Arden’s POV:
“Thank you Ms Whitlock for the opportunity to work with you” A man said as he stood up from his chair.
“The pleasure is all mine Mr Alex, and thank you too for this amazing opportunity ” I said as I quickly shook his hands.
Mr Alex nodded and quickly left the conference room with his team.
I quickly sank deeply into my seat in exhaustion.
Today has been awfully busy.
As soon as I landed, I was quickly called into a meeting and haven’t had the chance to even rest.
I slowly checked my phone.
No missed calls.
That seemed weird.
I had been expecting at least one call from Muse.
“I guess she’s busy” I muttered and slowly massaged my temple’s.
I miss her.
I’ve been thinking about her ever since I left the house.
I couldn’t help but think about the disappointed look Aunty Irene gave me when I told her that I was leaving.
God, I messed up.
And I don’t think Muse will forgive me anytime soon.
But this is for the best.
This is for all of us.
I sighed softly.
“Why don’t I call her” I said as I picked up my phone.
I dialled her number.
It rang.
But she didn’t pick up.
I called her again.
It rang and slowly went into voicemail.
“Fuck” I said softly.
I guess I really made her mad.
But I couldn’t help but think that this was more than just her being mad.
A strange feeling settled in my chest.
Muse always answered. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Even if she was angry.
Even if she wanted to yell at me.
She always answered.
I stared at my phone.
Something felt wrong.
Just as I was about to call Aunty Irene.
Someone quickly knocked on the conference room door.
“Come in” I said softly.
“Ms, we have another meeting ” Amber said as she walked in.
“By which time” I asked with a sigh.
“Now, they’re already here ” she replied.
I groaned.
“Let them in” I said and slowly sat up straighter.
I’ll make it up to Muse when I get home.
But for now, I need to focus on my work.
