Fourth Chapter

Phoebe lost her track of time, she doesn’t know now how many hours had passed since Yulo left and still hasn’t came back up to now. But Phoebe is still determined to wait for him. She’s quite starving now because her breakfast was the last meal that she had that day. It’s almost three in the afternoon but she still haven’t eat lunch yet, her plan is to eat with Yulo but he left her. Yulo’s secretary entered again in the office for the nth time today, she keeps on reminding Phoebe to eat, so she’ll just say that she’s still full, even if she feels that her intestines are fighting with each other.

While waiting Phoebe fell asleep and when she woke up she noticed that it’s already getting dark outside from the floor to ceiling glass window located in front of the sofa where she was sitting. From there she witnessed how the sun set, then the moon and stars appeared.

When she looked at her phone—which she totally forgot about—she saw that it was passed six pm already. For sure all the employees are now preparing to go home, but Phoebe still doesn’t want to leave, she’s really determined to wait for Yulo even though it seems that the man does not have any plan to go back at all.

The door suddenly opened so Phoebe quickly stand for she thought that it was Yulo who opened the door, but turns out it was only his secretary. Layla looked at her, sympathy is evident in her eyes.

“Ma’am aren’t you going home already? You’ve been waiting here for almost ten hours already. Sir Yulo might not come back here anymore you didn’t even ate lunch.” Layla told her worriedly. Phoebe felt sad and pity for herself.

“You go first Layla, I'll just wait a little more longer then might go home too later.” She said, Layla's a bit a hesitant but nodded eventually and finally left her alone there.

Phoebe still waited and distracted herself with the beautiful city lights that she's seeing from the glass window. She's not feeling that well anymore because she hasn't eaten anything for the past ten hours. She felt her intestines twitching.

When she got tired from looking at the lights, she peeked through her phone and saw that it's almost eleven pm, and her mother had sent her so many text messages already telling her how worried sick she was for her. That’s when Phoebe decided to leave. She stood up and walk through the door, her legs are quite trembling because of her starvation.

She’s about to open the door when someone opened it from the other side. To her surprise it was Yulo standing there and seemed to be astonished to see her.

“Why are you still here?” Yulo asked her.

“Actually I'm a-about to go a-already.” She said stuttering. Phoebe forced herself to smile but her eyes did otherwise because a tear escaped from it. Before she could even cry in front of him she immediately walk passed by him so he won’t see how shattered her heart is.

What happened to her? She’s there because she’s waiting for him right? Then why is she leaving now that Yulo’s back already? Does she thinks he will run after her? She’s not that important to him so why is she hoping for something that would not happen at all?

Phoebe sobbed even more , she reached the parking lot already but there’s no Yulo that’s following her. She went inside her car and started the engine right away. She felt her heart twisted in pain as well as her stomach.

When she’s finally home she promptly went out of her car and started walking to their front door, but before she could even enter she felt her strength slowly fading away and her knees and legs started to tremble until she fell off the ground and everything suddenly went black.

“Ma’am Phoebe!” she heard before the darkness consumed her.
