I come back to my office and keep wondering about the thing in his hand. I didn't properly see that. It looked like a bottle. But why did he hide it?
Was it a bottle of medicine or something? His behaviour was suspicious too. The way he immediately hid that from me was weird. Why was he hiding a bottle of medicine from me?
Maybe I'm thinking too much. Yes, I'm definitely getting way too worried about him. They were probably painkillers for his headache or something.
I remember last night, when he fell and probably hurt his ankle. He was probably taking those painkillers for his ankle. I'm worried for nothing. He's fine. They were just painkillers.
But why did he hide it? Devin hates being vulnerable and would rather die than admit he is in pain. Yeah, that's probably why he hid it. He never showed any signs of pain or weakness even if he was hurt.
I sigh and tell myself that he is fine. I need to focus on work. I'm supposed to be mad at him. I remember how he took me home last night. He was only concerned about not dealing with any of my problems, otherwise he doesn't give a single shit about what happens to me.
I would focus on my work and not think about him. I pick up my IPad and go out of my office, I need to print out the designs.
❥❥❥❥
The whole building is almost empty, only few of the employees are still here. I walk towards Devin's office and glance at the cabin besides it, which is empty, she left.
I hold all the printouts in one hand and knock on the door before opening it and stepping inside.
He looks up from a document he's holding in his hand. I walk closer and put all the printouts on the desk "Here." I say.
He puts aside the document and takes all of the printouts, moving them closer to him.
I hold a chair and drag it, stopping it just beside his chair. I sit down and ignore the way my heart races at the close proximity.
I'm sitting so close to him, I watch his face as he goes through each design, with his eyebrows raised. I know he's silently appreciating them but my focus isn't on that. I'm focused on his features, his hazel eyes and his long lashes. I want to kiss them. Shut up, don't even think about it.
He looks at me and I look away. "They're.....good."
My heart skips a beat and I look back at him, trying not to smile. "You think so?"
He looks down at them and nods. I smile and look away, I'm sure I'm probably blushing right now.
I stop smiling and look back at him. "Let me explain them all to you.."
I lean forward to take the first design. I try to ignore the way my heart goes crazy as my fingers brushes against his. "For this one" I say, glancing down at the design in my hand. "I chose the colour blue." He glances down at the paper and the deep blue jewels drawn on it. "Sapphire would be perfect, they have deep and rich blue hues." He nods.
I put the paper down and pick up the next one. It's a printout of a red diamond necklace. "For this, I think red diamond would look great. What do you think?" I look at him.
"You're the designer, if you liked it, it must be for a reason then."
I feel an explosion of butterflies in my stomach. "Is that a compliment?"
"No." He slightly shakes his head. "Not a compliment. I don't give you compliments but I also don't deny the truth." He glances at me.
"Well, thanks anyway." I look away and bite my lower lip to control my smile. I don't know what to do to control the fluttering of my heart.
