He Rejected Me In Public Chapter 8: Unspoken Things
For the next few days things felt strangely normal Noah texted more often he called almost every night he even managed to keep two dinner dates without canceling.To anyone looking from the outside, it would seem like everything was improving but Ava couldn't shake the feeling that something had changed the argument about Ethan and Vanessa had ended quickly yet neither of them had truly addressed it Instead, they had buried it beneath polite conversations and forced smiles pretending everything was fine pretending they weren't drifting apart.On Thursday afternoon, Ava stepped out of a meeting and nearly collided with Ethan in the lobby he laughed this city is really small or you're following me Ava rolled her eyes I was about to say the same thing he placed a hand over his heart dramatically I was worried you'd accuse me first Ava couldn't help laughing.A nearby employee glanced in their direction Ethan lowered his voice "Coffee?" she hesitated not because she didn't want to go but b
He Rejected Me In Public Chapter 7: Jealousy
Noah stared at his phone long after the call ended he was very very sad his grip around the device tightened slightly Ethan Brooks of all people, Ethan Brooks the name refused to leave his mind Noah walked toward the floor-to-ceiling windows of his penthouse office and looked down at the glittering city lights looking so bothered and worried. Ava was allowed to have friends she wasn't doing anything wrong yet the image of her sitting in a café laughing with another man made something unpleasant twist inside his chest his phone buzzed again a message from Ava I just got home goodnight Noah stared at the message for a while Normally, seeing it would have made him smile tonight but it only made him feel worse because she had sent the message after spending her evening with Ethan without replying he tossed the phone onto his desk he felt uncertain and Noah Kingston hated uncertainty the next morning Ava arrived at work feeling surprisingly refreshed the coffee with Ethan had done he
He Rejected Me In Public Chapter 6: Coffee and Consequences
Ava hadn't planned on staying long when Ethan suggested coffee she had imagined a quick conversation before heading home thirty minutes at most.Instead, nearly two hours had passed and somehow she hadn't checked the time once.The café was small and cozy, tucked between a bookstore and a flower shop soft music played in the background while people chatted quietly around them.So let me get this straight, Ethan said, shaking his head you once got locked inside your university library? Ava laughed so hard she nearly spilled her coffee It wasn't my fault "It wasn't!"It was closing time, Ava you don't understand he raised an eyebrow Ava tried to explain as he listened I was studying for an economics exam and I lost track of time Ethan laughed, normally people leave when the lights start going off.Both of them laughed for the first time in weeks, Ava felt completely relaxed no pressure no expectations no awkward silences filled with unanswered questions just conversation simple and eas
He Rejected Me In Public Chapter 5: The Woman In Red
Ava stared at the rain sliding down her apartment window another date canceled another evening spent alone she told herself it didn't matter Noah was busy his company was growing his responsibilities were bigger now she understood that. At least, that's what she kept telling herself her phone buzzed.Mia.Don't tell me you're sitting at home again Ava smiled weakly maybe the reply came immediately I'm coming over an hour later, Mia was sprawled across Ava's couch with a bowl of popcorn.You need a life Ava laughed I have a life."No." Mia pointed at her you have Noah what's wrong with that?""Nothing."Mia softened but your entire world shouldn't revolve around one person Ava looked down at her hands she hated admitting it, but lately she felt exactly like that whenever Noah called, her day improved whenever he canceled plans, her mood dropped somewhere along the way, she had started building her life around him and now he barely seemed to notice the following friday, Noah's company h
He Rejected Me In Public Chapter 4: A Place He Never Noticed
Ava wasn't expecting to enjoy talking to Ethan Brooks after all, he was clearly one of the important guests at the gala his watch probably cost more than her monthly rent yet unlike everyone else in the ballroom, Ethan spoke to her like a normal person no judgment no curiosity no hidden meaning behind his words just conversation."So," Ethan said, leaning against the balcony railing, how do you know Noah? Ava smiled we've been together for five years his eyebrows lifted in shock"Five years?"That's usually how people react anytime I tell them "No, I'm impressed Ethan said.Ava laughed."Why?"Because relationships don't last long these days something about his honesty made her relax they spent the next few minutes talking about work, favorite books, and embarrassing college stories.For the first time that evening, Ava forgot about the whispers inside the ballroom she forgot about the uncomfortable stares she forgot about trying to fit into a world that wasn't hers she simply enjoyed

Ava had changed outfits three times already she stood in front of her bedroom mirror staring at herself then she sighed."No."The navy-blue dress came off a few minutes later, another dress followed."No."Then another still no her best friend Mia, sat cross-legged on the couch watching the entire disaster unfold "You know," Mia said, biting into a cookie, most people just wear clothes. Ava shot her a glare this is important you've said that six times in the last hour "Because it is."Mia rolled her eyes dramatically you're going to a charity gala, not the Oscars Ava looked back at her reflection maybe Mia didn't understand for five years, Noah had rarely invited her into his professional world, most of the time it was just the two of them movie nights coffee dates quiet weekends but tonight was different tonight felt important like a step forward like proof that Noah wasn't hiding her anymore.A smile appeared on her face What if he's finally ready? Mia raised an eyebrow ready for
