I woke up laying on what felt like a leather couch. As my eyes opened my vision became less and less blurred and I looked around feeling disoriented and tried to figure out where I was. I was in an office but I didn't recognize it. The light from the windows made my head feel like it was in a vice. I looked around only to see Leo Sinclair sitting at what I assume is his desk flipping through paperwork and working, as if he didn't just get me fired. I sat up, touching my head and groaned aloud, by the time I opened my eyes back up he was by my side with worry written across his face leaving me yet again, very confused.
He grabbed my arm to help me sit up on his couch but it didn't matter how good his touch felt, he went too far and he needed to know it. I jerked my arm from him and gave him the deepest glare I could muster.
"How dare you!" I tried to scream but it came out raspy which pissed me off more. "You ruined my life, you fucking monster!" He winced at my words and leaned back slightly before sitting down across from me.
"Lilly please listen its not what you think, I did what I did because I wanted you to work for me instead of GTI" He said smiling as if that was the only way he could get me to work for him, I just looked at him in complete awe He's delusional.
"Are you kidding me? Sinclair Corp was my first choice but it was YOUR asshole of a brother who rejected me in the first place" I screamed at him, tears pouring out of my eyes uncontrollably as I asked: Why couldn't you just act like a fucking human and ask me to work for you like a normal person? I would have said yes before you decided to ruin my life and get me fired!
I stood and he followed, I went to walk out of the office and he grabbed my arm, I turned around and slapped him as hard as I possibly could. As his face turned back towards me I could have sworn his eyes had turned black for a moment, but he blinked and they were normal. His shoulders sagged and he looked hurt, not physically but emotionally, he let go of my arm and turned to walk towards his desk. When he turned back to look at me, his face was expressionless as he spoke: I'm sorry, Lilly. I talked to my brother who agreed that he was an asshole the night he met you and I guess I just assumed that if I asked you, you would reject m...my offer because of him.
"I cant do this, not now" I turned to leave, tears rolling down my flushed cheeks as he yelled out to me: Please Lilly, don't go! I paused momentarily before continuing out the door.
I walked out despite my heart tugging at me to stop and go to him I just couldn't. I had abstained from having a relationship through high school, through college and I spent 5 long years not having a life in order to have perfect grades to get the perfect job just for him to throw it all in the trash in one day, no in one morning. I walked through the building having no idea where I was going. Left and right and left, I turned the corner to slam into Dominick Sinclair, my eyes widened as he smiled: Hi Lilly so you decided to work here? His eyes were so hopeful which made me want to punch him.
I looked at him with disgust and blamed him most of all: YOU! I growled. All of this is your fault. I poked him in the chest and his eyes got big as he took a step back almost intimidated which didn't make sense because I know for a fact he could crush me like a bug, but I went with it all the same as I took a step forward and poked him again: My friend was an ass that night and I pulled you away to save you from her and you misjudged me and said I wouldn't be a good fit for Sinclair Corp. I added air quotes for the last 5 words and said them in a mocking tone and started poking him with each accusation as he took steps back I took steps forward: You are the reason I didn't apply here. You are the reason I went to GTI and You are the reason your stupid brother got me fired. I hate you!
I pushed passed him and kept looking for an elevator when I felt a tap on the shoulder, thinking it was one of the brothers Sinclair I twirled around and threw a punch just to have it caught, to my surprise it was a handsome young man with big blue eyes and an adorable smile that showed off his dimples: Whoa there killer, what did I do to you?
"I'm sorry I thought you were a Sinclair" His eye got huge and his mouth opened and then closed as he let out a small laugh.
"Well I wouldn't want to cross you if you aren't afraid of crossing them, I will say you have a good arm on you though" He smiled which made me smile before asking if he knew where the elevators were. Here started to direct me but could see I would just get lost and decided to just escort me but only a few steps in and I was shoved out of the way by Leo as he grabbed the young man by his neck and lifted him off the ground against the wall and roared: MINE! Leo looked at me and then back at the man who nodded. Leo tossed him to the ground like he was a rag doll and the young man tripped and slid across the floor coughing and saying: I'm sorry, I didn't know.
I ran around the corner and finally found the elevator and hit the lobby button What a fucking Psychopath. Once again just as the doors were closing a Sinclair came running only Dominick actually made it in time to jump in: I'm sorry but please let me explain.
"Well you have until we get to the ground level and them I'm gone" I said with my lips pursed together and a brows raised.
