"Have some patience lia, It will be over in just an hour" i muttered to myself as I started my car.One thing I absolutely hate is working after work hours.
Although as the 'manager of the sales and marketing department' I did not have to deliver the contract myself,Sandra Alex is one of most humbled and beautiful models I have worked with in three and half years of my career and she personally requested me to come. After she became 'brand ambassador'of our company "LENNON" soap line the Sales had increased by 200 percent.So, even though I love my personal time, I have no other choice.
"Excuse me, I have an appointment with Miss Sandra, could you please notify her for me?" I told the receptionist in the hotel lobby
"Can I have your name ma'am"She asked
I gave her my business card
"OK ma'am, just a second" said the receptionist as she connected the phone on the other end.
"Sorry for inconvenience Mr.Lennon please give us a moment we will fix it"i overheard other receptionist talking on the phone.it can't be him,he told me he is going to have dinner with his mom today why will he be in an hotel.Out of curiosity I asked him, "Mr. Lennon, that is Rhys Lennon."
"Sorry mam,we can't give the personal information of our visitor" she told me worriedly
"I'm his girlfriend"I insisted
She raised her eyebrows like I can't have a boyfriend with the last name Lennon
"Sorry mam,"she pleaded.
Am I thinking too much? Only his last is not Lennon.
"Mam, Floor-8, Room no.143,Miss Sandra is waiting for you,"the receptionist informed me.
After saying thank you to her I went to meet Sandra.I'll finish this as quickly as possible, then go see Rhys.Don't know why but I fell something is not right.
knocked on the door of Miss Sandra's room, her assistant opened the door.She looked at me like a poor thing.why today everyone is treating me like this.
"Hey baby"Sandra hugged me so tightly like I was her lost treasure
Hello Sandra,How are you" i reciprocated the hug too..
"As fine as wine". She joked,we both laughed.As soon as I sat down, I pulled my contract out of my bag.
"What's the hurry baby, can't we talk for a while?"she asked me looking into my eyes.
"Can I say no?" I asked,oh my goodness her hazelnut green eyes are one in a million, it's so beautiful,I can look into her eyes forever.
"Umm, no you can't do that at all"she grinned holding my hand.
"Okay let's chat,who can so no to a beauty"No I'm not interested in girls,but if Sandra Alex is in front of you,ofcourse,you will get the gay panic.
"Tell me what is the most important thing to you in a relationship?" she asked me, resting her cheek on her hand.
"What happened Sandra why are you asking me questions like this,is everything okay?"i asked worriedly
"Answer me Elia after that I will tell you"she insisted
"Loyalty and trust,I think, is the most basic and important thing in a relationship. If you can't be loyal to your partner that means you don't respect your partner, what's the point of that kind of relationship?And if you don't trust your partner, why are you in a relationship with them?"I answered her questions as short as possible.
After hearing my answer, she looked so worried.
There is definitely something wrong and that has to do with me .Rhys,is he really in this hotel? Sandra saw her here so she is asking me these kinds of questions.Did he come here with someone?
I was trembling with all these thoughts.I mustered up some courage and asked her
"Did u see Rhys here with someone?" She was shocked to hear my question.
"So you know"she squeezed my hand and asked.
so my worst fears came true,I was trying to hold back my tears.How can he do that to me? Rhys of all people.
He transferred to our university in the last year.He told me he fell in love with me the moment he saw me.He chased me whole year,I too fell in love with him after seeing how he tried to make me happy every day.I said yes to him after our graduation, exactly three and and half year .Same time as I am working for 'Lennon World' his dad company.He is director of sales and marketing department and will be the CEO soon.
"I saw him the lobby of the hotel,I thought I should go and say hi, then I saw a girl with him, oh and she works in your company, I have seen her, at first I thought they were here for a meeting, then I saw them holding hands."she explained to me
"Who is she?" No, I'm not going to fight her for a man. Atleast i should know what kind girl can make him cheat on me.
"I don't know her name,for you I told my assistant to follow him,she took a video of them." She asked her assistant to show me the video.
I played the video nervously,they were kissing in hallways like they were so in love.Nicole? Fucking Nicole,that bastard is fucking her.My blood was boiling from anger.
There was so much workload on the sales and marketing department,so Rhys formed another team one and half year ago,and made Nicole manager despite her basic performance.
At that time,I even raised the question: how can she be a manager after that kind of performance?
Someone spread a rumour that I belong to a silver spoon family, so I hate poor people and I'm jealous of her.so,I dropped the topic.
"Sandra,I will go now it's getting late"i hand her the contract
"Elia,are you okay?" She looked worried.I know she genuinely cares about me,we have become close over the years.
"Yeah., don't worry,I can handle it,I'm not that weak." I tried to reassure her, holding back my tears.
I told her to send the video. I have been sitting in my car for half an hour, my hands were shaking, I didn't have the courage to drive.I gathered up my courage and went to a bar, only a good drink can make me forget this kind of pain
"Give me the best you have"I ordered the bartender.
I don't even remember how much I drank, I ordered another one.
A man was sitting next to me for a long time.From time to time he was looking at me.I looked straight into his eyes and asked "Are you interested in me?"
I don't know if it is my best or worst habit,I am actually a very confident person but after drinking I tend to become overconfident.I say whatever comes into my mind.He didn't speak anything,but looked at me even more boldly.
I'm not losing this staring contest, I never have.For a long time we keep looking at each other.
"Gosh you are so fucking handsome"I spoke before I thought,yeah I am drunk.I didn't lie he is so gorgeous,his eyes are striking, deep brown that feels warm and grounded,thick,well groomed eyebrows, strong jawline and high cheekbones,a clean shaved face that highlights his features sharply
And that mole under his full but not overly plump lip could kill millions.he is sitting so I can't tell his height but I know he is tall,is he a model?
He smiled a little after hearing my compliments "As for your question, am I interested in you? Yes,I am.He said bending on his stool towards me.I gasped.
" Can I kiss you?" What did I say,oh my god control yourself lia.But how am I supposed to control when this gorgeous man is flirting with me like this.He was shocked to hear my proposal.
" You can, only if you will not forget it tomorrow"Did he say yes
"Don't worry, I'll remember every single moment" I grabbed his collar and pulled him in a kiss.
