If she had known that she would see Adkins today, she would never have gotten out of the taxi wearing nothing but a black suit with messy hair and no makeup.
If she had known she'd ever see Adkins again, she would never have gotten engaged to another guy.
If she had only known...
Adkins appeared out of nowhere. They hadn't seen each other in ten years. He looked exactly Like he did in the news report. Handsome as ever.
His short hair was meticulously combed to the back of his head, and a pair of gold rimmed glasses sat on his high nose. His thin Lips were tightly pursed, and his expression was serious and determined.
‘This can't be real! I must be seeing things."
She rubbed her eyes. ‘I worked too late, that's it. I can't see or think straight. The man I miss so much is not sitting in that car. No way.'
She must be dreaming. That was it. Because she'd dreamed a lot about him for the past ten years.
Mollie ran off in a hurry and entered the community, forgetting to pick up the purse she dropped.
Adkins opened the back door and swung his legs out, his brand-new black leather shoes glinting in the light of the streetlamp. Then the man got out of the car. He bent down to pick up the delicate purse on the ground and swiped the dirt away with a flick of his wrist.
“Sir, it's getting Late. Your flight leaves in an hour." The driver noted his unusual behavior. He was also the man's secretary, so he thought it prudent to remind him of his duties.
Adkins gave one Last look through the gate and got back into the car.
He had never rummaged through anyone's purse before. This was a first for him.
Adkins was so curious about her life, so he opened her purse. To his surprise, there was a picture in the pink wallet. It was his picture.
The photo was a two-inch photo of him when he was still a student. It was well preserved with a Layer of plastic.
Before getting out of the car, he ordered his secretary, “Look into her background. I want to know everything.”
The secretary nodded, "Yes, Adkins."
She was indeed engaged, but the two of them had their own separate lives. She had no interest in dating anyone, and got engaged to the guy so other men would leave her alone. Her fiance's family wanted him to get married soon, so he made a deal with her.
Three months later
A woman walked into the Law firm where Mollie worked, and asked to see her. She was obviously rich-designer threads, elegant demeanor, great teeth, fit but not overly muscular, and a face that said she was used to being able to afford anything she wanted.
“Mollie, a lady by the last name of Leonard is looking for you,”
Mollie's assistant told her on the phone.
Mollie was so busy that she told her assistant directly, “I'm too busy.
Ask her to make an appointment. Thank you!"
However, less than two minutes after they ended their conversation, someone opened the door to her office and let herself in.
