Chapter 8

🦋They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.🦋

"Do you think it's a good idea for you to walk home by yourself, in the dark," he asked with his usual scowl on his face.

You didn't bother to argue so you hesitantly got in.

"And also... I can't go home," you said softly.

"Your house keys are attached to your car keys," he said and you nodded. He sighed and cranked the car up.

"You can stay at mines for tonight," he mumbled.

You sat in the car anxiously tapping your feet and had your thumbnail between your teeth. This felt like a complicated situation. Well on your end it was.

'Nothing good can come out of this,' you thought.

But nothing had to come out of this. The only thing you were planning on doing was, just go straight to sleep on the couch. That's all. Early in the morning
you will leave as quickly as you can.

Whatever excuse that could pop up into your head, that's what you were going to use to get out of the situation that you were in.

You looked at Ray in the corner of your eye to see that he had his eyes kept on the road with a deep scowl. It was deeper than usual.

And you knew why.

This was your fault. That you were the cause of his and Anna's break up. You were her friend, well that's what you thought. Well never mind friend. The both of you weren't that close but you considered her an associate.

You've been working at the company for a couple of months now and you warmed up to everyone, well not everyone, but you got used to everyone.

And all the time you've been working for Ray, this is the closest the both of you have got. You could consider him a friend, right?

No, that's unprofessional. Just like he said yesterday night.

You rolled your eyes lightly at that cringed scene.

He was just being kind is all.

You arrived at a huge apartment building that looked like it was only for rich people.

"This place is huge," you mumbled. The male beside you heard your comment but didn't say anything as he pulled into the parking lot, going into his personal parking space.

He took out his keys from the engine, unlocked the doors, and got out. Waiting for you to join him. You grabbed your things hesitantly and followed behind him.

Both of you walked through the lobby, being greeted by the workers who worked there. Someone took notice of you and raised an eyebrow. You looked away from them and avoided eye contact, speeding up trying to hide behind Ray.

He's probably thinking that you were Ray's one-night girls, or probably it was the fact that he never seen you before.

Ray noticed you trying to hide behind him and grabbed you by the wrist bringing you beside him. "There's nothing to be worried about. Stop acting like a scared kid," he mumbled.

You nodded and followed him to the elevator and got in. He clicked in his level, making the doors closed and go up.

You stood uncomfortably by him and looked at the floor.

Not too long later both of you were at his door. He unlocked it and stepped out of the way, letting you go in first. His apartment was just like how you expected it. It was indeed luxurious.
