Krissy's POV

"If someone told me one day I would be working for Jason Quill I would have called them fucking insane".

"Ya. And I would have given them the number to the mental health clinic", Roslyn added. I could imagine her pulling a face on the other end of the line.

I shook my head.

"Life is crazy...Faith never told me about this", I said muttering the last part.

"Who?", Roslyn questioned, picking it up.

"Nothing, I'm just talking nonsense to myself", I replied as I thought back to the detention lessons with Faith. She was always vague with the information she gave about the whole 'soul mate' 'destiny thing' but, she could have at least given me some kind of heads up on the shit I was about to go through with this boy...but then again, she did promise it would be hard, maybe that did mean, him proposing to someone else, us breaking up, getting into other relationships, whilst working me for him, type of hard...

I let out a deep sigh as I propped my elbow on the thin window ledge of the train and looked out at the moving scenery.

"What's he got you doing today again?".
I closed my eyes and winced at Roslyn's question, as I felt an itch run along my forearm.

"A presentation in front of their Heads of Digital".

"That's not too bad you like public speaking".

"Roslyn, who likes public speaking?", I said reopening my eyes just to roll them.

"Fair enough", she responded.

"Sorry. It's just he's doing this to punish me".

"For?".

"I don't know...everything...", I paused thinking over all the reasons why he's angry with me.

"...but I think in the moment it's cause he sensed Theo touching me or some shit", I winced again at the thought of Theo and how he has barely spoken to me.

It's been a week since I told him about Jason and I and he has barely spoken to me, only saying a couple of words to me when we are at work. And when he did speak to me, in typical Theo fashion, it was often jokes about working for his girlfriends ex.
Humour was one of Theo's best attributes but it was also his greatest defence mechanism, and even though he promised me he was okay, I knew he found all of this super hard to digest.

"Anyways, enough about me. How's the life of a dentist?".
Roslyn laughed.
"Stop saying that. I'm a dental assistant".

"Well, I'm manifesting on your behalf", I giggled, proud that Roslyn did so well in university and was on her journey to becoming a dentist.

"I'm on my way to the practice now", she said. I could hear the sounds of traffic and wind in the background.
This was my morning routine anytime I wasn't traveling to work with Theo (which had been everyday this week) Roslyn and I would call each other for a catch up about our day since we no longer get to see each other every day like we did when we were at school and university.

"Did you manage to get that girls saliva out your lashes?".

"Krissy, when I tell you my lashes are ruined, I literally want to cry...

Walking into Quill Corporation brought a additional kind of anxiety today. Not only was I going to see Jason today, which normally makes me feel nervous, but it was the first time since the kiss. And on top off that it was going to be in front of a group of tech eggheads, whilst I give some mediocre presentation about an idea that I'm sure they have already thought of.
