BPOV

I did end up joining Edward's company, but a year and half later. I had decided to continue with my previous company as I had got a good deal in the negotiation.

A lot had changed in the last year and a half.

Edward got married to... Tanya six months back! I didn't know why and how that happened, but they seemed happy with each other. It was none of my business, but I couldn't help thinking about why would he get married to Tanya in the whole world? They were very different people, and even their life goals seemed very different to me! I gossiped with Alice shamelessly about what could be the possible reason, but we couldn't figure out why he'd do so.

Tanya did seem to have changed a bit from the High school days though. She seemed a bit less snobbish now. Anyway, they seemed happy with each other, so it should not be my business.

Edward also had changed a lot. He was more focused and seemed more serious about everything now. His company was getting bigger with each passing day, so maybe he was too busy to fool around now.

My love life had also changed for the better. I was dating Riley Biers now. He didn't seem like an asshole yet, so that was good news!

"I know that we're not able to hit the target, but my question is, why?" Edward asked in the meeting. He was frustrated and angry for some reason.

"Well, Edward, I have shared the results with you before," Tyler said.

"Yes, I saw them, but it's not exactly what I've asked for," Edward replied.

"Well, the document has everything you had asked for," Tyler was also getting frustrated now.

"I had asked for five 'why's, and I don't see the answer for each of them," he said.

Well, to be honest, everything was indeed present in the document, and I wasn't sure why Edward was behaving very strangely today.

But before I could chime in, Edward received a call that was going to change everything.

"What?" he said as he answered the call, "How? Where?"
