As soon as I heard his name, I stopped signing the papers. I put my pen in the pen holder. I sat up straight and folded my hands together. I took a deep breath and exhaled carbon dioxide.
He's back.
Why am I not surprised? I knew there was a reason behind not signing the divorce papers. He wanted to come back and talk everything out. However, there is nothing to talk about. He made his decision, and I have made mine. It's been so long since I saw him. He must have fallen out of love and wanted revenge for taking his son away from him, right? What else is he coming back?
"Emily..." I took a deep breath, "if this is only about-"
"Antonia, I know that this is hard for you. I know that you haven't forgotten about them, and you still love-"
"No! That is where you are wrong! I used to love him, but not anymore," I snapped.
"I know. I was saying that if you don't-"
"Emily shut the hell up! They are nothing to me. One more thing, this is only for business, nothing else. Once this meeting has finished, I do not care what you do-just kick him out of my building. I do not want to see him. Get him out of here as soon as the meeting is over. I do not want to see him anywhere near my son or me. Are we clear?" I walked behind the desk and looked out of the window.
"Take it as if it's done," Emily stated.
"I want to see it done when the time comes," I turned around and glanced at Emily.
"Got it. Boss, Chris-I mean Mr. Anderson called 15 minutes ago," She informed me.
"And why?" I questioned.
"He said it is something important. I told him to leave a message for you, but he said he personally wants to tell you," She answered.
"Okay. Tell my driver to get the car. I will be out in 5 minutes," I notified her.
"Yes, boss. I'll let him know," She smiled.
She got up and walked toward the door. However, I called her, "Emily?"
"Yes?" She turned around.
"Let Mr. Anderson know that I'm on my way," I added with a smile.
"I will let him know," she nodded her head.
Emile walked out, but not before closing the office door. A sigh left my lip as I walked to my desk and sat down. My hands clap together, and my elbow resting on the table. I closed my eyes in exhaustion.
Why do all these things happen to me? The things that I am afraid of the most chances for me. Why does he have to come back? I am not ready to see him. The wall that I have built up for the past year will break down. As soon as I see him, I know I will lose my wall.
Although I cannot give up now, I have worked so far. I will not let him break my wall down. I am not going to break down in front of him. Not after so many years. Not after what I have been through in life. I got up, grabbed my jacket, and headed out. I left the office and headed to Chris's office.
Once I was there, I got out of the elevator and headed inside the office. As I walked in, the first thing that caught my eye was a woman that I thought that I would never see again.
Rachel
What is she doing here? If she is here then he is here too? Knowing this, my heart exhilarates.
