Chapter 37 - Uncalled Fight (2/2)

” Dinner is served.” It sounded so bland and expressionless. I didn't bother to answer I just laid there. Time has past and I just laid on my bed. I moved my head to see the clock on my bedside table. It was 1 am in the middle of night. My appetite had died long time ago but I felt thirsty.

I went downstairs to grab a bottle of water from the fridge. When I came around the dinner table I saw that there were some foods kept on the table, covered neatly.

Stella must have kept the food on the table so, I can come here and eat. My appetite was still not recovered but I grabbed a spoon and took few bites of the chicken stew. It was tasty sadly I couldn't eat more than those spoonful. My heart was aching with sorrow. Holding the bottle of water I came back to my room. I had thought of drinking some wine or strong alcohol but it will only make my pain worse. I need to repent on my behaviour.

My eyes opened facing the ceiling. The room was lighter and brighter which means that it's morning now. I looked at the time and it was 8.20 am. I always wake up early but maybe after staying up so late made me sleep much longer.

I went downstairs after getting ready. My stomach was empty and I felt weak. It's a new day—— a new beginning. So, I guess things will go back to normal like it were. With a positive vibe I entered the dining room.

But there was no one at a sight. Lucy walked out from the kitchen and stared at me.

” Where's Stella?”

” Miss has left already. She told me to serve the breakfast today.”

Looks like this time I will have to suffer lot more than I had anticipated. I ate the breakfast with a heavy heart because I needed energy to continue working. With my busy schedules and work I have to eat properly to keep my system fine.

” Sir”

”....”

” Sir”

”.....”

My shoulder was shaken by someone and I noticed it was John—— my ȧssistant.

” Yes?” Although I had no idea what was happening I replied to them. All of the stuffs were looking at me with a blank stare.

” We shall discus this matter after lunch break. The meeting is dismissed for now.” John had taken the responsibility of keeping the work atmosphere intact. Everyone left the room and it was only me with John.

” You seemed lost in the whole meeting. Is everything all right? ” As expected from my ȧssistant ċum friend John, he already noticed my behaviour.
