Chapter 39

For a while, there was no response and she decided to knock again.

"Who is it?" She finally heard the voice and took in a deep breath.

Her hands in her trouser pocket, she waited and soon enough, the door opener with the man's face popping up.

His jaws dropped instantly, eyes beamed in surprise as he stared at someone he wasn't expecting to see - not in a long time.

"Kaylan?" He called, his tone expressing how surprised he was.

"Good evening, Mr Donovan" Kaylan said with a sigh.

"Nice to meet you again".

Donovan couldn't hide his surprise. What the hell was she doing there? It's been so long already.

"I.. I must say this is a surprise, Kaylan. It looked more like a dream to me. I thought you were dead or something..."

"Yeah, I know" Kaylan cut in calmly. "everyone thinks so, but, I'm alive".

She could see the disbelief in the advanced man's eyes. He was in his late fourties and wore a white T-shirt. It didn't even look like he just had a divorce a year ago.
