Ruined

chapter 2

Asami

What the hell was that I thought as I reentered my office.

Airi Rido had kissed me worst off I kissed her back.

I could feel myself began to hyperventilate at the realization of what exactly I had done.

I tried to replay the afternoon over and over to find where I messed up.

We had finished talking about the contract and concluded our lunch by talking about our companies. We had so much in common.

I felt myself flinch at the memory.

So much in common that we connected instantly. I was so stupid to continue the conversation. I was so stupid as to allow her to flirt with me when I knew I was married, but sometimes in business, a little flirtation was ok.

A buzz on my desk caught my attention.

I read the text message as it appeared on the screen.

"Meet me tonight. Let me finish what I started."

I threw the phone across the office and curled myself into a ball in my chair.

"I'm so sorry Korra."

Korra

It was late into the evening and Toshi hadn't come home. He was never late and always called if he was going to be.

I shrugged my shoulders. Toshi is a teenage boy, and now that he has a girlfriend I'm sure time slips by him.

I went back to the gym and continued my training. I might be a mother of a teenager, but that didn't mean I let my body get soft.

I was working the bag when I heard the gym door open.

I turned and saw Toshi completely distraught and next to him, Veronica Higa. Her worried looked never left him as she pulled him up to me.

"Mrs. Sato. Toshi needs you."

I looked at her confused then at my son. His eyes were empty. Whatever had happened it had hurt him far worse than I had ever seen.

"What happened?" I asked looking at Veronica.

She bit her lip, but before she could answer Toshi's tall form was hugging me, and he was crying.

"I'll ask Lee to take me home," she said as the butler walked in. I nodded as I wrapped my arms around Toshi.

He was just 16, and my head only came to his chest. He was built like his grandfather, and with an attitude like mine, he was never one to show this much emotion.

"Hey, little cub, what's wrong?"

He didn't answer but kept crying. His body shook almost violently and I all I could do for him was hold him and try my best to soothe him.

He never told me what was wrong, but after a good thirty minutes of me holding him, he decided to go to bed.

I was so worried. It wasn't a problem with Veronica because she was here with him and seemed to be trying to help him. So, what could it have been?
