Take Me Away

Spencer hadn’t been in M City for three weeks. Fiona’s everyday life was starting to get back on track. The only thing she constantly worried about was her internship under Celine.

After an entire day of work, she left the office building exhausted. Sophia hadn’t come today, so Fiona had to deal with all the chores. Now, she also had to go back by herself. As she dragged her exhausted body out, she ran into a familiar face.

A sharply-dressed Terence had just parked his luxury car in front of the building. He then leaned against it and put his hand in his pocket, as if waiting for someone. He raised his head, immediately noticing the girl walking out of the company building. Looking surprised, he said, "Fiona? What brings you here?"

"Hello Terence, it’s nice to see you again. I’m an intern here. Are you waiting for someone?" Fiona asked.

"Yeah." Terence stood up straight and nodded, composing himself from a momentary show of embarrassment. He wondered why Celine and Fiona worked in the same company, and if the latter knew the relationship between Spencer and Celine.

"Well, have a good day. I’m going back home." Fiona bowed slightly and turned to walk away.

"Wait!" Terence raised his hand and hurried to her. "Spencer’s been quite busy recently. Are you doing okay? You know you can call me if you need anything."

"Thank you, I’m doing fine." Fiona smiled gratefully. Suddenly, something he had said came to mind. "You once told me something has been troubling Spencer. Were you referring to his relationship with Celine?"

Terrence’s jaw dropped. "You know about everything?"

"I do."

"Aren’t you shocked?" He had always been a steady and composed person, but right now, it seemed that Fiona had him completely beat.

"I was when I found out about it. But it’s been a long time since. I’ve gotten over it now."

"When did you find out?"

"Terence!" Celine’s voice rang in their ears. As Fiona turned around to the entrance, she saw her trotting towards them.

Fiona was shocked, and then flashed a mocking smile. 'So, Terence is waiting for Celine. Turns out they are friends. How stupid I was to talk about Celine with him.'

"I’m leaving now." Fiona clutched her bag and started to walk away.

"Wait, Fiona," said Terence in a hurried voice. "About what I just asked you..."

"I found out on the wedding night." She looked at him one last time with a cold expression before rushing off.

'What? She found out on her wedding night?' Terence stared while she ran off, leaving him speechless.
