Hey! I Want You Back のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Elena's drive to Montgomery & Co. was slow-paced. After the heated exchange with Victoria, she needed to let go of the emotions that had built up. The city of Ridgewood was really beautiful. And because of her work, she had not had so much time to appreciate the scenery. The beautiful trees that were planted to reduce the intake of carbon monoxide, the smell of the morning breeze, the early morning activity of the citizens of Ridgewood City all helped to improve her mood. And suddenly, she was set for a great day's work. The meeting with her supervisor, Mr Callahan, was to start by 10 am. It was just 15 minutes past 9 am when Elena drove into the company's garage. "Morning, Miss Carter," the garage's security personnel, Tom said as Elena got out of her car. " Morning, Tom. You look well." She said smiling. "So do you. I will have your keys to you soon." "Thank you." She said as she walked into the office with so much elegance. As she walked onto the reception, the cool breeze

As they walked into Ridgewood Medical Center, the air felt heavy-too heavy. They could feel the walls pressing in. The scent of antiseptic and sterile air filled their lungs. They could hear the faint voices of the doctors speaking, the nurses moving as quickly as their legs could take them. Even the murmurs of the patients could be heard, though inaudible. The hospital looked clean and modern. It didn't look half as organized as the one in West Haven, but it just had to do. They walked towards the middle aged woman who sat at the reception desk. The tag by the top left corner of her overall read 'Agnes'. "Hi, Agnes. I would like to see a doctor." She said. "Hello there." She said smiling. "Are you feeling good?" "Yes, I am fine, but my daughter isn't." She said with worry etched on her face. "Do not be worried, ma'am. She is in the right hands. I would just need you to fill out this form." Agnes replied trying to make the woman in front of her feel better. "Uh, what's the name?"

The sound of the applause roared through the board room in Montgomery & Co. as Adrian stood to make a speech. "Good morning everyone. Well, I have to say I am extremely impressed by all of your work. I decided to see what Montgomery had to offer when they pitched the idea for a state-of-the-art high-rise. Believe me, it is nothing like I have ever seen before. And I am glad to say I would be glad to invest in this project." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, everyone present in the board room stood to their feet as the room burst into applause, sealing the moment of success for Montgomery & Co. Elena was as glad as any other person in that room but yet he maintained her poise. At that moment, it was impossible to read her mind. Fixing his gaze on her, Adrian wondered if she still had any feelings for him as she wore a blank expression on her face. As soon as the meeting ended, Adrian walked briskly across the room hoping to have a conversation with Elena. But Elena saw

As the clock struck 10:45 PM, the rain taps could be heard audibly as it hit the windowpane. At this time, Aria was asleep, Sophie was busy with her book in her room and Elena was on the edge of her bed with her journal in her hands, flipping through the past pages. As she flipped through the pages, something caught her attention. The ink on the said page was slightly faded. "He bought us two tickets to a jazz night I casually mentioned once, and he was not even a fan of jazz. I caught him watching me more than he listened to the music so many times that night. It was that night I knew. It was that night I knew he loved me. And that scared me more than anything else. I did not know how to hold something that felt so big. A small laugh escaped her lips, watery and real. She remembered the way he leaned towards her that night. It was as if the music gave him a bit of courage- enough to close the distance between them. Tears welled up in her eyes. They were gentle and unhurried. These

Sunlight steamed through the curtains and cast golden patches across the living room floor. Aria sat cross-legged on the rug right in front of the television. Her concentration was fierce as she stacked brightly-coloured building blocks onto a tower that looked like it was going to fall anytime soon.Elena sat on the couch still in her pajamas. Her legs were tucked beneath her. Sophie handed her a steaming cup of tea and for herself a steaming cup of coffee. She sipped her cup of coffee as she lazily flipped through a digital movie catalog on the tablet on her lap."I was thinking we could have a movie night this evening just before bed time." Sophie said.Just then, Elena's phone buzzed on the coffee table by her side. She picked it up and as soon as she did that, she read the content of the message she had received."Charity brunch. Today. 11 AM," she said.She heaved a sigh as she silenced her phone.Sophie giggled. "Do you plan to ghost Callahan's networking opportunities? He's de
