Too Late To Apologize, Mr. CEO Chapter 132 - Claire’s POV
“Thank you for seeing me at such short notice,” I said. All the way to the office I’d felt a small lump of nervousness in my throat. I’d never visited a psychiatrist before, although I’d seen plenty of them in movies. Doctor Monroe turned out to be the furthest thing from Hannibal Lecter I could imagine. He looked like a teddy bear. He was maybe in his mid-fifties. Slightly shorter than me, with curly dark hair, round cheeks, and a soft salt-and-pepper beard. Warm brown eyes that looked at me with sly humor through wire-rim glasses.His office had a wall of books on one side—books that looked like they’d actually been read. In the center of the room plush armchairs were grouped around a coffee table.Next to them was a couch. “So do I lie down?” I asked, clutching my purse tightly.“You can if you want to,” he said with a smile. “Or we can sit in the chairs if you prefer?” I preferred. The chairs were as comfortable as they looked. “So what’s going on with you?” he asked. “Laura

“Please open the door, sweetie,” I said, desperately hoping she hadn’t done anything drastic.Silence. “I have a key, you know.” I said. “I don’t want to use it, but I will if I have to. Just let me see that you’re okay and I’ll leave you alone.” All the while I was talking I was mentally kicking myself. Savannah had told me about her and Victor and Santorini while we were locked up in that warehouse. The city had a special meaning for them. I’d forgotten all about it… then thoughtlessly blurted it out at the worst possible moment. “I’m sorry I mentioned it. You know—that place. I never meant to make you feel bad. I didn’t even remember you told me about it. It’s a gorgeous city. Anybody would want pictures of it on their wall.”“Oh, stop babbling.” Savannah was standing in the doorway. Her hair was a bird’s nest and she looked like she’d been crying. “Savvie!” I threw my arms around her, practically crying myself. “Let me go.” She wriggled away irritably. “You’ve seen me. I’m f

“Sav?” I knocked on the door. “Savannah? How are you doing, sweetie? I brought you coffee.”She opened the door in her robe, bunny slippers on her feet. “Can I come in?” I didn’t actually wait for an invitation, just handed her the coffee and nudged my way in while she was distracted. I’d learned that move from Laura.I looked around as unobtrusively as possible. Savannah’s hair was brushed, but she wasn’t wearing any makeup. I don’t think I’d ever seen her without makeup before. She liked to wear a little bit, even at home.The cottage was clean and neat. There weren’t even any dirty dishes in the sink. I didn’t know if that was because Savannah was good about cleaning up, or if she just wasn’t eating. She’d be losing weight naturally right now anyway, so it was hard to tell. I tried to make sure she ate at least one meal a day with us. She stood near the door, sipping her coffee. “You want to check the bathroom?” she asked. “Maybe I’ve got drugs in there.” “What? Of course not!”

I cleaned up the pastry crumbs and considered the problem. What could I do to help my sister? She’d never listened to me. I washed the dishes and decided the only thing I could do was be there for her. Give her a safe, quiet place to heal. I sent her a quick text telling her I was going out. She had a key if she wanted to come in and watch TV or anything. ***I looked around the strip mall, trying to find the place Ryan had recommended. “Don’t expect to get a black belt or a trophy. She’ll teach you how to survive. You’re pretty tall for a girl, but you’re still at a big disadvantage fighting a guy. You don’t want fancy katas. You want to inflict maximum damage, run away, and live to fight another day.”I’d stared at him. The teacher must be impressive. That was the most words I’d ever heard come out of his mouth. Found it. It was a small door with a sign on it saying Personal Safety Classes. I walked in and looked around nervously. It smelled like a gym—rubber mats, old sweat,

“Hello hello hello!” Laura caroled. She barged past me into the house, handing over the bag of pastries without turning her head. “I want to see what they did.”Behind her followed Ryan, carrying a container of drinks. At least he nodded politely before giving them to me. “There’s an Earl Grey matcha latte there for Savannah,” he said.“Where’s the tiny house?” Laura said. “In the back yard, right?” She darted towards the French doors, but I got in front of her before she could open them.“Not a good idea,” I said. “We usually wait for her to come out. Savannah is not a morning person.”“The latte should fetch her out,” Ryan said. “I texted her before we came over.”“Then we can wait,” I said. I put the drinks on the kitchen table and dug out a plate for the pastries. “We can sit down, eat this lovely food, drink our delicious coffee, and you can tell me what’s been going on with you two. The last I heard, you guys were broken up.” “Yeah,” Laura said. They glanced at each other, and

“Mommy, look at it!” Emma said. Her voice would never be melodious, but she seemed to be quacking less than usual. “It’s beautiful… just like you, Auntie Sav.” She looked at me, her eyes shining. Little suck-up. I couldn’t help smiling nonetheless. Maybe it was just me, but both of the children seemed to have become significantly less annoying over the past week. They were making an effort to be nice to me, for one thing. When we were in New York Emma had taken my hand, looked me dead in the eyes and lisped, “Thank you for saving my mommy, Auntie Savannah.” Sickening. The place was nice, though, I had to admit. It was small, but the vaulted ceilings and skylights gave it a feeling of light and space and air. The front door opened onto the living room area. Plush gray linen sofa opposite a small freestanding fireplace. Hardwood floors. Cream-painted walls. There was a kitchenette to one side, featuring cabinets and appliances in matching cream, and an island with two barstools. “Lo

I leaned against the wall, legs trembling with nervous reaction. Tonight was supposed to be my triumph. And indeed things were going well. Unfortunately, that had upset both my sister and my ex-husband, and they’d felt the need to make their feelings my problem. Now I was stressed out and exhausted

Mrs. Sutton was packing up the last of the vanity, neatly placing Savannah’s expensive skincare serums in a box. She kept her face neutral and professional, but my housekeeper had never liked Savannah. I could see the satisfaction in the way she wrapped the tape around the boxes, sharp and final.

I walked back into the ballroom, ignoring the music and the high society donors in their best formal wear. I was looking for a waiter. Spotting one across the room and heading over, I nabbed a glass of champagne and gulped it down. The next glass received the same treatment. Then I picked up a glas

When I walked back into the house, Savannah came to meet me with a determined smile on her face. “Savannah,” I said. “Who’s Victor?” I put my hands in my pockets and looked casually around the kitchen. “I happened to overhear your phone call as I was walking past.”Her smile vanished and a hunted
