---- Chapter 8 Unexpected Visitor I thought she was tired. It had been a long day, after all. However, she broke the silence, asking, ''Do you still have feelings for Winona?" This wasn't her usual self. I could hear a hint of nervousness in her voice. I gripped the steering wheel tightly, my eyes focused on the road ahead of me. My mind was fishing for memories I was trying to forget. And I smiled. "We're done. We've been done for a while now." Yvonne looked at me. There was something swirling in her eyes, then she put on a relaxed act. "It's a waste, if you ask me. Five years. You're just going to let it go?" I said nothing for a while and took a deep breath. Like I said, I'd be lying if I said I had no feelings after going through five years. Still, that didn't matter if my love was poured to the wrong person. ---- I did not want to talk about Winona. I did not want to take a trip down the memory lane I never wanted to visit. The street lamps on the road zipped by us like comets. Yvonne said nothing more. Winona, however, was not going to give up that easily. Days later, she started showing up at my company-and frequently. Every time I saw her, I could see the discontent in her eyes. She kept texting me, calling me, and staying at the company like a stubborn grease that refused to leave. I avoided her every single instance. No, I would never give her any opening. She could act like she was the most loving, most loyal woman the world had ever seen, and it wouldn't matter to me. Another weekend came again. I was working overtime, while Yvonne was refilling my refreshments. ---- Winona showed up at my office out of nowhere. She was staring at me from the entrance. "We need to talk, Nathaniel." I frowned and turned around, but I said nothing. Yvonne looked at me. "You guys talk. I need to get something." She avoided Winona and hurried out of my office. Winona saw her off, her eyes flickering with contempt. "You-" She wanted to say something, but Yvonne was already out of range. I turned back and looked at Winona. "There's nothing to talk about. You're just going to make it all about you. Like how life's unfair to you, and how you were forced into a cruel position, and how you never meant any harm. "I'm a busy man, Winona. I don't have time for your worthless chatter. Leave." Winona couldn't believe it. She wasn't expecting me to be so straightforward. She grabbed the edges of my office door, her eyes filled with agony. "Do you really ---- not care about me, Nathaniel?" "Yeah, I don't," I answered without even missing a beat. "You made a choice. You've chosen the man you think is worth your love and time, and that man isn't me." Tears filled her eyes, but she said nothing. Slowly, she left my office. From that day onward, Winona never came to me again.
