---- "He has probably waited long enough. Now he can finally be with his childhood sweetheart out in the open," I said. "Do you regret it?" Candice asked. "Used to. Not anymore," I said resolutely. Thinking back to this morning, the moment Royce opened the car door for me outside the airport, I felt the walls I built around my heart beginning to crumble. The next day, Candice called Lars. "Candice, it's the weekend," he growled, impatience evident in his tone. "Can't it wait until Monday?" Candice's tone was cold. "Bianca said there's a client file she's been working on for two months at your place. I'm calling to pick it up." Lars paused. "She asked you to come over?" "She's not coming back. This isn't just some drama. She's really gone," Candice said. "Not coming back?!" Lars snapped. "I didn't agree with the breakup! She's at home. I'll call her and..." ---- "She already blocked you," Candice cut him off. "I called her already. She's not even in Eastwind City anymore!" Heavy silence followed. Candice pressed on, "Lars, I may be working for you, but I'm also Bianca's friend and colleague. I have to tell you what I think-about how unfair things are for her! "Over the years, she gave you everything she had. You turned her love into bargaining chips, made her work through your startup, your business parties, and even while you healed your childhood sweetheart. You booked and shared a hotel suite with Pearl. Don't tell me you were just chitchatting through the night!" Lars was left speechless. "You've really lost her this time. She's gone!" Candice finished the call coldly. Lars dashed downstairs, not even bothering with his shoes, and raced out the door. Pearl chased him to the door. "Lars! Are you just going to leave me when I'm sick?" ---- But Lars didn't look back as he shouted, "Let go!" He sped all the way home. But this time, Bianca wasn't waiting for him anymore.
