BLS #1 : Red String of Fate

Chapter 12 - I Hate You (Edited)

Sophia Celastio

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. At last after sitting at my chair for 5 hours straight, I was done with work. I looked at my watch and it shows 5 p.m., I stood up from my chair and stretched my body a little bit.

With the contract in hand I walked out of my office, to find my brother's office lights were still on. I made my way there and opened his door, he was typing something, but when he heard me come in his eyes moved towards me.

"Hey sis" he greeted.

"Hey Cole, how was the deal yesterday?" I asked and he sighed.

"Didn't get it, dad got pissed so he declined it" Cole said as he stopped typing. He raised his eyebrows at me and I quickly passed the contract and let him read it. After he finished reading he took his pen and signed it.

"Thanks" I said simply and he nodded. He must be so stressed out about losing that deal, he really wanted that deal, but clearly dad had no interest in it.

I walked out from his office and gave the contract to my secretary, for her to send. My phone rang suddenly, I ran inside my office and quickly plugged off my phone from the changer and checked who was calling... Asshole.

My hand unconsciously pressed the answer button and I put my phone to my ear.

"Hello beautiful" he greeted with a low tone.

"Hey" I answered, while tidied up my desk.

"Let's have a dinner together" he said and suddenly I stopped. Should I reject him or not?

"You've already rejected me a thousand times. Why won't you give me a chance?" he said like he just read my mind.

"Fine" I said.

"I'll pick you from your office, be there in 10".

"Okay" I end the call and continued to tidy up my desk. I walked to the mirror to checked my make up, is it okay? Wait! Why would I care? I looked myself at the mirror and sighed.

The scene from last week kept rewinding in my head and I still couldn't believe I had made out with Aaron Samuel and with so much passion and need, in the restroom of all places.

Call me insane but the attraction was getting bigger and bigger. If I didn't shove him away now, I would get hurt. Aaron isn't the type to date, he doesn't either settle down.

I decided to stop thinking and let my heart take me wherever it wants, I walked out from my office and got to the lobby. My phone beeped suddenly it was Aaron telling me that he was already here.

I saw his car and got inside. He pulled me for a kiss and then he stepped on the gas.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"My penthouse" he said simply.

"I thought we're eating dinner" I turned to him confused.

"Sweetheart, we're eating dinner at my penthouse. You'll love the view" he smiled at me. Suddenly I started feeling scared, we'll be at his penthouse alone.

"How was work today?" he asked.

"Had a lot of stress, but I got the job done" I answered and suddenly my phone rang, it was Josh.

"Hey" I answered.

"Hey Sophia, how are you?" he asked.

"Good, so what's up?"

"I'm in town tomorrow, wanna have lunch tomorrow?" he asked and I chuckled.

"I'd love too, until when will you-". My phone was taken by Aaron and my eyes widen, he took the call.

"Josh Curt" Aaron said coldly.

"She's with me, don't you dare meet my girlfriend!" That made me glare at Aaron. Now I was trying to reach my phone but he was holding it tightly.

"Give me back my phone you asshole" I said to Aaron. That line made him furious, so much so that you could see it in his eyes. After that he ended the call and gave me the phone back.

"What the hell Aaron?!" I hissed.

"Don't even answer his call again Sophia" he said in a serious tone.

"Who are you to be telling me what to do? If you make me deny his calls then I'm going to ignore yours too. I'll block it" I said pissed.

"Try to ignore mine Sophia, you'll never like the idea of that" he said in a really cold tone.

Controlling! He might be a big boss, but he had no right to control me! I seriously hate his guts.

"Pull over to the side, let me go home!" I said to him but he completely ignored me.

"Let's end this Aaron, I don't want to have any type of relationship with you. I hate you" I said harshly. Aaron suddenly stepped on the brake causing my body to jerked to the front.

"Out" he demanded. I opened the door and got off his car. Curse him! As soon as I closed the door, he drove away.

I couldn't believe this, but he's gone right? He would never try to hit on me again. It meant I did it. I smiled and walked to the nearest restaurant. I need to feed myself.

The more I thought about it, the more of a jerk I thought he was. I'm so done with him.
