"Good morning" I murmured before taking a seat on the table, "morning dear are you okay?" Mom asks. "Yes why?" "You look sad," "I'm not sad mom I have no reason to be" I smiled. She nods before going back to the kitchen,Ethan parades into the dinning in ready for school. "Have you guys started exams?" "Yes we started yesterday," "are you studying properly?". "You will find out when you see my results" he huffs,I rolled my eyes but smiled. Ethan was a nerd but a cute one,dad was the last to arrive at the dinning table. "Good morning dad" Ethan greets, "morning dad" I whispered keeping my gaze lowered. "Morning princess and Ethan exams are on going right," "yes dad we started yesterday" Ethan brags ready to please. "That's okay do you need anything?" "No but I want to go to the cabin for the holidays" Ethan sighs. "Again with this Ethan" I groaned,"give me a good result and I will make it happen," "yes!" He yells. "Dad I don't want to go to the woods" I groaned,"you need it since socialization is affecting your manners" his words were firm. "What? That's not......" "Lizzy! Stop challenging your father" mom yells. "Sorry" I whispered looking down at my food,"don't let me take away your privileges Elizabeth" dad warns. "I already said sorry God!" I snapped standing up to walk away from the dinning table,they watched me leave. The ride to work was filled with tears and regret,I shouldn't have spoken to my father like that. I parked my car, sighing I just have to make it till lunch then I can go meet the girls. "Good morning" I waved the receptionist before heading into the elevator. Immediately I reached my office I'm greeted with the sight of a flashdrive. Along with a note instructing me to print hardcopies of the CHARLETTE FISHERS deal. I grumbled under my breath as I placed my bag down before heading out once more. The print room is my most frequent place since I arrived at this company,when I arrived it was empty thankfully. I got to work printing the deal file,it was over 20 pages and felt bad William would have to read through it. Hey a feminine voice calls from behind me,I turn around to see a girl about my age. "Hi" I nod in her direction,"I'm Florentine Dante" she introduced,"I'm..." "Elizabeth Morgan!" She squeaks cutting me off. I'm no actress or musician so she acting like she met her role model is suspicious. "You can call me Lizzy," "because we're friends?" she grins,"no because everyone calls me Lizzy" I raised my brows annoyed. "Oh! Okay can we be friends?" Her pathetic question raged a fire in my veins. "Why? So we can visit my family beach house and you can take selfies to update your Instagram page or so we can go shopping and I will pay for your clothes" I glared at her. "No......no" she stutters proving I hit the nail on the head,I secretly hoped I was wrong but I guess not. "No I don't want to be friends" I snort gathering the file before leaving her in the room stunned. She chose the wrong day to address me,with the whole issue with William and me disrespecting my father I wasn't in the right frame of mind. I head straight to William's office,taking a deep breath before knocking. "Come in" he says like always,I walked in, "good morning sir,the file on the CHARLETTE fishers deal" I place the file on his desk. I could feel his intense gaze but I didn't dare meet it,"Lizzy?" "Ummm?" I asked looking at my hands. "I'm sorry I left you at the diner but something came up," "it's no problem sir" I looked up smiling. He sighs,"this is what I get for trying to be friends with a child,pettiness" he whispers under his breath but I heard,I heard it loud and clear and it broke something in me. "I'm sorry I'm such a child William" I snapped,"Lizzy...." he strails off his green eyes shining with regret. I ignored him stomping out of his office to mine,once in the safety of my four walls I broke down. It hurts that he thinks I'm a child,it's the crush talking girl pull yourself together my subconscious mocks. I sighed going back to work,that's what I came here for,to be his PA and not his friend or girlfriend. After hours of intense typing it was finally lunch break and I have never being more excited to meet the girls. I picked my bag from the desk walking out of the office,once I locked my office I turn around and bumped into a hard chest. "Sorry" I murmured quickly before looking up,guess who? Yes William fucking Kwin. "You heading out?" "Yes sir,it's my lunch break" I say walking towards the elevator with him following behind me. "Do you need a ride?" "No I came with my car but thanks" I said looking straight at the wall as the elevator went down. He sighs but doesn't say more,the elevator door opens and I walk out not even sparing him a glance. The ride to the diner I agreed to meet the girls at was filled with self praise. I was able to ignore William and that was an achievement for me. I parked my car beside an SUV before climbing down,the restaurant was a fancy one as expected. A waiter was by the door ready to guide me to my friends, Sarah Logan I said and he nods. This lunch was a threat from Sarah,I saw a familiar red head and I was filled with instant joy. "Gera!" I called hurrying towards their table, "hey Lizzy" she stands up to give me a quick hug. I pulled away first,taking a seat across her and beside Sarah,"babe" we pecked each other's cheeks. Sarah's allergic to hugs, "what are you wearing?!" I gasped once I noticed the hideous t-shirt Gera had on. "I asked the same thing" Sarah chuckles,"laugh all you want but it's my work attire" Gera scoffs but smiles. "Well you should quit because this thing" I reached for her shirt,"scares guys away" I add with a frown. "Fuck off" she hits my hand away,I laughed forgetting all my worries instantly. "So why this immediate meeting apart from William drama ofcourse" Sarah teased and I rolled my eyes. "My birthday party," "you're throwing a party? Since when" Sarah asked,"yes dad agreed since I couldn't celebrate my 18 birthday" I sighed. "Well that's great I can already think of the theme for it" Sarah grins. "I know that's why I called you guys my head is blank of ideas," "good choice sis I'm down" Gera chuckled and Sarah glares at her.
