Chapter 2

The meeting has been going smoothly and with the SWOT analysis, everything seemed to favour them. "There is nothing more joyous than knowing that nothing can go wrong", Isla complemented. " Apologies boss, but the secretary of MA's corporation needs to see you now. Should I tell him to come in? ", Nolan's PA whispered to him. He gave a slight nod and continued with the meeting.

When the man had finally arrived to the conference room, there was an awful silence that filled the air

'What a nice reunion God has bestowed unto me, I'm so grateful', she thanked.

"Good morning everyone", the man greeted and everyone in the room responded.

" It's good to see you", her smile as scary as that of Pennywise. She was more than ready to cut him in half and if not more.

'How dreadful', he thought the moment he and Isla shared eye contact.

" Nolan you would have to excuse me, I would like to use the restroom, I'll be back"

"Isla, please do so, the meeting will soon be over"

'Did he just say Isla..... It looks nothing like the one I left half dead', Nicolas thought. Shock was the only thing written on his face. The secretary to the CEO of MA's cooperation, Nicolas,abandoned by his girlfriend, struggled to make it to the top again, now encounters his wife at a big conference room.

" That should be a right? ", Nolan asked eager to continue with the meeting. Nicolas nodded.

" Nolan, have you ever realized that, it is the moment you want to leave it's the moment everything seems to slow down "

" That's very true"

"You'll be coming to the movies with me and the kids, right? "

" I don't know, I'll ask Elizabeth first then I'll get back to you, I promise, but now we need to pick the kids from school or they would make a fuss out of it"

Isla laughed loud. 'There has never been a day of sorrow with my best friend around, I'm so happy', she smiled at the person driving the car. "What will I have ever done without you? ", she murmured

Avery ran as fast as she could the moment her mum came to sight." Mum", she yelled. She pecked her endlessly on her cheek and hugged her very tight. "When was the last time you ever picked us up from school, I get bored the moment we are in the car with Elias"

" That's enough Avery. The first thing you should ask about is how her day has been going before we yell at her for all her offences. Isla gave no reply. All she did was enjoy the moment in front of her. She hugged them both and began to apologize

" I even got a compensation gift for my mistake. I'm taking you guys to the movies, then we go for a shopping spree and we end the day with pizza for dinner, how does that sound? ".

'In the end, they fell asleep on my laps after such an exhausting day'. She pecked both of them on their fore heads and rested her head on the little center table they used to eat dinner.
