RETURN

Prologue

A familiar tune has been playing non-stop in the last ten minutes.

Courtesy of my phone, ringing loudly and vibrating annoyingly.

The familiar name on the screen annoys me further, tempting me to throw it to the floor. I remembered how much it cost then and continues to ignore it.

Why is that jerk still calling me anyways? Can't he just stay away and stop bothering my life? Isn't he supposed to be busy with that cheap, ten-cent whore?

Obviously, the other occupant of the room isn't pleased with the racket my phone's making.

"Would you just pick up your phone? Geez." She was working and being disturbed while she's on the computer is one of her pet peeves. After a few moment and the phone is still ringing away, she groans.

"Please just pick the damn phone El!" Lily said again, her fingers, manicured to perfection types fastly on her keyboard.

I glared at her but I understand where she's coming from, I wouldn't be able to work either with this noise.

I sighed, "Fine."

I pick up the phone from the coffee table, scowling unattractively at the phone screen before answering the call.

"What do you want?!" My voice makes it clear that I'm not pleased, I never happy interacting with this bastard who broke me and my mom's heart.

"Hello to you too." he replied, sarcasm thick in his voice.

"if you don't have anything important to say to your former daughter, i'm hanging up. Unlike you, I actually have a lot of work today. So, BY--"

"wait, wait, just.. Look, I know that you really hate me, but just hear me out." He sounds desperate and bittery I say, "just one minute."

"okay... I just want you to say to your mother that i still lo--"

"don't.even.finish.that.line! I know that you won't mean it! You're a jerk! You are not my father, so STOP CALLING ME! I have my life and you have yours. So just stop bothering me! BYE!" I said heatedly and press the end call button on my phone and tossed it to the couch.

I can't believe he still has the gall to try and say the word 'love', what a bastard!

It's too late to apologize to us, because i know he's never really sorry at all for what he did in the past. Doesn't matter how many times he calls me, he could say 'I'msorry' a hundred times and I still won't forgive him. I don't think I could trust him again.

"was that your father again?" Lily asked softly, her eyes not straying from the screen of her computer.

"he's not my father anymore, and I already told you that 10 times." I answer stubbornly. I refuse to a acknowledge him as my father.

She rolled her eyes, "still, don't you have your work to get back to? Won't your boss look for you?"

"oh!" Her words made me remember why I came here in the first place

"that's the reason I came here you know."

"my boss will be transferred to Australia and she said she'd be replaced by handsome young man." It was her exact words to me.

"Oh? Really?" Lily finally looks at me.

"Yeah, she said that."

"wow! You hit the jackpot girl! A hot new boss, becomes his personal assistant plus the big salary!" She said as she stands up from her oh-so-cozy chair ans stretches her limbs.

"I guess." I said quietly, not really caring.

I really hope he would be nice, I don't even care if he's handsome or not. After the incident with my father and my ex, I don't think I'd see men the same way again.

My heart is still broken, and I don't think anyone can fix it, but I'm still waiting for a guy with a glue gun.
