AbbyThis man was really getting to me and it was becoming frustrating. I could not believe him right now that he would not at the very least appreciate me for trying to save his meeting. Was it my fault that a man as wealthy as Lucas Brooke would purchase food without having it delivered to his destination?Anger filled my lungs that as soon as I left his office, I went straight to the washroom to check on my emotions. I was all teary eyed at this point and needed to cool off. So, I stood in front of the big mirror as I tried getting myself all calm and collected. Eventually, I did and made my way out of that place finally.I came out to our section and amidst the prying gazes, I simply walked over to go sit down on my seat. The more I thought about what had happened, the more angry I became.Soon enough, I could see everyone was going out for lunch and I was glad something might just distract me. I would take a walk downstairs and go sit down around the fire exit place just to calm

AbbyOf course he was going to use that line. I mean, he was such a petty bastard who would stop at nothing to make me feel bad."Of course I do learn! I learnt only from this little internship that my father's friend is an ass. I learnt that all he cares about is his egoistic self and even more, I learnt what a slave driver he is!" I yelled at him.Tears were falling from my eyes despite my decision not to ever cry before him. These were tears of anger actually but they might as well be interpreted for something else. Quickly, I started wiping the tears off my eyes as I sniffed over and over again."Are you crying?" He asked me, obviously pretending to care.I scoffed."Like you care, right? You don't need to bother yourself. I'm not crying, okay?" I yelled out the words."Here." He said as he noticed I was still trying to clean the tears with the back of my palms. Seriously, why on earth would it not stop pouring out?I mean, this man was actually beginning to think I was crying be

AbbySomeone really needs to tell me exactly why my heart is beating so fast right now because this man was really getting into my head.I had not expected this turn of events with him and how he had suddenly become so nice and different made me wonder if I was hearing him right.Tentatively, I had followed him through the woods whilst questioning my sanity on whether or not I should turn heels and run. But then, where would I be running to?Right?What if I run into an actual killer who might want to butcher me or something? Would I have the luxury of being able to stare in those pairs of eyes again?What was I even thinking of right now? I should be consoling myself with the fact that he was my father's friend and had charge to look after me. That alone should be a good enough reason for him to want to look after me. He would not want to be caught explaining to my father how I had died, right?Besides, everyone did see me leave with him from the office. Even if all should lie about

Abby It was indeed the time of my life and each passing minute, I could not help but wonder what it would be like if I had this moment with him forever.He was clearly still treating me as his friend's daughter but I could not help but wonder if for a split second, he saw me as a woman. I mean, I for sure did not see him as an uncle but as a man that he was. A very handsome one at that. He radiated everything great.Through our time on the boat, I wanted him to forget himself for even a split moment and hold me. Anything romantic would definitely put my mind at ease but he was just too uptight. Even when he laughed so heartily, he still was being wary around me.I decided to drink. At least to see if the notion of me being drunk would make him momentarily forget. He was just too headstrong and I was just too determined as I set my mind on my goal. Eventually, I asked him to dance with me. The moment he touched me, I was shook within.Why could he not just see it? Was it not obvious t

Abby What was my problem really? I should understand that this man did not care about me but here I was crying myself to stupor over his message.At a point, I just had to straighten up as I could not go on like this indefinitely. I was so exhausted but no way would I bring myself this low.It was at this point that I noticed my phone buzzing. It was my father. Gosh, why did he have to start calling now of all times?I mean, it seemed the best moment because if he had called a couple of hours ago, it would have been when I was on the boat cruise and my phone away from me. Knowing my father, if he calls when I'm not home and I fail to take the call, he would ultimately assume the worst.I stopped crying as I reached over for my handkerchief with which I dried my eyes."Be strong, Abigail." I whispered as I took the call. "Hey, dad.""I was beginning to think you've abandoned me." He teased me and I chuckled."No, dad. I was not close to my phone." I lied and just then, I sniffed when
