Although the familiar and large office building of Jessen’s & Hill’s loomed over me, it was still hard for me to believe and accept that I was back here when I was supposed to be enjoying my long-awaited holiday with Ace. Ace had already disappeared from sight, and I was utterly alone. I stared up at the tall building that loomed over me and for some reason I recalled the first day when I came here.
It all felt like so long ago…
I should head home. There’s nothing for me to do here so I might as well head back to my apartment to get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a Monday and that meant that a bunch of grilling work was waiting for me. Resting up and preparing myself mentally and physically for that might not be a bad idea. I took in a deep breath before letting it out slowly to renew my determination.
I thought of Ace’s words when we watched the sunset together. I’ll definitely get through this and then we’ll go on many more trips together and I’ll makes sure that we get to see beautiful sunsets together in so many different places.
With my mind made up, I turned around to leave. Now if only I can get a cab, life would be perfect. I had no idea that there was an unfortunate surprise waiting for me almost the moment that I turned around.
I saw a taxi approaching and I immediately lifted my hand to flag it down. The car came to a stop right in front of me and just when I was reaching for the door, the door opened to my surprise. My surprise turned into shock when I came face to face with the man who had just stepped out of the taxi.
“Kyle?!” I called his name so loudly as I jumped back in shock.
My hand flew to cover my open mouth as I gasped. I couldn’t believe that of all the people that I had to run into, I had to run into him. A very familiar stared at me with an equally surprised look.
“Rina…” he murmured my name.
How many times have I told him not to call me that anymore?
“Kyle…” I murmured as we stood staring at each other.
A moment must have passed by because the taxi driver honked his horn at me as if to ask if I still needed his services.
“She doesn’t need a ride anymore. Please leave…” Kyle yelled loud enough for the driver to hear.
All the while, he kept his eyes glued to mine. My heart raced in my chest at this unexpected development.
Kyle is here. Why?
What is he doing here at Jessen’s and Hill’s and on a Sunday of all days?
“Why are you here?” I snapped as I narrowed my eyes suspiciously at him.
He’s not here to steal any more corporate secrets, is he?
“Rina…perfect. Come with me,” he said while completely ignoring my question.
His hand reached out so quickly that I couldn’t dodge it and grabbed my elbow and began pulling me after him.
“Wait!” I called out loudly.
What is he doing? Where is he taking me?
