Chapter 5

I make way to the dining hall and greet Anne. I settle down as Anne serves the food. I look around finding no trace of Brian .

"Anne , is Brian not going to join for breakfast ?" I ask .

" He has left for Italy for a business trip , hon. And will be back after a month. " She says .

Couldn't he just inform me before he leaves . I mean he could have atleast said a word. Great ! It hasn't even been a week that I get married and my husband leaves me to go for a business trip. And doesn't even bother saying a word to me that he will be away for a month.

"He left at 4am , hon. He didn't want to disturb your sleep. So don't think too much ." Anne says after probably noticing my disappointed face.

I just nod my head, not wanting to continue the topic any further.

I leave for work and arrive at office . I meet Scottie at the entrance and we make our way to our desks together while making our own little conversation.

"Guess what ?" He said with an excited face .

"What ..?" I ask .

"Mr. Lacce is away for a month and I feel amazing that I won't have to see him anytime soon in the meeting rooms ." He said with a grin .

Great ! So everyone knew he was going out of the town while I was the only one  clueless. What a great way to start a day.

" But , I feel bad for his wife , coz he left her for a business deal while it hasn't been a week since they got married. " Scotty says while being sympathetic for her , who actually was me.

"Yea." I agree feeling kinda bad for myself .

A month later

It has been a month since he has gone for his business trip. I waited for him to at least call me once , but being the jerk he was he did not even bother calling me once. Some of you could blame me saying that I could've taken a step and contacted him. But , hon, I don't even have his number. 

For the past whole month , all I have been doing is go to office , deal with paper work. Scotty has been a great company for me, helping me out socialize a little . Or I would occasionally meet up with Trent and Charlie at the weekends and hangout as usual . Nothing out of normal , except for me constantly thinking of how I would make my sinking ship called ' relationship ' work after he comes back . And honestly I haven't got an idea either on how .

And as usual I arrive at the office. Make my way to my desk along with Scotty as he narrates me his weekend in a funny manner. And me being me laugh at it as if there was no tomorrow.

Oww!!

I bump into a wall. That hurts. But there was no wall here when I last checked . So I lift my head to see the wall ,only to find out that it was no wall but rather a six foot tall human . Those green eyes staring at me as if I was sinner to run into them . And the eyes that I haven't seen for a whole month .

It was the one and only Brian fucking Lacce . My dear husband ,who ghosted on me for a whole month.

I just stare at him , drowning myself into those green orbs which showed no emotion other than emptiness . I felt a tug at my hands and turn to see Scotty giving me a look of terror. I realise and apologize for bumping, only to get a curt nod.

Scotty pulls me away from there saying we were in a rush. Those eyes stared down at me as an unknown emotion flashed in them.
