My High School Billionaire (Sequel to TMDG)

Chapter 34

Dedicated to my lovely sister! My constant support system.

"Would you please tell me what's wrong?" Lydia bangs on the door to my bedroom but I ignore her like I've been doing for the past hour.

Screw my mission, screw Anne, screw Nathan Hale. There's only so much my ego can take. I am not going to find out whatever reason Nathan has at the cost of my name. Well not technically mine, but in whatever way that is related to me. And if I think about it, this was stupid from the beginning. I knew this wasn't going to take me anywhere and yet all I did was keep pretending that its working, that I have an advantage but it was all delusional. All of it.

"Go away!" I shout between my sobs as I pick up another tissue. Why me? All the freaking time, why does it has to be me? Why can't it be Gloria for a change?

"I can't! Move back, I'm breaking in!" She says back and at first I do not pay attention. But when it feels like there's legit a strong body hitting against the door, I get up to open it quickly before she could do any damage.

"Oh thank you, I already have a bruised arm though." She bends to catch her breath and then stands straight again.

"Now, tell me or I'm going to eat all the food there is in this house." There's a playful look in her eyes and I roll my eyes.

"Lydia, he- he-" Not finding the ability to continue, I hug her. Ressting my head on her shoulder, I cry.

"Hey, Ally, shh, its okay." She pats my head, moving her hand over my hair.

"What did he do?" Grabbing my shoulders and pulling me back, she stares into my eyes.

"He – he-" I cover my face and start crying again.

"He what?!" She loses it, raising her voice the highest I've ever heard.

"I quit the job." I cover my mouth as I pathetically sob. She gasps but quickly recomposes.

"Does it matter? I mean I didn't really think you needed it in the first place." She puts one hand on her waist and other on her face.

"Yes, well no, not that way but-"

"What?" She shakes her head with closed eyes.

"I mean remember all of this disguise and stuff was for a reason." I state as I rub my nose. I know, so-not-me.

"Um, yeah but its fine! We'll hire a detective! You didn't need that dumbass job anyway. You're meant to be a CEO Ally Ricosta, not some stupid P.A." She raises her hands in the air and walks out of the room.

A small smile forms on my face as she leaves and I wipe away the tears. Seriously, why am I crying? Its okay, I'll hire a lawyer, a detective, basically anyone whose professional in digging up secrets. Best left to them. I'll just do that.

But what about Nathan?

Well, what about him? I will have to let him go. Don't we all have to let go at some point? Maybe this is the point for me, maybe this is where it all ends. Maybe this is where it starts falling back into place.

Its settled. Tomorrow I walk into the offices of the best lawyers and detectives of New York City, explain all of this to them and then they'll give my company back to me. It will all be good. It will.

I look at my reflection in the mirror. The woman looks determined and tired, all at the same time. There's a faint smile on her face that says its over, all of this, its finally over. There's no use keeping this stupid job and doing ridiculous things like becoming a secretary when I have a bloody Oxford MBA! Dad didn't see his daughter being a P.A., no matter how worse a situation, I could never be anything less than what I deserve.
