Billionaire, Let's Divorce!

The next day at work, I finally summoned up the courage to talk to Aiden, about everything. I prepared myself to own up and apologize for how I wronged him and hurt him and how I would love to make things right.

When I reached work that morning, I didn't see him come up but when I asked, Rachel told me that he came up early. Due to the trip we had, he had work to deal with just like everyone of us.

That was the thing about going on vacation as an employed person. You have your break, then you return to meet more work.

Every one of the employees that went for the trip, abandoned their job, paired themselves with each if the employee that didn't get to go and started to narrate how the whole trip went to them.

I decided to wait till after work before I would go to Aiden. I didn't know how it was going to turn out so I better make sure there are less or no eyes when I'd talk to him. Besides, even though the whole office now. knows about Aiden being my ex, I didn't want then to overhear our conversation.

I waited till after work and u was restless throughout, even though before then, I had buried myself with work. I did all that needed to be done. Rachel brought in some files, stacked them on top of my desk. and gave me a long look.

I smiled, "Yes, it has."

Oh Good because I don't want to see you bawling eyes out in the office too."

I gaped at her as she turned around and headed to her office. "I didn't

bawl," i called after her, defensively.

"Of course, Anastasia. Of course," she drawled sarcastically as she went out of my view.

I didn't think much about it but I was surprised that she didn't ask me about Aiden. Surely, it must have reached her ears that I announced that

I once dated the boss.

I waited, aware as each minute passed, for the day to end and for everyone to leave. But it felt like eons. It was like the time had been slowed so we'd get more work done. Or maybe it was just me, impatient. to see Aiden, apologize to him and see what happens next.

Oftentimes, I would catch myself, gazing longingly at the elevator does, hoping he would, at least, walk through it so I could see him. But he remained upstairs, working?

Or was he pouring himself into work because of me? At some point, I thought so but then I rolled my eyes and groaned.m and out my head on the table, staring down at my impatiently tapping feet. By this time last week I'd have been seriously fighting for a thought of him to fly past my mind, and now...?

"Gosh, Ana. Everyone's life doesn't revolve around yours," I told myself. He had his life to live too.

With that, I returned to work and didn't lose focus or think about Aiden for the rest of the day. I had the whole night to do that.

At the end of the workday, all the employees exchange pleasantries as the packed up their things. Some of my colleagues who barely looked. my way even walked up to me, greeting affectionately. "Are you done? We could walk to the bus stop together."

"I still have quite a lot to do, thank you," I answered them politely.

I didn't need to be a genius to know what they wanted. More story about Aiden and 1.

When Rachel came down, she stopped abruptly when she passed by my cubicle, a big frown on her face. "You're still here?"

I smiled and shrugged. "These things won't do themselves."

She sighed and looked at me with pity. "Don't over exert yourself, okay? Do what you can and leave the rest. You're doing more than enough already."

"Thank you."

She sighed again, "I'd have loved to wait so I can give you a ride home but I'm really in a rush."

"It's okay, Rachel. I'd be fine. I'd begin to wrap up now."

"Don't stay too long," she warned before she left.

After all the employees had retired for the day and went to their various homes, then it was just me. I packed up my things and tidied up my space then I made my way to the elevator, up to Aiden's floor, fiddling with my fingers.

As I headed for his door, I noticed that the glass wall was open. The blinds weren't down as usual. I came to an abrupt stop when I looked through the transparent glass walls and saw Aiden in his seat, a woman straddling him as they kissed seriously and made out.
