Boss's Woman - Regretful Hero

Chapter 6

"Can we talk?" Dimitri stopped in front of me two days after we had that stupid confrontation.

On the day I left his office, I tried to walk normally to my place and just continue with my training, not really amused by all the curious looks I ended up receiving. I almost considered going home earlier but decided Dimitri had no right to boss me around. I was just his customer, not his employee after all. Even Jason looked very interested and I could sense he was controlling himself not to ask any kind of personal question. Nonetheless, when I came back, he asked me if everything was alright or if I needed any help on his part. I explained to him briefly that Dimitri was an acquaintance and that we just had a little chat. He didn't believe me, not one a bit. I could see the suspicions in everyone's eyes. It was like I had this big signal on the top of my head that everybody could see but me.

Anyway, I arrived home that night and didn't even think about Dimitri and his half-ass apologies. Well, what if I thought he was starting to care about me and ended up letting someone make fun of me instead? I was not about to suffer over him. I just couldn't quite understand why he would talk to me and be so kind if he was about to dismiss me like I was nothing but a fat trainee in his gym. I thought this kind of bullying crap was for high schoolers and not for big-ass adults who should have more things to do with their lives!

I already had enough of people judging me or making fun of my appearance for no reason at all. I was more gorgeous than people could imagine. Well, I hoped I was, anyway. And at least I was not following any new trend that would end up making me look like a starving alien. A bunch of people were looking just like that on Instagram nowadays. My extra curves were no reason for people to look down on me whatsoever.

Since I began with this new project of losing some weight, I realized I had just given up on myself in more senses than one. In the security of my room, I would try new dresses, and some makeup, and would even do my hair more nicely, but outside I was more like a girl who was wearing big clothes and jeans, not quite preoccupied like how the rest of the world was perceiving me. I had been feeling quite down on myself, so that was one of the main reasons that I just woke up one day and decided to sign up for a membership.

But, to be honest, now that I was exercising, I was feeling the need to do something different on the inside too. I had let people make me feel bad for too long and had just never fought the feeling I would always be the chubby lady who would never have a real man. The truth is, I was always prepared to be let down by others.

And now here I was trying to train and Dimitri was once again wanting to talk with me. I didn't know if I should let him do it or not. At least he was acting way more contained and not so sure of himself this time around.

"About what? I am busy right now." I answered him, still doing my exercises. I was doing some squats and was in no mood to be interrupted by his ass apologies.

"I was thinking about taking you out for dinner... Maybe I could cook one of my recipes for you. I have something important to tell you." He said to me with a very serious expression. He was really unbelievable.

"No." I answered him, not even stopping to consider.

"I wanted to apologize, properly... I am so sorry for treating you the way I did the other day. It's just that... I have very... strong feelings for you and..." He stopped a bit looking at the movements I was doing, like he was just now seeing what I was doing and had lost the train of his thoughts. "You are... you are really gorgeous. I don't want to make you uncomfortable by coming too strongly on you. I want to make this the proper way. Take you to dinner and do nice things for you."

I paused a bit, looking at him with a raised brown.

"Why would you do that?" I questioned him with a boring expression.
