Hearing Vows

CHAPTER 9

"What?"-I asked still shocked by what I've heard.

They've been together for 8 years and Mr. Raymond want an annulment.

" is that why ? Your calling the wedding off too? But why Mrs phyllia?"- for now I shouldn't care about the loss my company would get but the feelings of this woman in front of me whom just got her heart broken.

"Raymond met this girl"-She started , now crying, it is alright since we're in a private room

" He said, he fell at first sight"-She continued and faked a laugh

My heart could feel her sadness and pain.

I walked to hug her and she kept crying while asking what she did wrong for Mr. Raymond to leave her.

"Am I not enough?"-She kept saying.

I continued to comfort her and that was how our conversation ended .

I agreed to discontinue the wedding preparations for them and even gave her a flight ticket to Japan.

I can still feel her anger and sadness, it was the least I could do for a client.

I got into my car and opened my phone

I was shocked to see that Vance had 5 missed calls .

I forgot we were gonna have dinner tonight.

I called him back.

" Hello?I'm sorry, I was busy earlier"-me

"Its fine, I'm having fun right now"-He sounded drunk.

" where are you Mr. Cooper?"-I asked.

"You weren't answering my calls so I had to change my plans for tonight"-he said and I heard a loud bang.

" Hello? Cooper? Vance Cooper can you here me?"-I kept talking.

"Hello, are you this guys friend?"-an unfamiliar voice answered.

" He's wasted. Can you come and get him?"-Man

"OK. OK where is he?"-I asked and took the club address from the guy.

I drove fast and saw him asleep at the bar counter.

Why did he drink?

" Hey, Cooper"-I called but he didn't move an inch.

"Hi, you were the one on the phone?"-the bartender asked.

" Oh yes, thank you for helping me "-I answered.

I asked him to help me get Vance into my car.

When I looked into his pockets I saw a condominium key thats in the same building as mine.

It was just above my floor.

" You live there too?"-I asked talking to the sleeping Vance Cooper next to me.
