Aline pov

I was dropped off at my house with not a word of goodbye from him, so this is truly it? he's really ending things with me. I'm just an attraction and a fling to him nothing else, oh what a stupid lovesick fool I am to even think that man is capable of love in any way! But for him to discard me in that harsh manner?I don't deserve that!

I should be angry not sad. I don't even know what I'm feeling anymore, my mom was with Mr Jones having the princess treatment of her life when I interrupted them, they both looked so embarrassed.

"Oh Aline you're back! How was spain dear?". She hugged me eliminating all shyness.

"It was....okay".

She glanced over at my shoulders and glanced back at me, "What about umm.....you know Marquez?".

Unwanted tears welled my eyes in mention of his name, "Oh mom....",

Jenna immediately understood me and whispered a word to  Mr Jones, he left excusing both of us to talk.

"What happened in Spain?did uhh-",

"He said we shouldn't see each other again, Marquez doesn't want me anymore". I sat down and placed my hands on my fact shedding tears.

God I feel so pathetic!

"What?!Why would he say that?".

I wanted to tell her about Marquez's horrible dream and reaction to get it out of my chest but vehemently kicked against it. Marquez wouldn't like that.

"I don't know mom I-I-", I busted into tears,

"Oh Aline I'm so sorry he's making you cry but then have you forgotten too? He's Patricia's fiancé.....you shouldn't have taken it that far with him".

I nodded in agreement sniffing, "I know it's wrong, my feelings for him are wrong but I can't help it Jenna...... I know he's someone I can't completely have but I can't stay away from him either".

She pressed my two hands together gently. "You've to Aline, I don't want you to repeat the mistake I did with Eugene, you're going to regret it forever and it will be very hard for you to move on".

"Oh Mom". I hugged her as tightly as I can crying more.

Marquez's words really cut in deeper than I thought.

***********
It was very peaceful at work the next day, I was met with some warm welcome from my colleagues like I was gone for months..... was I missed? I took a deep breath as I stepped into Mr Rodriquez's office as he called for me.

"Good morning Mr Rodriquez". I smiled widely at him.

He was in the middle of buttoning his suit shirt, I stared at him. Hector Rodriquez look more handsome than he usually was, his appearance was more sharper and intelligent. He looks different.

I've been gone for just two days..

"Good morning". He answered my greeting.

I placed my iPad on his desk and decided to help with his jacket and tie like I usually do every morning but he stepped back from me,

"I've it handled, no worries".

Since when?

I'm surprised he had his tie done on his own very diligently with no help.
