Few Days Later

Jay's POV

Phone Call

"Yeah, Christina. I'll see you tonight," I told her.

"Alright. I can't wait to meet your sister. From the way you described her, she sounds so amazing," she said.

"She is, but I gotta go. I'll talk to you later," I told her.

"Alright. Later," she said.

"Later," I replied.

End of Call

I had decided to tell Vanessa about Christina. I don't wanna keep hiding this from her. It feels like lying, and Christina and I are getting more serious everyday.

I think Vanessa will really like her. Well, I hope she does anyway.

I went to Bey's office to take her some files. The door was locked, so I knocked.

I didn't get an answer, so I knocked again. When I didn't get an answer again, I assumed that she wasn't here again.

This was the third day that she hadn't been there, and I was starting to get worried.

It's really not like her to miss work like this. She hasn't missed one day since I've started working here a little over four months ago.

I saw her assistant Demi walking down the hallway, and I stopped her to ask about Bey.

"Hey Demi, do you know where Bey is?," I asked her.

"Um, I'm not sure. All I know is that she called in and said that she needed a few personal days," she told me.

"Alright. Well, thanks Demi," I said to her.

"You're welcome," she replied before walking away.

I pulled out my phone and tried to call her twice, but she didn't answer either time.

I went back in my office and grabbed my jacket and keys. I decided to go over to her house to see if she was okay.

I had been over to her house once before when we were working on that L'Oréal campaign together.

I left the building and got in my car to go check on her.

Bey's POV
I was lying in bed just watching TV and trying not to think about the whole Michael situation.

But so far I had been failing. I've been crying since the day it all happened. I feel like I should be out of tears right now.

I wish it didn't hurt, but it does. It hurts so much because, no matter how much I don't wanna admit, I loved him, and I really thought we were fixing things.

At least this all happened before I married him because it would've been so much worse had we been married.

I hadn't been to work in a few days because I just wanted to be alone for a while and give myself some time to heal without the stress of work.
