Semua Bab Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!: Bab 41 - Bab 50

“Good morning honey, I got you a gift to celebrate your new promotion.” My mom’s voice comes from my room doorway.It’s Monday, the day I'm going to resume working directly under Nathan. Checking the time on my phone, I see that I still have about twelve minutes before my alarm goes off, but I sit up in bed and stretch luxuriously.“Good morning, Mom.”“I didn’t know that you were still asleep; if not, I would have just dropped it on your chair and left you to sleep.”“It's okay. My alarm will soon go off, anyway. Thank you so much for the gift. You really didn’t have to. You've done more than enough for me already.”“Nonsense! It’s my way of making up for lost time. I enjoy spoiling you with gifts, as I should have done all those lost years. But hey, we said we’ll stop dwelling on the past and only think of the present and future going forward, so let’s do just that.” She finishes, handing me a bag containing the gifts.Inside the bag is a beautiful black tailored blazer of high quali

Nathan’s POV“You’ve been avoiding me all evening, Nathan. Is that any way to treat a good friend?” Lucas asks me, his eyes twinkling.“I actually have indeed. I wanted some peace and quiet, and since you like to talk my ear off like a fishwife, I knew I won't find that peace and quiet in your company.” I reply.At my words, the group of women burst into high-pitched laughter that sends several displeased glances our way, and causes me to feel a little embarrassed. I know for sure that what I said wasn’t that funny.“Oh, well. I’m not offended, at least, not any more. I would like to introduce you to my new friends. Dear friends, this grumpy gentleman is none other than the legendary Nathan Adams, who is the humble CEO of the Adams holdings and conglomerate. I’m sure you must have heard of him.”I watch as the girls’ eyes widen in shock, and renewed interest enters the eyes of the two who were batting their lashes at me earlier.The other three, who previously only had eyes for Lucas,

Diane’s POVTonight is the night I've been waiting for. I have what I've come to term 'my tool' sitting in my purse right now.Even though outwardly, I look calm, inwardly, I am actually nervous, which is something that rarely ever happens, and my palms are sweaty.The breeze out here is refreshing, and it helps to calm my worn nerves a little. I take a moment to breathe in deeply, savoring it.Nathan and I find an empty bench under a tree to sit on, away from all the noise coming from the mansion.I rest my head against his shoulder, heaving a heavy sigh. While he is too polite to move away, I can sense that he is very uncomfortable with this position, so I raise my head and shift a little away from him.“Do you still think about him?” I ask, breaking the silence after some time has passed.There’s no need to elaborate on who I'm talking about. We both know who it is, and I’m mentioning him to set the pace for my plan B, just in case my plan A fails.While I no longer have a deadlin

Nathan’s POVSinging … there’s so much bad singing going on, that worsens the splitting headache that I currently have. Even before I open my eyes, I know already that something isn’t right. The sun is shining into the room through a slit in the blinds, which means I've overslept.Shit! I’m going to be late for work, and I need to complete some tasks before Lucy and I leave for the business trip that she’s going on with me, so I need all the time I can get before then.Yawning, I climb out of bed in haste, but regret that sudden move when a new bolt of pain shoots across my temple. I grit my teeth and wait for it to subside, then I check the time.Crap! It’s almost one in the afternoon! How on earth did I allow myself to sleep for so long? My bed sheet is all tangled, and my bed looks as though a serious fight took place on it.Disjointed images from the previous evening, of me sitting outside with Diane, and later discussing business with someone, flash across my brain as I quickly b

Nathan’s POVGetting into the office premises is kind of a hassle today. The reason is that a bunch of reporters and paparazzi have camped outside the office complex, waiting for a glimpse of Nathan, so that they can bombard him with questions, or do whatever they have in mind.I have never been able to understand how popular people live with the steady invasion of privacy in their lives, and it’s surreal and quite worrisome to think that that may be my reality soon.Nathan hasn’t arrived yet when I get into the office, which is unlike him. However, it is also not a surprise, considering his activities of the previous night.He finally comes in when it is almost two in the afternoon, by which time I wasn’t even expecting him to come to work any longer that day.“Good afternoon, Lucy. I’m sorry, I'm kind of late.” He says as he walks in.“Good afternoon. Nathan. I’m afraid that is the understatement of the century, but of course, it's understandable.” I joke, trying to ease the tension
