Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 295

“I met up with Russel that time because I had some serious stuff to dish out with him. It wasn’t some hush-hush date or nothing” If Neil wasn’t going to come home and hear me out, then I was gonna lay it all out right here.

From the look of it, Neil wasn’t buying any of it. His eyes didn’t hold a shred of warmth. The affection and tenderness he showed just days ago had now gone up and vanished.

Just then, the two ladies who were pouring his drinks chimed in. They seemed to not know Neil, let alone me. They must have pegged me as some pest bugging Neil and started to mock me, ‘Got the nerve to beg for forgiveness after stepping out? That’s low!”

“You better scram. Don’t spoil our drinking.” The other lady shooed me away with

annoyance.

I couldn’t care less about what they were yapping. I was just waiting for Neil’s response. No matter what, I had to make him believe me cause I couldn’t handle the mess with my dad and Oscar on my own.

Sometimes, just dealing with the company’s affairs left me running around like a headless chicken, let alone situations that demanded some smooth talking.

Neil seemed to be nodding along with the two ladies. He didn’t respond to me at all. Instead, he told me to beat it, “You can leave. If you want to move out of Sterling Estates, I won’t stop you.”

That comment was a gut punch. I was about to explain further when Neil’s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, then at me, and asked, “You still here?”

“I’m not going unless you come home with me.” I retorted defiantly.

“Well then, keep hanging around. Neil answered, picked up the call, exchanged a few words, and hung up, then went back

to his drink.
