Kristen's pov
Oh my God I'm so getting fired. I got drunk in front of the CEO of KING's enterprises. How the did I not recognize him??? What is wrong with me? Does he recognize me?? I'm so screwed.
"Uh miss Jones?? Are you okay?? Mr Rodriguez asked
I cleared my throat " everything is fine sir"
Mr King walked up to the middle of the room.
" I'm sure y'all know who I am, I'm the CEO of Kings enterprises and I have heard about all the good works you have done and I'm proud of you. I hope we won't have issues working together. Now, I don't tolerate laziness or sluggishness. I don't want any issues with any of our employees so let's work in harmony,do we all understand?"
"Yes sir "
" good then, now that I have moved back here I'm going to be around a lot to make sure their would be less problems here. I'm looking forward to working with you all. Have a good day y'all "
He didn't even look at me. From the beginning of this speech till the end he didn't look my way. Maybe he doesn't remember me, if he doesn't then I'm glad. I just got to my office when I received another call from my dad.
" hey dad"
" pumpkin"
" let me guess, Diana already called to tell you what happened?"
" what are you talking about??" He seemed confused.
" oh I thought you knew, you called me alot yesterday and... I "
" yeah we haven't spoken in a while and I understand its because of the wedding preparations and work. I was even thinking I could come over and help my baby prepare. I mean my only daughter is getting married i want to b..."
" there's no wedding dad" I try to contain myself because I'm at work and I wouldn't want people hear me cry.
" what?..... What do you mean pumpkin??"
" Diana and Ace have been cheating on me dad, my bestie and my fiance. Everything is over dad."
" oh dear"
I didn't want to cry but I can't help it
" it's over dad, you can tell mom for me, no wedding for me, I'm so glad I found out before the wedding"
" baby, I know you feel, sometimes things don't go the way we plan. I'm 100% sure things turned out this way because you have something greater waiting for you. Ace doesn't deserve you, when I see that mother fucker im going to murder him for hurting my baby " my dad always had a way of putting a smile on my face. He's always been there for me.
" dad, you can't say mother fucker" I chuckled
" yes I can "
" thanks dad, you are the best "
" you would be okay right ??"
I would be okay right?? I have known them most of my life, they are the only friends I have and now I have lost them. No, they have lost me.
" yes dad, I'll be fine" I would come over during the weekend to check on you, I love you dad"
" I love you too sweetie ".
I sighed and cleaned my tears.
You have to get yourself together girl, crying wouldn't change what he did to you.
I got a call from my wedding planner, I had to tell her the wedding had been canceled and I apologized for wasting time, a cried a little more and decided to go to the bathroom. I redid my make-up, and walked out, I need coffee . I went down the elevator to the cafeteria, grabbed a coffee and walked back to the building. As I got out of the elevator, I bumped into someone and I poured coffee on them.
White shirt, fuck.
I took out a handkerchief and clean his clothes. " I'm so sorry I didn't mean to do this ,I wasn't thinking and I...."
" it's okay " that voice again " hey"
" Mr. king, I'm sorry I didn't mean to, I was in a hurry "
" it's fine, you were really drunk yesterday, you feel a lot better yeah??'
He had a concerned look on his face.
I can't believe he remembered. Oh my God i was hoping he didn't remember.
" I'm so sorry about yesterday sir, I didn't know who you were, I didn't mean to trouble you and I also didn't mean to tell you my personal problems, it was all a mistake. Please forgive me and don't fire me, I only have this job now please you have to...
" and then laughter
The actual fuck?
" are you always this way? Look, I understand you were drink yesterday and you were also hurt and talking about it makes it feel better so it's all fine" he tucked his hands in his pockets. " since that's all, you should get back to work, and if you feel you need time off don't hesitate to."
" thank you sir " I walked away from him to my office. I checked my phone and I saw a message from Diana
Kris, I'm so sorry about what happened. It was all a mistake I promise, please reply my messages I need to talk to you its really important. Please call me let's talk.
Mistake???
Did she fucking say mistake??
Well screw her and him. I need fresh air, I need to stay away from both of them. I need to get my mind of both of them. I just need to concentrate on work then go home to rest.

It's 9pm already, and I'm just getting home. I switched on the light and met the two people I'm supposed to hate right now. I wasn't expecting them but then I remembered that Diana has a spare key because I trusted her.
" I want the both of you out now and on your way out drop my key."
" kris list...."
" you have no fucking right to call me kris ,Diana. Get the fuck out of my house, both of you " I yelled
