Lily woke upon hearing the sound of voices. She went by her window side and saw Dilan discussing with two other men and Rhys. He looked up and saw her then he entered the car without even waving at her. The car drove out and she closed the curtain. She found tears pouring down her face and splashing on a paper next to the side of the desk beside her window. She quickly reached for a tissue.
She wasn't going to enjoy this new lifestyle if she was going to burst into emotional tears at any slight attitude she received from him. She thought grimly. Yet, why not? wasn't this part of the freedom, to be allowed to feel and to love and not to be scared to show emotion. Her thoughts drifted to the paper she had tinted with her tears. She opened the letter on it wrote
"Dear wife,
Am sorry I couldn't wake you up to say my last greetings before I left because I knew if I did you won't let me embark on my journey but don't worry just think of me as if I am right there with you.
Dilan."
She became partly consoled and got up from the bed. She thought maybe she could use this time to find herself something to do to distract her mind from Dilan. She freshened up and left the house without her breakfast.
"To where Miss?"
She glanced at Rhys she had thought maybe Dilan had ordered him to watch over her.
"Was she a baby?" she thought
"To see my parents," she said with a smile.
He bowed and opened the door for her. She entered and he drove her to their home.
Mrs. Wen was surprised to see the car that had parked in front of her house. But when she saw the lady that came out her joy knew no bounds.
She hugged lily so tightly she could feel her bones crush. After a lot of pleasantries, lily decided to open up about why she was here
"Dad...I think I want to take over again"
Her Dad looked at her
"Are you sure?"
She nodded
"Okay," he said plainly. Lily was excited.
There had a chit-chat for an hour or two and lily went home. Before she went to her room she told Rhys that she'll be traveling tomorrow. He nodded
The next day they traveled. Lily was excited to be back in her company.
As she walked in everyone stood shocked, they hadn't expected to have seen her so soon. They had even thought she had left for good but they were happy that she was back. At first,, when lily walked in she felt the atmosphere tense up but when they had all caught sight of her their shoulders dropped. She felt her father must have been harsh on them and that was why there were on alert when they saw her walk in.
She smiled faintly at them and walked up to her elevator which took her to her office. Alta was shocked when she saw lily, tears of joy fell from her eyes. Lily hugged her which even added to her shock but relieved her.
Lily knew Alta had a lot of questions she would want to ask but she smiled at her assuring her that all was fine.
She went into her office which retained its coldness but was still organized. Her dad had taken care of a lot of issues so she was less busy. Her phone rang
"Miss lily...A woman Wendy Xei wants to see you"
"Let her in," lily said trying to hide the excitement in her tone
Her door screeched open and wendy walked in.
"Lily?" she called out and ran to hug her. She had changed a lot.
"I Missed You" lily spoke up
"me too lily" Wendy sobbed
"Please have your seat," Lily said jokingly
Wendy smiled at her
"Yes miss Thor. So how's your husband?"
"He's good"
Lily sighed the ring on Wendy's finger, wendy traced her line of sight
"I got married last week"
"And I wasn't invited?"
Wendy didn't know how best to explain to a jet friend that the reason why she didn't was that she was scared of her husband
"You don't have to be" lily responded as if reading her mind
"Am sorry lily"
"It's no problem" lily smiled
"So who's the lucky man?"
"Ace", Wendy blushed
"Nice" Lily replied as she laid back on her seat
"How did you find me here?" lily added
"Well.....your miss Thor and there's been a photo of you going around the web"
Lily's brows twitched
"You're a celebrity you know?"
"Still an invasion of my privacy"
"You'll get used to it my dear"
The two went out for lunch when Ace called. He drove to the restaurant to pick Wendy up
"Sweetheart....oh..lily Thor" Ace bowed
"Stop it ace," lily said with a smile.
"I don't want sir Dilan to cut my head off you know...hehe"
"Come on" Wendy spoke up.
"Wanna join us?" wendy added as she stood up to leave.
"No you two should go and enjoy yourselves"
Wendy hugged lily and held her husband's arm as they walked out. Lily sighed as the thoughts of her moments with Dilan flashed in her head.
"Shall we go ma'am" Rhys's voice rang disconnecting her from her thoughts? She nodded and picked up her bag.
