PLEASE READ THE NOTE AT THE BEGINNING FIR...
"You should go with Hayden, I will call him." he sniffs, walking away and slamming the bathroom door making me jump.
I leave his room and walk to the elevator and feel someone walk up behind me.
"Leaving your ride behind?" I turn around to see Hayden.
"Its fine Hayden, really I can take a cab." I say, willing my voice to stop cracking.
"I cant do that, Hades was very clear" he says holding the the elevator open. I sigh, getting in and he does after me. Hades?
We get into his car and he starts driving. I just look out my window the whole time. After a while I hear his hesitant tone sound.
"Are you uh" he stops. I look at him and he looks completely uncomfortable. I smile a little.
"Yes Im okay Hayden, thank you for caring." I smile at him. He gives the funniest confused look making me laugh so hard that I swear I saw him crack a smile.
"So," I start making him raise an eyebrow. "Hades?" I ask making him shrug.
"Its what most people in the Mafia call him. Zia doesnt like it used at home, but i just got in a habit." He explains.
"Probably cuz you dont speak much" I shrug. "I mean this is the most youve spoken to me, in like ever" I say. He looks over smirking.
"Are you a little sad about that sweetheart" he husks in his deep voice. But it just makes me laugh. "Its bruises my ego that I cant make you blush like Hades" he smirks wider when i turn red. "Wow just the name huh?" He husks.
"Will you stop!?" I laugh loudly making him shake his head. I look out the window smiling the rest of the way.

Its a day later and I am fully recovered from my hangover. I am not however fully recovered from my talk with Hunter. Did he mean all of the stuff he said? I can't believe he actually said those words. I half think I imagined them. But the memory is still fresh and replaying in my head like a broken tape.
I sigh and crack my neck sitting back in my chair. I open my laptop and stare at my reflection on the black screen. I look tired but my makeup is dong a good job at making me look presentable I guess.
My outfit is a dark blue dress that goes past my knees with light blue heels. I only have one meeting left for the day but Im really tired and I honestly just wanna go home and eat something. I always skip eating when I feel sick but I always feel worse later.

My thoughts are interrupted when my intercom buzzes and I so I answer it.
"Yes Ashlyn?" I ask into it.
"Hi Ms. Carter, I just got word from Lauren, you 4 o'clock meeting got delayed they're asking if we can reschedule for later this week?" She asks. I sigh both releived and a little agitate.
"Uh yeah I guess that's okay, just make sure you dont overbook a day"
"Ofcourse Ms. Carter." I hear the clcking of her keyboard then her hum. "Alright done and I have a Mr. Daniel Andrews waiting for you here, should I bring him in?" She asks. Daniel? Why is he here?
"Uhm yea, yes please." I say, my eyebrows still furrowed in confusion. Why didnt he just call?
My door opens and he steps in smiling lightly I smile back and look at Ashlyn whos still holding the door.
"I was wondering if I can take my break now Ms. Carter?" She asks. My hearts dips a little.
"Sure is Lauren..?"
"She's working from home ma'am" She nods. I sigh internally. I cant ask her not to take a break because I dont want to be alone on the floor.
"Uh sure thankyou Ash, enjoy" She smiles and leaves.
"Soo, you didnt call me back yesterday, is everything ok?" Daniel suddenly asks.
"What? I didnt get a call from you?" I ask grabbing my phone to check the log. I come across it but somethingelse catches my eye. Its an outgoing missed call, made to a contact named Hunter. When did we exchange numbers? "Uh yea its here but I dont know how-"
"Alrigt listen here Arabella I know what youre doing here and frankly, I dont care for it. Im a smart guy and if you cant fucking be with me like a normal adult then say that right now. Ive been acting patient and like a cunt so you would trust me but you are such a fucking prude!" He bursts taking me completely by surprise.
"Daniel!" I say in a surprised tone.
"What!? What Arabella, god that fucking name I should've known you were some dumb prude" He says exhasperatedly. I feel very uncomfortable at this point and just overall disgusted. He starts slowly walking towards me making me scared out of my mind. Without thinking, I dial Hunters number but my phone drops onto my desk as I stumble backwards.
