158 A question of "what ifs"

Matthew Hayez paused and looked at his wall clock. It was getting to 23: 30PM and Willow closed around 00:00AM. He closed the file he was working on and yawned, stretching his limbs.

The door opened and his office secretary whose name was Melissa walked with a bag. She placed it on the table and said to him, ''Mr. Hayez, Chloe told me to give this to you. She said she is going to get the car ready and that you can come down any moment when you are done''

''Sure, thanks Melissa''

Melissa looked at the box in the bag and asked curiously, ''Sir, that is Park Chocolate, right? They are very expensive and hard to come by''

''You like chocolate too?''

''Sir, chocolates are every girl's sweetheart. Are you going to give this to your fiancée?''

''No, I am giving it to my wife'' Matthew Hayez replied and stood up.

''Mr. Hayez, did you get back together with Erika? But, I heard she left the country'' Melissa asked and Matthew Hayez frowned.
