Chapter 6
"I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way"
-Under The Bridge, Red Hot Chili Peppers
What the hell? Did he do that on purpose? Is he trying to make me jealous?
One thing I realized now is that his presence still makes me nervous. Before, I was thinking about my reaction if ever our paths cross again, and I thought I will never be like this, never like before.
"Where are we going, sir?" His assistant asked in a flirty tone. I don't know what are their relationship is. A fling, maybe? The girl is wearing a body hugger suit but looks formal and a lot on make up on her face.
I know Mark and I know that he doesn't what that kind of girl. He doesn'twant those girls who looks liberated. He wants simple.Or maybe, he's changed already?
We're in the elevator and the girl on Mark's side doesn't seems bothered with my presence. She's just there, looking at Mark as if he's a prey and she's about to cage him.
"Get your hands off of me, Amanda. Stop acting as if you're my mistress." Mark said in an irritated voice. The girl, I assume is Amanda, removed her hand on his arm. She seems embarrassed.
"This is the Marketing department, Sir." I said as we reached the 6'th floor. I was talking about all the information that I think they need to know.
Mr. Smith once said that if the investment is approved, the investors will have their own office in this company since their investment is a big share.
We went to the 14'th floor, where his office is. I was discussing everything but he doesn't seem to be interested. He's just staring at me. Amanda is busy arranging his desk.
"Amanda, please make me some coffee. I saw a coffee machine outside." Mark said and Amanda just nodded and left the office.
"If you need anything sir, you can use the telephone to call the information desk on the first floor. They can assist you with everything." I said and I was about to leave but he held my arm.
There, I felt electricity. My heart started beating fast again.
"Can we talk about us, Sofia?" He said sincerely. And I was shocked because he's voice is so soft and pleasing.
"Aren't you mad at me? I left you 4 years ago, without leaving you any idea where I am. "
"I am mad, so mad. But what can I do? I still love you. You don't have any idea how devastated I am the moment you left me." He said, looking straight in my eyes. I bit my lips to refrain my self from crying.
I felt guilty. I don't know what to say anymore. I removed his hand on my arm, turned my back on him, and started walking away.
"What? Aren't you going to give me an acceptable reason why you left me? I am giving you the chance, Sofia. And whatever that reason is, Im willing to accept it whole-heartedly. You know how much I love you whatever happens." He said.
But before I take another step, a tear fall from my eyes. Thanks God, I'm not facing him, I don't want to show him any weakness.
What I did 4 years ago is my choice, but why do I feel any regret? Maybe because I saw pain in his eyes.
I think this is just the beginning of his revenge. And I think this will be hard for me, especially now that I realized that I still love him.
But what if he knows about my son? Our son exactly? Could he still forgive me?

I went to my desk, outside Mr. Smith's office. I don't know what to do anymore.
Mr. Smith went out of his office. And he walk to my desk.
"Can I talk to you, Sofia?" Mr. Smith asked. I nodded and he went to his office. I said I'll just go to the comfort room for 5 minutes.
I went to the comfort room and I just stare at my reflection from the mirror. I'm nervous. What if Mr. Smith gets mad for keeping my secret and fires me? I don't want that to happen since I have love my work already.
A girl went out of one of the cubicles and I was shocked when I saw Amanda.
"Who are you? You seem very important to Mark. I wonder why? Are you one of those whores who slept with him?" Amanda asked and I was shocked to know that Mark did what she said. He slept with other women?
Well of course, Sofia. He has his needs and you weren't there to fulfill it.
"No. I'm not one of those whores. What about you? Are you one of those?" I asked. I don't know why I'am being a bitch to her. Maybe because she has the guts to asked me those kinds of questions.
"Yes, I have slept with him but I'm not a whore. He said he loves me and I volunteered as his assistant. So back off, will you?" She said and left the comfort room.
I was thinking about what she said. He loves her? Or she is just a bed playmate?
I knocked on the door and went to Mr. Smith's office. And I saw him looking outside the window. He smiled sadly to me. He sat straight and I know that it's his cue to start talking.
"Sofia, you are like my daughter. I am thankful for what you did a while ago. But he said "wife". What does that mean?" He said. I know that he's worried about me.
"I'm sorry Mr. Smith. I kept the truth from you. But before I went here in Boston, I am married but I left him because I think it's the best thing I can do that time." I said and I noticed that my tears started falling. I wiped it away.
"Is he Marko's father?" He asked and I just nodded.
He went near me and hugged me. A fatherly hug. I suddenly missed my dad.
"You know that I will support you on what ever decision you make because you're like my family. I hope everything turns good." He said.
"Thank you Mr. Smith! I thought you're going to fire me. Hahaha!" I said
And I felt good after that short conversation with my second father.
I really hope everything will be alright.
