Secrecy of Regrets

36- I AM NOT A LESBIAN

36- I AM NOT A LESBIAN

She placed the plate on coffee table and instructed me to finish it. I told her that I am not hungry, she glared at me. I immediately obliged to the orders. She gave me triumph smile for maximum two seconds and she adjusted her facial expressions to very very angry one and strode towards living room yelling Jack's name in full force.

BEST OF LUCK JACK THE FREAKING NICHOLSON!

I was practically forcing each bite with water to push it down to throat. I was full but Charlotte's glare inspired me to finish it. I was taking my last bite as Jerk furiously walked towards me. I immediately stood up; grabbing my backpack I made my way towards the living room. But he held my hand dragged me in front of him. I glared at him.

"You can't just have everything your way, okay? Let me go this instant." I jerked my hand back from his tight grip. I am not delicate piece of doll. He only came here because Charlotte forced him. I folded my hands to chest not too tight to give him a good view. I am waiting for your apology you jerk. I started to get irritated but I should wait a little more.

Making sure nothing is coming out of his not so good mouth, I again started my way to living room but his voice stopped me.

"Okay, I shouldn't have said that to you. I made assumptions on my own. I'll be careful with my words in future." Did he give his apology in any press conference? No sorry? So, I came up with best 'It's okay' part.

"Jack, that sounded pretty good. Just one more thing is required!" He looked at me with confusion written all over his face.

"Your Signature!" I beamed at him with fake excitement. He raised his brows signaling for further explanation.

"Do one thing, just take the print out of your apology and give it to me with your signature. Because it seems you are very good at the formal apologies. 'I AM SORRY' would be sufficient but I think 'Sorry' doesn't rolled perfectly around your tongue." With that I turned towards my way and best thing was that he didn't stop me.

Charlotte saw me coming and asked whether I finished dinner or not. I nodded and her expression just took 180 degree turn from motherly inquiry to friendly one. I exhale heavily and said that whatever threat she gave to Jack worked and he apologized. I didn't let her know the details or she would make him to say sorry by kneeling down on his knee.

ONE MONTH passed in blur after that event and ONE MONTH and I couldn't find decent job! JAck or Ethan or Charlotte or all three of them give me a ride to college and I return to home by cab. That has been our daily routine from that day. I meet Alex and we attend our class, talks about the study and library. He is very good at explaining Financial Management subject and I couldn't ask for best tutor than him. That pink head without brain girl has not approached me since that day except her sharp glares wherever we cross the paths. In nutshell, college is going smoothly.

As for my family in India, my brother insisted not to do job and that he'll manage everything just fine. But I don't want to burden him more than necessary. I want job in accounting firm with that I will not have to face problems in future, especially in accounting and financial treatments in Europe Countries.

Again this time Charlotte took initiatives to find a decent job for me that led me to Ethan and Jack! Ethan arranged an interview with Accounts Head in his company as I insisted him to take me only after interview. I didn't want to take advantage of being their friends and get special treatment.

When I allowed Charlotte to find a decent job for me, I thought she would introduce me to one of her clients who might have some contacts but I mistaken. I would have known that this is Charlotte I asking help from!

Currently I am freaking out about my interview. As always I didn't have breakfast I am alive with help of water since morning. This time Jack and Charlotte didn't come with me for making the things obvious to the world and I am thankful for that but I came with Ethan and to add fuel in fire, I came in his CAR. That won me some deathly glares from female employees. I just cannot understand that how my entry with Ethan makes it evident that I am interested in him? Ethan is a certified IDIOT!

Ethan led me through the huge doors of his office building. Only two people greeted me with their TRUE smile. One the bulky security guy named Bobby and a woman at reception named Mary Grace. Ethan introduced me with these two people.

"Ethan, tell your female employees not to give me death glares, I have zero interest in their fancy prey." I said chuckling. Ethan suddenly halted in his way with wide eyes.

"J, I think you have some problem in your eyes! Come near, look at this-" He motioned his hand to his body and I rolled my eyes. And he also has adopted the short name 'J'.

"This is what they crave for. Can't you see the oozing hotness? Guess what?" Ethan and his ego!

"What?" I asked in boring tone even though I am a nervous wreck from inside.

"We should go to the doctor first as you are not normal. I have noticed it from the day you came to have lunch at my home." I froze there but somehow maintained myself from giving any expressions. I raised my brows to him.

"Urghhh... See you don't think I am handsome? Don't you feel some attraction to this six pack abs?" I felt relief.

"I came here for an interview if you forgot! I should have asked Grace about the Financial Department Floor." I ignored his previous question completely.

"You know how difficult it is to get this type of body? Hard work- We need hard work for this." Ethan ranted about his hard work thing as we entered the lift.

"Jack doesn't let me sleep after 6 in the morning. He dragged me out of the bedroom to gym. How painful it is to leave your bed early in the morning. I just couldn't get it how can he wake up 4 in the morning?" That made my head to spin in his direction.

Ethan sometimes can be smart as he caught me! He gave me the playful smirk. I irked my brows at him in confusion.

"Ohh, I see, I see, Jack's name suddenly made you interested in my talks." I wiggled his eyebrows and I couldn't stop myself from rolling my eyes.

"It's not that hard to wake up early in morning. I always wake up 3-30 in morning. Your Jack doesn't achieve anything by waking up early." I showed my tongue out at him and got out of the lift. Ethan walked beside me and I followed him as he way left and right.

"It is not easy to impress you. Charlotte seems easier than you!" Ethan said thinking something.

"Then go, impress her. I have a zero interest in this subject matter neither by you nor by anyone else!" I tried to give him a small idea about Charlotte but that obviously bounce back from his thick skull.

Ethan playfully widened his eyes as if they will out of their socket anytime soon. I soon understand what was going through his empty head!

"No Ethan! I AM NOT A LESBIAN! NO"

Ethan laughed hard. I didn't know that we have reached our destination. And Ethan has already opened the door for me. My eyes widened in realization that I just blurted out the things in front of my supposed colleagues! Some of them had hint of amusement, some boys suddenly thought about their chances, and girls... I didn't get any different treatment apart from jealous glares.
