“Forget about Mom, forget about Greg or any other person that hurt you. Your peace and happiness are paramount, which is why you should do whatever m akes you happy”
“I am going to give this a try for the last time.”
“No, I don’t like that mentality”
“What was I meant to say?”
“That you are gong to make her yours again no matter what it takes.” “I really want that but you know I don’t like bugging people.”
“No, that’s not called bugging people. I am not going to tell you what to do but I think you should do all it takes to own this phase of yo ur life. I know you still have that aura that Vee can’t resist. Just try to make it u p to her.”
“I will keep that in mind. I don’t know how long I’ll be there for….”
Fedora interrupted her brother before he could complete his statement. “Stay f or as long as you see the need to. Don’t worry about the company. I will be in touch with Susan and get everything sorted for you.”
“I almost forgot I’m not going with the jet, which means I have to go check in now.” “It’s fine, where’s your stuff?”
Oscar brought out his phone from his pocket and unlocked it. “I do have an e mergency travel bag in the car. I will tell the guard to bring it over.”
“What about you? How did you get here?” Oscar asked because he didn’t rem ember seeing her car when he drove out of the company.
“Collins should be here anytime soon.” She said, referring to her driver. “He w ent on some errand, that was probably why you missed him on your way out.”
“No problem. Since you’ve got a ride, I will tell the guard to take my car home. ”
“Are you nervous?” Fedora couldn’t help but ask her brother. Oscar shrugged. “I think I’m indifferent.”
“Worry less, you will do just fine. She gave him an encouraging smile.
The moment the guard brought Oscar’s luggage, he said his goodbye to his sister, after whi ch he left the VIP lounge area to go check–in.
They boarded in no time and Oscar started his journey to Australia.
Just as Fedora had advised, Oscar tried his best not to think about every betr ayal he had experienced. He spent time going through emails, then he took a long nap.
The whole trip felt like forever but they finally arrived in Australia in the mornin g.
Susan already arranged for her Boss’s stay so the driver picked him up and dr ove him straight to the five–star hotel.
Once settled, Oscar took a shower and changed into fresh clothes. At this poi nt, it was just fifteen minutes past 1 p.m.
Knowing Fedora was probably a bit tense, he decided to Facetime her. He was almost giving up when she picked up, her face coming into view. Thank you for giving me a call, I was almost dying of anxiety here.”
“How was your trip?”
“Exhausting.”
“Sorry about that. I think that’s the only reason why I haven’t been to Australia. The distance.”
“You wouldn’t be so scared if you traveled to places more often.” “I do travel. I take trips!”
“Oh, you mean your once in three years vacation?”
“Right!!!! I have forgotten how much of a bully you can be.”
“Don’t get all cranky. It’s not bad but just exhausting. It would have been bette r if I came with the jet but it’s all cool. I’m here now.”
“Thank you for earlier.”
“You have nothing to thank me for. I’m glad to be there for my brother.” “So when do you plan on seeing her?”
“I haven’t decided. Probably tonight or tomorrow.”
“I don’t know yet. I’m so confused”
“The last time I went to her place, I had to go through the fence because there was tight security at the entrance.”
“And I don’t want to set foot in her company. Bad memories! He sighed! “I’m sure you will figure it out. It may not be easy but it’s going to be worth it.” “Yeah, hopefully.”
“No, I don’t like that tone. I want you to be confident.”
“I am. I’m just exhausted. I thought you would be worried about me so I called. ”
Just get some rest and text me if you need anything“.
And just so you know, I told Susan not to respond to you if you ever ask for an ything work–related. I will handle everything.”
“She can be fired for that!”
“Not bad. You’ve been talking about how efficient she is. I might as well steal her from you.”
“You wouldn’t dare!” Oscar frowned at his sister.
“Just focus on what you are there for and let me handle the company.”
“I have to go now. We will talk later. Yeah?”
“Yeah, take care,” Oscar said, ending the call.
He was about to put his phone aside when an idea popped into his head, he w ent through his contract list and dialed a number.
“I almost thought you weren’t going to pick. I was about cursing you.” Oscar said when the person on the other end picked up the call.
“Stop being an asshole! Not everyone is a boss like you. I was working!” “You sure? Or you were making out with Ashton?”
“I wish! Things have gotten worse with him. He wouldn’t stop going after your woman. I think my fear has finally come to pass. I have to accept the fact that he doesn’t like me and move on.”
I’m so sorry about that,” Oscar said sincerely.
“Please stop! I don’t like to be emotional.”
“You are sounding cool. It’s okay not to be okay.”
“I will cry when I get to my house but for now, I’m not going to be mad about a guy. I’m worth it and I’ve been worth it. It’s his loss if he loses me.”
Oscar chuckled.
“Don’t be a bully!” She scolded him over the phone.
“You don’t have to pretend you are not in pain and don’t you dare put the blam e on my baby. You know she doesn’t like him.”
Whatever! Why did you call? It’s a bit strange though because you call me aft er work.”
“So? I can’t call my friend anytime I feel like?”
“I don’t trust men anymore. Just say what you want.”
“What time does Vicky close from work?”
