Chapter 40: drive through

CHAPTER 40: drive through

I have definitely failed that interview. As soon as she mentioned him I blanked out and who knows what I said. My heels are loud on Vance publishing's hard flooring as I approach the glass doors to the car park.

It was nice to have a bit of normality I guess.
Pushing open the doors, a few paparazzi take photos of me from a distance and you know they have pissed me off. I get it it's their job but they are literally paid stalkers.

Sticking my middle finger up to them, I unlock the car and climb in before taking out my phone and calling Kate.
"Sooo, how did it go?" Excitement riddled in her voice.

"Shit. Full on tits up" I slam my hands onto the steering wheel and turn on the engine, "she asked about Christian" I add.

Kate gasps before speaking again, "what specifically did she ask?".

"So obviously I did my research on you and I discovered that your engaged to Christian Grey. And I said was and she goes. Oh I see, well I guess you wouldn't have to work if you were with him. Then she looked me up and down before continuing!" I explain whilst driving home. We exchange our goodbyes and I agree to go to the drive through and grab us all dinner.

The queue isn't too long today so I greedily speed up and order our meals. The large black car in front is taking forever to pay at the next window and it's taking everything in me not to honk at them.

Oh god it's so tempting.

The car rolls forward and I grab my purse ready to pay,
"How much do I owe you" I turn to the guy in the window.

"Nothing. The guy in front paid for you, I think he was like Christian Grey or something" he chews his gum and offers me my receipt which I take and move onto the next window.

Christin paid for my food? Why?

I'm so confused.

Kate's gonna love this.

——

"He did what!" Kate screams as I pass out the food to her and Elliot. Elliot winces at Kate as he takes a bite from his burger.

"Well I don't know it's him, I didn't see him. Could have been someone else" I shrug placing my meal on my lap and leaning into the sofa more. The tv is blasting some random animated film which Elliot seems really interested in.

Kate rambles on about the odds of Christian and I being at the same drive through as me at the same time but I'm more interested in the film. She seems to notice and gives up her point, digging into her food.

My mind keeps on being taken back to the interview when Claire mentioned Christian and our relationship. She almost seemed to be judging me as though I didn't deserve the position as much as someone else. To get the job would be nice to have a change, start my life back up again after Christian. I'd also like to get the job because then I can show Claire how well I work and how much I deserve to be there. Why didn't I start working earlier?

CHRISTIANS POV
Shes haunting me.

I never realised a woman who was only going to occupy me for a small amount of time would have such a connection with me. Understand me. I should've considered her feelings more when going into this plan, I took the fact that she agreed to it to my advantage and played her as my puppet to the press and my family.

"Sir, your order please?" The electronic voice sounds from the other side of the order board. I had completely forgotten that I was in the drive through!

I tell her her my order and pull away from the window. Leaning back in my seat I look into my mirror- is that?

No it can't be.

Turning around in my seat, there she sits. In a crisp white shirt, makeup heavier than usual but still... beautiful. Her hands loose around the steering wheel, wearing rings which aren't mine. She looks so fed up, I wanna know why.

Sitting back in my seat, I- oh shit I need to move up to the next window. Pulling up, I pay for my own order and ask to pay for the car behinds order, which makes the server give me a weird  look.

Pulling up to the next window, I take my order and glance behind me one more time.

I miss her.

Thanking the server, I pull away and drive away from Annastasia.

She asked me to leave her and I respect her.
