Revenge of Love (Lost in Love #1)

💖Chapter 18: Goodbye New York, Hello Paris💖

🌹Amy🌹

I hadn't been to work for two weeks and I honestly didn't care. In two weeks I had gained 15 pounds by eating as much junk food as I could. They only time I left my house was when I needed groceries. I hadn't eaten normal food for two weeks and I kinda missed it. The girls had been trying to reach me but I declined the calls every time, when they came here I acted like I wasn't at home.

My door bell went off and I groaned loudly before standing up to answer it, I thought it was the pizza I ordered but it was Jade Collini, one of the owners of the firm. She was probably here to fire me but nothing seemed to make me feel.
I let her in and pushed off old pizza boxes from the couch so she could sit. It was embarrassing but what's the point. Its not like I would still have a job after this.

"Mrs Collini, what can I do for you?" I asked reaching for another slice of pizza.

She looked around in disgust, everyone knew she was a neat freak. She sighed and finally looked at me with compassion? I rolled my eyes not caring if I was being rude. For some reason this break up hurt more than all the others have.

"Do you speak French?" I was confused at what that had to do with anything but I answered her.

"Oui. C'est une langue très intéressante" I said

She nodded seeming happy that I could. What I wanted to know was what that had to do with her firing me. I just wanted to go back to being sad and drowning myself in pizza and ice cream, I needed her to get to the point. I dont know whats wrong with me. Im about to get fired and all I can think about is how Sandro broke my heart. I was going to be out of a job if I didnt do something, the dream my mom had for me would be gone all because I couldnt set my priorities straight.

"Look, I know I haven't been to work in two weeks, but I swear I'll go first thing tomorrow. Just please don't fire me. That job is all I have left" I said with tears streaming down my face. All I got in return was her snort filled laughter. I knew I was pathetic but that didnt give her the right to laugh at me. She doesnt know what Ive been through; she couldnt even fathom what was wrong with me. I hadnt really been thinking about Sandro, it was mostly about what he tried to do to me. Ive been having terrible nightmares about that night. I always think about that night at the worst times, like now why the hell am I thinking about that right now?

"I'm sorry but fire you? Why would the firm fire the best lawyer they have?" So now they recognized me as the best lawyer, they didnt when they were giving stupid Mark Adams the Managing Partner position, freaking nepotism. She must have seen the look on my face.

"I admit that making Mark the Managing Partner wasnt the wisest choice we could have made but you have to understand that there are people higher than me" I nodded and sighed just wanting her to get to the point.

"I understand. So tell me, why exactly are you here?"

"Oh right. The firm would like to offer you the position of Managing Partner in our Paris branch were opening. Were prepared to give the full package, car, house everything. But that is only if you want the job" This is what Ive wanted since I became a lawyer, this is what my mom wanted for me but I cant move all the way to Paris thats crazy.

'How is it crazy? Why do you want to stay in a country that reminds you of him? Its the same country where you could run into him anywhere.' That little voice in my head said trying to convince me to take the job. I understand what shes saying but I cant just uproot myself from where I grew up.

I cant just leave my dad, my sister, my friends. I wouldnt be able to visit my moms grave whenever I felt like it. Ive accomplished so much here, I cant just leave all that and for what? A higher position?
