I type constantly on my laptop about the financial report as my mind swims through the past few moments she re-entred in my life.
The same wavy long black hair,same brown eyes,same height,same cuteness and same vibe which said 'I may act like a badass but I am a bubbly girl.You can tell me anything and I will fix it'.
Just this time my life wasn't same still the thoughts of that black haired girl clouded my mind.It is glued to my life like a stubborn chewing gum which just keeping sticking to my mind more I try to get rid of it.
I press the intercom."Yes,sir?",Shelly's voice comes through the intercom."Call Ms.Morerrti from the archetituer section.",I said. My voice deep
and stern.
"Yes,sir.",she said.She knows
more than to ask me questions.Five years working under me she got her lesson.
After a few minutes the door of my office bursts open. "Oops!",a voice said as I see South walking towards me with tripping on his heels and doing a catwalk like the cat has a wounded leg.
"Mr.Reynolds you called me?",she asks but her eyes were down glaring at something.I can tell from her face that she wants to smack her heels in the wall.
"Eyes up here,Ms.Morerrti.",I said clearing my throat and covering my amusement which was threating to spill from my eyes.I am thankful that my total disability to show every emotion of mine is gone now like a poof of smoke.
She looks up and her brown eyes looks calculated like she is trying to find a hint of my old self in me. My purposely showing her my six fingers have worked.
"Sir,you called? ",she asks and I can see from her face she is too nervous to ask and too stubborn to forget.
"You forgot me.",I said and her face pales.Shock written on her face."What I mean to say, You forgot my advice, Ms.Morerrti.",I said snapping her from the thoughts going in her mind.
I smirk satisfied with my troubling her."What?No,no,no.You are Ad, aren't you.Adrian Reynolds not Aaron.Yes!It is you!",she exclaims jumping up in her louboutin.I am sure her heels broke and looking at me with wide eyes.I was getting angry by second. If she is so happy to see me why did she rejected me?Why wasn't I enough for her?Questions swimming in my mind with harsh answers attached to it.
"No, Ms.Morerrti.I am not.I am Aaron Reynolds.Not Adrian.I am sure you are mistaken.
I want you to give the next presentation.That's all why I called you here.You are dismissed.",I said coldly in a voice that sounded inhumane even in my ears.A look of sadness flashes on her face before she covers it with an apologetic smile.
"Oh,I am sorry,sir.I will presentation the next design, then.Excuse me.",she said and leaves the room tripping on her heel.Her head down like she is disappointed that she didn't found me.
I could care less.Her brown eyes scans my face a last time before she exits my office.I lose the knot of my tie in frustration feeling the walls crashing in me.
I stare at city from my office which has a spectacular view of Seattle.Being not the fat kid who has a nerdy girl best friend in whom he has a crush makes me proud somehow in many ways.But still not being able to tell her the truth or my heart hating the idea of revenge still makes me feel both vulnerable and helpless at myself.
Laughing with her about handsome guy and laughing with model celebrities about other model's slightly fat body doesn't feel the same even though both are supposed to be amusing things.
I can change everything yet can't change my attration towards her.Nor can I change the hatred and anger towards her when she saw my out self not my inner one.
I slam the crystal expensive vase on the wall. The crashing sound of the crystal glass seemed similar to my heart of that day.I lean against my leather seat.
My phone rings. I pick it up siging and rub my temples as I pick ut before seeing the caller Id."Hello.",I said.
"Brother!I am coming home!",Aiden's voice almost bursts my eardrums and I hold the phone a inch away from me as I cringe at my little brother's dying seal voice.
"Great.",I said sarcastically.
"I will ignore it.By the way I am staying at your place.",he said and I roll my eyes at his conversation.Like he has a own house of his own to stay in Seattle.
"I know.Just don't turn my house into a brothel like last time. ",I said cringing at the memories of my playboy brother.
"Can't promise that.",Aiden said and cuts the call.Bastard!
I groan.Great another problem to deal with.I type the important codes on my laptop and the cctv photage of South's office flashes infront of my eyes on the screen.
The sight makes me jump out of my skin
