Chapter 167 - Lose Ends

Later that night after dinner Shiwoo and I were in bed sleeping, when the loud rings of his phone woke us both up.

I kept my eyes closed as he unwrapped his arms from around me and groaned reaching for his phone, "hello?"

He was all groggy and a bit disoriented, but whatever the person from across the phone said must have been very alarming, for he jumped  out of bed and began to get dressed.

"What's wrong?" I asked turning the desk lamp on and rubbing my eyes as I sat up in bed and he slightly jumped from being startled. He must didn't know that I was awake.

"Oh Atalia hey. Baby go back to bed. I'm just to take care of something."

"Take care of what?" I asked as he came to my side placing a kiss on my stomach.

"I can't say."

I looked him straight in the eye and nodded for he didn't have to say where or who, his eyes were a dead give away, "you're going to her aren't you?"

He sighed as he lowered his forehead to rest on my stomach, "Atalia please I have to-"

"Then go" I said cutting him off, and shaking his head off, "go to her since she needs you at," I paused looking at the clock, "fucking one in the morning."

"Atalia please. She was crying. She said that it was urgent."

"More urgent than me!? I am pregnant, and the mother of your kids for God's sake Shiwoo. Are you just going to drop everything including me every time she calls? Are you just going to sneak out of bed when she needs someone to change her fucking light bulb? You know what just go. Go! Don't even come back!"

I was fuming and he was pleading, "Atalia please I have to. What if something bad happened to her? Baby please I promise you, I won't be long.

I folded my arms looking straight ahead as he begged and he sighed and left.

My heart broke when he walked out that door, but I held my chin up and I didn't shed a tear.

I closed all the doors as soon as he left and went back to bed, not caring of how he would come back in.

I woke up the next morning and got the kids ready for school, and myself for work, and we found him in the back yard sleeping on the porch, so we walked over him and went our way.

How dare he come back here after walking out on me.

If he thinks that I was going to take him back after this, he made a sad mistake.

The entire day at work I was out of it, stabbing holes in my eraser, punching holes into files, stapling unnecessary files, and the staff were getting worried.

"I'm sorry Miss Carter, but is there something bothering you? You files are quite important and I checked the destressing room and it is free. I don't know maybe you can drop by if you'd like."

I stopped the stabbing that I was doing to look him in the eye and he gulped as he hugged the files closer to his chest, "the 'distressing room' Lee? Are you saying that my anger is over the rails and that is why you think I should destress?"

He opened his mouth and closed it obviously nervous nd I rose a brow, "well no ma'am, I mean yes ma'am. It's just that you were murdering the eraser, and that is a sign of stress and you are you know pregnant- aaaand I j-just wanted to help you because its not-you know good for the baby and I-"

I held up my hand to stop his ranting, for he was on the verge of annoying me that would add even more to my anger, "Okay. I'll stop by. You can go."

I smiled warmly at him as I walked him to the door, and he eyed me weirdly and cautiously stepped outside and I chuckled.

I sighed as I sat back down on my chair as I ran my hand across my stomach, "I am so sorry baby for stressing you out. Mommy is really sorry, and to make it up to you I will treat you with ice cream."

I felt a tiny kick, and I smiled as I gently squeezed the area where they kicked.

They have been doing so for like a week now, but every time they do it feels like the first and I smile so widely with pride.

"Miss Carter?" I heard a voice called out from the other side of my office door followed by a knock.

"Come in." I said as I spun around now facing them awaiting for them to come in.

"Oh hello Miss Carter you look lovely as usual." she complimented and I smiled, "here is the address that you asked for, for a Miss Harin Kim. It says here that she has been working at a café near by her apartment and she works irregular hours. There is no telling when she will be off or on daily."

"Oh that's no problem Cassie thank you for your work." I said smiling as I took the files from her hands scanning through the pages, and she eye me weirdly.

"If I may ask Miss Carter, what are you going to do with this information?"

I smirked and I got up from my seat grabbing my jacket and my purse, "why don't you go home a little early this evening Cassie? You've earned it."

"Woah thanks boss." she said and I smiled stepping ass her, and she called after me when I placed my hand of the knob of my door about to open it and leave, "where are you going Miss Carter?"

I turned and looked at her smirking with an evil twinkling in my eye, "to tie up, how do you say...lose ends? Ciao!"

I smiled to myself as I rode the elevator down, and went directly to my car and got it reading the address one last time, before starting my car and heading there.

Hello Harin.

I am on my way.
