Yours Sincerely

CHAPTER 08: A LONG WAY...

SAPPHIRE’S POV:

I left the meeting room with an audible sign. It has been a month since pictures of me and Adam went wild in the AIR with the headlines;

‘THE FUTURE POWER COUPLE’

Turned out that the paparazzi clicked some pictures of me and Adam while we left my office building and one when he drove and picked me up from the school. I swear I was going to blast out of embarrassment when there was one picture where Adam kissed my forehead, just the next day after the whole fiasco.

It was when Adam and I parted our ways. He shifted to his new apartment and I was there to see the arrangements. The apartment looked more comfortable than it did in the pictures. Though we both were unfazed by the news, we were surely pissed.

As neither I nor his were ever spotted with any other partners, we were cool about the news till they don’t start babbling rumours. We surely wanted to spend some time together before we establish our relationship publicly. But re are together and I don’t have any problem if the whole world knows that these handsome smarty pants are my boyfriend.

It didn’t stop me from crying for my dad though but Adam was always beside me with his hand made cookies and a shirt which I make all teary after I’m done crying.

On the other hand, his friend Alex and I were getting along quite well. But the problem was Max. He was like walking talking Hulk. He was pissed at himself and is sulking from that call.

I don’t know but he didn’t even meet Adam when I told him to. Avoiding the subject whenever it comes up.

Anyways, I’ve started getting my college tutorials and it is going pretty good. I got a 3.75 GPA and also got admission to the business school of my liking. It was hard to get the principal do some work with my principles but I proved myself as a rightful student.

“Miss. Steel the minutes of the previous meeting with the current Canadian clients. And there are the notes and reports of the two previous ones as requested.” Miss Pablo smiled and opened the office door for me. I took the files from the hand giving her a quick thank you.

I closed the door behind me and sat on the couch of my office with the MacBook and files my PA gave me. It is stressful when people say sh*t about you. Oh! Let me rephrase it, it is stressful when people say sh*t about you on which you don’t give a damn but your business Clients does!

The rumours are that I’m not just with Adam but also his friend as I was seen with him laughing at an Italian restaurant.

I don’t know where on the earth it came from but Adam was sitting right beside me and we were holding hands under the table for goodness’s sake! It looked like I was having dinner with Alex. But in reality, Alex just jumped out of nowhere when Adam and I were having a dinner date. Thus, Adam sat beside me.

In this whole month, we didn’t show much out in public but we did a lot of chatting and calls and shared moments over the phone. It feels like we are in a long-distance relationship even before we have to. We are going on a long way in life, it does not bother either of us.

But we don’t complain, not after the only time we may and it led to the rumours of awfulness. And I came to know that Adam can be a bad boy! 

God, he was so angry when the media was talking ‘peanut butter jam’ about me. He immediately made the media stop telecasting the fake news and even sent a selfie of three of us in the same restaurant. That made the media apologise for their actions.

I signed and called Mr Trivedi to call the Clients.

After talking to them for a long hour. More like Mr Trivedi did the talking and I wrote his dialogues. He went to his office and I took the other files to my desk.

Sitting on my chair I punched my PA’s landline.

“Yes, Miss Steel?” She answered within the second ring. I love her. She is always punctual and gets along to work with.

“Miss Pablo, can you please order my regular for the lunch, please?” I said.

“Sure, Ma’am. Within 15 minutes.” I replied with a polite thank you and hang up the call. Taking the file on my desk I started analysing it. When I heard a knock I quickly closed the file and looked up.

I didn’t get a chance to have breakfast in the morning and it’s 2:36 PM. In short, I’m starving.

“Come in!” I smiled but my smile vanished when I saw the boy who was carrying my lunch.

“You! How dare you show your face to me when you avoid me like a plague for a whole month!” I screamed and took the first thing I got my hands on and threw at him. Which was... well, al heavy paperweight.

“Jeez! Woman are you trying to kill me?!” He screamed back as he dodged the thing.

“Well good for you! Cause that’s what you get when you don’t answer your best friend’s call and refuse to meet them when they come to your house!” I puffed and crossed my hands over my chest.

“In that case, I have a long explanation to do.” He smirked and opened my lunch on the coffee table near the couch, making me shake my head and go to sweet beside him.

“This better is reasonable Max or I’m going to cut your hair in my artistic ways. I smirked as I saw him gulp.

Two can play this game, brother...
