The girl in the picture above shows Kayla, Thea's best friend.

Chapter 3:

As soon as I got home, I had to tell someone what was going on. I had to see someone to chat with. I called my best friend Kayla. She's one of the few people in my life who knows about my relationship with Jack. But to be honest, no one knows everything, there's always some details that I don't tell anyone about.

"You wanna go out? We can go to our usual café and talk" she asked through the phone.

"Alright, see u in an hour"

I went to my apartment, changed my clothes, fixed my makeup then scrolled a bit through Instagram. I didn't have the time to eat, so I decided to eat after I get home.

"Oh my God I missed you so much!" she wrapped her arms around me.

"I missed you too" I hugged her back

We found a table and sat down after getting two coffees. Thinking about it, I found my topic pretty lame to talk about. I mean did I really invite her just to tell her that I'm working for Jack?

"what are you thinking about?" she asked,

"it's about the new job I told you about" I said, not making eye contact

"Did you get it? How does your boss look like? Is he hot?"

"Yes, i mean no" I rolled my eyes at myself, "I got the job, but my boss is..."

"Christian Grey ?" i was cut off by her childish guess

"seriously?" I laughed, "My boss is Jack Gilinsky" I said nervously, I didn't know how I should be acting like.

"Who's that?" she looked at me, with a questioning expression.

"Remember when we were fifteen? Th-"

"Ohh" I was cut off by her reaction, "The mixed signals guy"

I laughed at his nickname, "More likely the bipolar one"

"Holy fuck, he's your what? Since when did he became a CEO?"

"I don't know either" I told her, "Google it"

"You're right, let me google him" she said, all smiley, like a kid who was just given a candy.

"That was meant to be a joke" I rolled my eyes, but you know, after thinking about it, googling him wasn't a bad idea. I didn't need to show that to Kayla though.

She was way too focused on her phone that she didn't even reply to me, "Damnn girl since when did he became that hot? "

"I was surprised too, his looks has changed way too much"

"Oh, he's a CEO since he was 23, means that after one since-" she widened her eyes at her phone

"Holy fuck he's 25 now!"

I looked at her, rolling my eyes, as she understood. "alright alright, I'm gonna close my phone"

"So, working for him huh?" she said, "Did you plan that?"

"Of course not" I looked at her, with a disgusted face, i must say.

"stop making that face" she giggled, "do you think it's good for you to be near him?"

"I don't know, Kayla" I sighed, "He said I'm not allowed to tell anyone about whatever we had back then"

"Oh, he's ashamed or what?" she narrowed her eyebrow, annoyed

"Maybe he has someone in his life now, and doesn't want it to affect his relationship"

"Here we go again" she rolled her eyes

I huffed, "It's not like I'd want to tell anyone about it either"

"I understand" She stated, "So how's he treating you?"

"He's keeping it professional" I told her, truthfully, "and let me tell you, he's 100% not interested, neither am I"

"you sure, about the him part? Those intimidating bosses don't show interest like normal people, you can't predict when they just bend you over their desk and --"

"Eww" I cut her off laughing, and covering my ears, "I don't wanna hear that"

"Anyway you get my point" she chuckled

"Yeah but I'm not letting anything happen between us"

"I know you won't" she smiled a lopsided smile, "You're not an easy girl, anymore"

That damned last word. Truth hurts sometimes huh?
Shut up.

"So what do you think? Should I keep working for him?"

"I mean, yeah" she told me, "If you two aren't interested, and he, unlike your other bosses, can keep it in his pants and not try anything"

"Alright" I said, "Thanks God the hot uniform is not going to be wasted"

She giggled,

"So, how is it between you and that hot guy?"

"He's being super needy" she huffed, "His looks are really wasted because of his lack of brain cells"

"Oh" I laughed, "That's sad"

"I cut him off and he's still sending texts"

"Just block him" I said,

She pursed her lips then nodded, doing what I suggested, "Bocked" she said, "now what? I need a new guy" pouting her lower lip

I laughed at her childish act, as I heard my phone ringing.

The screen was lightening with Justin's name.

"Hello?"

"Hey justin"

"how's my girl doing?"

I smiled, "I'm good , what about you?"

"I'm alright , did you get the job?"

"yes" I told him, not seeming interested in continuing to talk about my job.

"good" He said as I noticed the change in his tone, "what are you doing?"

"I'm at the café with Kayla, you?"

"nothing, I'm just helping my mother with her files"

"Good for you" I laughed, "Anyways, go help your momma ima call you later"

I woke up bothered by the annoying alarm this morning. Made my morning routine after a quick run and shower, then grabbed a coffee cup on my way from Starbucks.

I made it through the elevator after 3 minutes of anxiety, then went to my office.

"Good morning Mr Gilinsky" I greeted through the phone

"morning" He said, "We have a meeting in 1 hour, I want you to arrange the meeting room and spell check every paper in the file twice."

I did as I was told. Then we were at the meeting room, with Jack on the head of the table, me on his left, and the other people filling the rest of the chairs.

Jack was stern, serious, and all focused. His decisions were undebatable, as all of the attention was drawn to his mouth, which was voicing the plans he'd like to do if they signed the contract.

"Your work is perfect, Mr Gilinsky, I'd be happy to give you the project , but could the price be lowered?"

"I don't think we are at the grocery store, Mr Smith" Jack said a hint of sarcastic smile on his lips as he narrowed his left eyebrow, "The answer's no" he stated as the change of his tone, to a very serious one.
