The Life of Eniola (rewriting story)

Chapter 17

I don't know how to feel about Sebastián yet and there is also Alexander who sometimes acts nice and then the next he behaves coldly. I sit in my chair and put my head between my hands, thinking very deeply about the recent events.

Could it be that Alexander is into me?

Nah, it can't be.

I sigh in frustration. I shouldn't be overthinking too much.

I change position and tap my pen on the desk.

What is up with him? I think to myself.

Perhaps I should talk to him because as they say, communication is important between people whether it is a friendship or a relationship. But then again. What is this that we have? Are even friends?

Elena is so lost in her thoughts that she does not realise that Kianna came over to her.

"Elena, are you alright?"

She is startled, due to her thoughts being interrupted.

"Yeah, I am. I just cannot figure out why the boss is being a prick!" Kianna laughs at what I say.

"Well, apparently, people said they saw him arguing with his father." Kianna and I turn to the voice and it is Rosália, who is on her phone playing a game, once again.

His father? Damn, that sounds tough.

"If it is the case, it still does not justify him lashing out at me. Do you know what I mean, Kia?"

"Yeah, I get you. And-"

"So, Miss Watkins and Miss Alfonsi, are you both going to gossip all day and not do work?" Alexander says, appearing out of the blue. From his facial expression and body language, it is obvious that he is vexed.

"Gossiping? Excuse me, Mr Ashton, but where did you get that idea from?"I look at him. For a slight second, he looks surprised but he stays in his character.

He clears his throat.

"According to Nikki-"I look behind him and see her laughing with a devilish smile. 

What the hell is her problem? I look back at him.

"Sir, with all due respect, it is not good to listen to people's statements without checking if it is plausible, right?" I side-eye Nikki.

Knowing fully well that the message was actually intended for her. She also looks beyond angry and storms off. I internally smile. Alexander though is bright red and full of embarrassment.

Oh well.

Kianna is just in shock. I am too, heck, I did not know I had this much confidence in me.

Was I being rude to him?

What if I get fired?

Let me not think too negatively and be more optimistic. I turn my seat around and face the computer to work on the fashion and style magazine task.

I am out grocery shopping with Alessa to cook for dinner. I finished buying the basic food necessary for the household.

I turn to my daughter.

"Cosa dovremmo mangiare oggi,Lissy?Nigeriano o italiano?"

"Hmmm,possiamo avere italiano per favore,mamma?"

"Okay certo, tesoro!" 

"Cosa vorresti mangiare, tesoro?"

"Lasagna!".

"Lasagna è allora".

I start to look for the ingredients but as I get into the meat section, I bump into someone and I look up to see that it is Sebastián.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" We hug but just as I separate from his touch, he embraces me for a little bit.

That was weird but I kind of liked it because his perfume is fascinating.

"Hi, Elena, it is lovely to see you!" He smiles brightly.
