Heartbreak Girl (H.S) (New Girl Sequel)

Chapter 42: Kimonos & Leftovers

Ivy's POV

"Good to have you back Ivy," I heard yet another person tell me as I returned to my office after taking a bathroom break.

"Good to be back," I fake smiled.

To be honest I hate most people in the office, I'm mainly here for the money. I mean there's also the benefit of going to award shows/meeting celebrities, but it's mainly the money keeping me here.

"Ben called...again," Eve informed as soon as I opened my office door.

"Tell him I'm busy," I sighed and plopped down behind my desk.

"Did you two have an argument?"
"What? No, I'm just busy trying to catch up with all this work," I lied.

"Just tell him I'm behind in work. He'll understand the importance of paper work," I chuckled.

"Okay. Going on lunch break, you want anything?"

"I'll take my usual from Subway."
"Coming right up," she sighed.

I feel bad ignoring Ben's calls and lying as to why I can't talk. I mean yeah, I am busy with work but it's not enough to where I can't take a few phone calls.

Every since the night at the club, I've kind of hid away at work all day and blocked out most people.

I should have told Tina no to going to the club, I shouldn't have started drinking with Harry, I shouldn't have told him that I loved him, and I shouldn't have kissed him.

I was so stupid.

Like I told Harry, after Carson I promised I would never cheat on anyone again. And Ben's too sweet to me to ever hurt him like that.

-Awesome Ways to Styles a Kimono- I typed the article title.

Wait, Styles? I clicked on it and quickly changed it to Style and felt my cheeks grow hot in embarrassment.

I shook it off and began typing away on my laptop. If I want to forget about the incident with Harry, I need to keep myself busy.

Someone knocked on my door.

Eve must have gotten my Subway in record time today.

"Come in," I called.

I didn't bother looking up as the door opened and they walked in.

"Look at my adorable workaholic girlfriend, looking all professional and cute," Ben chuckled.

I jumped in surprise, "Ben? I'm sorry I though you were my assistant with my lunch. What are you doing here? I thought you had to work today?"

"I took the day off to come see you. You haven't responded to my texts or calls so I was getting worried," he pouted.

"I'm sorry," I drowned as I stood up from my desk and walked around it to hug him. "I've just been trying to catch up on my work."

"I understand, I just worry about you a lot," he pouted.

I pecked his lips with a forced smile.

"Do you want me to call Eve and have her pick up Subway for you as well?"

"Actually, I was hoping to take you out for lunch," he suggested with a bright smile.

"Umm," I hummed. "Why not? Either way I'm not gonna get anything done on Kimonos."

"What the hell is a Kimono?"

I laughed as Ben's facial expression, "It's a piece of clothing. Kinda like a cardigan."
