Annabella POV
We stared for a while, my head full of questions stopped after realizing he was also looking at me. And now my heart is pounding because of the two blue eyes that are staring at me.
“Miss Phillip.” He broke the silence and allowed his glasses.
“You... Mr. Wellington?” let me hesitate, I saw again the sign on his desk, and sure enough, it still says “Willian Wllington”. He was wearing a dark blue suit with a white shirt with a black tie. His black hair was neatly laid back. His flat expression, half surprised or angry made me shrink.
“True.. I'm your boss from now on.” He folded both his hands on the table. “And it seems like our initial meeting is not pleasant, I'm sure we have not officially introduced.”
He stood up slowly and extended his hand to me. I could clearly feel a dangerous aura from him, coupled with his sharp gaze towards me making me feel something strange within me. I extended my hand slowly and returned his post.
“William Wellington.” He said while holding my hand tightly. I could feel her big hand perfectly encircling my small hand. I felt the warmth coming from it.
“N’abell.. um, Annabella Phillip.” Lost my surprise earlier, replaced with a nervousness that suddenly spread.
“Annabella, Bella.” It was like convincing himself.
I felt him give up his hands, and at once I felt something was missing. He looked at me for a while, before sitting back down and being in his original position.
“I hope we can work well in the future, Miss Phillip. Thanks for the documents, you can go back to your room.” He refocused himself on his work and ignored me.
I bowed before I turned around and started walking towards the exit that was right in front of me. Before I got out I heard him call me back.
“Miss Phillip, please give this file in the lobby and get me some items in the warehouse, I've ordered the people who are there to prepare my stuff.”
“Good, sir.”
I took the file on the table and walked back out of the room.
Shortly after I gave the file in the lobby, I immediately walked back to the warehouse that was downstairs. How surprised the requested item will be this much.
I saw there were a few piles of books and also a sizable cardboard box containing berks file that I did not know the contents. I'll make sure it feels sore on my feet with the high heels I wear.
I brought the cardboard and I put some books on it. Get my feet out the door and up the stairs to get to the lobby before I take my feet further up the elevator. I saw the elevator coming down from the top floor, and it took quite some time.
After I got to the top floor, I immediately stepped my foot into the ceo room and I put it in annoyance at the table near Willian's oversized table. I saw him stay focused on his job without seeing me panting with all his stuff.
Go back to the room in front and massage my feet. I opened my shoes and rightly assumed, my feet had formed a red line that I believed would not disappear in an instant, nor with the pain that I would feel for days.
...****************...
The clock showed me time to go home, I stepped my foot into the ceo room and knocked on it as usual before entering.
I did plan to go home early because I wanted to see Clayton who had been difficult to contact for a few days, honestly I miss him now, I miss his warmth when we were both.
I see Mr. Wellington is still struggling with her work. What a beautiful sight, she was in style inspecting the documents plus the sunlight that entered through the window behind her, making her resolute aura even more prominent.
I had permission to go home early without waiting for him and was only responded to by a nod without a second of looking at me.
I turned my steps and left the room to go downstairs and ordered a taxi.
After more than an hour, it finally reached the Clayton apartment building. I planned an impromptu surprise because I missed him so much these last few days. After reaching the top floor, I set my foot toward one of the units I memorized. I opened the door with the first date kiga met.
Clique...
I pushed and got in. The first thing I saw was the view of the guest room and the adjacent kitchen which was quite messy. I stepped back in, and when I wanted to go to the bedroom to look for her, I said I had a small voice. But over time the more I went in and almost to the bedroom, I heard not only the sounds I knew, I even heard some falling and squeaking things.
And the one thing that made me run away and open the door of his room, I heard the voice of a woman who was groaning.
And sure enough, I saw my lover doing an activity that made my eyes hot and unable to move.
I saw that he was just as surprised as I was, surely what he was doing under the covers was my nightmare. And the other thing that really surprised me was my own friend who became my boyfriend's one-night companion.
The thing I thought about how they met, had they been playing behind my back? Was all this time what I did less to show my love for her?
I turned around and walked quickly out of the room. I felt my eyes heating up but not shedding tears, perhaps because your anger was greater
I heard someone swearing that I could ascertain who the owner of the vote was.
“Anna, wait please!”
“U are trully bastard Clayton!” my reply is not less tight.
I slammed the door of his apartment and ran towards the elevator, lucky that the elevator immediately opened and immediately entered and squeezed the 1st floor.
It didn't take long to wait for the elevator to reach the main lamtai, and when the elevator doors opened, I saw Willam Wellington in front of me, we had a look before I cut off contact and turned my eyes away and soon passed. I really don't care how I look, I make sure it's a mess. Red eyes are swollen, hair is not styled and dull.
I'm sorry sir, I'll greet you next time
...****************...
I opened the keys to my apartment and I threw myself on the couch. My eyes began to heat up and I felt my eyes could not hold back any more tears and finally flowed already. I repeated the incident 1 hour ago, I didn't think I'd always believed in him, I thought we believed in each other.
I opened my phone, and it didn't make me feel better, the wallpaper I was using was still a picture of me with him a year ago when we were on vacation together. I continued to open the gallery and have more and more pictures of me with Clayton.
Before long I was looking at my gallery, I had the sound of a doorbell and the sound of someone I knew very well. After a while, the sound still did not stop, I stepped my foot towards the door and saw the screen near the door.
“Anna!! Please open the door, I can explain everything.”
“I know you're inside, I'll wait for you until you're out”
He didn't stop to whine. My eyes are still shedding tears, and my head is really – want to rest now, it's already night, a lot of things happened today.
After a while I saw him still outside, I might finish it now.
I opened the door to my apartment and saw him standing in front of me. I purposely let him see me like this and also put on a hostile look.
And he's not in good shape either, his shabby body in his makeshift clothes, and his puffy eyes make me believe that he might have feelings of guilt? I saw that he was also wearing flip-flops, not his usual shoes.
“Can I come in? We can speak in” he asked fearfully.
I just kept looking at it and started to sneak in from the front door letting him in. Then I closed my door again and heard the sound of “klik” indicating the door was locked again.
We walk to the dinner table and sit down, I put my ass in the chair in front of him, not close and enough with the table in the middle to make a distance between us.
“A.. I do not know where to start.”
“Since when were you together?” I said without being stale.
“we are not together, only we do know each other and are close, not close like what you imagine, we are only friends all this time.”
“Friend?? What kind of friend does*** in his room? The owner of the room already has a lover.
“ I know, I'm sorry, it just happened, I miss you so much, but we almost never met, you and I are too busy by our work.”.
I listened to her explanation that I thought was uninteresting and too visible if anything was covered up.
“What have you been hiding all this time? I don't know why I don't believe your whole explanation.”
“ No, I still love you, I don't want us to part.”
“ I don't know.. Looks like we need some time alone, I can't believe it anymore.” I said looking at his face. To be honest I had a hard time guessing the look on her face, the eyes I used to see and made me fall in love again and again, somehow now feeling alien.
He stood up and tried to get closer to me.
“No, stop there.” I also got up and started walking backwards to get away, but it was too late because he walked quickly and locked me in his arms.
I tried to get away from it but it didn't work, the free energy was many times greater than I am this little one.
His nose started sniffing around my neck and I felt my neck standing up. And also start with a kiss that continues to be******* on my neck.
I felt something unpleasant was going to happen, I pushed her firmly and let our embrace slip.
“ You crazy?!!” I spoke with emotions I could no longer control.
“ You think you can do that with your dirty face?”.
I saw him who initially lowered his head, slowly looking up and looking at me with a face that had no expression.
He began to walk over and cupped my face with one hand and the other hand stroked my hair as if it could calm me down.
“We will get through this, Honey. See you soon.” He said, then he kissed my lips.
“ Out..” I pushed her body towards the door and exited my apartment. Before I close the door, I show it to her by rubbing my mouth with the back of my hand.
“I will never see you again bastard.”
Kututp the door and walk into my room. I closed my door and laid my body there. How can he never tell you that he was good friends with my friend and I saw him going to be intimate, do I have to believe all that?
Back I got up to take a shower and clean the apartment to forget it. The clock showed at 11pm local time and I decided to go to bed.
...****************...
The day went on as usual, I again became an assistant to William Wellington who took care of the entire meeting schedule before there was some sort of party to be held to commemorate William's appointment.
The event will be held this afternoon. So now I'm sitting around waiting for the time to get home. I saw William's room which is still not open.
The clock had been showing for more than 45 minutes and there was no sign of William going out, with the initiative I walked towards his room and when I was about to knock on the door, the door opened and showed William's nose.
I could only smile and slightly subdue my body giving way for my boss to come out.
“ Don't get late later.” He said and then walked to the elevator.
I'll grab my stuff that's still on the table and catch up with Mr. Wellington is waiting for the elevator.
After arriving at the apartment I immediately cleaned myself up and began to apply myself. There are still 2 hours left and only 1 hour left for me to prepare. The most annoying thing when preparing is to choose an outfit for the event, one side I do not want to be too glamorous and want to appear in a simple dress, which is very simple, but one side also I can not only perform in a simple style because it will lose to other guests.
Finally I decided to wear a maroon-colored dress with a short but long model in the arms and sleeveless. I look back at my appearance in front of the mirror and make sure I look beautiful. Who knows, I met my partner there.
It was time for me to leave, I booked a taxi on the ground floor of the apartment building and headed for the hotel that was on the invitation. After arriving at the hotel, many guests were waiting for the elevator in luxurious and elegant clothes. Because of all the guests who were waiting for the elevator, only I had no partner, I could plunge into the middle of the crowd and directly into the elevator without having to wait for the next elevator.
For the ballroom used by the event itself is the top floor of the hotel and there is also a large enough yard in front of it, so there are indoor and oudoor. The level of this hotel building is not high when compared to hotels in the middle of the city, but the scenery is doubtful, will not be less competitive with hotel hotels in the middle of the city.
I walked into the existing ballroom, and I could immediately see my new boss standing in with a group of people in suits and talking.
I tried to enjoy the time in peace and enjoy the drinks before waiting for the right time to see William.
While enjoying the wine in my hand, I accidentally saw at the entrance, the person I was not currently wanting to see coming to this event. Yep, Clayton came in as one of his company representatives, and also a woman next to him that I made sure was his coworker.
