A Little More than Strangers Chapter 38
“Did you wait long?” Cassie asked when she saw Via waiting near the entrance of the subdivision. “No. I just arrived here, she replied as she entered her best friend’s car. As soon as she was settled, Cassie started maneuvering towards the main house. Silence reigned between the two and Cassie noticed her best friend's discomfort. Knowing Via's family history, she could tell how anxious her best friend was at that moment. “I’m not really sure if this is a good thing, but I want you to know that I’ll always take your side,” Cassie assured her as she squeezed her hand. “How were the kids?” Via asked, trying to divert the topic. Truth be told, she was not just anxious about meeting her dad again. She was more worried about the kids; they were much more vulnerable with rejection compared to her. “They were fine.

“Dad…” Via’s lips trembled as she called for the familiar man before her. He was still the same. She would always find him seated in his working area whenever she went to his office. Her father's head snapped up at the sound of her voice, and there was a stunned silence for a moment. Then, in a move that took her completely by surprise, he stood up and hurried over to her, enveloping her in a tight hug. Via froze, her body stiff with shock. She couldn't remember the last time her father had hugged her like this, with such raw emotion. "I'm sorry, my child," her father whispered, his voice thick with regret. The tears threatening to spill finally broke free, streaming down her cheeks. She had never expected to hear those words from him, words she had longed for all these years. With just those words, all the fear and the pain that she thought she had forgotten was completely washed away. Something heavy was lifted from her chest, and she could not stop herself from bawling her eyes

"What got you smiling, Via?" Jessica teased as soon as she noticed Via's mood after her meeting with the CEO. "You noticed Mr. Nakamura's gorgeous looks? Ain't he dashing?" Via blushed as her eyes widened. "What are you saying?" "What?" Jessica giggled. "Mr. Nakamura's appearance is to die for! Everyone wants to be noticed by him since he is also very single!" "I don't know what you're talking about." Via shook her head as she laughed at her workmate’s teasing. "I was just doing my job." "Oh, come on, Via," Jessica said, nudging her playfully. "I saw the way you came out of his office. Your cheeks were pink, and you had that little sparkle in your eye." "You're imagining things," Via insisted, though she couldn't help the smile that tugged at her lips. "Sure, sure," Jessica said, rolling her eyes. "But just so you know, you're not alone. Every woman in this office has a crush on him, even some of the married ones. He’s like a real-life prince charming with those suits and

"Olivia, there's a call for you from the CEO's office," Jessica called her after she answered the phone."Maybe that's about the file Mr. Rodriguez told me to deliver yesterday. I'll go there!" Via enthusiastically went to the CEO's office."You're here," Cathy, the CEO's secretary, welcomed her with a smile. "The CEO had a few questions about the proposal from the HR department.""Sure. May I enter the office now?" Via smiled when Cathy opened the door for her.Via stepped into the office and was immediately struck by its imposing atmosphere. The room was spacious, with high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that offered a panoramic view of the city skyline.

But that didn't mean she would slack off—far from it. If anything, Via felt even more driven to make the most of her time at the office.Via dove into her work, tackling each task with precision and determination. She was focused, efficient, and a little competitive, pushing herself to exceed her expectations. She lost track of time as she immersed herself in her projects, the hours flying by in a blur of productivity.As the clock ticked closer to the end of her shift, Via's phone rang, jolting her out of her concentration. She glanced at the caller ID and saw her brother's name flashing on the screen. Curious, she answered the call."Hey, Collin. What's up?" Via greeted him, trying to mask the hint of anxiety in her voice."Hey, Via. I need you to come to the main house after work," Collin said,
