Love Comes With Agony

chapter 21

Chelsea's POV

"Hey come in.." I heard him say...
I quietly went inside... I looked up and saw his office has changed a lot since the last time I saw it... The wooden mahogany desk was replaced with another wooden table ... His chair was smaller compared to the previous one... His shelf was pretty organised... Previously everything about this place was so unkempt... But now everything looked so in place.. wow he is changed... I thought to myself...
"Your office is neat..." I said admiring the entire place...
"Thanks Sophia did it..." He said with pride in his voice...
My heart ached at her name but I chose to ignore it... I came here with a purpose and nobody was going distract me...
"Oh good..." I said quietly..
"So um what brings you here?? You are supposed to stay at home and rest...!!" He said in a straight voice..
"Um actually I came here to talk to you about something... Uhhh about 'us' specifically..." I said... Wow I said... I looked at him, he wasn't even looking at him... He was staring at something outside the huge glass window... He didn't speak a word, for a long time...
"Axel?? Did you hear what I said?" I asked again thinking that maybe he didn't hear what I had said... Wait maybe he is shocked after hearing that... Wow still no reply... I kept standing in my place and staring at his back... Waiting eagerly for a response... I was getting really impatient and was about to open my mouth when he spoke...
"You want to give 'us' another chance...??" He said finally looking at me..
"Uh yeah... Look I know what I did was wrong, it was completely unacceptable... But trust me I didn't think that through... After I went away was when I realized how much of an asshole I was... I swear I would do anything to just get you back... Please I beg you..." I said with a lot of feelings and a hell lot of meanings...
"So you just want me to forget everything??" He asked but again turning away from me...
"No... I just want you to forgive me and give this is a chance... I won't do anything that will hurt you... Trust me.. please... Axel I am begging you..." I said almost on the verge of going down on my knees if I had to...
"Fine..." He said but obviously me being the stupid person didn't understand...
"No Axel please I am sorry... I really am.. wait what did you say??" I asked...
"I said fine I'll give 'us' a chance..." He said
"Reallllyyyyyy???" I said... He just made me the most happiest person in the entire world no in the entire universe... Oh god this was the best day of my life.... I went straight up to him to hug him but he stopped me...
"Wait I didn't finish speaking.... I said I was going to give 'us' a chance if you do something for me..." He said but now he was sitting on his chair with his head resting on his hand...
"Ok I will do anything just say it... I am willing to do anything for you..." I said but then I was getting a little anxious as to what he would want me to do...
"Quit working for DANISH..." He said in a clear cut voice...
His words were like bricks hitting my face... Wait is he out if his mind... Working for DANISH was my dream... And now that I have achieved it he wants me to throw it away...
"Are you serious...?? Axel why do you want me to do this... I can't just give up my dream... Ok wait more than that it's my job... If I quit then who's going to pay for Everything...?? What about my sister's education...?? What about dad's medications...?? What about the bills..?? You know I am the only earning person.. there's got to be another way we can do this..." I started rambling... He can't just ask me to quit so that there can be an 'us'..
"I wasn't done talking... Quit your job and come and work as my personal assistant..." He said, and by this time my entire head was spinning.
So he wants me to quit my job and work for him... He is got to be kidding me right now...
"You are kidding right??" I asked
"Nope not even an inch..." He said looking me dead in the eye.. I was rendered speechless... I knew he had something in mind when he agreed with me straight away but I didn't know this was what was going on in his brain... Why was he being so mean?? He was never like this... I don't know how long it was before I spoke...
"Just give me sometime I'll let you know..." I said but not looking up at him....
"Nope I am sorry you don't have the time to think... Whatever you decide you do it right here right now... If you leave my office without a decision then we are done..." He said in a stern voice...
Now he is really got to be shitting me... This is an impossible decision... He can't just burden me with something like this... This is inhumane... This is travesty...
"No please just give me sometime..." I asked almost pleading to him...
"It's your decision.. everything's up to you... non hai intenzione di farla franca con questo..." He said something in Italian... But unfortunately I understood that... He forgot that he was the one who taught me the basics.. and after that I took it up and mastered the language... But obviously I decided not to tell him that I understood... I knew he was not going to let me get away with what I did... And this was something I feared the most... What did I get myself into...??
