Fated Destiny ✔️

The misunderstanding [11]

I strode with heavy steps towards Andrew's office to give him a piece of my mind and with that only goal in mind, I slammed his door open to start yelling at him when the situation in front of me caught me completely off guard.

Andrew and that Willa woman were hugging each other while they sat extremely close to one another on the couch at the very left corner of his office.

They immediately broke their embrace though when I slammed the door open. Andrew slightly confused at my outburst came walking towards me, but I quickly apologized and stepped out of the office while slamming the door shut behind me.

My heart thumbed hard against my rib cage and I took deep breaths in as I closed my eyes and clenched my right hand on the left side of my chest.

It seemed like all of my anger from before disappeared in just seconds and with heavy but slow strides, I made my way to my desk and slumped down on the chair with a loud thud.

My mind was blank and I didn't know what to think about. The scene of Andrew hugging that woman just kept on replaying my mind while the words of Rosie kept repeating itself.

"Oh darling, if whatever you've said happened yesterday night, then I'm sure he feels just the same way as you do."

It was a lie. It was all a lie. All along. He never showed interest in me. I scoffed to myself. He just took me out to dinner because he was grateful of the work I did for him all these weeks back.

How naive of me to think the billionaire Andrew Queen would actually ask me out on a date. It was all a fairy tail of mine anyway. None of these things would ever happen and I just misunderstood his gratitude as his interest in me.

"Camille?" I snapped out of my thoughts and turned to my left to see Andrew crouching down with a worried expression on his face while his right hand was on my knee.

"Are you alright? You haven't responded to me for the past five minutes I've been calling you and grew concerned. Do you not feel well? Is there anything you need?" He asked me, still looking at me with that worried expression on his face.

I closed my eyes for a second to remind myself that he just got worried of his employee and not me as a person.

When I reopened my eyes, I put on a smile on my face, "no, everything's alright. Just a lot on my mind," I gave him and awkward laugh that was literally hard to buy and I knew I didn't fool him but he didn't ask any further and nodded his head unsure.

"Okay," it come out more as a question than a statement, "just let me know if you need anything. I'll be heading back to my office then, alright?" I nodded my head still with that smile on my face and watched as he walked away.

Stay

He turned around once again when he was at the door and I still smiled at him and gave him a wave with my hand to tell him to go.

Don't go

It was obvious, he was hesitant but at the end he turned away and walked inside.

*crack*

Why did I feel like my heart just got stabbed with a knife several times? Why does my heart tighten in my chest? Why does it feel like it just dropped from my chest to my stomach?

Unknown to me, tears spilled from my eyes and the smile that was on my face just now, completely vanished and got replaced with an expressionless one instead.

I heaved as I took in shallow breaths. My shoulders shook as I cupped my chest to stop the pain that I was currently feeling.

My surroundings were blended away from my vision and I dropped to the floor as I cried my pain out.
