DESTINED FOR YOU

Chapter 20: Warning ⚠️

A mixture of emotions took over Ana as she walked back home.

“What did that mean?” She wondered about what happened to Gabriel. Maybe it was revenge for what had happened at the supermarket, she thought. Then another thought invaded her mind, “He will be jealous because he likes me.”

When she got home, she was so exhausted that she fell into her bed and then fell completely asleep.

.....

_Anabella, she heard herself at the door.

Ana got scared and jumped on the bed. She walked towards the door and it was her aunt.

_Prepare something for lunch, come with me.

Hearing her words, fear filled her.

_Lunch? What time is it?

_It's 1 pm. I'm didn't know you had the day off.

_No. I fell asleep.

_Tell him that you had a family emergency.

_She should have warned in advance. Ana was very worried and the first thing she did was take her cell phone to make a phone call.

Low battery! She said her cell phone before turning off.

_Damn!.

_You worry too much. Put your cell phone on charge at my house, and come eat... You are very responsible with them, and yesterday you did a special shift, I found out, she said, winking.

_How do you know that?

_I'm went shopping at the supermarket, dear.

_Oh no!

Ana took her phone and walked with her aunt... It was difficult to find peace until what had happened was resolved. However, it was not the only thing that worried her because her aunt's behavior was very unusual, being kind was not her strong suit.

_What's happening? She asked as she served her plate.

_Nothing, she replied smiling.

Ana looked at him distrustfully, perhaps her intention was to ask him for money, it was something that wouldn't surprise him.

_If you run out of jobs, I could get you a better-paying one, she responded.

Ana remained silent while she remembered the comments her relatives made about the steps her aunt followed.

_So.... You can think about it.

_My cell phone has already turned on, she interrupted.

She called the housekeeper to tell her what happened, she was very worried because she knew that the lady is Henderson would not have mercy.

_I'm very sorry Anabella! But Mrs. Henderson just had a very important visit and we had to find a replacement.

_Is seriously?

_You know that I only follow orders, I have to leave you, she said and then cut off the phone.

_What happened? Her aunt asked with a big smile.

_Nothing, auntie, the boss wants to talk to me later, she reminded me that she wasn't working today, she smiled. Even if it were a lie, I prefer it to listening to a proposal from her aunt, who surely already had a candidate for her.

She ate quickly, after that she marched to her room to call Gabriel. She was very nervous about doing it, but it was urgent for her and only he could help her.

_What do you want? Gabriel responded in a dry and somewhat annoyed tone.

_Your grandmother has fired me. Have you had anything to do with it?

_No. And don't call me about these things, it's none of my business.

_I fell asleep from working all day... Talk to your grandmother, please!

_I think the best thing would be for me to find you a new job. I've already moved into my apartment and I don't need you. Don't call me again.

Gabriel's harsh words were like a dagger in her heart, she threw herself on her bed to cry for a while. What should she do? she asked herself.

After an hour she was getting ready to go to the supermarket, very discouraged.

She couldn't believe that Gabriel would be so insensitive to respond like that and erase her from her life just like it was nothing.

When she entered, she took her usual place. Ashley watched her from the other end with a big smile.

She remained in her place without understanding what was happening until the supervisor was responsible for informing her.

_Your admirer left you a present.

Ana looked where the boss was pointing and saw a huge bouquet of flowers and Ana couldn't help but smile.

_Whose is she?

_I don't know, focus on your work, the boss responded coldly.

Ashley's schedule had already come to an end, she took the note that was in the bouquet of flowers and gave it to Ana secretly.

_Tell me later, she responded with a big smile.

“Forgive me, I didn't know. But I am for you”

Ana's head was spinning as she tried to make sense of those words.

Gabriel?, she wondered...

The hours passed slowly, but finally her schedule concluded.

Ana checked the bouquet from her and at that moment she noticed something she had not seen before... Marcos' signature.

She quickly called him to ask, but she was stopped.

_I see you're not wasting your time, it was Gabriel who was leaning against her truck watching.

_Hello, greeting without giving it importance. She really liked Gabriel and in her world she had imagined a romantic story that never existed and Gabriel's indifference had hurt her.

_You are very rude, yesterday you said you were my girlfriend and now you walk around with a bouquet of flower.

_That's not your business.

_Yes it is... She said, took the flowers from her hand and threw them into the trash can.

_What are you doing! She responded very angrily.

_Get in the truck now!

_I won't do it.

_It's for your own good.

_No.

_Anabella, pay attention.

_No, she answered and turned around with her back to Gabriel. Then a loud crash was heard in the middle of the street and a body fell without warning.
