I sat at my desk replaying the events of last night over and over in my bed.
“Will you…?”
Every time I thought about it, I got winded.
“I love you, you know that?”
My breathing started to shortened again.
“Oce…?”
Leah snapped me out of my thoughts.
“It’s time for your meeting”
I nodded and stood up mindlessly. I walked out of my office and to the office of my supervisor; my boss. I knocked and he waved for me to come in.
“Yes, yes, let me call you back. I’m in the middle of a meeting” he said into the phone before hanging up.
I walked over to him and sat down.
“Oceane! How have you been?”
“Great, sir thank you”
“How’s the little tyke? Getting into trouble, yet?”
“Thankfully not yet” I laughed
“Great…great, well I called you in here to offer you the position of a lifetime”
“Wait…” I snapped back into reality, “You mean…like the position you sent an email out about…the CEO of-”
“Our L.A. Office in the states? Yes. That’s the position”
“Pardon me for saying this but I don’t think I’m qualified for that”
“Rubbish! You’re the only person I trust. And sure there may be a few things you’ve gotta learn but we’ll take care of that, no problem”
My face dropped. I instantly began to smile.
“Oh my god”
“Of course everything is covered and through corporate housing in Los Angeles”
My mind started racing, only to suddenly come to a stop. It stopped at the moment when I shared my news with Harry which meant me taking Edward away. He loved that boy.
“So what do you say?”
“I…I…” I repeated
“It’s a lot to take in, give me your answer in two weeks”
I nodded.
I could live with that.
I was still unable to find the words to say aloud. I left his office and walked back to mine. Everything was falling into place for me and I had so many different paths I could take.
Caleb and Edward
Harry and Edward
L.A. Or London
And the biggest one of all….marriage.
It was all too much. I couldn’t take it. Suddenly I went into a panic attack. My heart started racing, my breath was shortened. My palms were sweaty. I was terrified.
Leah walked in and panicked grabbing me and rushing me up to the top of the roof.
“Breathe!” she tried to soothe me
I was crying hysterically.
“Did he fire you or something?”
“No” I gasped, “He wants to promote me”
