Never Ending

Chapter 6.

*Blair's POV*

No one knew how hard it was being around my father. Almost every single move he makes, he makes only regarding himself or his company. My dad could care less who he hurts in the process if it means more money for him. That's one of the reasons my mother and brother left. They couldn't take his constant controlling attitude and outlook on life.

It drove me absolutely insane. The only thing that man cares about his money and perfection. I remember at a young age, I could never go play on the playground because he feared that I would ruin my perfect looks. I remember him always controlling every aspect of my life. I couldn't due most things because he feared it would ruin my "perfect" reputation.

Most girls would've loved what I went through. The constant compliments, showering in expensive gifts, and having boys drool over you... I hated it. It made me feel like more of an object to be won rather than a normal girl.

To this day, my dad still makes sure he still has a say in my life. At 26 years old, I can't make any decisions without him having a say along with his assistants and lawyers. Every single move I make is watched by everyone.

Everyone.

I can't even go out and run errands like a normal human being because of my dads success. I always have random company's approaching me, asking for me to endorse them or model for them. I hate it.

Because of this, I've shielded myself from a lot of people. I don't allow myself to get close to anyone unless I know their intentions. I have to have my guard up whenever I'm around new people but I also have to maintain my perfect attitude as my dad would say.

Today I especially had to have my "perfect" smile on, because I was working at my dad's office. I hated sitting at a desk and waiting for his next client to come through the elevator doors. I hated every part of being at his office building. It was way too over the top for my taste. All the white prestige hallways and the over excessive amount of security. It was horrible...

Soon I heard the elevator doors chime, which signalled that someone was coming out of the elevator. I readjusted my shirt, straightened my posture, and flashed my signature smile.

"Blair did you see the pictures of Mr. Kane at the bar! Absolutely unacceptable!" My dad complained while walking around the lobby. "I cannot believe this! We made sure that there would be no behaviours like this at our meetings! You remember that don't you?" My dad asked while looking towards me for my answer.

"Yes I remember but dad he's aloud to go out and have fun sometimes..." I said trying to defend Patrick.

"Seriously Blair?! You cannot be trying to defend him! He made an embarrassment out of my company and of my name! Our last name!" My father said while walking into his office and slamming the door behind him.

I rolled my eyes towards his outburst and continued playing on my phone until I heard the elevator chime again. I did the usual routine and waited for his client. To my surprise it was Patrick.

"Patrick I didn't know you had a meeting with my dad today." I said while smiling towards him.

"Yeah well I didn't know either but now I'm here." He said with a mix of sarcasm and annoyance.

"Well he's in a call right now but can I get you anything while you wait?" I asked as he took a seat in one of the uncomfortable chairs.

"Nope, nothing at all." He said without once making eye contact with me.

I was slightly disappointed but I understood where he was coming from. It didn't help that my dad was going to absolutely destroy him in their meeting but also the fact that I was insanely rude to him last night. I couldn't help it. He started treating me like everyone else. He didn't see me as Blair Montgomery but instead saw me as Henry Montgomery's "assistant" daughter.

"Listen Patrick..." I said gaining his eyes but was soon cut off when my father cleared his throat and sternly looked towards me.

Patrick stood up while whispering something to himself and looking straight towards the office. I slumped in my chair and went back to playing on my phone.

*********

After what seemed like hours, Patrick was finally done with his meeting. I knew that this was my shot to finally apologize for last night.

"Patrick what I was trying to say earlier before my dad cut me off is that I'm really sorry about last night. It was rude of me but I needed to leave. I hope you can understand." I managed to get out all at once before he could fully walk away.

"Yup totally understood." He said while smiling towards me.

"Good. I guess I'll see you at the game tonight?" I asked while staring into his gorgeous blue eyes.

He nodded and began making his way back towards the elevators. I sighed while looking towards my dads office. He was sat at his desk chair sternly looking at me and motioned for me to come see him.

I quickly got up and walked towards his office in full panic mode.

"Hey dad.." I said while closing the door behind me.

"What was that?" He said motioning towards the exchange between Patrick and I.

"It was nothing. We were just saying goodbye and I said that I would see him at the game. That's it." I said smiling towards him.

"Hmm alright. You remember the rules don't you?" My dad asked slowly as if he were talking to an infant.

"Sure do dad." I said while looking down towards my shoes.

"Alright well you're good to go. I'll see you at the game." My dad said while turning back to his work.

I quickly exited the office while making sure to grab all of my belongings. I practically ran to the elevator and once I reached it, I let out a slow shaky breath that I didn't even realize I was holding in till now.

I didn't know why but for some reason I couldn't seem to stop thinking of Patrick's beautiful blue eyes.

But every time I had to shake the thoughts away. I couldn't let myself fall for one of my fathers clients. I couldn't. I had to continuously convince myself that all Patrick will ever be his another one of my fathers cocky pain in the ass clients.

And that's all he will ever be.

Another pain in the ass.
