the day we met

chapter 3

ashton pov:
We broke up last night and today morning I saw her story, already partying with her friends. Is she not at all sad about breaking up with me? Oh wait, she's the one who broke up so obviously she should be partying now that she got rid of me. I break away from my thoughts and concentrate on our boss talking about our previous collaboration with Evelyn's company and how well it went. As we all gave our best, her boss would like to collab with us for another book for us to write and publish together. I looked around the room to see everyone being really enthusiastic about it since it was really fun working with them last time. I see their group coming in the conference room and take their seats as our bosses give us instructions on what this book will be about. I look to my right and see Evelyn sitting beside me. She whispers a quiet hi with her sweet smile as I do the same. Her smile is just so cute that it's impossible to not smile yourself after you see it. It brings a spark to my sad eyes, a spark that has gone ever since Amelia broke up with me.

"So you guys can start working from today and you guys are expected to finish up by next month. After you all are done, we will have a final session where we will compile all the teams' work into the book. Good luck guys." With that both the bosses walk out of the room with our colleagues behind them and the meeting comes to an end.

"Ashton, are you okay? I noticed how you zoned out during the meeting." Evelyn asks me with a concerned face.

"Yeah, I'm fine don't worry." I nod with a smile. I didn't want to worry her with my troubles.

"Okay so we will start working on the book from tomorrow if that's fine with you." She said with her smile on again.

"Yeah that's fine, but are we in the same pair again?" I asked.

"Yeah we are, didn't you hear the boss said the pairs are same as before?" She said, doubting something's wrong.

"Oh I probably didn't pay attention." I smiled so she would stop worrying about me.

"Okay then come to my house tomorrow at 2 pm. Is that okay for you?" She asked.

"Yeah it's okay, I will get going now." I took my phone and diary then waved to her.

"Wait, you're okay right?" She asked.

"Yeah I'm totally fine. I'll see you tomorrow." I said with a smile and waved.

"Okay bye, take care." She smiled and waved back.
