NATALIE'S POV

"I'm sorry" I said, taking a step back "I didn't mean to scream at you"

I was still shocked by the fact that he was crying. It was really heartbreaking.

"Would you have said sorry if I was not crying and I had screamed at you?" He asked, his voice laced with sadness.

The honest answer would have been a no because if he was angry and he would have screamed at me I would have been even more angrier. But of course I don't tell him that.

He took my silence as a no and continued

"When we were young we all were really close. You know, me May and June. May was extroverted and June was introverted. So basically if May didn't get what she wanted, she would throw tantrums and make a huge fuss whereas June accepts the fact and goes to her room and cries. My dad took advantage of the fact that June had always listened to him and decided for an arranged marriage. He couldn't force May into it but he knew June would accept.

When my dad told this to June she accepted it and later went to her room to cry. She wanted to be a fashion designer.

I thought she actually wanted to do this because after she said yes I was so behind the wedding. I was so into the preparation that I didn't notice her hesitation when I asked her about anything. I was so horrible."

I went a bit closer to him, as if my presence could confront him. But it didn't and if it did, he didn't show it.

So when she first ran away, I was shocked. I did so much prep for her and I thought she wanted the wedding.

My dad was furious, however. He was furioud by the fact that his very own daughter humiliated him in front of literally the whole world. The marriage was a deal so when June ran away the deal was also broken causing a huge loss for our company.

He asked me to hunt her down. At first I was very enthusiastic about it I was like "hell yeah, I have to find her. She needs to get punished for what she did" but the more I thought about, the more I went to the details. Thinking about her hesitation.

It didn't take me much time to find her. She was actually studying for Fashion Designing, pursuing her ambition. But she seemed so happy there. She had settled down, got friends and was really good at what she was doing so I decided not to tell dad.

My dad was really disappointed in me when I told him that I apparently couldn't find her. I didn't want to ruin her life, not only was she happy there but if she came back, if I brought her back my dad would punish her really badly.

I saw her for the 1st time in three years"

He paused. I knew he wasn't going to continue. I wanted to ask him so many questions but I have no rights to ask him. He was my boss and I was his assistant that's it. But for some reason that thought made me sad. I didn't want our relation to be "just professional". Wait what? No sorry, my mind is a mess. Remember what Ethan said. Don't fall in love with your boss.

But today I got to know something. He is not perfect but that's not it. He accepts the fact that he is not perfect. He understands pain.

I knew I am slowly falling in love with him but I hope I am not the only one falling
