The One That Got Away ~ Ran Haitani

Chapter 6

((Friday Night))

Doku was in his office reading over some documents about his club when all of a sudden he hears a knock on his door.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

Doku-"What is it?"

"Its me."

Doku- "And? I told everyone here not to bother me on Friday Nights.."

"Its about THEM."

Doku stops what he was doing.

Doku- "Who's THEM?"

He said alittle quieter.

"Take a wild guess..."

Doku clenches his fist a bit.

Doku- "Are they with you right now?"

"No, they're in the VIP lounge...But they want to speak to you."

Doku sighs before turning to look at the clock.

16:37.

Doku then rubs his face a bit then gets up to open the door.

Doku- "Did they say how long they'll be staying for?"

"They said they planned to be in town all weekend."

Doku cursed under his breath before pulling out his phone to shoot a quick text before turning his attention back to his worker.

Doku- "Bring them in."

The worker nods and walks back to the club lounge.

Doku leans against his door frame as he watches his worker walk off until he turns the corner.

Doku- "Well there goes my fucking plans..."

Doku sighs then thinks for a second before pulling out his phone to dial a number.

"Are you here?.......Alright, I got a favor to ask..."

He then looks around the hall to make sure its cleared before closing the door to his office so no one could listen to his conversation.

BOSS- Don't come in, I'm busy this weekend.

Never in your life did you think you'll ever see those words displayed on your phone screen.

You were relieved because now you can use your free time to stay with your daughter.

If only he had sent that text BEFORE you got ready.

BEFORE you did your hair.

BEFORE you put on your long coat to cover your 'work' clothes.

BEFORE you dropped your daughter off with your neighbor.

BEFORE you started doing your makeup in the car.

And BEFORE you were a few lights away from your destination.

But you'd rather do all of this for NOTHING than to go through with it.

After everything that has been going through your head all week, you were just relieved that you have the weekend off.
