Chapter 21: A Surprise Visit
She had only been at her parent's house for a few days, but in this short time, Dylan had messaged her and called her multiple times. Zoe hadn’t answered a single call or text, even though she wanted to. She had not attended work, and she didn’t bother to call in either.
What would she say? Hello Margaret, who has been keeping my boyfriend’s identity a secret, could you please tell the CEO, I mean Dylan, that I will not be at work this week?
What was the point of doing that? Dylan knew how upset she was, so she expected that he would understand her needing time away from the office.
Yet, despite how upset she truly was, the desire to speak to him was still there. She badly wanted to tell him that everything was okay, and they would be okay. She wanted to tell him that she couldn’t stop thinking of him, and none of it mattered.
