I sat in my office on a Monday morning with a lot of things on my mind. Derek hadn't returned for a second appointment, was he thinking otherwise. He might have made his point clear already. He didn't want to work with us again. 

If that was the case then why had he continued sending me gifts. It had been two weeks since the new year and I'd been gifted with expensive things twice. The particular one that left me in total awe was the penthouse he categorically handed to me. That, and all the other gifts still laid in my wardrobe. 

I kept wondering if I was ever going to get an explanation for everything or he was just going to keep sending gifts. Maybe I was going to contact him very soon. It was just insane how he'd been sending gifts upon gifts. 

I walked towards the exit door of my office, I badly needed to use the restroom. I had been thinking too much over the past two weeks.

Oh no! Fuck no! 

I had been returning from the restroom when I saw Artem on the way. I swear I wasn't expecting to see him. 

"Miss Monroe can I have a minute with you in my office?" He asked. 

"Sure, why not. " I replied. I was honestly wondering what he was going to talk about that time around. I just hoped that my name wasn't mentioned for any terrible thing because as far as I was concerned, I'd always been the type to mind my fucking business in that agency. 

"Have a sit Miss Monroe. " He said as I followed him into his office. I honestly didn't like where all of this was heading. He'd been staring at me like I commited a crime or something. Who knew what he was about to say?

"Has Mr Derek Payton consulted you since November last year. " Artem asked me as I balanced my posture on the chair. What I was feeling was very much far from comfortabilty in the damn office. Artem had really decided to start up a conversation about Derek's deal only a handful of weeks into the new year.

"He actually hasn't, I've been waiting for a feedback on what to do for over two months but Dayton hasn't gotten back to me yet. I'm hoping they would after the whole new year festivities and stuff. " I said. 

"If he was still had us in mind then he would have left a message or something. It's been two months. " My boss said. I honestly didn't know if it was me or if it was really happening, but everyone in the office had been annoying me since the new year began, Artem was also included. 

"The appointment didn't actually go bad.. It was good. " I said. 

"Miss Kalani I wasn't there with you, I wouldn't have known how it went. Who must have known how you behaved. " 

I honestly felt like grabbing a pistol and pulling the trigger right into his fucking throat to incapacitate his hypoglossal nerve so that he wouldn't be able to fucking speak for the rest of his miserable life.He was saying it like it was actually easy dealing with a billionaire.
