Chapter 996: Final destination
She looked at her watch again on her wrist, tapping it as if it would stop it from ticking. But she knew there was nothing she could do now. She was not going to make it in time. Even if she beat all the red lights, she would still be late.
It was her fault that she had forgotten about their anniversary. For the first time, her fiance beat her to it. For sure, he would not let this one slide. He would milk this incident up to the last drop.
Still, she could not help but let a smile creep into her lips at the thought that he had prepared something special for them. She could not wait to see him and his surprise.
But at that moment, she had to focus on her job as her clients looked at her. They were expecting her to say something.
“I hope you like the place because I believe this is perfect for you.” She finally said to the couple who had been listening to her attentively as she presented the last feature that was the main selling point of the place.
“Can you give us a minute to discuss this?” The woman smiled at her, assuring her that everything was fine. She did not mind since decisions like this needed both parties to decide.
She watched the two confer with each other, excusing themselves from her as they moved to the open space that led to the swimming pool. She could still see them from afar, observing their body language. But still, she gave them the privacy they needed.
.....
Nonetheless. she could more or less determine if the couple had any interest in purchasing the house or still having second thoughts. So far, she believed she might have a chance with this one as she saw them walk back to the room with a satisfied smile.
Once standing before her, her male client smiled at her and asked. “How fast can you draw up the paper works?” Of course, that was her cue to close the deal.
Several minutes later, she was saying goodbye to the lovely couple, wishing them the best of luck in their wedding. Then, she rushed down the steps toward her car, parked not far from the house.
She could not help but think of her wedding and the day that they would also choose the house that would fit perfectly for them. But for now, she was basking in her glory, another achievement under her belt.
She could not wait to share with her date the good news, but before that, she had to text him that she was running late. She did not want him to worry or think she had stood him up, not tonight.
I AM SORRY. SORRY. SORRY.
I AM LATE, BUT I AM ON MY WAY.
I LOVE YOU, AND I AM SORRY AGAIN.
She quickly pressed send and focused her eyes back on the road. She was lucky to meet such an incredible guy. He was far from perfect, but he was the man that she loved.
Truthfully, he had a long list of flaws that she almost gave up on him. However, he had managed to turn his life around, addressing those flaws and changing himself because he wished to be a better man for her.
“There is no need to rush.” She internally chimed in her mind, knowing he would wait for her even if it took her hours to get there.
She checked her speedometer, not wanting to go fast. The last thing she needed was to see a blinking light following her behind because she had exceeded the speed limit.
“Not tonight.” She mumbled again as she firmly gripped the steering wheel. Nothing would stop her this time from getting to her destination.
Suddenly, she regretted that she had accepted this meeting with a client. She would have declined it if she had remembered this special day. But it was too late to cancel since the clients were already on the way.
She also contemplated ditching this meeting, but it would not look good on her record. Besides, her client was about to get married. She did not want to ruin their intent to find their dream house when she had picked the ideal place.
Selling houses or an estate was not just forcing people to buy a property. It was also an art and an act. She must present the land and the house as if it was the most beautiful thing they had ever seen.
Then she had to convince them that it was perfect and the only place they would want to build their family, grow old and eventually form memories and legacies.
Then, her phone suddenly rang as she was about to turn. Expecting it to be her date checking on her, she immediately answered without looking at the screen.
“Yes, darling. I am sorry...” But she stopped when the other voice did not resemble the person she expected to be on the other line. Instead, it was her boss inquiring about the client.
Of course, she immediately related the good news to her immediate boss, proudly telling him that she had made a great deal. She did work on commissions. The better the price, the larger her take-home pay would be.
“I know I can always count on you.” Her boss praised her, promising her that she had the promotion in the bag. She gradually stopped at the red light as she finished her report to her boss.
“I will hold your word on that.” She could not stop the butterflies that fluttered in her stomach. She had been waiting for this moment for the longest time. Now, they had more to celebrate as she excitedly ended the call.
She knew she could not wait to tell him the good news. It might not be a hundred-million-dollar contract deal that he was used to, but it was one of her top accounts, and she was proud of it.
Therefore, she grabbed her phone again, swiping and tapping on it. Then, she waited for the ring to buzz on the speaker, but sadly, it did not connect. Her phone died on her. She realized that she might have forgotten to charge it earlier.
“I guess my news will have to wait.” She mumbled as she giggled in her seat out of her excitement. She could not believe that everything was falling into place. Her dreams were finally coming true.
All the things she had done and had achieved, all her hard work was not just for her. It was also for her family, who had always depended on her. She knew her fiance did not understand the value of her family to her, but soon, she hoped that he would also learn to value his.
She firmly believed that family was a fundamental foundation of any relationship. Marriage was not just a union of two people but the merging of two families.
If he did not have good relations with his family, how could his family accept her into their fold? The same went with hers. However, he still had a few things to deal with before she could agree to take a plunge with him. There was still time to change things for the better.
“Now, what do you want?” She exasperatedly asked as she noticed a car in her rearview mirror, repeatedly honking behind her.
In front of her, she could see the stop light ahead, but it was still green. She knew she still could make it before it turned red. But it seemed that the other car behind her wanted her to speed up, probably in a hurry too.
However, she was not letting the other driver bully her on the road. She kept her speed and eyes focused on the road.
She could see that she was not far from the restaurant, just a few more blocks. Then, she would sit across from the man she planned to spend the rest of her life with someday. Then, they could have thousands of dinners together.
But as she passed the line, she noticed the green light had quickly turned red. “That was close.” She breathed a sigh of relief. It would not have been such a big deal if it had been another time. She would not be in such a hurry.
But tonight, she knew she could not wait a minute longer to see him. However, something seemed wrong as the honking stopped, but a screeching and metallic crushing sound echoed behind her.
Automatically, her gaze landed on the rearview mirror. But before she could process what was happening behind her, she felt her eyes shift from the road ahead to her side. Then, she was suddenly spinning.
She did not understand what was happening as everything around her spun out of control. Her world was swirling as her body flung in every direction.
“Help! Stopped!” But her screams appeared to fall on deaf ears. Then, she realized nobody else could help her except herself.
Therefore, she gripped the wheels tightly and finally pressed on the brakes as hard as her feet could take it.
But it felt it was no use until everything went still.
Was it over?
She could feel her heart beating wildly inside her chest. She believed that was a good sign as she breathed deeply, holding onto her chest. She must have survived with minor injuries as she felt her fingers and her toes.
But suddenly, she partially had to cover her eyes due to a blinding light coming from the rearview window.
But beyond the bright light, she saw it.
There it was, her final destination.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
