Chapter 72

DESMOND

"So you finally remembered me eh Desmond." Tyler pitched while he cruised in his swimming pool. I shot him a smile that only lasted for a second. 

"Surely it can't possibly be because you miss me right?" He teased me.

"Of course I missed seeing you." I replied while I chose to sit on one of the lounge chairs.

"Oh cut the crap!" He laughed and I laughed too. But then it faded. If I were being honest I only drove straight from my office to his place because I needed someone to talk to. 

He sat on the edge of the pool, dangling a white towel over his neck. "Now tell me, why are you here?" He asked and I heaved a light sigh. 

"Something happened at work today." I mumbled and his smile faded. I remained silent for a while but he still kept his gaze on me.
