The staff started to quiet down and Charlie began to read the finally letter which was for Zoe

Dear Zoe

By the time you read this letter I will be gone but hopefully I have had the courage to tell you how I feel about you face to face.

Zoe you have turned my left upside down, I would give anything to go back in time and changed what happened between us as I was a fool to ever have left you. I would love to be the one that you love, the one that wakes up beside you every day and the one who holds your hand and am able to call you my wife, but this cannot be as you have moved on.

As long as you are happy I am happy to give all this up, there is just one thing I want you to know and that is that to me you will always be my million pound girl.

PS: don't spend it all on shoes

All my love

Nick

Science filled the staffroom which was already full of awkwardness, everyone knew that love as strong as nick and zoe's would never die but they never knew how much nick loved zoe and this made zoe feel even worse. Charlie took Zoe's cheque out of the envelope without looking as he knew that nicks love for Zoe would probably reflect in how much she got.

Zoe took and cheque and looked at it and her eyes nearly popped out of her head, she knew that nick had money and lots of it but she had allays guessed that he had spent his money on his flat, his car and his many designer suits.

"Let's see" said Tess taking the cheque off Zoe who was froze to the spot

Tess smiled as she saw how much Zoe got, even though Tess knew that Zoe had enough money and didn't need it.

"Bloody hell" said Charlie looking over Tess shoulder

max snatched the cheque off zoe cause he was eager to find out how much she had got, max smiled when he saw the amount written on the cheque, max got his hand and ran it across the part which said 1 million, then max held the cheque up to the light and before he knew it zoe had snatched it back off him.

"No no no, I don't deserve this" said Zoe standing up "I broke a dying man's heart for god's sake"

"Zoe he knew before you even told him that you didn't love him anymore but he wants you to be happy" said Tess

Zoe didn't say anything she just set the cheque down and ran to her office, the slam of the door could be heard back to the staffroom; Zoe was surprised to see Connie in the office as she thought that she would be in the staffroom.

"Are you ok" said Connie

Zoe didn't say a word she just clasped into the sofa and passed Connie the letter, Connie's eyes widened as she read it.
