“Adrian?” Harriett’s face instantly turned pale as she stared at her long time friend. After the incident four years ago, she completely cut all ties with Adrian as she couldn’t face him out of total embarrassment and guilt. Now, he was standing in front of her.

“Well, this isn’t the reaction I was expecting.” Adrian laughed and walked to the chair. “Aren’t you happy to see me, Harri?”

“What are you doing here, Adrian? H-how did you find me?” She sat down slowly, playing nervously with her fingers.

“Mother told me that you have returned to the company so, I decided to pay you a visit since you decided to cut me out of your life.” Adrian forced a smile, making Harriett feel even worse than she already did.

“You should have called at least, Harriett. You cutting me out like that only made it look like the accusations were true. That was a really selfish move on your part, you know.” Adrian chuckled sadly, his eyes filled with hurt as he stared at Harriett.
