Chapter 12 – I Hate You

Sophia Celastio

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. After sitting on my chair for 5 hours straight, I’m done. I looked at my watch and it’s 5.17, I stood up from my chair and stretched my body a little bit.

I walked out from my office with the contract in my hand, I found my brother’s office lights were still on and made my way there. I opened his office door and he’s typing something. He looked up to me.

“Hey sis.”

“Hey, how’s the deal yesterday?” I asked and he sighed.

“Dad was pissed and decline the deal.” Cole sighed. He raised his eyebrows at me and I quickly passed the contract and let him read. I plopped on the seat in front of him and waited for him to finish reading the contract. He took his pen and signed it.

“Thanks.” I said simply and he nodded. He must be so stressed out working. I wish he can have a vacation.

I walked out from his office and gave the contract to my secretary so she can send it. My phone rang and I ran to my office room to get it. I unplugged it from the charger and looked at my phone screen.

Asshole.

My hands unconsciously pressed the green button and I put my phone to my ear.

“Hello, beautiful.” He greeted me.

“Hey.” I answered as I tidied up my desk.

“Let’s have a dinner together.” He said and I stopped. Should I reject him or not?

“You rejected me a lot. Can you give me a chance?” He asked and I sighed.

“Fine.” I said.

“I’ll pick you up from your office okay? Be there in 10.”

“Okay.” I ended the call and continued to tidy up my desk. I walked to the mirror to check myself. Do I look okay? Wait! Why would I care? I looked myself at the mirror and sighed.

The scene from last week kept rewinding in my head and I still can’t believe that I had made out with Aaron with so much passion and need, in the restroom of all places.

Call me insane but the attraction was getting bigger and thicker. If I didn’t shove him away soon, I would get hurt. Aaron isn’t the type to date, he doesn’t settle down either.

I decided to stop thinking and let my heat take me wherever it wants, I walked out from the office and went down to the lobby. My phone rang beeped and it was Aaron telling me that he’s here.

I saw his car and got in. He smiled and gave me a peck on my lips before stepping on the gas.

“Where are we going?” I asked.

“My penthouse.” He said.

“I thought we’re going to eat dinner.” I turned to him.

“Babe, we’re eating dinner at my penthouse. You’ll love the view.” He smiled and suddeny I felt nervous thinking that we’ll be alone at the penthouse.

“How’s work today?”

“Had a lot of stress, but I got the job done.” I answered and my phone rang. I took it out from my bag and it was Josh.

“Hey.” I answered.

“Hey Sophia, how are you?” He asked.

“Good, so what’s up?”

“I’m in town tomorrow, do you want to have lunch together tomorrow?” He asked and I chuckled.

“I’d love too, until when will you-“ My phone was taken by Aaron. My eyes widen as he put the phone to his ear.

“Josh Curt.” Aaron said coldly.

“She’s with me, don’t you dare trying to see my girlfriend!” That made me glare at him. I tired to take the phone back but he held it tightly.

“Give me back my phone, you asshole!” I hissed. That line made him furious so much and after that he ended the call and gave the phone back.

“What the hell, Aaron!” I hissed.

“Don’t even answer his call again, Sophia.” He said in a serious tone.

“Who are you telling me what to do? If you make me reject his calls then I’m going to do the same to you. I’ll block yours.” I said completely mad.

“Try to ignore mine, you won’t like the idea of that.” He said in a really serious and cold tone.

He’s so controlling! He might be a big boss, but he has no rights to control me! I hate his guts..

“Pull over to the side, let me go home!” I said to him but he’s completely ignoring me.

“Let’s end this, Aaron. I don’t want to have any type of relationship with you. I hate you!” I bursted. Aaron suddenly stepped on the brake making my body jerked to the front.

“Out!” He said. I opened the door and got off his car. He drove away as soon as I closed the door. Curse him!

I can’t believe this but at least he’s gone right? He will never hit on me again after this. I mean I did it, I pushed him away. I smiled and walked to the nearest restaurant. I need to eat so I can forget about the incident today.

I’m so done with Aaron.
