I love you, boss

Chapter 9

Now

I present to you ......

*drumroll*

Chapter 9

Did you ever have that moment that you just wanted to die in a ditch ?

No .

I mean not kill yourself . I actually prefer to live but I mean - I just want to disappear in thin air and never come back . It's like your stuck in a situation where you are either dying of embarrassment or the situation is just to hard to handle .

Mine?

I'm dying of a heart attack from a crisis.

"Abby ?"

I stood their for a good few second staring into Trent gorgeous orbs that made me want to melt but also in that moment made me want to not see them .

Not that I didn't mine his presence but him seeing me this way ? Crying ? Not my favorite option.

I sniffled a little trying and wiped the remaining tears that rolled down my blushed cheeks.

"Abby ? "He caressed my check ."Baby . What's wrong ? "He pulled me into a tight but soft hug ." Tell me . I'm here for you ."

I froze .

Should I tell him ? About the company ? About my uncle ? What if he leaves me ? What will I do then ?

" It's nothing ." I slowly pulled myself from his grasp and stood looking at the floor ." It's just that my friend is retiring and leaving the country ." I lied.

His hand went under my chin making me look at him ." Your friend?"

"Uh .... Yeah ." I said trying to play it smooth.

Trent looked at me not believing me and I didn't mind because I wouldn't believe myself either . That when his eyes shifted behind me ." Your her friend?"

I turned around to see my uncle standing with his hands in his pockets trying to look 'chill' ." Yeah . " He stared at me ."Friend. Didn't she mention it ?"

He looked at me curious . " yeah she did but -".

"He didn't think it was you." I said ending his sentence .

He let out a low chuckle ."Well . Don't be rude Abby . Let the guest in ."

I eternally groaned . You serious ?

"Sure ." I Said moving out of the doorway and let Trent make his way through ." Uh. U...f...Mr.Washing." I sighed in relief that I didn't say uncle or friend . Wow . It's harder to act then I thought ." I think we have other , I mean , you have other people to attend to." I reminded .

I just wanted to get out of here as fast as I could.

He clapped his hands." Oh. Yes. " he looked at Trent apolitically ." I'm sorry. But you could join us son . We have to meet a few people down stairs and I wouldn't be right I leave you alone ."

"Sure ." He shrugged .

I glared at my uncle .

"I wouldn't mind." He said . Yes you would . Who am I kidding? Even I know he wouldn't .

My uncle looked at me giving me that 'Relax ' look which was most definitely not working . I couldn't chill . My love life is at stake here and on top of that my family life is ending .

Trent and my uncle walked down the hall as my uncle led the way.

I let a tear fall that I had struggled to keep in . I swiftly wiped it off trying to be professional .

I wish a never had to be alone . I stared at Trent once again from the back . He has been the best thing that has ever happened to me and this party might just ruin it .

I sighed . This going to be ... A mess...

A poop filled mess .

"It's nice to finally meet you Lady Abigail ." Another of my companies supporters said as he kissed my hand. My eyebrows arched as I looked at Trent.

Trent shrugged as if that was nothing.

"It's a pleasure meeting you too ." I said taking my hand away uncomfortably .

Its been a routine now . The person greets , I greet , chat , then we depart . The worse part ? Trent is right watching me do all this . He is probably going to bombard me with question that are going to make me .... explode.

If he found out that I'm the owner by chatting with some of the other guys- I'm dead . This is not how I wanted him to find out . I want to tell him when the time was right and suddenly my uncle hands me the company and I have Trent following me like a spy . That's when it hit me . Why is he here?

I look around to check if I have greeted everyone which by my intuition , I did.

I rubbed the back of my neck in exhaustion and looked down at my heels .

I hate heels .

"Abby ."

I jumped as I got out of my little bubble realizing that Trent stood next to me. He looked dashing as ever only more serious .

I grabbed his hand ."Hey. I think we should go. Im tired of this place and I think I helped enough here ."

He let go of my hand which made me sad and curious .

Why is he pushing me away ?

Wait ? Did he find out ?

"We need to talk Abby ." He stats firmly looking at me dead eyed .

I guess it's true ...

My life truly is a poo filled mess .
