Chapter 25: A day off.

"Aiden." 

Arwen blinked, as if she had expected to hear something else. Her brows furrowed, but then she heard him speak again. 

"That's my name," Aiden said before continuing, "And if you don't remember me well enough, it only means we haven't met before." 

Even though he had said it that way, Arwen sensed a bitterness in his tone as if the words didn't sit well with him. "Really?" 

"Sir, ma'am, are we going to wait here for more time?" Emyr asked, not understanding why the couple had suddenly stopped halfway. His gaze shifted between Arwen and Aiden, completely lost. 

Just when he was about to apologize for interrupting and walk away, he heard his boss say, "We aren't waiting. Go and get the car ready." 

Emyr nodded promptly as he took a step towards the car, but then Arwen spoke up, "I might not be able to come with you."
