The Last Yes Chapter 7
Once I had made up my mind, it was difficult to make me change it.After that, Walter just stood outside the building, waiting for me. He ignored the whispers and stares, insisting he did not want a divorce.However, his words were pointless then. He had made his choice to betray.He should have seen that coming; I had given him plenty of chances.I was done forgiving.For a whole month, Walter stood his ground down there. Every time, he would trail behind me, full of regrets, pleading for me to come back.He was like an annoying fly, and his presence quickly made me a topic of conversation.James caught on to Walter's antics and printed out a mountain of divorce papers for me.Every time we crossed paths, anyone who knew him would shove a copy in his hands.The professor did not want our team's progress to suffer because of that drama, but Walter stuck to us like glue.Because of that, we got up and moved to a different lab near the school.On our first day at the new place
The Last Yes Chapter 6
Walter was the guy who never let work slide, not even when I was in surgery for an ectopic pregnancy. I had to take leave all by myself.Right then, Calvin gave him a ring."We've got a partnership on the line here. What's the rush?"Walter pulled into the airport parking lot, looking all kinds of troubled."Melissa has left the country.""To seal the deal on the partnership?" Calvin sounded confused, but he could not shake off a sinking feeling."Is this about what you guys warned me about before? My vibe with Janet? That we're too cozy?"After Walter let that out, all he got back was a quiet hum on the other end.Was there anything left unclear? It hit him that he was the only one who had not seen the truth."I blame myself. Ever since Janet returned, I couldn't stop myself from wanting to take care of her like we were kids again."She leans on me so much. She needs me there to do just about anything right."I should've put distance between us a long time ago."I don't wa

Janet's lips puckered in a pout. "I did it, worked on it all night."Walter's mouth hung open, words failing him.He was the one who had brought Janet in as an intern, figuring some experience would make her next job hop smoother.Janet's lip quivered, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Walter, I'll fix it..."If Melissa hadn't insisted it was due today, I wouldn't have rushed it. Maybe I shouldn't have taken this job."With that, she clutched the proposal and made for the door.Walter lifted a hand to halt her, but his thoughts were hijacked by the image of another face.Melissa was never the type to look so down and out. She was always so composed, always sure of herself. No matter how tricky the problem, she had a knack for figuring things out, not moping around with a gloomy face.Whenever there was a clash of ideas, she would break it down, piece by piece, making her case.Like that time he was all gung-ho about bringing Janet on board, Melissa had a whole list of re

I did not want to pick up or text back. I just silenced my phone and let it blink away.Our relationship was done for good.Over at Janet's place, Walter freaked out when he got my message.He bombarded me with calls and texts.[What are you saying? Don't we have, like, a zillion forgiveness cards? Stop overreacting!][Is it because I wasn't there? Just wait; we'll talk when I get back.][Why aren't you picking up? Melissa, you can't just shut me out, even if you're mad.][Pick up the phone! I'm telling you!]He could not believe I would give him the silent treatment, and he kept texting me.Walter's fingers flew over his phone's screen, his heart pounding as he dialed number after number, sent text after text. No answer. A knot of worry tightened in his chest."Why isn't she picking up? We promised no hard feelings," he muttered to himself, pacing the room.He thought back to all the times he had played the forgiveness card, how it felt like I was just going through the mot

I dumped the clothes by the door, ready to ship them off to the dry cleaner, then headed back to my room.Walter lit up like a Christmas tree when he saw me. "That's my girl, quick as a whip. Make sure Janet's favorite dress comes out spotless, will ya?"I gave a quick nod, ready to pamper my skin with a new face mask.I took the tablet from the nightstand and dove into the latest episode of my favorite series.Walter was glued to his phone, fingers flying as he texted away, probably chatting with someone.Out of nowhere, a message alert flashed on the tablet. Curious, I tapped it.Oops. It seemed Walter's messenger was still logged in.[Walter, you're the best at picking out treats. It's been ages since I've had pastries this good.][The place was packed. You really went out of your way.]Walter shot me a quick look, still typing like a man on a mission.[If you're happy, that's all that matters. I'll snag some more for you next time.][Perks of having a sister like you!]

No sooner had he spoken than Janet was by his side, clutching his arm."Walter, my foot is killing me. Can we speed it up?"His suit jacket was thrown over her shoulders, her frail frame leaning into him.Walter did not even glance at me, pale with pain, as he effortlessly lifted her into the car's front seat."Make sure you're comfy, and don't jostle your injury."Once he had settled her in and was ready to hit the road, he finally noticed me."We grew up together, so she's like a sister to me. You head home."I flashed him a wry smile. "Yeah, 'sister'."I quickly added, just in case he thought I was ticked off, "You've played the forgiveness card, I'm not upset."Walter looked like he wanted to say more but fell silent.Janet let out a sharp hiss of pain, and he immediately turned to check on her."We've got to go."With that, he drove off, leaving me standing at the hotel entrance, straightening my clothes.Back at home, I pulled out the so-called forgiveness card from
The Last Yes Chapter 1
This was supposed to be a night of celebration, the grand banquet hosted by our company's biggest client.However, for me, it was the seventh day after surgery for my ectopic pregnancy.Janet Porter, Walter Jones's childhood friend, flung the cake at the company's client, covering his clothes in frosting.Walter's first move? He checked on Janet, of all people, as if she were the one who had taken the hit.Then, his eyes found mine."Melissa, go and apologize to Mr. Coleman."I stared at him, dumbfounded.The client's representative was scraping off the frosting, his expression twisting into a scowl."Great, so your company is into passing the buck! The one who owes an apology is playing hide-and-seek."Janet's eyes were brimming with tears, yet she clung to Walter like a damsel in distress.Walter wrapped his arms around her, his gaze on me then icy and commanding."What are you waiting for? Apologize, now!"Make a toast to Mr. Coleman, for starters. We can't afford to mes
