I Won't Fall For You | ✔️

▪︎\\Chapter Fifty

VANESSA COLLINS

I was relaxing in my office after a short meeting with the supervisor.

There was a huge increase in sales for this week so everyone was excited about their upcoming pay.

Today, the supervisor was hosting a small celebration in the lounge room but I won't be attending. The sales increase was good news but I wasn't feeling up for it.

Alot had been on my mind for the past few days.

He has been on my mind.

I wasn't sure as to what was happening between us. Was this all a game? I told myself that I would never fall for him and I did. There was a time when I hated him for how cocky he was but now, my mind has turned completely.

Just like me, there's more than what meets the eye and I actually discovered a few things about him. He wasn't this selfish person that I thought him to be. But was this what I really wanted?

In a month, I'll be leaving the city to make my own life. That was the plan from day one. But will it be the life I want if Zed continued to chase after me? I will constantly have to be on the run.

Maybe it was best if I went back to him...

NO!

I couldn't. After I ran away I built a life for myself and I never looked back. It was the best decision I ever made.

I had sorted all of my files, replied to emails and answered a few questions about our products so I had nothing left to do. I stood up and left the office. I had alot of free time on my hands so might as well make the most of it.

I took the elevator to the bottom floor. As it descended something crossed my mind. I haven't seen Tifanny around for a while. I'm sure she didn't quit. Looking back, I figured there was something going on between her and Mordechai.

Maybe I was wrong but I doubt it. There was a weird feeling coming on but I pushed it away.

It wasn't necessary.

I left the building and made my way to the Cafe. It was the only place I had lunch because it was, well, the closest and it was quiet.

I went inside and someone caught my eye. It was Mordechai's brother Matteo. I haven't seen him much but whenever I do he was always dressed in bright colors.

Not that it was a problem. He was unique and everyone should feel free to express themselves however they wanted.

I ordered a croissant and a lemon-lime Refresher before taking a seat beside the window. He was sitting by himself before another guy sat beside him. Their smiles were the brightest in the Cafe. If he was older than Mordechai I guess he would've taken over the company instead.

It was risky sitting out in the view but beside the window was so relaxing. After the note I received from Zed last week, I haven't felt like staying home too much.

Most times I wanted to go out but being in the public would be much more risky. It sucks having to live your life in fear. It's not a nice feeling.

"Vanessa, right?"

I looked up, startled by the voice, as Matteo took a seat across from me. I'd been so caught up in my thoughts that I hadn't noticed him get up and walk over.
