A week later I yet again wake up with a raging headache, I barely make it out of bed til I start feeling nauseous, I run to the toilet and end up puking.

I've been feeling sick these two-ish weeks and it makes me even more uneasy realizing that my heart might be failing faster than expected, I guess it's a good thing Aaron transferred me so I won't have to come up with an excuse when I wanted to quit being his assistant to move across the country so no one knows I died.

But a part of me selfishly wants every last moment I have to be with Aaron,

I continue puking and after I do I slowly walk to my kitchen and grab some Saltine crackers I do some breathing exercises to help with nausea, I've had nausea before from heart failure but never this bad, it makes me question if a heartbreak can make heart failure fail faster? I don't know but it feels like it.

After getting ready for work I drive to the place Aaron told me I'm working at, I hope Mr wells is nice, I'm quite nervous having to work for someone new since I'll have to figure out how he likes things for the first couple weeks and that's going to suck quite a lot.

I enter the building after parking my car and see the front receptionist,

since this building is in a different area the coffee shop I would go to every morning isn't within walking distance so I had to make coffee at home, I decided to find a coffee shop nearby later.

"Good morning how may I help you," the blonde-haired woman asks looking up from her computer

"Good morning, my name is Vanessa Adler and I'm supposed to be Mr wells new assistant can you point me in the direction of his office" I smile kindly at the woman

She nods "of course, you just go over there and there should be elevators then go to floor forty and there's a receptionist on that level that will tell you from there" she smiles a little

"Thank you," I say before walking to the elevators, as I walk I bump into someone

I gasp "Henry? What are you doing here?" I ask confused

He laughs "I work here...what are you doing here?"

My mouth drops...of course, how can I be so stupid? I remember Aaron saying henry worked at the second-best design and remodeling building

"I work here as of today," I say quietly

He knits his eyebrows "wait why?"

I may or may not have failed to mention to henry that I got transferred when we had lunch together a few days ago...
