Chapter 27 The note

He understood what Mark was trying to tell him but his worries still lurked around. Even luck couldn't save him.

Seeing that Aidan was silent, he spoke up again.

"If he loves you, he will trust you and he will come back. I saw him hold the necklace before he ran to the bathroom he would have left it behind if he wasn't going to come back," Aidan immediately lifted his head. He finally felt confident after hearing that.

"What should I do?" He asked after a while.

This was the first time Mark got to witness Aidan's new side. The helpless side, the loving side he finally knew that he was indeed a human but not just a human but a human who was deeply in love. He sighed heavily and then answered," take care of yourself I don't want to be blamed for not taking care of you,"

"Order food," Aidan said feeling a bit enthusiastic.

"Got it sir," Mark stood up with a smile as he walked towards the door proudly.

Aidan stood up and then walked to the window. He could see the whole city from where he was. After a few minutes, he went back to his seat. He looked at the pile of completed work then suddenly spotted something strange. It was a note. He hesitated for a while and then picked it up.

.....

After the call with Layla, Way thought of something, he recalled how he suddenly disappeared without telling Aidan anything he took out his phone and then searched for the site where Wave posted the webtoon.

"Wow, it already has thousands of readers, when did it get so popular," he mumbled softly.

"Is he sulking? Cause I left? Poor Aidan," he mumbled as he read through the chapters. He suddenly thought of something, he stood up walked to the room where Wave's drawing board was located. He then drew a note on the drawing board then began to write something down.

"Hi Aidan, I know you are sulking right now blaming yourself for my disappearance but I just want you to know that it's not your fault. I need to sort something first before I come back. Take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself also, I'll be back as soon as I can. I'm watching you bye." He read through the note and when he felt satisfied he drew an envelope and then placed it on the table where Aidan could see it easily.

.....

Aidan slowly opened the note he quickly read through it and after a few days of sulking he could finally smile. He felt as if a baggage had suddenly gone. He didn't even notice how many times he had read the letter. He felt so relieved all it took was words from Way to bring back his energy. After a few minutes of just staring at nothing in particular, he looked at his watch it was already 5:00pm. He didn't care about anything else about where the note came from and such all he cared about was fo follow what Way had said. He understood what Way had said about watching him but he didn't think much to it. All he wanted now was to just go home as instructed.

He walked back to his table packed a few documents in his bag and then stood up hastily ready to clock out for the day. As soon as he opened the door, he met Mark his assistant who had just returned with food.

"Are you leaving?" Mark asked slightly shocked at the sight.

"Mmh, it's time for me to clock out," Aidan said smiling brightly.

Mark immediately stared at his watch in confusion. Aidan only clocked out early when Way was around. He was known to be a workaholic but today he just left early? He was filled with questions plus the wide smile made him even more confused. A while ago when he left to order food Aidan was on the verge of breaking down but here he was happily smiling and even clocking work.

"Give me my food and the car keys, I'll drive myself home you can go home too," Mark subconsciously handed him everything and then watched Aidan walk out. After a few seconds, he heard him yell outside," go home, tomorrow work starts at 10:00am. We will also have a team building trip this weekend Mark book the best resort for that let them choose where they want to go then give me the report tomorrow." He then skipped to the elevator after that.

Everyone was confused but when they saw him skip to the elevator they realized what was going on.

"Did he just skip to the elevator?"

"Team building? Is that another name for vacation?"

"I'm so excited, where should we go?"

"What is happening? 10:00am tomorrow? Work usually starts at 7:30am,"

"Who cares, the president said it himself," there were all kinds of murmurs.

"I'll go ask Mark about it." Everyone rushed towards Mark with questions but he was also extremely clueless. Everything happened too fast. After a few seconds he sighed and then said," listen to the president I'm going home this is a rare chance. We will discuss about the trip tonight in the work chat group." Immediately he said that, everyone rushed to their desks picking up their belongings ready to go home. They had been working till late hours and most of them had even completed two days worth of work.

.....

After Layla finished her work shift, she changed her outfit then went to Way as promised. The situation at home was exactly what she thought it would be. But this time, she knew it wasn't so simple, she instantly felt a headache when she thought of it.

"Layla, finally you're here," Way said excitedly as he dragged her to his room.

"Would you mind telling what the hell is going on here?" She said. Her émotions were written clearly on her face.
