A Way Back

Chapter 14

Elizabeth POV

**

"I need to go back to work. Elena will offer you anything you need" He said with blank expressions.
"Chris wait a minute," I said before he left the room . " will you ever give me a chance to explain". He backs his head in disbelief.
" There's nothing to talk about Elizabeth. You did what you did. And I moved on long ago. I have A business to take care of and a girlfriend to be with. Plus, whatever you say can never change who you are"He said angrily including cold facial expressions. I was shocked yet sad by all the things he said about me. But I deserve it after all
" By the way,  I'm not kicking you off my place you can stay here as much as you want. If you feel like going somewhere, your driver is outside " He declared and left the room.
Chris is making me more confused each time. If he hates  me that much why does he takes care of me sometimes? why He is always worried about me? Does  he have double personalities? It's confusing and it hurts  at one full spoon. I want nothing but to tell him the truth But he doesn't want to hear anything from me. Oh Chris why are you so complicated?
I descend the stairs for a meal. I'm hungry. I found Elena In the kitchen Baking something. I saluted her with a smile she Returned   And walked towards me.
" Miss Elizabeth, how was your slumber? I hope You get much rest " I nodded.
" Yeah, of course, thanks for asking " As I was going to ask her about my breakfast She added" your Breakfast Is ready. Chris insisted that you should have it on the vast balcony. He said you are going to love it ." I nodded again.
Oh, Chris What a mystery man you become. I took the stairs up to where Elena directed me. It was a room with classic sofas and decors. And then there's a big glass door. I Opened it And there was the beautiful vast balcony. It was filled with flowers in different colors. There was a big comfy chair also With a glass table. You can call it a little heaven. He was right, it's so fascinating. Oh, Chris what a sensitive Man you are!
I sit down on the chair gazing at the big meal which was made especially for me. I started eating and yummy! I haven't eaten such a delicious breakfast Since my last visit to my parent's house. I missed them So much. As I finished my orange juice,  one of the maids showed up with my phone in her hand. She Hands it to me. I glance at The id and there was Chris. My heart was going to stop. After what he said, how could I talk to him?
I answered with a low tone  "Hi Chris "
" Eh! Elizabeth how are you? Did you eat your breakfast ? " he was worried. God help me understand this man; just a few minutes ago  he was  screaming in my face. "Chris I'm Fine. I mean you have just left. I had my  breakfast And it was awesome So does the view by the way. Thank you"
"I just called to ask if You are getting the best treatment. You'll stay till I came back or are you willing to go ?" He asked.
"I guess I'm going home. I don't think you'll be able to see me when you come back ".
"Okay," He answered with a low tone and then he hang up. I sat there thinking for a while. Why would he want me to stay? He hates me Why would he want my company?
"Because maybe he still got some feelings for you" My inner conscious screams. Oh Shut up !that's just can't be true. 
I returned home. I couldn't enjoy my sweet apartment alone. All I wanted was to lay on the sofa watching Netflix. It's hard for me to get used to drama in my life. Because since my trip to NYC my life was all about work. I wasn't obliged to explain myself to anyone. My soul was at ease. But now I have tons of emotions, misunderstandings, and fights. I can't be accustomed to this. I can handle thousands of papers. I can deal with strict companies But not feelings. It's just not for me.
On Sunday I didn't leave home, and fortunately No one paid a visit. It was just me , Food and Classical music . What a beautiful combination! I called my mother to check up on her. And like every time she had to cry a little while talking to me. I miss her too, my whole family actually. 
The following Two weeks were eventless. At work, there's nothing new except the big Deal we made with the furniture company which my last Director congrats me on. I met Chris every day since I got a lot of work with him. However, we barely share real talk. Most of the time we just sat there looking at each other speechless. No emotions included. I tried to talk to him about the breakup several times But he ignores me Like I'm nothing Like I was nothing and it hurts. The more I see him the more I keep getting attached to him. But all he does is Treat me like every other employee. When I catch him looking at me I got hope that he will talk about it. but he quickly runs his eyes and returns to his monotone gestures. Daniel is My stress killer and My only friend at work. We get along a lot. Sometimes we go out for lunch Or just meet in the coffee room To share a chit chat. He talked to me about his exes and fun days in summer however I didn't say anything to him, I didn't even tell him about Chris, Or we can say our boss. I met Sarah a couple of times on a cup of tea. I needed someone for advice. She told me to not say anything about the breakup since the real story is as painful as the fake one. In each of them, I was selfish and bad.
