We Found the Real Thing....Our LovePart 2 of " Is This the Real Thing"

Chapter Eight

Sanem had taken her tea and made her way to the coffee bar, with all eyes following her. The news had traveled fast. Gulize had met her there, " Sanem, what's going on, Ms.Deren was furious and stormed into her office." She asked her eyes dancing with excitement. She always did love spreading gossip, and this was as good as it gets. "Wow, the lowly delivery girl and the handsome and hunky boss," what more could you ask for." She thought. Sanem shock her head, " There's nothing Gulize, they were talking about the Organic campaign, and I had taken Canbey his tea." She said, trying to hide her amusement. The whole office was a buzz about it.

Sanem continued about her work, as she made the coffee for the morning meeting. Ms. Deren called the meeting, all creatives to the office floor. Can and Deren were going over the events of the day, and what needed to get done before the shoot. Sanem was making her rounds with the tray of coffee, and the one cup of tea for Can. Everyone had their eyes on her, as she circled the room, as well as Can. She had drawn his attention, making it hard for him to concentrate. When she got to him with his tea, she said, " Canbey, your tea." smiling at him. He took the tea, and smiled back,  "Thank you Sanem, it looks delicious," He stated, his eyes locking with hers. Everybody gasped, their eyes were wide, not believing what they were seeing. The electricity between the two was undeniable. Deren shooed her away like a fly, causing Can give her a hard look, " Sanem that's enough, can't you see we are busy." She sniped, making Sanem blush with embarrassment. Can looked at her, his eyes soft and gentle, " I'm never too busy for your tea." He said, giving her a wink. She smiled and glanced at Ms.Deren seeing the smoke rising from her head.

Leila jerked Sanem into her office, " Sister, what is going on, I told you he has a girlfriend, remember." She spouted. Sanem smiled, " Yes he does,...me," She said with confidence. Leila folded her arms, " No Sanem, Polen, his just playing with you." She sniped. Sanem's squinted her eyes, " No Leila, they broke some time back, before he even came here." She announced, her face turning red with anger. " Get your facts right before spreading them, Can and Polen have been apart for a while." She spat, making Leila frown. " I hope your right, sister." She said, " I don't want you to get hurt." So mom and dad are good with you being with your boss." She asked, raising her eyebrows. " They will be, once they meet him." Which will be every soon." She stated. Leila was hesitant, but wanted the best for her sister. She was happy for her, if that was what she wanted. But she was having a hard time believing that Canbey was serious about her little sister.

Sanem and went to the archive room to finish what her and Can had started. She was organizing the files and arranging the supplies, getting prepared for the training of the new writers. A voice startled her, " So where's your boss Sanem, has he already dumped you for someone else." She heard, she jerked around to see Adin standing there. She knew he was there to cause trouble, just by the look on his face. " Adin, what are you doing here," she asked, " You really don't have any business being here."  She told him, not sure what he had in mind. " Oh, Sanem, I think I have every right to come visit the woman that was to be my wife." He snarled. " There's a lot about your new man you don't know, and I thought i should be the one to tell you." He smirked, moving towards Sanem. " Adin, please don't make a scene, just say what you came to say and leave," Sanem said, trying to avoid his advances. She made her way around the table and toward to the door. " Well Sanem, did you know that he has a girlfriend, a very beautiful girlfriend, that he's been with for a long time." They are quite the couple, very handsome together." He spouted handing her his phone to look at the picture on it. Sanem really didn't want to look, but curiosity took over and she reached for the phone.

It was an event in London, they were both dressed on formal wear, smiling with his arm around her. " Very beautiful," she thought, studying his face. He didn't even look like the same man, he looked different, like someone famous and rich. She couldn't take her eyes off of it, her mind was running away with itself, " I don't even know this man, is this the real Can Divit, or is the man upstairs in his office the real Can Divit. Her insecurities hit the top, making her doubt their whole relationship, " They look so happy together, just like we do." She thought. " What made him breakup with her, she's obviously gorgeous, and very sophisticated, not at all like her." Her stomach was churning and she felt sick, the tears were ready to fall, but she wouldn't let Adin see what she felt. She shoved the phone back to him, " So, is this suppose to mean something, I already know about his ex-girlfriend, thank you." She shouted back at him. Adin smiled, " Are you sure that it's an ex- girlfriend, from what I hear, their relationship has been ongoing for years, with a lot of breakups and reconciliation over that time." I think you are one of his pastimes, just a toy to be amused with, until he can return to London and he's real life." He sputtered, his face red with rage. " So when he leaves you and returns to his real life and his real love, if you beg me nicely, I might consider taking you back." That is, if your not damaged goods already." He said through his gritted teeth. Her eyes stung with tears, " Get out Adin, just leave," she cried, " And don't ever think I would lower myself to beg you for anything, unlike you I have my pride." She stared at him, holding on to the last shred of dignity she had, refusing to shed the river of tears that waited there in her eyes.

Adin smiled, knowing he had just planted the seed of doubt in her head. That was his plan, make her feel what he had felt. Humiliated, hurt, deceived, all of these things she had done to him, but she made his heart skip a beat and he hated it. He turn to leave, " Oh, by the way, did Can Divit tell you about this woman or did you have to find out from someone else?" He asked,             "Never mind, I already know the answer." He smirked, he turned and walked out. She was frozen there for minutes, staring at the door with the picture etched in her mind. His words were deafening to her ears, as they stayed there playing over and over. What a terrible man he was, but her head was full of what he said.

" Was he right,......was she just a toy for him to play with"......

The tears finally came, as she ran upstairs and grabbed her bag from her closet. All the eyes were staring at her, but she didn't look....

She just ran.....
