My Dreamwalker

Chapter two

Keira nodded and smiled at her coworkers as she made her way to her cabin. Everyone surely must have known about her and Adrian's sudden break up, but no one said anything to her and she was thankful for it. As soon as she set bag on her desk Matt knocked on the glass above her desk.

She looked up thinking it was Adrian, decided to follow her after all. But to see her boss there instead of Adrian made her smile "Matt, good morning."

"Good morning Keira. Looks like you are feeling better." he replied

She tensed, is he talking about her break up with Adrian? Then she remembered her dad called in to inform her boss that she had flu and won't be able to come in for a week.

"Yeah, yeah I am feeling better. Much better actually." she babbled.

If Matt found it suspicious he didn't say anything, instead he asked "Better enough to take another assignment?"

"Yes. Of course."

"Great. Boardroom in ten minutes." Matt said and walked away.

A new assignment. That's what she really needs. More work to keep her mind busy so she won't have time to think about Mr. Ass**ol and Miss. Big boobs.

Thirty minutes later she walked out of the boardroom with a new assignment and a terrible headache.

Adrian argued with Matt the whole time, saying if he is not going to get the assignment then at least he should be able collaborate as she was new and would need as much help as she could get. Thankfully Matt decided it's time for Keira to head her own assignment.

Finally Adrian gave up but that didn't stop him from following her to her cabin. She had ignored him, not wanting to make a scene.

She flipped through the files Matt had given her and found the number of the collector, punched the number in her mobile waited for other party to reply while praying Adrian just get message and go away. No such luck. 

However the collector answered at the fourth ring.

She fixed the appointment for the evening. When she ended the call Adrian spoke "Are you not talking to me?"

Finally! She thought but didn't reply. Instead she pulled up the private collection's information she was going work on.

"So this is how you going to act? God. You're such child Keira."

"I am a child? Was it me who invited a bimbo home while my girlfriend was away?" she couldn't keep quiet any longer. If he wants to have it out then that's what he is going to get.

"Keep your voice down and Rach is not a bimbo." he gritted out

"Rach? Of cause not. Bimbo is too nice for her, she is a boyfriend stealing bitch."

He hissed "You do not insult her. She is a respectable woman."

"A respectable woman doesn't fuck another woman's boyfriend behind their back, in their home, on their couch." she spat back.

Adrian glared at her, when she didn't back down he spoke just three words "Wasn't your home."

A low blow. Now she closed her eyes, took a deep breath then looked up at him and said "Get out."

Adrian blinked as if he couldn't believe what he heard, then he looked around them then said "I just wanted to help you with the new assignment." as if anyone would think it was that simple. Some people are just too dens to be ashamed.

Keira just closed her laptop, slipped it into her bag along with her files, locked her drawer and left.
"I am going for lunch then I have an appointment with a collector. Tell Matt I'll see him tomorrow." she told Matt's assistant on her way out.
