My manager and I

Chapter twenty-two

They are in the living room. Baris has taken Arya to the kitchen to feed her because he was afraid of Dicle's reactions. So far she's been in denial and now she is cursing everyone from her boss to the paparazzi to her own bad luck.

She was going through every stage of grief at this point.

"Maybe it's for the best?" She says to Meral who's been sitting in the couch while Dicle was pacing around the entire living room.

"Like... I was about to leave either way soon. Maybe I can tell him that... No, no that can't happen... The good thing is that you get to keep your job till I can get you out of there." She keeps mumbling to Meral and to herself.

He's considering to get the baby upstairs but then he wants to be near her if something happens. So he just sits on the kitchen stool with Arya, across from him in her own chair, looking at him all confused. He smiles at her but the baby just takes his pinky finger in her fist without saying anything.

The doorbell rings and Meral runs to get the door. The moment Feris and Serkan walk in they know something is up. "You take Dicle I take Arya." Serkan says and they split.

Dicle isn't even aware that they are here. Her mind is going one hundred miles per hour.

"What's going on?" Serkan asks Baris when he's near him. At the same time Feris looks at Dicle while Meral whispers to her what happened. Dicle finally lifts her eyes from the floor and her gaze meets Feris's. She runs into her arms and that's where she'll stay for the next two hours.

Depression stage was the one that lasted longer than the rest. After a full crying session, she wipes her tears and says she wants to go out.

"Are you sure that it's the right choice baby?" Baris asks.

"Yes. I am." She runs upstairs to his room. She picks out of his closet one of his black shirts and wears it with her white short she came in hours ago. She pulls her hair in a ponytail, sprays his perfume all over her and walks down again.

"Watch out for her and if you need anything call us." Feris says to Baris before they leave. "And tomorrow we will meet to talk about business in general ok?" She continues and pats his cheek. He nods and smiles at her, waves goodbye to Serkan and he turns to face Dicle.

"Now get me drunk." She tells him and he smiles even though he was panicking inside.

Three tequila shots and two margaritas later Dicle was literally tripping around. Meral and Aydin were with them for the first two hours but both of them had to leave cause they were working the next day. So now Baris is all alone dealing with a very drunk Dicle.

"My love maybe we should go?" He asks and he wraps her arms around her waist, pulling her to him.

"But I'm having fun!" She yells and throws her hands in the air only to land in his shoulders.
