Love Affair w/ My Ex-Husband

✧─ Chapter 6 ─✧

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*18+ SCENE AHEAD*

On the highway, Esther was knee deep into her thoughts as watches the cars drive by her.

On the other hand Minho wanted to break the ice, but with just one glance, he could tell that Esther didn't want to open up just yet.

Esther eventually fell asleep during the car ride. "I think we're here." Minho says, taking his seatbelt off.

Esther yawns as she looks around. "How long was I asleep?" She asks.

"For 15 minutes." He says as he steps out of the car and he opens the door for her. "I didn't want to wake you up."

"You should of."

"You were sleeping so peacefully that I didn't dare."

"Thanks." She steps out as he closes the door.

"You have such a beautiful home." He says.

"Thanks, it's just a typical suburban house, but it's not mine. It's my sister's." She says. "I'm just living there until I'm financially stable enough to have my very own home. I just came back from the United States to start my career here."

"Makes sense." He chuckles. "I can tell that you're a very hardworking woman who won't stop at anything until she achieves her goal."

Esther felt flustered for a second. "Anyway." He clears his throat as Esther approaches the gate. "I hope we can keep seeing each other after tonight."

"Of course." She says as she walks in.

Minho smiles as he watches her shut the door. Esther sat down on the couch as she takes off her high heels. "Ow!" She rubs the neck of her ankle.

She lays back on the couch as she sighs deeply. The weekend went by quickly in a second as it was a new start to the week.

Esther was still drained despite physically resting the weekend, but her mindset was at another place the entire time.

She was already at work checking out her daily schedule for the day. On the other hand, Sana and Minnie were ready to start the week with so much enthusiasm.

The phone rang and she picked it up. "This is Crystal Entertainment. This is Esther speaking. How can I help you?" She asks.

"In my office right now."

Esther's eyes widen as she immediately recognizes Baekhyun's voice over the phone and by the tone of his voice, he didn't sound too content at the moment.

Esther than hesitantly puts the phone down as she takes a deep breath. "I'll be back. The boss needs to see me."

"The boss?" Sana asks. "Why would he need to see you?"

That was great question. Why did the boss wanted to see Esther at this early hour?"

"I don't know, but I'm guessing it is very important since he took the time of the day to call for me." Esther says.

"That's just plain weird." Minnie says. "Hopefully it isn't anything serious. Hopefully it's a good reason."

"He just asked me to visit him and then he hung up, but I hope so too." Esther says nervously as she walks towards the elevator.

Esther took the elevator as she nervously swallows her saliva as she twiddle her two thumbs. "What could he possibly want? Didn't he make it clear for me on Friday?" She thought to herself.

She reached the highest floor of the building as her mind thought about all the mistakes she has ever done since she started working for him.

She then arrived at his office and she lifts her hand up as she takes a deep breath before her nerves will take over. Esther subtly knocks on his door, waiting for him to tell her to come in.
