CHAPTER 10-The elevator

Amelia POV

Monday morning came as usual and I went to work. When I got to the office, I met Diana typing on her computer and her face looks natural. I was surprised to see the changes in her. When she heard me entering, She looked up and smiled at me.
" Is this the real Diana? " I thought as I couldn't stop staring at her.

"Good morning " she greeted. I looked around to see if she was greeting me or not. "It's you, Amelia. Good morning how was your weekend? " she asked smiling.

"Fine, I guess"I replied. 

she looked at me and then noticed my hand. "Amelia what happened to your hand?" she sounded concerned and I blinked twice to see if she was asking me.

"It's a mistake I made but it's fine now.  thanks for asking, "I replied to her and turned to walk to the elevator when she called me back.

"Amelia, have lunch with me today my treat," she requested.

"Okay "I accepted and she squealed. "Thanks for inviting me and Diana you look beautiful by the way," I commented and walked into the elevator.

A few minutes after I got to my office, I saw Dylan arriving. The phone rang a few seconds later and I picked it up.

"In my office now! " he commanded but I didn't find fault in it because I missed how his voice sounded so deep. I left my desk and headed to his office. When I got to the front of his office, I took a deep breath before I knocked and entered his office.

"Good morning sir" I greeted him.

"Have you fixed the meeting with the Chinese investors? " he asked while ignoring my greetings. I shook my head in response. "Answer with words Amelia"

"I'm sorry sir, it skipped my mind "

"It skipped your mind like it did when you forgot to tell me that you were leaving," he shouted and I jumped at the sound of his voice. "Answer me Amelia and what the fuck happened to your hand? " he asked and grabbed my injured hand gently. 

"I made a mistake," I said quietly.

"A mistake, how could you burn your hand Amelia when you are not a child," he scolded

"I'm sorry sir," I said and loosen his grip on my hand.

"Make sure you treat your hand and don't make mistakes like that in the future," he warned. " set the meeting with the investors and then we will talk about why you left without telling me"

"I told your mother" I shouted, I didn't know why but I was getting angry. "Don't act as if you cared about me leaving or not. you were with Anna " I accused.

"Don't use that tone on me Amelia " he said. "At least you could have waited for me to come before you leave. I wanted to thank you for coming " he said.

"How is Stella? " I asked.

"She is better," he replied.

"Look am sorry for not telling you I was leaving but something happened so I had to leave, "I told him and he nodded.

"Go set the meeting Amelia "he ordered.

I bowed my head in response and left the office.

I set the meeting with the Chinese investors and informed Dylan. He ordered me to arrange some files in his office and I complied. He let me leave when it was time for lunch.

Just as Diana promised, we both met for lunch.

" I must say I'm surprised to be sitting here with you Diana," I told her as we eat our lunch. I ordered spaghetti with fish sauce while she ordered potato chips.
