A Sweet Mistake

Thirty

🦋🌸🌺

I got to work early, I had to take in deep breaths to calm myself down before I entered my office building, as sweet as my office was, there were wolves ready to tear you apart with their menacing gazes, dating the boss was enough issues and cause of the gossips around the office but I just need to pay no heed to them and focus on my job.

I walked into the building and everyone glanced at me as I walked past them, audible whispers emanated around my office maybe because people did not expect me to come to work or maybe they thought I was fired, well suckers I still work here I mentally told them, as I walked past my colleagues, I started to feel uneasy and the stares became intense, including that of the customers but I didn't stop walking or quiver. I even heard one of the customers say 'isn't that Tommy Bryant's girlfriend' some of them were surprised I walked in alone without Tommy, I wondered if he was already at work or he wasn't.

I got into the elevator and exhaled deeply then turned and met the stares of my co workers inside the elevator and I gave them a small shy smile, then our tech guy moved close to me and hugged me, apart from Lovely he was really a cool guy

"Hey Bett we missed you" He said

"Hey Jared, I missed you too" I replied cheerfully who nodded and I walked out of the elevator. Releasing a large breath in relief

As I walked past various offices, some of them smiled at me and waved at me, just basically people i normally worked with, maybe they were getting used to the fact I and Tommy are together even though we aren't both fake and real. One of the designers named Belle walked up to me and smiled and said

"Hey Betty"

"Hi Belle"I replied offering her my sweetest smile, Belle and I weren't close but we weren't on bad terms either, we joked and laughed sometimes together but that was it, not too personal like Lovely.

"Can you drop this file for Mr B" She said

Shit!!! I was his assistant I had to meet face to face with him everyday, do things for him daily, I wondered if things were going to return to the way they were, booking dinner dates for his past escapades, I'd be torn apart if he does that but I have to prepare myself mentally for it

I hesitated taking the document but Belle dropped it on my hands

"Thanks Betty, glad you're back, Cara was a handful when she filled in for you but she wasn't just, you" She smiled and walked away

Huh...no one told me Cara was the one who filled in for me while I was away, my mind wondered perhaps Cara might be the reason for Tommy's sudden attitude towards me, I wouldn't be surprised, he could ask me to stop being his Assistant, I won't be surprised if he went after Cara, he has a history of assistants I mean look at me...I had to stop thinking of possibilities and work with my reality, whatever Tommy wanted to do wasn't my business anymore he made it clear he had no feelings for me did he? My subconscious asked me but I shoved the question down you'd break hearts I remember what Nana said to me, I shook all those thoughts away and walked to his office but I silently prayed Tommy wasn't around yet.

As I opened the door to his office, I poked my head inside and found it empty and I let out a sigh of relief until I saw his suit jacket hanging on his chair, I almost fainted but then I walked in anyways, looked around and called his name and when there was no response, I carefully placed the files on his table, I looked at the couch and remembered the mistake that cost me almost everything, now I have feelings for a man who doesn't reciprocate it when I could have stayed with the one who did. I walked away from his office before he returned i couldn't bear staying in that office much longer it held so much memories, I wondered how he coped, what he felt when he looked at the couch, was it just a mere couch to him you might not be the only one he had taken there I texted Lovely on my way out
