Iris:
I walked out of his room holding a file in my hand, the file he gave me after he told me to leave. The door to his room stayed open as I stepped out. I did not even close it. I was too stunned to react to anything.
Then I heard his voice behind me.
"Do not ever accuse me. Remember, it was your decision to want this rejection."
His voice carried from inside the room. I did not know what file he had given me or what it was about, but I held it tightly and wandered out of the hall.
The minute I reached the living room, I saw his mother and sister share a glance before looking at me.
"You two rejected each other?" Lady Vivian asked.
I did not respond. I could not. I was too stunned by how everything had turned out. I did not even know why I was shocked. I had come here to talk about rejection, so why did it still feel like the ground had slipped from under me?
