Chains

Chapter 15: 2 Weeks

"Girl, he what?" Gary and Casey said together.

"Yep." Anne-Lee said and took a sip of her coffee. Looking into it like she could find the answer to Nathan's actions from last night.

"He kissed you and picked you up, like it was nothing, put you on his desk and almost laid it down on you?" Gary said.

"Pretty much. I might have to quit." Anne-Lee said. There was a silence in the room.

"Oh. Hell. No." Gary put his cup down forcefully.

"What?" Anne-Lee said. "I might have to."

"I agree with Gary. Anne, you can't just quit. You gotta stick around a little longer. See how it feels."

"How do you feel anyway?" Gary asked.

"It feels right but what if it's just infatuation?"

"She is right Gary. What if it is a infatuation? Nathan looks like a man who knows how to manipulate."

"Then it's something we are just going to have to find out." Gary said.

The Next Morning...

'Here is what you are going to do Anne-Lee. You are going to go in and not say a word. Don't talk about what happened the other day just do your job.'

Anne-Lee thought in her head. 'He might just be playing you so don't fall for the bullshit.'
She sighed. "This is a bunch a bullshit."

'He is going to play the fuck out of you.' She was going back. 'He is nothing but a player. Next time he gets you in a corner do something drastic.'

Her thoughts were interrupted when a text came to her through her phone. It was from Nathan.

Nathan Young 6:30am
Good Morning Beautiful.

Anne-Lee rolled her eyes. Its starting. She thought.

When she got to the office she didn't greet Nathan at all. Nathan just stared at her. Anne-Lee just continued to look through her emails and see if Nathan had left her anything to work on. Then she felt his eyes on the side of her head. 

"Sir, do you have a problem or something with me? If not please focus on your business."

"Why didn't you text me back?'

"I didn't think it mattered." Anne-Lee shrugged her shoulders.

"Oh it matters." Nathan yelled a little bit in his voice he was about to go near her but his security camera popped up on his computer screen. "Can you please let our guest in."

Anne-Lee pressed the button her desk that opened his door. Then the figure walked through the door frame. It was the girl that Anne-Lee had last seen with Nathan before he confessed his feelings to her.

"Hi, I don't know if you remember me or not but I'm Nathan's Girlfriend." 

"Oh Really?"Anne-Lee leaned back a little but still shook the girl's hand. "Well, I better just leave you alone with your man." Anne-Lee was laughing way too hard in her head. She looked at Nathan's face and it was red. He was getting mad that Anne-Lee believed it.

"You don't have to leave." The girl said.

"No, I insist that I leave. I need to get mail anyway." Anne-Lee said and left the room. In her head she had confirmed how doggish Nathan was. She went to go find Gary. She had missed him this morning.

"What are you doing here? I'm not your boyfriend."Nathan told her still sitting down in his chair.

"So, you telling me that you loved me while we were together last time didn't mean anything."
