When I got to the executor's workplace they had told me to wait outside seeing he isn't in yet.

He was so very much impatient with me yesterday about me having to meet up with him and now he is being late? Crazy.

I have to admit though this place is beyond me.
It's interior design is pretty cool too. It's a rich brown and gold theme going on in here, the receptionist lady giving me a glance every now and then.

I feel a bit uncomfortable under her gaze so I got up from my seat deciding I'd much rather walk up and down than have her looking at me like I ran over her dog.

"Miss!" She calls me and I walk over to her my heel boots clicking against the wooden floor.

I finally stand in front of her and she studies my face "Do I know you?" She asks me and I shake my head not recalling ever running into her or seeing her before.

"I don't think so..." I say and she looks down at her hands as if thinking about something her head quickly shooting up a smile now on her face "Yes! Now I remember we were in primary together." She says creeping me out.

I swallow thickly just by thinking about the fact that someone can actually remember me from back then.
I mean I should be embarrassed by the fact that she says she can actually remember me because I looked bad back then.
My teeth were crooked, I wore glasses and long very long skirts.

I only nod a awkward smile on my face as my phone started ringing and I quickly dug into my bag wanting to escape this woman.

Answering it my friend's voice beamed through the phone "Aria!" She squeals happily "Brooke!" I return the energy and she laughed "I finally did it!" She says and I jump in happiness knowing what she is talking about.

"How did he take it?" I ask easing down "Not so good at first but he then said he felt the same way but didn't know how to tell me." She speaks and I roll my eyes her boyfriend correction -ex boyfriend is a real idiot.

"Uhg... I'm sure thats how he felt..." I say back sarcastically making a tsk sound "Yeah but i feel so free!" She says and I smile at her happy voice.

Her boyfriend is such a toxic person it's not even funny.

EX BOYFRIEND. *

In the corner of my eye I see people walking in and out of the huge building mostly in suits and the receptionist woman waves her hand to me pointing towards a grey haired man walking towards the lift a suitcase in his right hand.

That must be him?

"I gotta go! Love you!" I say and hanged up knowing she will complain later.

Speed walking towards the man with the suitcase as he walks into the elevator and I quickly jump in, and he gives me a dirty look "Hi..." I say turning to him inhaling deeply, he looks over to me slowly turning his head and my eyes meet his dark blue ones , forming a thin line with his lips, keeping quiet then finally he spoke "Good day." Is all he said and I recall his voice from yesterday afternoon.

He turned back and looked out in front of him and I frowned 'Good day?' is that all he is going to say?!

"I'm Aria Standford." I say and this time he fully turns his body towards me a small smile now on his lips "Oh... Ms Standford." He says and I guessed that he didn't know it was me to start with.

I kindly smile back as we shake hands, his hand extremely warm "My apologies I didn't know it was you." He says and I brush it off with a smile.

We are now seated inside his enormous office that looks like it goes on forever but I can see the end of it though.

Stupid me .

"Let's get started shall we?" He says not looking up at me and I nod my head as he opens a brown file with a bunch of papers.

"How old are you Ms Standford?" He asks "24 Years old sir." I tell him and he looks up at me surprised "Your still very young." He talks and I chuckled at that, I don't feel very young, sometimes I feel like a retired grandma that should be taken care by 24 year old people.

"Not really that young sir." I say and this time it's his turn to laugh "Oh honey if only you knew how young you actually are. Look at me I'm 65." He says and my eyes go wide.

Why is he still doing this job?

"Shouldn't you be retired?" I found my stupid self ask him but I quickly shut my mouth thinking it's rude "I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that." I tell him and he gives me a serious look then smiles "Don't worry about that. But for your information they wanted to put me out but I refused... I am retiring after this case tho." He says and I smile at him... That is sad.

"Oh... I'm sorry..." I tell him well I'm not really sure why I'm apologizing but I think it's for the fact that this is his last case because he really does seem like a nice person.

He only shakes his head putting on his glasses "No worries dear it's about time, now let's get started shall we?" He repeats his words from earlier and I nod as he starts reading.
