Leap OF Fate novel Chapter 11

With such a colossal blow, she cannot help but feel weak. Of all the people she would meet, why would it be him. “I do not fuck dead logs,” she sneered at the recollection. “You don’t fuck women is what you should say. Not that I wanted to sleep with you.”

The driver told her they have arrived, cutting off her mutterings. She paid the fare and quickly alighted from it. Feeling weak and dazed from her realization, she walked to her work station like a zombie. She stared blankly at her monitor. Her mind stuck to the events of two years ago.

She recalled Bryan, specifically that scene in his bedroom a couple of years ago. She shook her head, trying to escape the flashbacks. But the more she tried to stop the memories from coming, the more persistent they became. Unlike her previous flashbacks, where her focus was just on Bryan today, everything faded in the background. It just focused on the person sitting at the edge of the bed, shamelessly savoring what was being done to him.

“Funny,” she said, talking to herself. Funny that she’d see him again, after just witnessing him moaning with satisfaction as her then boyfriend pleasured him two years ago, and then after secretly attending their wedding just a year ago. She found it ironically confusing that the one person she least wanted to see ever in her life turned up out of nowhere. What’s even funnier were the circumstances in which they met.

She cannot help but feel dejected. Every time she tried to be strong and move on from everything, Fate throws something at her to remind her of the past. Although she no longer felt the same amount of pain, she still cannot help but feel a tug in her heart when she remembered the past.

The expression small world seemed like an understatement to her. She felt like she lived in a tiny aquarium. She just needed to turn a little to find herself back right where she started.

“Serene—” Superior’s voice broken off by her thoughts.

“Yes, Mr. Kim?” Serene asked, waking up from her interlude.

“All leaders have an emergency meeting in the conference room. Let’s go up together,” he explained.

“OK.”

The two of them along with their other colleagues cramped inside the elevator going up to the conference room. When they reached the conference room, they each took their seats and settled in.

“What’s going on, Mr. Kim?” She whispered to the man on her right.

“President Nick has an announcement to make, didn’t you see your email this morning?” he explained but felt annoyed with her question.
