50-Change of Mind

Sarah pov

I took Justin to that ice cream parlor so that he could see with his own eyes that Ashley worked there as a waitress. I wanted to witness the look on his face.

If by any chance she had taken our orders, I would have been over the moon. Just the thought of her face changing color kept giving me tingles inside out.

Bitch must have seen us. That was the reason she did not come out. I was not a fool.

However, I was surprised when Justin left the table because he wanted to use the bathroom. He never used public bathrooms.

Miraculously, there was no waiter at the front. Everyone seemed to have gone to the back room. What was the matter?

Justin took his sweet time and came back. While going home he was exceptionally quiet.

“Are you alright, Justin?” I asked him but he just answered me with a slight hmm.

After coming back, I changed and went out because I wanted to talk to him. I wanted him to let me come back into his life.

His study was dark which meant he was in his room. I went to the door and raised my hand to knock when the door opened, and a male house help came out wheeling two suitcases. Justin was behind him.

“Sarah! You are still awake!” He was wearing a casual jacket along with black cotton pants and a black t- shirt.

Looking handsome as usual.

“Ah. Yes. Why? Are you going somewhere?”

He busily closed his room and started walking, “Yes.”

That’s it. Just one word answer.

“Umm. Is it a business trip, Justin?”

“Sort of!”

Great! I stopped when he stepped on the first step of the staircase.

“Bye, Justin.” I waved happily.

“Bye, Sarah.” He did not even bother to turn around. Did Ashley know that he was leaving? How would she feel if she will come back and won’t find Justin?

How would she feel if I will tell her that Justin met me but did not have ample time to meet her?
