I could feel the slow throbbing of a headache building behind my eyes as I went through the stacks of documents on my desk that needed my approval. By the time I finished signing the last one, my head felt like it was about to explode.
Leaning back in my seat I closed my eyes, rubbing my temple in an attempt to ease the pain. I hadn't slept at all over the past two days and the exhaustion was finally catching up on me.
"You look like shit, you know that?"
I opened my eyes to find Nathan standing in front of me. I was so engrossed in my thoughts I hadn't even heard him walk in. "You should try looking in a mirror."
"Ah, you wish you looked as good as me." Grinning he headed to the wet bar. "Want a drink?"
I shook my head even though I desperately needed a strong drink. I had a meeting in thirty minutes and needed a clear mind for that. It was with the short-listed candidates for the managerial position of the Bali Hotel. I always played an active role in the recruitment of all my senior staffs and the final interviews were conducted by me. The other interviews were done by my HR manager, who was currently in Bali, recruiting staff for all the other positions. Once that was completed, everyone would be given extensive training for one month so that they would be able to deliver the high-quality service that the hotel chain was famous for.
Nathan grabbed a beer and took a swig before sitting back. "So how are you holding up?" His grey eyes were filled with concern as he studied me.
"I've been better but I'll live." I admitted with a shrug, hating myself for sounding so pathetic. It had been two days since Kate broke up with me. Two days without talking to her, without seeing her face, without touching her and it was driving me crazy. I missed her - so fucking much. She was always in my mind.
My whole body ached for her, craved her in a way that was physically painful and I knew that if I gave into it, it would destroy me. So I had buried myself in work, punishing myself with long hours for the past couple of days, hoping that it would help me take my mind off her. But it hadn't helped. Whatever I did she was always there in my mind. There was no way to block her out.
I had a scheduled meeting with her the following day. She would be giving me the final updates about the hotel project before flying out to Bali next week. Part of me was counting the seconds till our meeting but the other part was telling me to cancel it. Seeing her and not being able to touch her would be torture and I didn't think I could handle that.
But I reminded myself that it was business. I never let my personal life interfere with the business and I wasn't going to start now. The only way I could go through with the meeting was thinking of her as my interior designer and not as the woman I loved.
Nathan was silent for a moment, his expression thoughtful. "You're not thinking of letting her walk away, are you?"
"She already did, man. It's over."
He gave me an incredulous look. "So that's it? You're just going to sit there feeling sorry for yourself?"
"I'm not..." I broke off with a curse. There was no use denying it. For the first time in my life I was in love. And for the first time in my life I'd been rejected. Kate had hurt me badly. She made me feel like a failure. So, yes, I was feeling sorry for myself. I dragged my fingers through my hair in frustration. "What the hell do you want me to do?"
