Those Blue Eyes

Chap 37: Caught In The Act

(Picture Robert "Bob" Taylor of Above)

                 The book signing went right as planned. Evan, Mr. Taylor, Roberta Stanley all shook hands with Colin Grates (pretend author). They took pictures and made fake small talk. People came and the first 20 got their books free with a signature. It was successful. Afterwards, Evan took me out to lunch.
            When we got back to the office, Evan had already received a check in the mail for the company. So he made are everything was in order before giving it to me to give to Mr. Taylor.
              "I can go, if you want." Evan says to me. "Bob's gonna be an ass, I know."
             I shake my head. "Thanks, but I need to stand my ground with Mr. Taylor. I'm tired of his rude behavior towards me."
              "That's my girl." Evan smirks then winks at me sexily before I step out of his office. "I think we'll wrap up early today, Miss Adams."
               "Of course, Mr. Taylor." I nod my head and close his office door.
               I make my way to Mr. Taylor's office, head held high. I will not let Mr. Taylor bully me. I repeat, I will not let Mr. Taylor bully me.  
            As I approach the door of Mr. Taylor's office, I can't help but notice how dark it is in his office. His truck was parked outside in the front. Had he taken a long lunch? No. Mr. Taylor NEVER takes more time than what is expected. If anything, he jumps on it right away and comes back early.
               I peak in close to the small window of Mr. Taylor's office. It's dark but I can see movement inside. As I squint harder and harder, I begin to make out two figures inside. Then I see it. My body freezes in horror. Oh, my god. OH, MY GOD NO! Feeling light headed, I grab onto the wall for support. Everything becomes blurry.
            Somehow I manage to find my way back to Evan's office. I close the sir behind me. How am I going to tell Evan what I just saw? Tears escape down my cheeks at the thought of Evan's heart breaking. I cover my mouth to muffle my sob.
            "Did you give it to him?" Evan's cool voice brings me back, making it hard to muffle my sobs. "Brooke?"
              I slowly turn on my heels and face him, wanting to just get it over with. Evan drops his pen at the sight of my tears, his eyes becoming a mixture of soft and fire. I can barely breathe.
            "What the fuck did that bastard say?" Evan rises from his desk, rushing over to me. "Baby, what happened?"
           Now my back is pressed to the door and Evan is close to me. He makes me look at him, his curled index finger lifting my chin to look at him. He then puts his hands on my cheeks, rubbing my tears away.
           "B-Bob's cheating w-with Candace." My voice cannot go above a whisper, "On his—his desk."
               Evan's soft, gentle eyes search mine for a moment. That softness fades away as he takes in my words. I sniff.
               "I'm so sorry, Baby." I say sadly.
                  Evan grabs the office door and hurried out, dragging me along with him. He quickly marches to Mr. Taylor's office, nearly losing me in the process as he drags me like a rag doll. Without warning, Evan burst open the office door. It slams against the wall, causing a dent in the wall. He flips in the light—OH. MY. GOD! I turn away from the horrific sight. Bob is bent over his desk with Candace.
              "WHAT THE HELL, BOB?" Evan screams, making me jump. "Miss Fischer, get out!"
              Quickly, Candace picks her clothes up and rushes out half naked into the nearly empty office. My face flushes at all of this. Evan pulls me into Mr. Taylor's office and slams it shut. I pull the blinds so no one can look in like I had. Mr. Taylor stands there with his pants down, his lower half all exposed. I cover my face so I don't have to see it.
             "PULL. YOUR. DAMN. PANTS. UP. BOB!" Evan screams angrily, "Nobody wants to see your saggy ass and pathetic dick."
             "It made you, didn't it?" Oh shit. He did NOT just say that.
              Evan begins to huff at Mr. Taylor's words, I grab his hand to calm him. He's shaking so badly. My poor Baby.
              "Why?" Evan says angrily, calming down "Why do this to mom?"
                "It's not like it's the first time Laura has caught me with my pants down before." Mr. Taylor says snarkily, buttoning up his pants. "Besides, you're not so clean yourself there son. Don't act so innocent. I'm sure you've made her crawl under your desk and—"
                "DON'T EVEN FUCKING SAY ONE MORE WORD!" I lightly put my hand on his back, resting my forehead in the middle of his back. "Your a cheating piece of shit."
                "And I thought we were getting along so well this morning." Bob says smoothly, smiling sickly.
                   "Get your priorities straight, Bob." Evan grabs the door handle and yanks it open, "Cause it's over for you."
                    Evan grabs my hand and drags me to his office. He quickly packs  everything up, I watch anxiously. Evan then takes my hand and clocks us both out early.
