The Runaway Groom's Regrets: Winning Back my Ex-Bride Chapter 21: Want Her Back
A commodious and furnished mansion was seen in front of Daphne's viewpoint, a cozy one she had desired when she was juvenile. The tinted glass door had slid open, making way for her. She entered and saw the bifurcated stairs on the right side, which had a glass handrail. Her gaze lingered as she saw Chuck and Nathan standing at the landing.Smile plastered on Daphne's face as she moved forward and stood in the living room, where she had noticed the presence of Elliot, sitting on the black sectional sofa that could accommodate six people. A black corporate attire was what he had worn, which perfectly matched what Nathan had worn.Daphne had looked back at Chuck and Nathan and saw how they moved down the stairs fast, and as she blinked, they already had in front of her.Chuck's white polo uniform had been tucked on his black pants, with the school logo on the left side printed in blue, matched with his black leather shoes and a white sock that almost reached his knees. He had a black ba

Cirrocumulus clouds formed above the city's skyline. An elevator tone was heeded as Daphne reached the top floor. She faced the door as it slid open, seeing a group of employees standing in front, waiting for her to be out.All were in corporate attire, and their eyes concentrated on her, starting from head to foot, which provoked a chuckle on their faces, a judgment of her clothing inside the ravished office.Daphne stepped into the Carrara marble hallway, about to head towards the lobby a few steps next to the elevator, yet she heard the gossip and how all the ten employees conversed about her."The guard had been reminded not to let any homeless enter the office. Gosh! Look at her clothes!" said the woman whom Daphne had passed.Another woman had covered her mouth and nose using her palms as she smelled something—a mixture of sweat and some seasonings in the kitchen that became a stain on Daphne's precious shirt."Move! Your smell has reached us!" said the other. "What were you doi

Bundles of files and plenty of paperwork were what Daphne worked inside Nathan's office for the whole week, stayed at Nathan's side, and sat in on important meetings that somewhat felt sleepy hearing that business jargon. Her interest was not in that field, yet as a sophisticated girlfriend, she needed to be there, pretending to be an active listener, as she could catch up with every business topic, those growth charts displayed on the screen, their project growth development, and conflicts with the primary office from its local partners and domestic branch.It all gave her a headache, and she somewhat enjoyed the roller coaster challenge inside the company as other employees started hating and laughing. In contrast, others still managed to respect and like her.'They were always that weird. Nothing was wrong with me. I respected them, but that bullshit could not do the same. And that's pretty normal.' Daphne thought. 'I made sure to enter the office elegantly and formally."An estima

The next balmy day came after Daphne left, yet Nathan sat on his swivel chair silently. He was staring at the air, his mind was hovering, and an image of Daphne appeared. Yesterday's scenario kept on flashing and made him worried like hell. Negativity surrounded him, and he could not focus on the duties and paperwork he should have done. A tic-tac sound of the cloud made noise in a grave, silent office, and shrieking noise on the air conditioner at the side made him feel cold.He shook his head and concentrated on working, as he reckoned she might be late or, worse, would come later this afternoon. Many hours had passed by, he had drunk two coffees, but no Daphne appeared. Marveling what was wrong with her, he opened his cell phone as he leaned back into his swivel chair, relaxed for a bit from office work, and texted Daphne.'Hi! May I know why you did not show up? Or why didn't you notify me what happened?' texted Nathan.'Do you face problems again? Tell me, and I might help you so

The tree danced as the air blew, as well as it brushed Daphne's soft skin and made her hair a bit messy. Her eyes were stunned as the familiar voice continued to echo. At first, she thought she was hallucinating, but as time passed, a voice was still heard behind her. Daphne swerved to face it and yet recognized she was not awry."Nathan," she muttered, lingering as her eyes and brows broadened narrowly.Nathan moved forward and stopped before Daphne, panting heavily with a relieved snicker."Thank God! I've been looking for you everywhere!" Nathan said, who went close to Daphne as his eyes stared at her. "No one told me to do such, but I did it for you!"Daphne's jaw dropped, and her heart almost ceased from breathing as Nathan's mixed signals were too visible. An unusual feeling wandered into her nerve, tingling her with those actions she had seen. She blinked a few times, and a smile painted on her lips as no words went out. She did not mind it, despite how it affected her whole sy

“I expected the Kelly Holdings overseas branch to be suspended. It seemed you were not concentrating on your duties, Mr. CEO,” Casper said sarcastically.The temperature had risen, and despite how cold the foyer was, somewhat, Nathan’s heart jumped in resentment. His fingers wrapped around his cell phone’s corner, almost breaking it, as he held it too tight. It formed a manly jawline on Nathan’s face, as well as he gritted his teeth.Casper’s movement was unreadable. If Nathan had noticed it earlier, it would not have reached that far.“I knew what I was doing, Mr. Smith. You were insulting me.” Nathan couldn’t make his voice calm, as it sounded furious. He moved five steps and reached the glass steel railing. Two escalators going up and down, seen in front, and a big ceiling fan, above it, as it slowly turned, to cool the area.The sound of being defeated in the arcade car racing section was heard on Nathan’s standing, as well as the shout of kids playing with it. Also, include the s

It was Saturday. A memo notified Daphne about the scheduled tutorial session with Chuck. She almost had forgotten such; thankfully, she read the notifications. She had prepared all the things needed. From the learning materials and including herself to look presentable. Chuck might have changed his mind and didn't do the session with her. She still had three hours to prepare, so she was not in a rush and could do her morning routine slowly until she was finished taking a bath and ended up standing in front of the mirror to look at herself.Every session was a challenge for Daphne, as she wasn't sure if Chuck would cooperate or not. There were times Chuck chose not to. Thus, she would do her best to get his interest.She wore comfortable yet formal attire, then combed her hair. Admittedly, it gave her a brilliant smile, thinking she could see him again."Nah. I should not have messed with him romantically. I would be there for a tutorial session, not with that shit," she muttered and c

"We're finally here!" Nathan said.An expensive boutique was in front of Daphne, staring at the logo, and a commercial banner on the top, with their lady ambassador, was being printed there. Daphne couldn't stop Nathan from bringing her there, as Nathan wanted her to have a style. Despite how she said she was pleased with her comfortable and not-so-expensive clothing, Nathan insisted on making her more fashionable and a deserving woman for a successful tycoon—Nathan.With no words said, Daphne, followed Nathan inside as they had discussed it back from the mansion with a famous stylist, Ava Alesna, a known stylist in the showbiz industry, as she was one of the sponsors of celebrity clothing and pageants. Daphne's heart started to jump as she bit her lower lips, seeing a woman in her early forties standing from sitting on a sofa as the woman witnessed the arrival of Nathan and Daphne."Was she the woman you had told me?" asked the woman. Nathan nodded and responded, "Yeah. She's Daphne
