NEW YORK CITY, PRESENT DAY
I woke up the next morning, reluctant to go to work. After the conversation at the restaurant yesterday, I was unsure how today would go. I didn’t want to face him. Hopefully he will be starting the hiring process today, I also have a few calls myself to make.
I just don’t know how he thinks we could work together after what happened. Does he feel remorse for what happened? He cheated on his fiance with me. I am not the type of girl who sleeps with men who are taken, especially ones who are about to be married.
I shower, dress, and head for work. I looked over the agenda today, no meetings, just paperwork. “Good,” I whispered to myself, “I won’t have to see him, I can work from my desk and email
That morning I got up, showered and dressed as fast as I could. I wanted to get out of the house before Brandon decided to show his face. I really was not in the mood to deal with him.I decided on a beach day. It has been a little while since I have seen the Gulf. I grabbed my packed beach bag and hopped in my car. I purposely left my car here and flew to New York. Why would I need it anyway with all the different transportation systems the city offers, plus I wouldn’t want to drive in that traffic anyway.My car was a blue ‘05 Mustang convertible. I had saved every penny I made throughout high school just so I could buy it. I started the engine and pulled out. It felt so good to be behind the wheel again.The drive to t
I ran. God, I was so embarrassed. No. Was I hurt? I honestly don’t know how I was feeling, all I knew was I had to get out of there. I had taken the elevator to the lobby and when the doors opened I took off. I ran out the door. Once I was outside I took a deep breath. Being in the building felt like the air was being sucked right out of my lungs. The taxis were pulling up along the curbs as people were piling in and out of them. I contemplated for a second on whether or not to jump in one, but decided against it. I needed air. So I began walking. Walking and thinking. Maybe they weren’t the best combinations in the world, but I couldn't go back there, and I really didn’t want to go back to my apa

I turn my attention back to the computer, I am trying to finalize the documents for Nathan about the merger. CW Industries is going to merge with Davis Inc., once Nathan and Alyse marry, to form the Woods-Davis Corporation. As I worked, my mind kept drifting back to Friday night. I can’t believe that happened. I can’t believe I let it happen. I left in the middle of the night and haven't spoken to Nathan since. Maybe that was a good thing. Ally left Sunday morning to head back to Florida. I never mentioned what happened, and she never asked. I don’t know how much time goes by when I hear a knock on my door. I look up to see Nathan standing in the doorway. I froze, he looks gorgeous in his suit and his hair is perfect like always. However, his face looks distraught, almost as if he barely had an
We rode in silence; him never taking his eyes off the road, and me staring out the window. Anger still surged inside me from the incident at the club. Who does he think he is? Commanding me? He is going to learn that I am not one to mess with. When we finally stopped, we were outside of a tall skyscraper. The building must have had around sixty floors if I was to guess. I watch him in confusion as he gets out of the car and walks around to open my door. “Come on Charlotte.” “No, I thought you were taking me home, I want to go home.” “I did, I brought you to my home. I’m not leaving you alone while you are drunk. You can crash here and go home in the morning.”
NEW YORK CITY, PRESENT DAY “Charlotte!” I shook my head and pulled myself out of my thoughts to see Kate staring at me. “You with me now? It seems I had lost you there for a minute.” “Yeah, sorry, I was in my own world for a moment.” “Okay, well I need you in this world if you are going to learn everything before the end of the day, after today you are on your own.” Oh shit, I forgot today was Friday, and Kate’s last day before she leaves for five months. This week flew by fast, I am a little nervous to do this on my own starting Monday. “Sorry, I am here now. You have my full attention.”
