Ryan rushed to the meeting room after ending the call with his wife. His mind is in a serious mess. The voice of Amy trailed into his mind. He wishes to meet her, but the meeting has to be taken care of first.
As soon as he entered the room, everyone turned their heads towards him expectantly. But all they heard is a cold voice.
"This meeting.... is adjourned."
Before they could react, their boss left the room.
Everyone had a dazed look on their face.
What's happening?? This is the first time their boss had done something like this. Is something wrong??
Poor them!! None of their doubts were cleared and they can only make some random guesses.
Ryan hurried out of his office and started his car.
His mind is making countless assumptions regarding Amy's sudden words. He tried to calm himself down while driving. Once he reached Rachel's house he literally ran towards the door.
After pressing the doorbell he waited impatiently.
Rachel is genuinely surprised to see Ryan, when she opened the door. But before he could enquire him, he interrupted her.
"Where's Amy?"
Sensing that something is wrong, Rachel pointed to the steps: "Upstairs"
Even before she could finish the word, Ryan walked pass her. Rachel wanted to follow him but was stopped from his cold voice: "Don't"
Rachel is bit irritated. This is her place.. Who is he ordering?? This brat... I'll take care of him later.
In the meantime, Amy is still curled up on her bed. She doesn't want to get up. Moreover, she felt dispirited. She knew that Ryan must have some work to do so he had hung up on her.
But somethings are known to your brain, but your heart will not able to accept it.
While thinking about this, suddenly she heard the knocking sound at her door. Reluctantly, she got up to open the door thinking that it is Rachel.
As soon as she opened the door, her eyes widened upon seeing the person opposite to her. Before her brain could react she moved forward and rested her head on his chest.
The pain the she has been experiencing for the past half an hour suddenly seemed to have dimmed. She wanted to cry but holded it in.
Ryan too is taken aback upon seeing his wife's action. This is the first time that she has taken the initiative to be near him.
Because of her action, he seriously felt that something must have happened at her new job.
Instinctively, he hugged her gently and asked: "Amy!! You ok? Did something happen at the office??" Seeing his wife this weak hurt him a lot.
But to his surprise, Amy said: "You hung upon me!!" Her voice had a tinge of complaint in it.
"...."
Ryan is surprised at his wife's complaint. He never thought that his thoughtless action will affect her.
After blanking out for a second he replied: "I've to take care of a meeting...Sorry... I didn't know" He is bit guilty knowing that he is the reason for her current situation.
"Meeting?? You said you were just doing some random things when I asked you" Amy asked in a suspicious tone.
"...."
Ryan just told that to make her feel comfortable. He never expected that it'll come back to haunt him. He swallowed his saliva. Since it has reached this, it's better to tell that truth.
"I was in meeting when you messaged me."
Amy looked up to see Ryan's face. With a surprised face, she asked: "You...called me in the middle of a meeting!!"
Seeing that her husband nodding his head in agreement she broke out from his embrace.
"You shouldn't have done that!!"
Ryan just looked into her eyes without replying.
That is her first message, how could he ignore it?
Sensing his gaze, Amy averted his eyes. Her heart in screaming in joy, though her words didn't show it.
He stopped a meeting for HER!!! That itself makes her feel precious.
"So why are you here??" She asked in a soft voice. Getting no response, she again looked at her husband. Seeing that he is still looking at her, she blushed a little and lowered her head.
"I was worried." A serene voice penetrated her heart. In truth, she already knew the answer. But hearing it directly from him makes her feel happy.
The room was silent for while until Amy broke.
She raised her head, and met her husband's gaze. Then she suddenly said: "I want to know about you."
Ryan's eyes flickered a little upon hearing this. Usually, his wife never cared about his background but suddenly she seems to be interested.
So he just pretended as if he had not understood her question.
"Know about me?? You already knew"
"I want to know who you are and about your family."
Her strong voice resounded inside the room.
