Their End, My Beginning

Chapter 21

As I got to my cubicle and started to organize my things, I heard knocks on my door and saw it was

Cassy and Richard standing with a sad expression.

“Hey donkeys, I am not leaving forever you guys are stuck with.” I said walking to them and hugging Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

them both. After our group hug, we pulled back.

“Yea, I know that is the saddest part. You not leaving for good,” she said with tears in her eyes, which

made me laugh.

“I know you love me.”

“Yea believe what you want to.”

I turned to look at Richard, who was silent. It’s not that he was talkative, but he is not that quiet.

“What is it, Richard? You know, I will come in between to get ideas from you guys. You very well know

the fact that without your suggestions I won’t be able to complete it.”

“We are only supporting and agreeing to all the ideas going through your head. We have done nothing,

it is all you. You have no idea what you head holds.” That made me giggle.

“Well, I don’t deny that, but I need support to complete it you know how difficult it gets when we are in

the middle. We get stuck and not know what to do next forgetting out original plan and it was you guys

reminding me what I originally planned and without that support we ay not even be having this

conversation right now.” He nodded to what I said. It was not just the fact I am leaving it is something

else that makes him quiet or should I say worried.

I walk closer to Richard and hold his arms. He is 5’8 shorter than Ryder who is 5’10 but taller than me

(5’6).

“What is it, Richard?”

“You will get back together with him, right?” he asked.

“Who?” I knew he was talking about Ryder, but still I asked that question acting dumb.

“You are smarter than that.”

“The truth is, Richard, I don’t know. For some reason he looks at me as if we didn’t even share any

bond at all.” I stopped talking as I felt my traitorous tears threatening to fall.

“Okay then, why don’t you get into a relationship with me. You and I both know we have a great

chemistry together.” He said looking at me hopefully. It hurts for me to shatter his hopes. Besides me

Cassy stands there uncomfortably I gave her a do-what-you-want-to-do look and left the room leaving

Richard and me.

“Ric, we already had this conversation. If its anyone its only Ryder whom I am going to be in a

relationship with or else no one. I sorry to use you, but we did everything only after me telling you this

will be our end.”

His eyes held so much anger that he began to leave, but I tightened my hold on his arm and didn’t let

him leave.

“Kat, please I need to be alone.”

“You can choose to be alone, Ric. I will leave anyway, but till then let us have the talk.”

He sighed, meaning that he gave in and we both sat on the two chairs in front of my desk and had the

talk. I made him realise how much I still love Ryder and what I did was just out of my anger and

jealousy. Even though I know that he won’t know what I am doing I wanted to make him jealous I know

it sounds stupid but that was what I felt. Moreover, I wanted to forget about Ryder, at least for a few

hours, and that is also the reason why I did what I did.

After having a friendly conversation with Richard, he helped me to carry the things to my car, and we

ended the things off with a pleasant note but will still try to be friends if that is even possible. Trying

won’t hurt, right?

After taking my needed stuffs to my car I went to my chief and after her best wishes and taking the

letter that has the permission to enter Waynst, big security I know at least some things haven’t

changed, he has always been very strict about safety. Now it will take at least 8 months or max. 1 year

to complete the project, meaning only after that will I be coming back to the company. Am I sad? Little

cause I won’t be seeing my colleagues and friends much as I used to. Why little? Because of two

things. A. I am going to Ryder, which means patching things with him if possible, or at least seeking

help to retrieve the laptop from police to get to the original one I am searching for. B. from the money

from this deal, I will be a step closer to my goal of getting Marshal Co. back. With a last look at the

company I worked for a while, I left.

As I was driving, only one thought was there in my head. Ryder. Will he continue his ways even in my

presence? What more surprising elements am I going to experience? Only time will tell.
