Maybe Ever After

Chapter Twenty-Six

Note to readers.

The whole high school was a flashback, we are moving back to present now, to their adulthood.

*****

End of Flashback!

Nova's POV

I walked into my office with my head trying to figure out how I will deal with the amount of interviews our models have today, I have to ensure they don't talk out of line. I smiled at the bouquet of roses on my table and wondered how Drey knows I love white roses.

I found a note inside the bouquet.

For my very special lady ❤️

You look pretty in that dress doll, have a great day.

Jordan must be out of his damn mind, I must admit that gave me butterflies but there is no way I was going to go running back to him because of just flowers.

I picked it and trashed it in my bin, I don't even want to see it. I collapse into my chair and sighed heavily, Jordan is just do unbelievable.

An email popped on my laptop screen and I was quick to check it.

"Fuck!" I muttered and quickly left for Drey's office, he was busy typing something on his laptop.

"Look who is here, my pretty damsel" I smiled, walking over to his table.

"I got a response from Dadner, they want their shoot in Hawaii" I told him and he nodded, he looked so happy about the news.

"That means you and Jordan will be traveling to Hawaii this weekend" he replied, I don't get it, I know I am supposed to manage our top models but for Christ sake, must it be me?

"No Drey, I don't think that is possible" I told him shaking my head, he looked at me confused.

"Why?" I thought about it for a while what I was going to tell him.

"I'm not going to Hawaii with Jordan"

"What is it with Jordan?" He asked getting up from his seat and walking over to me "You think I haven't noticed? You avoid anything that has to do with Jordan, why?"

"Nothing" I told him firmly but he wasn't satisfied, he knew something was up and there is no way I was going to tell him.

"There is, there is something you are not telling me, what is it to hide from your boyfriend?" He asked raising his voice at me, I scoffed at the mention of boyfriend, when did we start dating?

"Boyfriend? You are not my boyfriend, the fact that we fuck doesn't mean we are dating, hell, I don't even love you!" I yelled back, his face fell and in that instant I realized what I had said, I stuttered and started moving backward.

"I don't mean it that way, I...."

"Don't try sugar-coating it, it can't be done" I tried talking but nothing came out of my mouth, I felt sorry for hurting him that way but it was the truth, I don't love him.

"You will be going to Hawaii with Jordan this weekend Miss. Lionel, prepare for it" he said and walked back to his seat, he just called me Miss. Lionel, I haven't heard him call me that in years.

"Drey, listen...." I tried explaining.

"Don't call me that and leave my office at once" he barked making me shiver, never had he been this hard on anyone!

I laid in my bed wondering how I ended up here, sleeping with my boss was a bad idea to begin with and my mouth just got to have no filter.

I don't even know why Jordan had to appear now, wasn't it enough he hurt me in the past? Now he is wrecking my life totally. I curse the day I met him.

I picked up my phone to call Miley, I was so stupid for pushing away my best friend and now I need her. I rang her up expecting her to pick.

"Hi, it's Miley and I am good, I am quite busy at the moment but you can leave a message after the beep". I sigh.

"Hi Miley, I know I am a stupid friend and I don't deserve you and I am sorry for pushing you away, you know I can't do without you mama, please call me when you see this, I need you badly" I hope she does call.
