~Daryian~

Next day at office had a different air than every other day.

For some reason I felt like every pair of eyes were fixated on me, or they knew how I felt or what's going on in my life.

It's kind of unnerving.

"Daryian." Elena stopped me from entering Lucille's room.

"Yes?" My heart rate accelerated in panic. She must have noticed our change of relationship.

"Jack Salazar is here and I don't think you should go in now."

Hearing his name made my blood boil. That little shit was again in Lucille's room, and why was I not supposed to enter in there?

"But why?"

Elena huffed. "He doesn't like you. He was yelling in the reception the last time he was here. He's one of our important investors and partners, and we can't upset him."

My brows knitted together in a frown.

"If he's an investor, why does he call Lucille by her name and behave so informally around her?"

Rolling her eyes, Elena scooted closer to my ear and whispered;

"Jack Salazar's also Boss' father's friend's son. Mr. Katz used to want them to get married when he was alive but Boss hated Jack's guts. But to honor her father's friendship, she never broke off the contract."

My fists clenched unconsciously.

I couldn't help the twinge of jealousy that coursed through my veins at the idea of that Jack marrying Lucille.

She's my gi-

Wait.

We didn't even have a label on our relationship.

What were we?

We just said 'I like you' to each other and kissed one time.

But neither Lucille or me asked the other officially out yet.

Where did that put us?

Would she even want any label with a middle-class boy like me?

"Daryian, you okay?" Elena's hand on my arm broke me out of my trance, and I turned to her with a hazy look on.

"Y-yeah."

"You're breathing fast." She pointed out.

"Oh uhm- I'm good. I'll just get some water. Let me know when Jack leaves."

Not waiting for her reply, I rushed over to my room and locked the door behind me.

Resting my back against it, I thought over everything that had been occuring for the past few days.

Reality slowly started to digest in my brain.

Obviously her father would have wanted her to be with someone as powerful and high-class as them. Not someone like me.

Maybe she's just infatuated by me since no one had ever behaved differently with her till I did.

Maybe she's just trying me.

How could she have any true feelings for me? I was just a mere secretary.

Even though I tried my best to resist, my eyes welled up with unwanted tears and I let them fall.

I am so pathetic.

I'm crying for someone who didn't have any clue on what's happening within me.

Maybe I should just put on a safe distance between us, so we both could get over this infatuation period.
