Revenge and Redemption: Aaron's Tale of Resilience Chapter twenty eight
The moment she arrived, Helen headed over to the breakroom in search of a cure for her sleeplessness.She loaded her mug with an unhealthy dose of caffeine and stood in the silence of the room, leaning against a corner with her phone in hand to discourage anyone from speaking to her. She needed this few minutes before the workday began to pull herself together.It didn’t work.“Helen!”She pretended not to hear Alvin's overexcited call, but it was impossible to ignore.“Helen!”She turned to face him, a smile on her face as Alvin walked towards her, and was a bit stunned by how unusually dressed up he looked.He wore a blue suit with a white shirt, complete with a tie, and his usually wild, curly hair was cut short and slicked away from his face.She was confused. “What’s going on?”Alvin beamed at her observation. “I look good right?”“Umm, why are you dressed so formally?”“We have a new boss. In short, this is an entirely new company except we’re keeping our name because we’ll be p

Twenty minutes later, the clouds hovering above her head brought down rain. Helen was on her way up with the Senior Project Manager, Abel, and Henry. And she was the center of attention for her half-dead look and rumpled clothes. She wanted to bury herself in the ground.“Kudos for not taking the day off,” Abel said. “I know how you feel right now. I was with you all through last week. I couldn’t even attend the RFP meeting. Thankfully, I have you to save my ass.”Henry gave him a hard look and so did she, but she couldn’t show her contempt for him outrightly since he was above me. She, however, allowed her mind to vent enough to say exactly what it wanted to. Well, fuck him for not taking the initiative to let her remain at her desk. They arrived at the VP’s office and were invited to sit in his little lounge area. Henry and the rest took their seats, while Helen stood by the corner.“Sorry for the inconvenience, but I have a lunch meeting with the CEO in a few minutes and couldn’

He stood there, silently observing her, and her appearance was nothing short of miserable. At that moment, it felt as though the entire world had ceased to exist. His heart raced, and he struggled to maintain his composure. The Chief Medical Officer continued to speak to him, his words a distant hum in the background as all he could manage were polite smiles and nods. Then, the door to the room swung open, and her team emerged. Surprisingly, she wasn't among them, and a wave of relief washed over him.The prospect of meeting her again was unsettling, for it meant that she held the power to determine their next encounter. Given their complicated history, he didn't anticipate her being as enthusiastic about their reunion as he was. There were so many things he wanted to learn about her, and he had traveled a long way just to be near her. If she didn't make an effort to meet him, it would be a disappointment.Contemplating meeting her halfway, he grappled with the notion that his prid

Helen headed straight to the bathroom in a daze. She needed a minute to herself to process what had just happened, or even thirty seconds but knew she wouldn’t be able to get it. Alvin came after her and although she tried to increase her pace as quickly as she could without flat-out running, his long legs and shrill voice called out to her. “Helen! Helen!”She turned around to face him. He withdrew with a hiss of breath through his teeth. His reaction crushed her even more and brought tears to her eyes. Aaron had seen her this way! For the first time in more than a month, they were seeing each other again, and she looked like a homeless stray cat. She wanted to bury herself in the ground.“You met the new CEO?” He asked excitedly. “How was he?Does this mean no one else from their team had gotten to meet him?, She wondered. “I didn’t meet him,” she replied. “I just ran into him on the way down from the VP’s office. They’re going to have lunch.”“Oh, alright then,” he said. “He’s su

The next day, she went to work prepared. She vowed to look her best. Her outfit was a real green pantsuit and a white shirt that came straight from the dry cleaners. Her hair was in a fancy chignon, that she had only ever been able to pull off at two other times in her lifetime, and her makeup, although simple, was rosy and adequate to show she was back from the dead.There wasn’t any doubt that she would meet him today, and when she did, she intended to be in the best possible state she could be in. She had no clue how their conversation would go, but she did know the only question she had for him.What the hell was he doing here?Later that morning however, she watched as Alvin was called from his cubicle across from hers, and requested to go up to the executive floor. He stared at me, now back to his usual casual attire of dark jeans and a dress shirt, his eyes widening with horror and disappointment. “I’m not ready,” he mouthed to her.Neither was she, for whatever was happening r

After the party was announced, the manager, Henry, came out of his office.“Marketing team two, you’re forbidden to attend this party. Your account is still a fucking, bloody mess.”The groans were deafening, and it made Helen look around to see if they had suddenly gotten more members than she was aware of. She realized then, that other employees were also grumbling on their behalf.“Just for tonight, boss,” Aarif called out.Henry was already heading back to his office. “Just for tonight, Henry,” Lee pleaded. “There’s pizza, tacos, and a barrel of red wine.”The floor erupted into excitement again, but Henry slammed his door shut behind him to the amusement of many. Soon, the chatter died down, and they got back to work.Later that evening, at just after 7:30, Helen headed down to the floor with Alvin and found it nearly half-filled with the employees. There was laughter and clusters of teams acquainted with each other hanging out. And, of course, the expansive table of food by the

In her spacious corner office, Anna sat at her polished mahogany desk, an air of frustration surrounding her. She had been unsuccessful in reaching Aaron since their last meeting, and her attempts to contact him had been met with silence. Her mind raced with concerns and questions about the man she was determined to win back. The door to her office swung open, and a woman entered quietly. It was the same domestic staff member who had previously supplied Anna with information about Helen. Anna looked up, her expression a mixture of curiosity and impatience."What is it?" Anna inquired, her tone sharp and direct.The woman hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Ms. Anna, I thought you might want to know that your ex-husband left for Chicago a few days ago. He seemed quite preoccupied." Anna's eyes widened, and she leaned forward, her voice laced with urgency. "Chicago? But why? What's he doing there?"The domestic staff member sighed, knowing she was walking on thin ice but compelle
