บท 6: Chapter 14 Like A Dream

((( Rhio POV's )))

Sleep felt like a dream. I was awoken early by a phone call. It was Deo.

"What is it?" I slurred.

"The news has reached the company's major stakeholders. They knew your father has died," his tone felt anxious. "They called for an early conference and your presence is direly requested."

"I'll be there before eight." I hung up the phone and closed my eyes for a few more seconds. My body felt less heavy compared to last night. I was so exhausted when I got home that I went straight to sleep without even changing clothes.

A knock rapped on my door.

"Come in."

It was Sya holding a tray of food. I did forget to eat last night.

"Leave it there on the table," I said as I went for the toilet.

My reflection stared back at me like a ghost. My face has lost its healthy color and was pallid from exertion. The chilly water helped a bit but the foresight of the conference and my father's corpse coming in later made my fate heat up. I'm so done with everything.

"Are they here?" I asked from inside.

"Not yet."

I nodded in reply, dressed up and went to the car without even touching the food Sya made for me.
