Spinning on his chair in his office, Wright Junior was lost in the thought of Amanda. He had shut everybody out and had refused to talk to his dad since after the incident.

“How could I have let things turn out this way.” He thought. Eventually, he stopped spinning and bowed his head on his table. Even though he knew Amanda was not the easiest person to be with, she was the only person he wanted to be with and the thought of it drove him insane.

“Dude.” Nelson called his attention, with his head poking through the slightly opened door into his office “Bad time?” He asked to be sure he wasn’t interrupting anything.

Junior lifted his head to his direction and glare at him saying nothing but his 'do not disturb' stare couldn't prevent Nelson for he came in anyways.

“Dude, you look like shit. She’s still not picking your calls?” Nelson asked sitting on a chair in front of junior's desk, uninvited.

Junior glanced at Amanda’s cubicle and shook his head “Neither did she reply any of my messages. I even went to her house, it was locked. Then I saw Mr. Albert, her neighbor and he told me she had gone back to Sultan Lake with her Father. She must hate me so much now.” He lamented, covering his face with his palm.

“She’s traumatized, you need to give her some time to heal and you also need to not give up.” Nelson advised “Is that why you haven’t spoken to dad since?”

“And say what?” He asked angrily.

Furious at his god-brother reaction, he said “Do you think he doesn’t feel bad? It was never his intention for things to turn out the way it did. He even apologized to Amanda for doing what he did on air, and told the public that she is the Heroine of Wright publishing. Have you read todays paper?”

Truly, Wright Junior had not read the papers. He didn’t imagine his dad could publicly compliment anybody, it wasn’t in his character. But Junior didn’t act surprised or impressed; he maintained a straight face, giving up no emotion, he replied. “I’ll go see him later.”

“He asked me to give you this.” Nelson’s outstretched arm held Amanda’s original brown Leather Wrist Watch “He hoped you could return this to her.”

Wright Junior almost stretched forth his hands to collect the watch but retreated almost immediately. “Did you not hear what I said before? Why don’t you return it? Sultan Lake isn’t too far from here.”

“I don’t think she will welcome me either.” Nelson said, disappointed. He was part of the entire mishap and he was certain that Amanda would dismiss him the moment she saw him.

“Dude, you are like her only best friend in this place, she will welcome you, you’ll see.” Junior assured him.

“I hope so.” He said.

Amanda had just returned from the local market with Drake. Since she arrived Sultan lake, she had not for once left the house. So,  her dad forcing her to go grocery shopping was a good excuse  get her out of the house. Although, Amanda needed the escape, to get her mind off everything.
