All Chapters of TOO LATE TO WANT ME : Chapter 61 - Chapter 65

Chapter 60Skylar's POVI barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Adrian Cole's face. Or whoever he really was. I pictured the way he'd walked confidently through my company as if he belonged there. And then the conversation with Zane kept replaying in my head."Did he drop anything?""People like that plant listening devices.""Check tomorrow."The worst part was that I couldn't tell whether I wanted Zane to be wrong or right. If he was wrong, then I'd spent an entire night worrying over nothing.If he was right… Then someone had deliberately targeted me. Neither option felt particularly comforting. By the time morning arrived, I was exhausted.I got dressed quickly and headed to work. I hadn't had time to visit Mara at the hospital in the past few days.

The conversation we'd had kept replaying in my mind.The way she'd looked at me.I'm happier than when I lived with you all.The words had been honest. But honesty didn't always feel good. Sometimes it hurt everyone involved.I pushed the thought away. There wasn't anything I could do about it now. The past was already behind us. The only thing I could control was what happened next. So I left the hospital and drove back to work.By the time I arrived, the afternoon rush had already begun. Employees moved through the building carrying folders and samples. Phones rang constantly and meetings started and ended. Business continued.I walked into my office and immediately found Zane waiting for me. He was sitting across from my desk.
