Chapter 267: Going For A Ride
The last time that she had slept with Derek. She had managed to sneak out her embroidery piece from the penthouse. Emily had been working hard at it through the nights. Her hours of sleeplessness from Monday to Wednesday, helping her push the project along.
Come Thursday morning, Emily had completely finished with the heart and her whole soul was singing. Excitement thrumming through her veins as she tried to think of what Derek’s reaction would be.
She wondered if the missing piece that Derek had would be a clue to yet another game.
That sounded exciting, but Emily had a feeling that it would not be that. It just seemed too predictable for it to be something that Derek would choose.
But what could it be?
That was the question that plagued Emily throughout the day. She attended meetings, sent emails, made sure that Derek’s needs were taken care of, and through it all, her mind would not let the topic rest.
Turning scenarios this way and that. Trying to come up with the one that was most likely to be true.
The only rest that Emily got from her game of ’What is Derek’s plan with the puzzle piece’ came at around lunch time from a very unlikely source. Being a caregiver. It was not easy for her mother to go out during the day. But that Thursday, the moment that lunch rolled around. Emily got a text.
’I am waiting for you downstairs. Can you join me for lunch?’
Seeing that Derek was busy in his office, going over some document. It was a no-brainer to say yes to her mother’s suggestion. And now the two of them were in the park that Derek and Emily sometimes visited
The Molson women sat side by side. Scattering seeds for the birds to eat. Once all of the bird seed was gone. Only then did the two of them turn to their meals. Eating quietly for a few minutes.
