Chapter 75

Ariana

I was feeling quite nervous about being here because I had been avoiding him for the past few weeks, and I had no idea how he would react to my sudden appearance.

I had finally decided that it was time to have a proper conversation with him and resolve this issue once and for all. I also needed to give myself time to move on from my feelings for him so I could return to my normal life and work without the burden of awkwardness.

"Ariana?" his familiar voice called out from behind me, and I turned to look at him, forcing a tight-lipped smile on my face.

It had been weeks since our last encounter, and I didn't know how to react, knowing that I was seeing him again after such a long time.

I hoped things wouldn't be too awkward between us because I struggled with handling such situations. I didn't want to miss the chance to clear the air and have a proper conversation about the situation that brought us to this point.
