Paid To Love You

chapter 7

Yah! It's finally Friday
I'm so happy I won't be going to work tomorrow because it's been one hell of a week.

The week has been full of drama and seriously, I need a break.

The only thing that worked out well for me this week is my relationship with Nick.

Have always known Nick to be a cool guy, and I'm also aware of how cold he could be while handling business. but the side he showed me these past few days is amazing.

I've grown so comfortable around him. Not like I wasn't before but our relationship was purely business and of course, we've to be on good terms to be able to work together which is why we get along pretty fine before. But now, I think I can refer to him as a friend.
He has been paying more attention to me ever since the drama unfolds in his presence. And no, it's not for sympathy, because I can tell when someone is doing something out of pity.

He's still the same businessman at work whom I treat with respect as my boss. But outside, "he's just Nick". His words, not mine.

It feels good to know someone cares about you. I know it's only been a few days since we got closer but it feels good.  Okay maybe I'm exaggerating but for a young and successful man like him, I'm impressed with the way he carries himself and how he treats people with so much respect and love.

He can be scary when he wants to be though. But then, he worked so hard for his business to blossom so that's understandable.

I'm sure you're wondering why am thinking about my boss this early morning when I'm supposed to be preparing for work.
What can I say, when you see a good man, you just have to appreciate him.

I went straight to shower as I couldn't do my usual workout this morning because my muscle needs to rest.

I settled for a turtle neck and a skirt as I slide into my heels.
I don't want to make up so I only rub powder on my face and add a little gloss to my lips.
I checked myself out in the mirror and smiled in contentment. "Yh, I look good. "

I got to work at 7:45 am as usual and begin my work almost immediately.

Time seems to be working a bit too slow today or maybe it's because I finished my work earlier than usual.

I got bored of doing nothing, and it's just 12:45 pm like hell what would I be doing till 6!?
I decided to take a walk, and to my surprise, I found myself in front of Nick's office. "sigh"

I knocked gently and await his reply.
I heard Nick shouting at someone and I regret knocking immediately. He's probably in a bad mood.
I was about to leave when he opened the door and slammed it shut as he walks out, leaving me in shock.

He walked out looking so pissed and his hair looks like he has run his hands through it a few times out of frustration, I guess.

Hmm... "Good afternoon sir" I greeted.
He didn't even bother to reply, he just walks away from me.

I wonder who pissed him off so bad.

I went back to my office and being to skim through some of the contracts that were brought to me sometime last week. I saw a few things that caught my attention and I begin to circle the part that I'll like to be corrected before we sign the contract.
Before I know it, it's 4 pm.
Shoot! I miss my lunch again.
I sighed as I walk alone on the busy road to get myself something to eat.

I saw the restaurant I went to the other day across the road where I saw the drama queen so I decided to go somewhere else because I don't know how frequent she visits there and I don't need more drama in my life.
