The Bet

Chapter 3

"You can't get away from me again!" He pulled me to his office. I kept trying to pull myself away from him.

"Let me go!" I hissed.

"Do you think you can runaway again? 5 years, Mandy! God damn it!" He was pissed. I knew it from his tone. He picked me up by his shoulder and carried me to his office. He completely ignored all the stares from his employee. As soon as he put me down, I tried to runaway but he caught me again.

He locked his office and put the key into his pocket.

"Where do you think you're going?" He locked his office and put the key into his pocket. He asked as I tried to open the door. It's glass and I'm sure I can knock it off.

"Are you crazy?! Let me out!" I bursted angrily but he walked back to his chair. I sat in front of him and looked straight into his brown eyes. I stood up and looked out the window to see the beautiful evening view.

"Mandy." He stood beside me.

"Where were you all this time?" He asked in a soft tone. My phone rang and I quickly grabbed it from my bag. It's Jay.

"Hello." I answered.

"Where are you?" He asked but before I can answer, Jordan grabbed my phone.

"Jay, hey." He greeted.

"Yeah. It's been a long time, I kinda forgot where I put the file. I'll search for it now, I apologize." Now, he's good at lying?

"Yeah, sure. We need to talk, dude. Do you have time tomorrow? Okay! Thanks man." He ended the call and gave my phone back.

"Open the door, I need to go back to my boss." I said coldly and he raised his eyebrows.

"Answer my question and I'll let you go." He said as he turned his body towards the window.

"Where were you? Why did you disappear after graduation?"

"London and I have my reasons." I said and he let out a sarcastic chuckle.

"Why didn't you contact me?" He asked.

"Contact you for?" I asked looked at him confused.

"Ah.. did you forget that you're my girlfriend?" He did not just say that when he only saw me as a bet.

"Girlfriend? Yeah right." I looked at him coldly.

"You left without words, no calls, no messages. The last thing I remember was that we were supposed to go on a date that night." He said and I let out a sarcastic laugh.

"Oh god! I can't believe you remember that! I forgot that we have a date that night." I said and he looked at me suspiciously.

"I was looking for you!" He bursted but I ignored him. Jordan and his game.

"Can you let me go now? I have a lot of work and I don't want to get scold." I said as I grabbed my bag.

"You won't get scold."

"He'll fire me! Don't be selfish!" I hissed.

"Selfish? You're the one who is selfish! You act like nothing happened, leave me hanging for 5 years!" He bursted.

"Open the door!" I said.

"Work for me." He said and I scowled.

"No."

"I don't want to lose you again." I wanted to laugh at him.

"You already did." I said coldly.

"Work for me when I ask you nicely, Mandy." He said and I turned to him.

"I don't want to have any business with you, I came here to get Jay's file, not to have a conversation with you." I bursted.

"Too bad I tore the file, you have to wait for it to be made again." I walked to him closing the gap between us and I looked into his eyes.

"You want this?" He grabbed his keys from his pocket and I tried to reach it but he's too tall. I punched his stomach and took the keys.

"Hey!" I ran to the door and unlocked it. I grabbed my bag and ran out but Jordan caught me.

"Do you want me to punch you again?" I asked.

"I've been away from you for 5 years, why are you avoiding me? Did I do something wrong?" He asked and I wanted to smack his head so bad. I opened the door and looked at him one last time.

"I don't want to see you again." I said and I walked away. I waited for the lift but it's taking too long. I went down with the stairs.

I need to get him out of my system again. Can't believe that he appeared again. I can't even hold back my tears. I grabbed my phone and decided to call Yasmine and Claire.

"Hey." Yasmine picked up.

"Yasmine.."

"What? What happened?"

"I met him."
