Just In Time h.s

Chapter 14

LILA'S POV:

I needed to find Thomas. I need him to explain to me what the hell has been going on in that room. Grasping at my midnight hair, tangling my fingers within the curly mess, I walked towards front desk. That ascot wearing bastard better be there or I will ruin him.

My heels clicked against the marble ground with my head hanging low, picking at the nails on my fingers. I could hear the distinct clack of another woman's heels. On my marble view, I came toe to toe with a pair of black, red bottom Christian Louboutin heels.

"LILAAA!" How the devil screeches so beautifully.

"Hey sweetheart. Why don't you put your head up and actually pay attention to what's happening? You almost scuffed my heels!"

"Sweetheart. I was barely even near you." She got her botox filled face closer to my ear.

"Listen here you little skank. Stay at least a foot away from me. I will not hesitate to get you fired. Wouldn't want that to happen right?"

"Not at all." God so help me before I ring this girl's neck.

"I'm sure Darcy wouldn't want to either." An evil smirk spread across her face. My face paled at the mention of my baby Darcy.

"Oh is the little baby scared? Yeah, that's right. Daddy put me on filing duty. Why would I file when I can read all your profiles?" She laughed evilly and strutted away, leaving behind a trail of darkness.

Was she in the plan with Thomas and the two strangers? Is she trying to take over the company too? Is her plan to knock out the faithful company workers? Is that why she's so mean to me? I needed to find Thomas.

I kept walking towards the front desk in hopes of finding Thomas sitting there. Walking towards the desk, I saw him there. I angrily stomped towards his desk.

"Hi Lil-"

"What are you doing?! Who do you think you are?! Mr.Smith has given us the best he could!"

"Lila, what are you talking about?"

"I'M TALKING ABOUT YOUR RENDEZ-VOUS WITH TWO STRANGERS!"

I could feel the stares boring into both of us. His mouth parted slightly and I could see his face twisting from shock to anger.

"Come here." His words were short and angry. He latched onto my arm and pulled me towards the break room, shoving me into a plastic seat.

"Oww! What the hell was that for?!"

"Listen here Lila. My conversations are for me. My own damn conversations. How dare you blurt that to the world?! Stay out of my damn business." His finger was pointing right in my face. He was boiling with anger and I could see his jaw clenching.

"How was I suppose to know?! I didn't know what the hell lead to that hallway!"

"THEN KEEP YOUR CURIOSITY AT A MINIMUM! MY BUSINESS IS MY OWN DAMN BUSINESS!" His nostrils were flaring and his finger was angrily pointing at me. His whole entire face was red and his eyes were devoid of all color except for a dark ominous black. His chest was heaving heavily up and down.

"JUST STAY OUT OF MY BUSINESS!" With that, he slammed the plastic chair forcibly against the table, almost making it detract and fall.

I was left absolutely speechless. Thomas has never been so forceful and angry let alone angry with me before. My head was in my hands with tiny droplets of salty tears drowning my face. What did I do? Gosh! I'm so stupid! How could I accuse Thomas like that? He has been my best friend through everything! I should go try apologizing to him.
