Chapter 21

🦋Eventually, all the pieces fall into place... Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moment, and know that everything happens for a reason.🦋

It was another day you were at the large and well-known building, known as your job.

It felt like it's been a while since you had talked to Ray. You wanted to talk to him but you didn't know how to approach him, nor did you know what to say or how to present yourself.

You didn't want to seem like a stalker of any sort. Especially by bringing up his situation with what he has going on inside of his personal life. By you coming out of the blue, saying that, 'Hey! Whatever is going on between you and your mother, it's going to be okay.

You wouldn't be surprised if he gave you the side-eye and be alarmed because how did you know about his situation? Multiple questions would pop up in his mind as his dark charcoal eyes would scan you from head to toe, judging you.

Even though you didn't know entirely what was going on you felt like you could at least be nice and considerate enough to show that someone was there for him and that he could always come to you if he needed.

But,

Every single time you try to speak to him.

"Sir! There's someone who would like to speak with you about Mikoto industries."

"Sir, you have an appointment with Ms.Angela with the new her new line."

"Sir, we need to make up an orderly schedule for next month. You're way behind in your work. You need to be ahead for future purposes if you want to continue to stay on top of things."

People were running to his left and right and it seemed like he was extremely busy. And honestly, you understood. You do remember him asking for a favor from you for you to help him catch up with his work not too long ago.

He was the boss, the leader, the man who ran this whole business, so all of the things that were thrown at him were to be expected of him.

This is his business.

You tapped your pen onto your desk inside of your wonderland thinking about the man who was a couple of floors above you.

You don't want to make any assumptions too soon but you wouldn't be surprised if he was stressed out of his mind.

"I would be. That's a whole lot to handle," you mumbled to yourself in your quiet room.

You started at the unanswered email that was sent to you not even keeping focus to process the words on your screen. You were losing focus and it felt like the words didn't even make sense. But you weren't even concentrating on the many sentences that were presented in front of you onto your computer screen.

You felt a swirl of emotions swirling around inside of your body and you couldn't push it away for some reason and it was starting to irritate you.

No matter how much you wanted to get that man out of your head you couldn't.

And ten what Krone said to you yesterday in your apartment kept pushing itself through the entrance of your ears making its way into your brain bouncing around the surface and echoing making it sound like you were trapped inside of an empty and abandoned tunnel.
