In Love With Someone Else

Bryce was all smiles as he made his way over to work later in the day. He wanted nothing more than to stay indoors with Hera all through the day but sadly, he got an urgent call from his office concerning an important work that needed his attention.

At first he didn't want to but Hera had forced him, pleaded with him to go ahead and handle it but he had promised to get back home as soon as he could. He was only here for formality sake and because he wanted to respect her wishes. She'd get upset with him if he didn't and for the life in him, he didn't want that. The last thing he wanted to do was getting on her bad side.

Doris helped to set up everything he needed for the day's work and he couldn't wait to finish up on time so that he could go back home to Hera as quickly as possible.

"Would you like me to get you anything sir?" Doris had asked after setting up everything that he needed to continue.

He waved her off. "No. You can go and don't let anyone in until i ask you too. I want to be left alone for now."

"Sure thing boss!" She replied before shutting the door behind her as she made her way back to her position.

Bryce picked up his cellphone to scroll through some pictures of Hera. The ones he had taken of her earlier today before he left the house.

Damn! He was only away for a few hours but he already misses her terribly. Maybe love wasn't such a bad thing after all. Maybe it was finally time for him to let himself cave and let go of his fear from the past. Maybe it was time to move on. He just had to admit it and the rest would finally be history.

"Ma'am you can't go in there." Bryce overhead the persistent and loud voice of Doris just outside his office. "My boss is busy and you can't—"

The door forcefully pushed open and Nella walked in with Doris behind her. The latter had an apologetic look on her face as if to tell me that she didn't mean for her to barge into my office unannounced.

"I'm sorry sir. I tried to stop her but she wouldn't listen and-"

question should be, why is your secretary stopping me from coming into your office?" She asked, voice laced in contempt. "I've always come unannounced and not once have you sent me away so why would she try to stop me? Did you instruct her to?" "I instructed her not to let anyone in because i don't want to be disturbed so it's not just you." He answered casually. "Now, why are
