Chapter 25

Yep, that's it. When I told Carson about it. He became about serious our relationship and asked for my hand a month later. My aunt was furious and threatened me not to even think of it. But, I was so blinded, that I ran away from her. I mean, it's a good and bad thing that I did. The good thing was if I hadn't run away, she'd married me off to a guy I had no idea who he was. Maybe to an old man, who knows? And the bad thing was I ran away only for my heart to be broken two years later by a man who promised to love, me forever. Oh, my poor heart. I hated talking about Carson, it brings me some unknown feelings. Getting out of the elevator, there was another one I had to enter still. But someone stopped me. Gwyneth. "Miss Carl.." She called. She was too formal. "Oh, just call me Tessa," I said giving her a friendly smile. She returned the smile, but if possible, even friendlier. "Yes. Tessa, So.. You're going home? It's not yet 4 pm.." She said analyzing me. I nodded my head.
