Chapter 79: For The Best
The walk out of Haven Group headquarters felt unreal. Emily kept expecting herself to turn back at any second, tell Derek that she was joking, and then on Monday, come back and they would both laugh about the whole thing.
But she did not do that, instead, she just kept walking. All around her, people who were now her former co-workers moved about. Some of them knocking off. There were a few waves, a few nods in her direction, but no one really paid much attention to her.
She did not have any friends there, no one really did. But she did not try to fake it. So none of them knew that it would be the last time that they were seeing her working at the company and for that Emily was glad. She would not have been able to take the crocodile tears while it was clear that they were all cheering behind her back.
Walking with a confidence that she did not feel, Emily made her way out of the building and out into the pouring rain. Shrugging on her yellow raincoat, she moved through a sea of umbrellas, making her way to the bus stop.
She made it there just as a bus was taking off, but rather than leave with it, Emily went to the bus stop and sat down.
It was strange, Emily felt as though she had just sat down for a little bit. Just to think, but the next time she looked up, it was dark, and when she stood up, she nearly fell thanks to the dizzy spell that overcame her.
When she looked at her phone, it informed her that she had been there for almost three hours.
Oh.
Still not quite feeling like herself, she sat back down, and when she did, her mind took her down memory lane.
