Jedrek's POV

I slammed my office phone down into place before slashing the stack of papers to my left off of the desk and onto the floor. I growled out in frustration at one of my employee's stupidity and banged my fist against the wooden desktop. I took a few deep breaths while pinching at the bridge of my nose, trying to quell the stress headache that was starting to brew.

Fucking incompetent morons.

I lifted my head and rolled my neck trying to relieve some of the tension there. As I did so, my eyes landed on one of the last photos of my Roxie girl I ever took where it sat framed next to my computer monitor. I signed deeply before grabbing the silver frame and bringing the photo close to me. It was one of my favorite photos of her. We'd decided to escape for the weekend and go camping. The sun had just started to set, but it was still as hot as ever. She'd looked at me with that sweet, devious smile before getting up and sprinting towards the lake. I captured the photo just as she'd looked over her shoulder as I called after her, a high pitched giggle pushing through her lips. Her hair was whipping around her in every different direction. She looked crazy but so fucking perfect.

I stroked my thumb over the photo, chuckling as I imagined what she would probably say to me about the phone call I just had. I say we just remove warning labels and let natural selection take its course. There'd be a lot less idiocy in the world.

The thought had me laughing, something I seldom did anymore. I huffed and set the photo back down where it had been previously and leaned back in my chair. If I knew my Roxie girl at all, I knew she would come to the wedding like her dad had asked. After her mom passed, she tried to stay in touch with the only parent she had left. My fists clenched so tight my hands turned white as I thought about her father. Tori had even him under her fucking thumb.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't on pins and fucking needles thinking about seeing Roxie in a few short days. When Tori and I had gone to dinner with Sandra and Robert and they broke the news of her impending arrival, I felt like I couldn't breathe. There wasn't enough oxygen in the world to fill my lungs. There hadn't been a single Goddamn day that passed that I haven't thought about my Roxie girl.

Sadly, the only photos I had to ease my heart were the ones I'd taken of her during our time together. I scoured the internet for hours upon hours, searching for any sign of her on social media. Every minute ended up being fruitless, though - she deleted any and every profile she'd ever had.

Pulling up the internet, I gave finding her one last-ditch effort. I typed in several different variations of her name but found nothing. Grumbling angrily, I powered off my computer and gathered my sketching supplies. If I spent one more minute in this fucking building, I was going to lose the last shred of patience I had for the day.

"Mr. Chamberlain, sir! Slow down, we need your approval on a project budget!" one of my men called after me. I growled under my breath before staying rooted in place and allowing him to catch up to me. I quickly scanned the budget proposal before nodding my head and giving him the okay he was looking for. I shoved the paper back into his hands and quickly took off, hoping to make it out before a certain someone found and stopped me.

Entering the elevator, I slammed my finger against the LL button before continuously holding the "door close" button. I released a sigh of relief as the steel doors shut and I started my descent. I pulled my keys from my pocket, practically running to my vehicle.

"Jedrek! Stop!" Tori shouted at me from across the parking garage. I rolled my eyes and quickened my pace. "Dammit, I said stop!" she screeched again.
