Chapter 36: 35 | Thank you

35 | Thank you

Kim | Caden

❝What happened? I heard that a VIP asked for you.❞

❝It wasn't him, Caden.❞

❝What do you mean?❞

❝It wasn't him! He wasn't the person who did that to me. I can't believe I blamed him for something that he didn't do.❞

❝Slow down. Tell me everything slowly.❞

❝He was the one who called for me. I was supposed to give him a tour of the company, but I didn't recognise him.❞

❝Oh, Kim. It's not your fault.❞

❝I know it's not my fault, but I feel so terrible! I can't believe I had accused him of doing something like that. ❞

❝Look, you know it's not your fault. You didn't ask to be born with this, did you?❞

❝But—❞

❝No buts. Look at me. You never asked for this, and you try so hard, every single day, just to tell one person apart from the others. You can't blame yourself for something that you have absolutely no control over. What's that gonna do? Cure you?❞

❝...❞

❝How can I help you feel better?❞

❝I just want to apologise.❞

❝Do you need my help with that?❞

❝Could you call and explain for me? I don't know if I'll be able to do it.❞

❝Sure, give me his number. I'll do it for you. Wash your face and get back to work, okay?❞

❝Okay.❞

❝Good.❞

❝Caden?❞

❝Yeah?❞

❝Thank you.❞

❝You know you don't have to thank me.❞
