Four

Chapter 4 — Dinner 1

Him again. It's always him. Remind me not to crumble when I see him. It's like in every corner there's a clone of his and somehow, it still affects me the same way it did before.

Barely a week, I've been keeping myself busy ever since I saw him, talked to him, inside the company. I was going to ask what he's doing there or what help he needs but forced myself not to. I keep telling myself that it can't happen anymore. There will be nothing more to us than we used to have. No more sparks, no more sweet stuff, no more kisses, hugs, gifts, or anything you can think of. We're nothing.

I layed in my bed as if I had zero work to do. I'm sure dad will scold me again for slacking but just this once, I want to chill.

Just as I closed my eyes I heard my phone ringing. I sighed before reaching for it from my pocket.

"Hello… CEO of Sterling Fashion speaking"

"Uhh, sir? Your father called. He said that if you aren't available tonight then expect them to be at your office tomorrow"

Right. I forgot about that.

"Well.. Tell them I'll be there in—" I paused to check the time "30 minutes"

"Ok sir" the line ended.

I sighed and stood up.

"Too much for a fucking rest"

—

"Where are they?"

"This way, sir" the young man wearing a cheongsam led me to a small room

There's something wrong with this.

I heard the clicking of the door lock behind me which confirmed my suspicions. I only fucking came for dinner and I'm going to be sexually harassed by a guy who's not even a foot taller than me.

"Hmm.." he moaned out, I tried to keep my puke at bay at how disgusting he is

But if it's.. No. Don't even go there.

"What do you want, *****? Can't calm your urges and just want to lap down great ol' me? You have a pretty good taste though, given that I'm hot as ****.. But.. Sadly, you're not my type" I pushed him away from the door "How cool of you to think that you could lock up a guy who's bigger than you" I skimmed and left

I don't even know where the supposedly dinner is located in this godly-awful place. Who even builds a restaurant on a freaking sea. I don't even know how this shit is floating around.

Since I know that I wouldn't find the fucking room I'm supposed to go to I decided to call my joke of a father.

"Where are you? Your mother is getting sick of waiting for you."

"Then why don't you just tell me where the room is or better yet.. Cancel the freaking dinner. You know damn well that nothing good will happen even if you plan an entire family trip with 'her' fucking around. I wouldn't even try to talk to her if you didn't force me to 'communicate'. Your personality is the reason why mom left us."

"Shut your mouth SON. You should know what will happen to you if you continue this." That made me zip my mouth "Anyway, go to room 403 on the third floor. We're waiting" he said and ended the call

"**** YOU!" I screamed at the phone

I noticed a handful of people looking at me so I exhaled loudly and fixed my suit. Maybe that fucking ***** pulled the trigger. It's rare for me to lose my cool in public.

"Guess I'm going to make it to the headlines again" I sighed and trudged my way to the elevator
