Remembering that he is in a meeting, Ryan restarined his thumping heart. He looked ahead with a deadpan face. "Hold the meeting!"
With this order, he left the room. He again checked his phone to make sure that the text is from his wife. Confirming that, he is again confused. He is not very fond of texting, cause it takes time to type and the next one, he felt that emotions are not clearly conveyed through messages and is prone to misunderstanding.
So at last, he decided to give her a call.
In the meantime, the meeting room is in a choas.
Their boss, who had never even looked at his phone during a meeting has checked out a text and even stopped the meeting cause of that. This is... definitely a great rumor!!!
One of them said in a excited voice: " Is this the legendary dumping the meeting for the girlfriend moment!!!" His eyes literally sparkled when he said that.
Hearing this, most of the others glared at him.
Sensing the distrust, he explained: "I'm not exaggerating.. It is the common scene in most of the famous web novels today!"
One of the ardent admirer of Ryan refuted him. "Do you think our Boss is like them?? He is the most level headed person I've ever scene. Moreover did you see his expression... Does it really look like a person who got a text from a girlfriend??"
Most of them agreed with this. Their Boss must have received an important text!! It must be the reason. Their great Boss will never leave a meeting for a girl!!
With this thought, the meeting room regained their usual composure.
At the same time, Ryan is waiting for his wife to pick up the call. When the call is about to end, he heard a soft voice saying "Hello"
The voice made him stunned for a second. This is the first time they are having a conversation over a phone.
But still he maintained calm voice. "Reached home??"
His voice is soothing to Amy's troubled mind.
"Mmm" she answered.
" I heard Rachel took you to her office today. How's your first day?"
Amy is surprised. So he knew about that!! "It's good. I learned a lot. At first I was tensed but later I managed."
"Mmm.. ok. Good!"
His words made Amy so happy. She wants to continue their conversation.
"How's work today?" she asked
"Good..not much problem"
"Were you busy when I texted you?"
" Nope..just doing some random things"
Random things!! The answer disappointed Amy. Of course, she doesn't want to disturb his work. But the feeling when someone leaves something important for you is really precious.
She was totally lost in her thoughts forgetting to answer.
Ryan waited for a while. This is his first talking to a woman over a phone, so he really doesn't know how to continue. After a while he just asked: "So... I'll talk to you later??"
His voice brought Amy back. When she spoke with him, his words, the sound of his breath, his voice gave her a sense of security. But as soon as he said the last sentence, her mind blanked. She remembered the words of Rachel.
For some reason, she felt that Ryan is not within her reach. She was afraid. The feel of loneliness that she had experienced in her last life suddenly surrounded her. She was frightening. Before she could react, the words escaped from her mouth. "Ryan.. I'm scared!!"
At the other side, Ryan was shocked. This is the first time that his wife has shown a feeling of weakness to him.
Before he could answer, his secretary interrupted him informing about the stopped meeting. He felt annoyed because of that but he can't make his employees wait for him. Unconsciouslyn, in a stern voice he replied: "Amy.. I'll call you later."
With that he ended the call. On the other hand Amy is totally upset. She has managed to tell her emotions to him now, but he didn't even bothered to answer her.
She felt that someone is pricking her heart with a needle. Her eyes are filled with tears as she curled herself on her bed. She can't take it. She can't believe that Ryan doesn't even care about her. It hurts her too much to the extent that she feels like dying.
