"I Promise"

7

One week later...
~•~
Skylar's POV

Usually I would be excited as it is the beginning of the weekend but I am not. Reason why is because I am drained. All week I have been been roaming around the city for Alex as he was preparing for his engagement announcement. You would think three words 'Were getting married' would be so easy to announce but I was wrong.

Alex needed a suit, his fiance was also being hectic as every dress wasn't perfect. Oh I forgot to mention, I had to help her find a dress which I didn't mind but I wasn't happy either as she is marrying the guy I still love. I also had to make phone calls, cancel and reschedule meetings, and of course make sure my boss's speech was perfect.

Thankfully, I was allowed to invite two person's and I chose Emily and Anna because well I didn't want to go through a whole celebration of my first love marrying his perfect girlfriend.

I am currently in a meeting with Alex as he finalizing a contract with Justin. I was actually glad he took the deal because it was really a good one but apart from that you can literally cut the tension in here.

"Alright just sign here and were good" Alex's lawyer said and Justin signed it. Finally!

"Alright see you next week and we start prepping" Alex said as he shook Justin's hand.

I quickly got up and fixed myself before heading back to my office when Justin came standing next to me and I jumped a little causing both of us to laugh.

"Sorry" he smiled and I just blushed.

"So I guess am going to see you tomorrow at the ball?" he asked as we left the room.

"Yes you will"I said and he smile nodding.

"Ms. Grey let's go" Alex said in stern voice and I looked at Justin apologetically.

"Sorry I have to go"I said walking to meet with Alex.

"Save me a dance" I heard Justin shout and I giggled as Alex and I entered the elevator.

"So is he your date?" Alex asked and I ignored him. I have been ignoring ever since I found out about Stella and the fact that he was my Alex but he can't take a hint. I will only answer professional questions otherwise he has nothing to say to me.

"Is this your antic to just ignore me and answer me when you feel the need to?" He asked and I felt myself get angry.

"Pretty immature I must say"he said and now I am mad.

"What is immature is that you can't get it in your head that I don't have anything else to say unless it's professional or did you forget you kissed me, lead me on only to find out that your engaged"I spat at him and his face softened.

"I didn't mean to but are you mad because of that?" he said and I scoffed.

"Listen to me clearly, I been through way too much to be pitied-" I was cut off by the elevator door opening.

"So just do me a favor and stop trying to talk to me unless it's professional"I said walking off and went straight to my office.

I know I blew up but can you blame me? I am hurting and I still love him. Oh how I wish I didn't have feelings to begin with. There was a knock on my door and it opened to show Serenity and Miguel watching me concerned and I forced a smile.

"Don't need to fake a smile with us sweetie" she said and I sigh.

"I am just drained" I said truthfully.

"How about you take off for the rest of the day and deal with everything in the morning?" Miguel asked and I was about to agree when a reminder popped up on my phone.
