My Arch Nemesis in my Bed Chapter 117
I woke up to Jessica practically pounding on my door, which was not how I wanted to start my Saturday morning after crying myself to sleep and waking up with the kind of headache that felt like someone was using my skull as a drum set.“Lily, there’s someone at the door for you,” Jessica called through the door.I buried my face deeper into my pillow because whoever it was could come back later when I felt like being a functional human being instead of a disaster wrapped in yesterday’s clothes.“Lily, seriously, you need to get out here,” Jessica said again, this time with more urgency in her voice. “He says it’s important.”He. That narrowed down the possibilities to people I definitely didn’t want to see right now, considering the only guys who knew where I lived were either my friends or people I was actively trying to avoid.I dragged myself out of bed and shuffled to the door, opening it just enough to peer out at Jessica with what I was sure were spectacular bedhead and probably

“Let me see,” he said again, taking a step toward me.I backed away instinctively until I hit the edge of his desk. “Don’t.”But he kept moving closer anyway, “The only reason I came here tonight,” I started, my voice shaking despite every effort to sound calm and professional, “was to tell you to stop.”He paused, tilting his head slightly.“Stop making things difficult for me in front of the team. Stop questioning everything I do. Stop treating me like I’m some incompetent child who doesn’t deserve to be there.” The words were coming out faster now. “Aren’t you too old for this kind of petty revenge and childhood nonsense? We’re not kids anymore, Luca. We’re supposed to be adults.”“Lily—”“I get that you hate me,” I continued, cutting him off because I’m not interested in hearing whatever excuse he was about to offer. “I get that seeing me again brought up all these negative feelings you have about me. But I don’t deserve to suffer for it.”My throat was getting tight, the words s

The random security who showed up looking nervous and taking one look at the scene in front of him. Maya was advancing me like she was ready to tear me apart, me backed up against the desk with what I was pretty sure was going to be a spectacular bruise across my cheek,“Everything okay in here?” he asked, taking in the mess we’d made.Maya switched mode instantly. “Nothing serious.”The guard looked uncertain, but Maya gave him one of those smiles that said “I can get you fired” and he basically melted.“Oh, okay then. Just keep it down, yeah?”“There goes your rescue,” she said sweetly at the door. “Looks like it’s just you and me now.“She was momentarily distracted so I realized this might be my only chance to do something other than stand there and cower under the desk like a helpless victim waiting for whatever she was planning to do to me next.The rage that had been building all week, all the humiliation and frustration and hurt suddenly transformed into one cl

By six PM, the building was basically a ghost town. Most of the undergraduate students had cleared out hours ago, and even the graduate students who usually stayed until the building locked up had left.Which was perfect for what I needed to do, because this conversation was going to be awkward enough without an audience of my classmates.I spent about ten minutes pacing around the empty hallway outside the temporary office suite that Blackthorne Pharmaceuticals had set up on the fifth floor, trying to build up enough courage to actually knock on the door.The plan was simple: walk in there, tell Luca that whatever issues he had with me needed to stay in the past, and that his behavior was completely out of line. Keep it short, keep it professional, and then get out.I knocked on the door with what I hoped sounded like confident authority.“Come in,” came a voice from inside, except it definitely wasn’t Luca’s voice.The door opened to reveal Maya sitting behind a mahogany desk. She w

I didn’t go to lab on Thursday.I know it was probably the most immature thing I could have done under the circumstances, but after Wednesday I needed at least twenty-four hours where I didn’t have to pretend that being humiliated was something I could handle with grace.Instead, I spent the entire day in my dorm room, alternating between stress-eating Jessica’s emergency stash of chocolate catching up on coursework for my other classes and trying to convince myself that maybe if I ignored the collaboration for twenty-four hours, it would somehow resolve itself or disappear entirely.Every time my phone buzzed with what was probably a message from Dr. Dooley asking where I was, I shoved it under my pillow and pretended it didn’t exist.Jessica kept asking if I was sick, and I kept telling her I was just tired and I need a mental health day, which wasn’t entirely a lie. My mental health was definitely suffering. I was tired of being treated like an incompetent child by someone who used

The rest of that first day felt like being slowly dissected by someone who knew exactly where to make each cut for maximum damage. After my spectacular public failure with the blood samples, Luca spent another 10 minutes before leaving.At least when we were kids and he thought I was being stupid, he’d actually tell me I was being stupid.By the time the they finally left, I felt like I’d been put through a blender set on “psychological torture.” Maya had spent the entire afternoon making little comments about my so called incompetency level.“Well, that was intense,” Madison said once their fancy cars disappeared from the parking lot. “Mr. Blackthorne seems really… serious about this collaboration.”That was one way to put it. Another way would be to say he was a sadistic asshole who apparently had nothing better to do than ruin my life, but Madison didn’t need my personal commentary.I made some noncommittal sound and started cleaning up my work station“Are you alright, Lily?” Dr.
