All Chapters of REGRET UNTIL SHE SAYS GOODBYE : Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

SARA’S POVMy fingers toyed with the fabric of my cloth. I was nervous and try as much as I could to hide it, it still showed.“I wasn’t trying,” I said quietly without glancing at Alaric. “I was just trying to avoid making a scene.”“Sara.” He muttered, eyes digging into me gently.“When someone makes you uncomfortable, that’s not the time to act politely towards them. You either make it known that their presence makes you uncomfortable or you walk away.He wasn’t reprimanding me, he didn’t even sound chiding but I looked away. The chandelier above us blurred for a second, not from tears, just from the sudden tightness behind my eyes.“Right,” I whispered and pressed my lips together. “You do have a point.”“I make more than a point Sara, you should listen to me.” He didn’t touch me but he drew closer. “If that bastard ever approaches you again, call for me immediately. If I’m not there, place a call.”My brows lifted and even my eyes widened in surprise. It was my first time hearin

SARA’S POVMy hotel room was very silent, so much so, u felt like I could feel my thoughts bounding off the walls.I'd done nothing beyond going around, mingling and networking but fatigue somehow burned deep into my bones at the end of the day.I sank into my bed and with slowly kicked off my heels and rubbed at my aching ankles for a minute.While doing that, my thoughts strayed and I glanced ahead, staring blankly into space.Laurent’s words kept replaying in my head. “You should be careful who you embarrass.”Just recollecting it made me shiver.My phone buzzed on the bedside table, and I jolted upright at the sound and glanced over at it before leaning over to pick it up.When I saw the name flashing across the screen, my heart thudded.It was Derek.It wasn’t until I picked it up that I realised that he had called a few more times before that.One missed call.No message.My lips pursed and even without thinking too much, I could already guess why he had called.Daneille.I star

THIRD PERSON’S POV Sara moved robotically around the workspace given to her, trying to trace her steps back and also retrace her memory to see if she was missing something or had somehow glossed over an important piece of information.She looked through the overturned papers again and the scattered paperworks, trying to see if the missing files had gotten lost in the pile but even after searching over and over again, she found nothing.Straightening on the spot, she bit down on her lip, thinking hard about what to do. The files were very important and contained delicate information about the collaboration and they had been entrusted to her acre just a day ago and now they were gone.How was she to explain that to anyone? Even worse, she had no one to blame but herself, for believing that the Reinhart employees wouldn't dare to do anything that would constitute a loss to their company."What have you even learnt from your past situations?" She muttered under her breath, chiding hersel

SARA’S POVI walked down the corridor in silence with Alaric, unknowingly matching my steps with his while walking behind him.His steps were slow and he wasn’t rushing but I still lagged behind him, because I was purposefully choosing to slow down my steps.Earlier, he had shown me a different side to him, one that I had never seen before and now, it made me unsure what to say to him.What if I said the wrong thing and intensified his anger?He led me to a small conference room at the far end of the hall, holding the door open for me so I could walk in first.I did.Inside, I glanced at the numerous empty chairs and chose to remain standing instead. We didn’t come here for a meeting…Honestly, I had no clue what he’d called me here for.All I knew was that it had to do with the internal audit that most likely would be called against me. To think that I wasn’t even an original employee of Reinhart and yet, I was already being antagonized .A sudden thought came to mind then, and it mad

THIRD PERSON'S POVDerek stood for several seconds in the doorway that led to Danielle's room, phone still in hand.Danielle had finally obediently gone to bed, after speaking to her mother like she had been pleading to all day long.He hadn't even needed to pacify her before she'd jumped into bed giddily herself and pulled her blanket high up her chest, muttering with childish excitement, "Daddy, mommy said she misses me too."Derek had nodded in acknowledgement of her words but he couldn't bring himself to return Danielle's smile.He was still stuck on Sara's voice and her tone while they conversed.With him, she usually always lacked enthusiasm and he had gotten used to her voice lacking warmth but it was different with Danielle.The warmth her voice didn't hold for him was always present for Danielle, but tonight, he failed to recognize that warmth in her voice.She sounded tired, but beyond the fatigue, something about her seemed odd.The last of their conversation returned to hi
