-Lee's POV-
It's Monday and he already hates my first two attempts. What does he expect from me? He didn't even give me the key to having a look inside. When he gave permission to go and have a look. I was allowed to look through the windows. So tell me how must I be able to do my work?
"Where did you bought your degree? I hate these two attempts! Do you call yourself an interior designer? I think your teacher pitied you and just gave you, your degree!! You are one of the most pathetic designers I know!! Get out of my sight!" he threw me with my designs.
My body can't move, but my tears just rolled down my red embarrassed cheeks. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR EARS GET OUT!!" he yelled at me with his back facing me. The next moment I run, I run as fast as I can. I don't know where to, but I can't stand that man. As I running away from the property, it feels like I'm been followed. I stop and wait for the car to pass by, but he didn't. He stops next to me and I see that it is Connor.
"Miss. McGregor, will you please climb in? I have some first aid for your eye." What's wrong with my eye? I touch my eye, but its blood all over my fingertips. I climb into the car and Connor helps me with my eye. "Miss I think we need to go to the hospital." I just nodded and stay quiet. As the car drive, I broke the silence and ask Connor. "Why are you even friends with him, if he treats you badly? What's in for you?" "Miss. Ryan wasn't a monster before his heart got broken. He loved Amber with everything, he was ready to purpose to her after 7 years relationship, but just before he could purpose he founded her body in her bed. As if she were sleeping. He rushed to the hospital and they told him that she had cancer. Later on, he founded a letter, that Amber wrote for him explaining why she never told him about cancer. She wanted to enjoy each day with him without him worrying about her. His way to keep him distant from everyone is to be mean and hurtful. Although, he doesn't mean it. Yes, he's that cliché of a multi-billionaire that works his butt off to get where he is today and yes he uses women to get over his pain, but since Amber, he never loved a woman again. So the reason why I'm still his best friend, is I promised my sister that I would take care of him till the day death part us." I don't know why but for some reason my throat has this feeling, where I'm about to start cry.
We reached the hospital and the doctor looked at my eye. It's only a small vein that burst so it's an eye patch for two weeks, then I'm fine. The doctor reckons that corner of the paper that Mr. Wilson threw me with popped my eye's vein or it could be from the shock. The doctor treats my eye with some medicine and walks away.
I climb off the hospital bed and walk to the car. Before Connor could say anything I interrupt "Thank you, for sharing Mr. Wilson's story with me. I'm very sorry about your sister. You are a good man Connor. " he thanked me and helped me into the car.
"Connor where would I be sleeping, because I get the feeling we aren't close to Somerset- West, are we?" he laughed at me. "You are not from here, are you? We are staying at one of the Hotels in Hermanus. Hermanus is where the property is." I shook my head and tried to google, but I didn't succeed in it. My cellphone's battery just died. "No my hometown is Waco, Texas I immigrated to South Africa in May."
When we arrived at the hotel I was fast asleep, but I heard Connor called Mr. Wilson. The next moment someone picks me from the passenger seat into his arms. Wow, this dude smells AMAZING! I woke u, but keep my eyes closed so that Mr. Wilson won't hurt me again. Mr. Wilson starts shouting at Connor. "What happened to her eye? Where have you guys been? Why didn't you called?" with that I zoned out in a bed. Wowee, this is soo comfy. Wait a minute, is this my bedroom? oh well, this is tomorrow's worries!
