling for one training or the other.

"The usual, it's been so exhausting." Mia replied as she casually picked up the menu to order a few dishes she liked, she then passed the menu to Kaylar to choose any dish of her choice.

After placing their order Mia looked at Kaylar with a gossipy expression. "So how have You been?" Mia intentionally stressed the 'you'.

"Let's talk over the meal" Kaylar evasively replied.

Mia sensed something off but she decided to ask over the meal.

After a while, the dishes were served and they started eating.

"Kaylar, come on, tell me something!" Unrelenting Mia cried out.

Kaylar twirled her fork around the food as she thought about everything that happened over the past few days.

Kaylar gave Mia a blank expression.

"Who bullied you?" Mia asked with a stern face.

Kaylar shook her head.

"Who touched you?"

Mia asked as if she was ready for a fight. She quickly thought of the possible grievance Kaylar suffered in her absence.

Hearing no response from Kaylar, Mia connected it to Kaylar's boss. He always bullies Kaylar so she didn't expect much from him.

"Don't tell me it's that thick-skulled boss of yours!" Mia let out an exasperated sigh before bickering

Kaylar finally nodded her head.

"What did he do this time?" Mia asked after barely calming herself. She knew it, it was no other than Kaylar's boss, he always bullied Kaylar. Mia swore to herself that if she got to meet him one day she would give him a piece of her mind.

Kaylar looked at Mia before narrating her ordeal.
