Chapter: Chapter 10Lia's POV The drive home was excruciating. I kept thinking about whether I was going the same way they went or if I turned down a street that I never drove down would I meet them. I kept wondering, feeling my heart race and refused to stop thinking about a man that clearly didn't want me. The issue: I wanted him. I wouldn’t call it love but this crush was something else. Why did he have her come there? He could have spoken to her over the phone and went to meet her there but instead he chose to torture me. I never should have said what I did but what’s done is done. I took a deep breath before I entered the apartment knowing that Claire would start to question me about what happened and wanted when I lied to her and told her it was okay that she would believe me and let it go. I twisted the knob and walked in to find the place empty though and let out a breath I did not realize I was holding. She wasn’t home, I’m safe for a little bit. I took a shower letting the water run down my

Chapter: Chapter 9Nia's POV My feet are the most confusing thing on the planet. They don't move when I need them to but proceed to turn into the flash the second I need them to stay firm. I did not want to enter that office. I shouldn't have entered the office. I shouldn't have wanted to enter the office despite my fear. Yet here I was clearly making my way into the office. I heard the door shut behind me, it wasn't loud yet the sound made me jump out of fright. I wanted to get this over with and move on. I know I would feel the embarrassment for at least a week and then finally be able to look him in the eyes. But that thought did nothing to calm down my flaring nerves that were slowly becoming overwhelmed by the constant arguing in my mind that told me to run and stay. It's like having an angel and a devil on my shoulder but neither of them liked me. I slowly turned around to look at my smirking boss and knew that he was enjoying my discomfort. Jerk face. Childish I know but it had to be sa

Chapter: Chapter 8Nia's POVAs the call ended I stood shell shocked, Claire standing beside me in the same state. I prayed that whatever just happened was a part of my imagination, that the wine completely messed up my mind. However the fact that my best friend was experiencing the same shock I was feeling made me certain that what just happened was not some crazy storyline my mind decided to play out.Claire slowly moved away from me to the couch placing herself on it and then burst out laughing. I mean I can see how the situation would seem funny, but when it affects you then nothing about it makes you wanna laugh. This is a man that I will have to face tomorrow whether I like it or not. I know for certain that I would rather be dead right now or eating a entire bottle of mayonnise instead of having to go into work tomorrow.Claire's laughter continued while my body still refused to move, and though I know I would need to soon, I didn't mind standing here believing the world was no longer moving.

Chapter: Chapter 7Nia's POV I don't know why I said that.Truth; I don't want to like my boss. It does me no good and will just cause a lot of hurt. I will have to see him bringing in a new woman make me feel like hell. I don't want to feel this.So being away from him could help make this better and easier."Away from me? Is that suppose to make sense?" he questioned with that brow raised.I looked at him baffled. I know I spoke English so I am certain that he understood me. So yes, it was suppose to make sense. A great deal of sense at that."Yes. Your presence is something I want to avoid." I retorted. "That's pretty ungrateful Ms. Richardson." he smirked looking me."Ungrateful?" I questioned?He looked at me and nodded. His height making me feel small in front of him. Can't he stoop down a bit so I can focus instead of standing there looking at me like that. Like a lion knowing he got his prey cornered. And I'm not making it any better because I know I look just like a prey and I would be surpri

Chapter: Chapter 6Nia's POVHe fired her. Because of me he fired her.Everyone looked at the commotion in front of them with wide eyes. They continuously shifted their eyes between my boss firing an employee and back to me. I myself could not believe what I was witnessing. "But sir I was simply asking a question. I simply demanded a reason why I lost is that so wrong?" Penelope pleaded. "There you go again. What do you mean 'demanded', what gives you the right to demand anything from me." my boss interrogated. Her mouth opened and closed like a goldfish unable to come up with a response that can save her job it seemed.This entire thing was giving me a mini panic attack.I was now walking towards them in hope that I could resolve the issue.I stood in front of both of them and cleared my throat to catch their attention.Mr. Andrews turned his head to look at me and raised brow, as if asking me why I was there."I am honestly gonna be fine with her working here I don't have an issue you don't need

Chapter: Chapter 5Nia's POVWho drew who now? There aren't many things I'm sure of, but one is that Mr. Andrews does not think of me outside of work unless it's planning new ways to torture me. So, I'm sure that I heard David wrong. Mr. Andrews shouldn't have any problem denying and telling him to shut up and stop talking nonsense so why is he sitting there wide eyed like a deer caught in headlights? "For real she's the spitting image of the drawing." Darion piped up agreeing. "Both of you shut up she's not the one from my drawing." Mr. Andrews said glaring them both down. I could see them visibly gulp. "Now that I'm looking closely, she really does look different." David squeaked out. Weird. I decided not to pay attention to it and continue with my work and serving Mr. Andrews. After all there is no reason for my boss to be dreaming about me or drawing me. Like I've said before he has plenty of options and he's made it clear I'm not one. "Time for both of you to find something to do with you
