Chapter 4 - Confession
Victor Hawthorne
I have something to tell you both.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became quite serious.
Victor Hawthorne
A new branch building is opening up in Country Y.
Emmett Weston
Wow, that expansion you were talking about is actually happening?
Victor Hawthorne
They finished constructing the building five months in advance.
Victor Hawthorne
I was supposed to stay here for a year and train someone to take over the position over there, but since they finished the building early, they urgently need management.
Emmett Weston
So, what you're saying is...
Victor Hawthorne
I'll be leaving for Country Y in two months.
Julia Weston
What? But you just got back...
Emmett Weston
Surely you aren't leaving already...
Emmett Weston
That isn't healthy, Vic.
Victor Hawthorne
It's been decided.
I can't believe this... surely this isn't real.
No, I can't be childish about this.
This isn't about us, it's about Victor's job.
If it's important to Victor, it's important to me.
Julia Weston
Well, we should enjoy the time that you have left here.
Julia Weston
Emmett, let's make sure to set time aside every week so we can do things like this with Vic before he leaves.
I can tell Emmett is worried about Victor's health, I am too.
But he needs to be supportive.
Emmett Weston
Every week, we meet up. Since Vic chose this restaurant, I get to choose what we do next!
Emmett Weston
And then, Julia can choose the following week what our location is.
Julia Weston
Sounds good to me!
Emmett and I both high-five each other and so, our plans were set.
Every week was a complete shock.
Emmett brought us golfing at an evening hotel. We ended up stealing a golf cart and driving it around the premises before returning it to its rightful place before leaving.
My week was food-themed. We went to a desserts buffet and I ate my fill of bite-sized cakes and cookies.
The weeks went by and our activities became more and more important as Victor's departure date approached. The weekend before his departure, Victor invited us both to a weekend resort that he owned.
We got to sleep in the Imperial suites, with the pool and beach right next to each other, and a private complimentary spa.
Emmett and I both sat on lounge chairs in our swim-suits, enjoying the shade underneath the huge parasol.
Emmett Weston
I'm craving ice cream...
Julia Weston
This heat feels so nice but at the same time, it's unbearable.
I slipped my sunglasses down and looked around.
Julia Weston
Where's Vic? I thought that he was coming down.
Emmett Weston
Hey, come to think of it, I've never seen him in anything but a suit.
Julia Weston
Hey, you're right!
Julia Weston
He wears them all the time, I would be surprised to see him in anything but one.
Emmett Weston
It's like someone taking off their glasses for the first time. You barely recognise them.
Julia Weston
Hm... well, while we're waiting, I'll get some ice creams for us both. Money?
He sighed and dove into his pocket, handing me a couple notes.
Emmett Weston
Get me something to drink as well. I'm so thirsty.
As I walked away, little did I know about the eyes that were looking right at me.

Chapter 4 Commentary - by AmateurVanessa
I'm heartbroken!
After returning after being gone for a while, Victor reveals that he has to leave again.💔
As is the life of a busy businessman, I guess. So to make up lost time, Julia and Emmett decide to go out every week to spend time together as best friends.
We end the chapter with them at a fancy resort in bathing suits (I'd give a cookie to whoever let me look at Emmett's chocolate bar). I bet Julia looks so hot, Victor would combust upon seeing her😜😍.
Thanks for reading my commentary! I commentate every chapter, so look for me!
