I feel a hard flick on my forehead. I turn to the other side as I grunt in my sleep. A another hard flick hit my forehead.

What the—

I slowly open my eyes and see Mr Coleman.

I gaped as I sat up from my bed. "What are you doing here? Who the hell let you in?"

"Monica" he blurts our plainly.

Of course Monica.

"Damn her, I swear"

"Why haven't you told me you haven't been sleeping. Pulling all those all-nighter's?" He asked in seriousness.

"It isn't quite your business" I snap at him.

"It is my business if you're working one day and suddenly faints while on the clock" he snaps back loudly.

I looked down and stayed quiet.

"You're off the schedule for today and tomorrow and the following day. So use those days to rest" He adds.

I quickly look up at him. "What?! No! I'm fine. I don't need to rest"

"Yes you do, Emily. You're sleep deprived. It's not an question. It's an order. I will not let you go back to work unless you get your rest that you need"

I looked away and sighed in disapproval. "Fine"

"Rest up today and tomorrow and I'll come pick you up on Sunday in the morning for our errands" He states.

I nod.

He suddenly grabs my chin and turn my face to look up at him. "I'm serious. You're health is way more important than anything"

I stare into his eyes as my heart suddenly starts to beat.

Why is my heart beating at a time like this?!

"Y-yes"

"Okay, I'll be off then. I have things to do. If you need anything to be afraid to call. I added my number into your contacts on your phone."

I nod as he walks out my room as he shuts the door close.

I lift my hand to my chest. Am I attracted to him? I can't be. He's such an asshole.

But then again the way he cared for my Heath....SNAP OUT OF IT EMILY! He's still an evil man. I flopped back to my bed and I laid back to bed. I just need to rest maybe my sleep deprived is making me have mixed up emotions.

I woke up the next feeling pretty good. Having a day off isn't all that bad actually. I stood from the bed and walked to the kitchen.

I walked as I see Monica and Liam kissing.

"Ugh! I'm here, did you both forget?!" I walk past them and open the fridge.

Monica laughs "Sorry Em, I just can't keep my hands off him"

"Well try to keep it off while I'm here" I grab a bowl of fruits and sat at the table.

She smiles "So, what did Micheal tell you?"

I looked up at her and just her a bitch face. "Why did you even call him, I told him I didn't like him"

I took a bite of the strawberry as I looked at her.

"I'm sorry, but he had to know. He is your boss anyways plus I think you guys are really cute together" she giggles at me.

I stare at her with no emotion as I continue to eat my fruits.
