Chapter 31 Part I
He didn't follow me.
I kept my head low,
Towards the elevator.
"Lilia?"
A familiar voice called out to me
And by instincts,
I looked up to the voice.
Her eyes widened upon seeing my face.
"What happened?!"
Ashley asked in concern.
I smiled and shook my head.
She sighed,
"Let's go grab a drink after work."
I nodded.

"What?! Your boyfriend cheated on you with his ex?"
She said, pounding her drink on the bar table.
I nodded.
Her brows narrowed,
Showing concern and confusion.
"How long have you known?"
I looked down at my drink.
"About 2 to 3 months."
"And you guys started living together for 6 months?"
Yes,
I lied to her.
But it was a secret, our relationship.
She doesn't know who he is,
Nor our relationship.
She sighed.
"It's okay, you can find better."
I forced a smile,
"Thanks."
I said,
"Anyways, do you have a boyfriend, Ash?"
"No,"
She sighed, taking a sip of her beer.
"But,"
She grinned.
"I have someone I like."
I tilted my head ,
"Who?"
I grinned.
"Hm,"
She thought for a moment,
Deciding if she trusts me.
"Don't tell anyone okay?"
I laughed and nodded.
"It's the President."
And it thumped.

"It's the President."
Her smile widened,
And her eyes shine.
It thumped, my heart.
I coughed out a laugh.
"But I guess it isn't much of a secret."
She said, resting her cheek on the palm of her hand.
"Since half the company admires him."
I didn't say anything.
"He's the whole package; smart, handsome and rich."
She added.
I laughed at her comment.
"Yeah, I guess he is."
She smiled and raised her cup
"Cheers."
I clicked my drink with hers
And the night continued that way;
With small talks and drinks.
"Lilia, are you okay?"
Ashley asked me.
"Yeah,"
I said.
"Call someone to pick you up,
It's late. I live around the corner so I'm fine."
Ashely said,
Her face worried.
I should call someone.
Both for my safety and for her worry to be at ease.
I nod pull my phone out,
Looking through my contacts.
I can't call Shawn.
I dialed a number.
"Hello?"
He asked on the other side.
"Jake,"
I gulped.
"Can you pick me up?"
