SEDUCTION

5

I sit quietly and drink my coffee, today I do not want to start my day with negative thoughts. I stare blankly out the kitchen window, the view leaves much to be desired, as long as all I see is who enters and leaves the store opposite the Eley apartment. I didn't want to accept his offer to move in with her, after I broke up with Eliajh I left the apartment I was sharing, I only took my personal belongings, I didn't need anything else. I wanted to rent an apartment on my own but I ended up accepting my friend's offer, I know she is better with me than alone with my thoughts.

I look closely at the clock on the phone, I have ten minutes until I have to go out to get to work on time, so I decide to check my mail again, today I have two meetings to show some couples a few apartments, then I have to get ready for tonight's party. Marcelo called me last night while I was shopping to remind me that today at eight I have to be at that damn party ... that's exactly what I was missing.

- Morning .... My friend's voice is hoarse, her hair is caught in a messy bun at the top of her head, and the T-shirt she's wearing barely covers her bottom ...

- Hi ... I smile at her dearly ... I can't help but think how different we are, she loves to go out and party, and she never had a boyfriend for more than two nights. She doesn't believe in relationships, she prefers not to make commitments and it seems that in her case it works ....

- Are you leaving? He asks me as he sits down at the table and puts his coffee in his glass ...

- I have five minutes left, today is a busy day.

- Yes, I have a hard day today ... a guy who is super wow by the way, hired me for a cocktail. he seems to be a business tycoon ...

- You know you're the best ... I look her in the eye to give her confidence, even though she is a beginner, she has a young and assertive team, she always has new ideas and always satisfies her clients.

- Yes ... I think you're right ... Then a smile appears on her face, her green eyes light up, she is aware of the value she has, so she would not have more and more customers.

- I'm sure I have. I look at my watch again, get up and put the cup in the sink. I have to go, I tell him. See you tonight ... how long are you home? I ask her as I take my purse and keys.

- I don't know, I think it's late. Don't wait for me ... she tells me.

- Ok, anyway at eight I have to be at a party, the new boss organized a party to make employees and customers aware of the change of management ...

- That's great, it's good to go out a little.

"I honestly don't feel like going, but I don't have much choice ... See you tonight." I go out the door but I hear it after I close.

- Have fun !

Yes, of course, I'm thinking. Fun, I haven't felt well in a long time. Sometimes I would go out with Ely and the boys from the agency, I even took Olivia once, but it was a long time ago, Eliajh never wanted to come with us, he didn't like my friends. In the end, they turned out to be best friends, they stayed, and he was the one who abandoned me, who gave up on me.

On the way to the agency I'm thinking about how to explain to Patrik why I don't want to sign the contract for the panthouse, I don't want to have to see that man again, although I admit that I'm intrigued by why he has this power over me, however, I do not want to be in a position to react in any way again.

After finding it difficult to find a parking space, the morning is hell for those who want to park their car in this area, I head to the entrance of the building, the twenty-storey block, in which our agency has offices, is a building in which many companies have their offices, is not far from the Belasco theater and congestion is the key word. I like the crowds, the noise, the morning hustle and bustle, it represents life, as long as I am constantly surrounded by people I am safe. I stay for a moment in the place where I met David yesterday, I take a deep breath and close my eyes, then I hurry to enter, there is no point in thinking about him, I won't see him anyway. I go into the elevator to get to the floor where I work, as usual, you don't even have room to breathe, the elevators are overloaded, so I don't understand why one is always closed, I haven't seen him for three years ever used. The convenience of some irritates me.
