When I got to work I noticed that I was quite earlier than usual and there was no one on our floor yet. The thing that troubled me the most was that Andrew starting work today will be on the same floor with us.

I can't imagine the torture he's going to put me through in this place. I heaved a sigh as I thought about the things he's capable of doing.

After a while most of the staff started arriving and I was relieved to see them.

Andrew walked in and everyone comported themselves, it was still bothersome to me as to why he chose to be on the floor with my team, he's supposed to have a different floor, that would save him the stress of seeing my ugly face everyday. But he chose to be petty and decided to choose my floor.

I heaved a sigh when he walked past my desk. I know he's not going to be easy on me, he's here to frustrate me.

Just as I was thinking my land phone rang and I picked it immediately. He didn't even settle well before deciding to call me.

    Writers povI finally had the opportunity to leave the office for lunch, while Jacob, Anna and I were eating. I couldn't get over the shock I felt when I heard the senior staff call my name with so much anger. At this point it had already gotten very tiring but I had no other choice but to keep the job. That's the only way I can provide what my kids need even though Tristan was already helping. I didn't want to put the load on him because of his good will.“Why do you look sad Bella?” Anna asked, she was clearly feeling bad for me and that's something I don't want. I don't want any of them to feel pity for me.“I'm fine Anna, just stressed.” I replied to her. Jacob was quiet all through the time we were talking. After the last time he told me about his feelings he hasn't talked about it again which made me feel bad because I didn't even give him any response. I don't know if he still feels bitter about it or if he has decided to let go of the feelings he has for me. I couldn't stop
