Sebastian POV
I was walking down the hallway when I noticed that Zoë was talking to someone so I decided to eavesdrop.
"Monica it's scary because I don't know who this person is.What if he or she is out to get me"she said passing around the room.
"..."
"I hear what you saying but still.Its gonna be hard but I'm willing to do it"she said looking down.
"..."
"I don't think it will ever end that's why I gotta end it before something serious happens"she said in a sad tone.
"..."
"You know how many times I was hurt and I don't like hurting people"
"..."
"Yes , I understand"she said as a tear drop rolled down her cheek , she quickly wiped it.
"..."
"Love you too , bye"she said then hung up.
I continued walking down the hallway.I wonder what she was talking to Monica about.
"Zoë ,we going to be late for work"I said loud enough so she could hear me.
"I'm coming "she shouted back.
A few minutes later we arrived at work.we were in my office and she was sorting out files.
"Zoë , we need to talk"I said looking at her.
"About what Sebastian"she asked frustrated.
"Us"he said walking up to her.
"What about us"she asked looking down at the files.
I used my right hand to lift her head so that she could look into my eyes.
"Zoë , you know that I love you and I would like to be with you but I feel like something is holding you back"I said.
"Firstly , you are my boss .Secondly , I'm being threatened just because I'm around you and thirdly , I don't think it would work out"she said shifting her glasses a little bit.
"Things won't work out unless we make them work out"I said holing her hands.
"Sebastian, you don't see the bigger picture here.All you're thinking about is yourself and how I'll be your trophy girlfriend.I'm being threatened by a person I don't even know ! Do you know how scared I am !"she said.
I noticed her voice was cracking a little bit , meaning that she was about to cry and her eyes were glossy.
"This is not about you being a trophy girlfriend .I really feel something for you.I'll get you hire a private investigator to find out who the person is and bodyguards if you don't feel safe"I said.
She was silent for a second.
"I can't be with you"she said in a soft voice.
"Is this about Jacob ? Do you love him !"I asked getting angry.
She was just silent.
"Answer me , dammit !"I said angrily as I pushed the files off the table.
She flinched a little.At this point she was crying.
"I didn't love Jacob as much I was in love with you but now my love for your is gone!"she said as more tears streamed down her face.
"Look me in the eyes and tell me that you don't love me"I said stepping closer to her.
