DOLL FOR ANGELA
Adrian’s POV
Yes, I am a coward. She was already married; she had a happy family, with a husband and a child. How could I say that I still love her? I was yearning to hug her, to lock her in my arms. My grip on the steering wheel tightened.
“Adrian, are you okay?” she asked, looking at me.
I came back to my senses when I heard Lily’s voice. “Yes, I’m okay…” I said. “I’m not going to drive you back to the office because I’ll go straight home. Take a taxi instead, but it will consume a lot of time.”
Lily went silent as she thought of what I said. “Yes, you’re right… I-I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay next time, just listen to me, because I’m your boss, especially if it’s regarding your work,” I said in a stern voice without looking at her.
“Yes,” she murmured.
I was about to tell her something when my phone rang. It was from John again. “I need to answer this.”
“Go ahead, it might be an important call.”
I turned on the Bluetooth speaker of the car. “Hello bro,” I answered.
