I reached office in no time, luckily I booked the cab while I was changing because I don't want to stay any longer with him, I tried my best not to cry in the cab, soon I typed my resignation letter and took it to the PR department, I don't want to be the problem anymore, luckily the party last night was only for big shots so the people in the company won't know a thing about it, and it looks like Cam has ordered the media not to post anything related to us,
"June," the director came into my cabin, "Yes?"
"Why are you quitting?" She sat down in front of me and said, "Um, personal reasons?" I really can't say everything to her: "Please don't do that." "I know the CEO is someone who's not trustworthy, but after you came, you took over the burden I had on your very first day, so..."
"Director, please understand" I stopped her in mid-sentence: "Okay, let's do this." She got up as she clapped her hands and said, "Just work for one month."
"But I mailed for one week's time period." "June, there's something I can't say to you but please do this." I thought for a while and nodded my head. She looked so happy that she hugged me. I have seen the condition of the company: the CEO is a jerk who only wants nothing but fame; he just wants to beat Cam's company; he does not think about his employees. I have seen Selena (the director) do almost all the work because she doesn't want to cause any more problems for the employees. I have helped her a few times in the past.
As I was thinking, my phone vibrates; it's a message from Cam.
Husband: June, let me explain.
I am not in any mood to listen to him, and when did I even change his name to husband?
As I was thinking this, he sent me a message again.
Husband: Just hear me out once.
I didn't get the chance to change his name when my phone lit up again. This time the message is from Mia,
Mia: June You are coming to the party next week, right?
Me: Yes, I am
Mia: cool, meet us at 8 at our usual place,
Me: k.
I went back to work but couldn't do anything. The thing that happened in the morning still keeps popping into my head. Did he change suddenly just because he got all the information on me so it was clear to him how to make me feel this stupid? I was opening up to him; I almost started liking him, but now I feel numb again. This is why I couldn't do anything right.
When I reached home, he was nowhere to be seen. I took a shower, and after it, I took a book from the shelf and started to read. It's a romantic book that Har wrote; she asked us to review it, and I guess I am the last one again to read it. I skipped dinner because I didn't feel like eating anything, and I spent the whole night reading her book.
It's almost a week since I haven't heard from him; he didn't even text me. I don't know why but I am feeling uneasy. All these time I spend my whole week thinking about why he would break the promise and do a background check on me.
As I was thinking about him while waiting for the elevator, I could hear a few people whispering about someone, but I ignored them because I was thinking. When the elevator came, a few people rushed out like crazy, in that process, someone hit me, and I bumped into someone behind me, "Oh, I am so sorry." I didn't look back and rushed into the elevator, which was packed because no one wanted to leave this one, so it was packed, and someone pushed me to a corner and placed a protective arm around me. I looked up because of the obvious height difference, and I saw him giving his small smile to me,
Police should arrest him for causing a scene because the women who were standing next to us almost fainted, and I rolled my eyes and noticed no one was looking at us now, "What are you doing here, Mr. Watson?" I whisper, "Getting back what's mine" I am not sure to whom he's referring, "best of luck" I gave him my bored smile and left the elevator when it reached my stop, he wanted to come out but got crushed when few people rushed inside, I was working when I got distracted with a knock, "June are you free?" Selena came inside with someone I don't want to see. "No, Selena, I am quite busy." We have become friends while working together, so she asked me not to call her director. "Oh, too bad. I was hoping you could help the CEO," she said. "Wait, who is the CEO?" "Did Mr. Blacksmith finally come by the office?" I tried so hard not to show discomfort on my face,
"Oh, darling, didn't you hear he died in a car crash?" My eyes were wide open when I heard it. "Wait, but how?" "He was with me a few days ago."
"Ahem" Cam distracted us from gossiping, and I can see fear in Selena's face: "Let's talk about him later." "From today onwards, Mr. Watson is our new CEO." It took me a whole minute to process what was going on,
"Please help him with getting familiar with the company." Selena gave me a puppy face, and I couldn't say no to her, so I nodded my head. She hugged me tightly before introducing me to Cam, "Mr. Watson, June is a wonderful employee." She will help you with the company. "You can ask her anything." She left us alone in my cabin. I saved my work and went to the door before he could reach me, "So Mr. Watson, let's start with the team near us." I gave him my professional smile,
I didn't reply to him when even he asked me a question unless it was related to the company. At some point I could see frustration on his face, but I ignored him, and when we came back into my cabin, he shut the door and pinned me to the door, "What the heck are you doing?" I almost yelled, but I kept my voice low because I didn't want to cause a scene,
"Finally now's your eyes on me properly," he said while pinning my hands up over my head, "let go of me." I tried to get free, but he didn't loosen his grip, "June, listen to me." He pulled my face to look at him , "I don't wanna." I rolled my eyes away from his face. He sighed and kissed me on the lips. After a long time, he pulled us apart, "Have you gone crazy?" "Yeah," he kisses my neck, leaving a mark behind.
"This way they won't stare at you," he freed my hand, and I slapped him, "you are fucking unbelievable." I opened the door and pushed him out, and shut the door.
He came by to my cabin few times with something to eat and no matter how hungry I was or that he brought my fav things to eat I pushed him away.
Luckily, he left early to take care of something, so I was happy, but was he doing all of this? Just to fuck me again? He didn't label us, and when he did, he kept his distance, saying he wouldn't fall for me because I was not his type; he sure has some issues with his brain. Well, I do agree that having sex with him was something I had never experienced before. He did everything I wanted that i couldn't ask my ex.
"Hey guys, I am so sorry I am late." I hugged everyone when I met them in the pub. "We were thinking that you wouldn't come." Har pouts, "Oh darling, how can I miss your birthday?" I squeezed her tightly.
Cat brought drinks to our table. "Hey Cat," I smiled at her. They are the only ones, who can make me smile,
We chatted so much and drank so much that it was past midnight. A few groups of guys came by our table a few times, but we ignored them because we had so much to catch up on, but Mia got distracted again, which irritated Har, so she just hit Mia on the shoulder and said, "If you wanna go, just go." Mia kissed Har's cheeks and whispered, "Thanks, babe." Mia left us when she saw a familiar face; one hand taps my shoulder from behind and says, "Is that you, June?" I think I have heard this voice before, but I cannot recall to whom this voice belongs. Everyone's eyes widen in shock.
But before I could turn my head back to look at the person, Mia came to us rushing, "June, come with me." He tries to pull me up from my seat, and before I could take a step, a hand grabbed my wrist, stopping me, "Mr. Watson, can you stop—" I stopped when I saw it wasn't Cam. He tilted his head,
"Sorry, I thought you were someone else. "Can you let go of my hand?" I ask him, "Don't say you have already forgotten me," he says, stepping closer. I couldn't see his face clearly, so I moved closer to him to see his face clearly, and if he hadn't been grabbing me I might have fallen to my knees.
