Words Fail and Never Settles the Heart
She thought that arriving three hours earlier than she's supposed to would give her a special pass. For god's sake, she was Samantha Lee, daughter of the founder of the Lee Group of Companies. She didn't want to flaunt it like that but it's with times like this that she feels so desperate that she would use all the possible predicaments just so she could be at where she'd rather be at the moment. Well, at least, her title was enough to give her access to the Bennett Office.
Lee Daughter Engaged with Bennett Heir. The headlines were a fuss at the business world two years ago, much more to those trying to get their business on with John Lee. Samantha failed to understand what the news meant for each of their families. For her, it was simply a new and exciting chapter in her life back then. She didn't know that it was that lifetime partnership his Aunt Emma was wishing for. Not that she was doubting any of her intentions before because truthfully, they got along pretty well. Victor's aunt was as hip as her mother and seeing that her mother and his aunt acted practically like sisters (ignoring the fact that their first names are even identical) gave her the impression that it would seal the happiness that she's been willing to see in her mother's eyes ever since Lorraine left the house. Victor was just an added bonus on her part.
It was an understatement to say that she fell for him that fast. In fact, she fell head over heels for him, much to her dismay that the man she's marrying is two years younger than her. Where was the vigor that she was willing to flash at him that time? It was gone that fast, only because he smiled back at her and her stomach turned upside down. She didn't regret falling for him because she knew deep inside that they indeed shared a mutual feeling for each other. Wouldn't that be the reason why they got engaged?Ā
It was almost five when she noticed all the people flocking back. It's probably the end of their meeting finallyĀ and to make an impression, she expeditiously stood up from Victor's large chair, fixed her dress and hid towards his private comfort room. When she felt the door to his office open, she knew that he came already.Ā Oh, he'd be so surprised and happy, seeing her at his office when she's supposed to be heading to England now. When the comfort room opened, she figuratively jumped to him and kissed him briefly on the lips. "Surprise, I'm here!" But it was Samantha who got surprised. The sparkle in his eyes that she saw on their first meeting two years ago... where was it? She knew right then on that moment,Ā something has changed.
