as i heard the gunshot i quickly hid under the table . the gun didn't actually hit anyone . grace was frozen . as i opened my eyes the first thing i say was Adrian standing front of me like a protective shield.
i glanced over to grace. she looked emotionally hurt and looked down . Adrian asked me ''are you okay ?''
i quickly stood up and brushed up dust of my my dress and said
''i'm fine and we will be going out''
''are you sure'' asked adrian
''yes'' i quickly answered and took grace's hand
i started walking away to a hotel nearby suddenly she took off the grip of my hands and said
''you like adrian ,dont you?''
''no i don't ,grace''
''how could you even think like that'' i asked
''i see all the signs first he called you a cutiepie , then he helped you and he stood in front of you to protect you from the gun , so now you tell me what am i in your relationship?''
''GRACE SAN DIEGO , listen to me we have nothing going on''
''its impossible to argue with you'' she said and stormed off
as i was walking back to the hotel Adrian saw me and came running . i planned to ignore him or me and grace would never be friends again. as he came near
he said ''are you okay ,no like really? ''
''yes i am okay now please leave me alone''
he said bye and dropped me off . i crashed into the bed as today was long day .my phone was ringing . i looked who it was
phone call mom
ringing
i quickly took the call . i knew my mom would start yelling as soon as i took it because i had left the meeting
[ hello, is this jayla]
''yes mom its me''
[you know how embarressed i was telling everyone that you skipped the meeting . JAYLA EVERHART your getting it from me one day.you are lucky i am your mother or else you will be dead]
''im sorry, okay. by the way you are coming to my birthday right?''
[im sorry hon , i have to go to a buisness trip ]
''seriously, are you kidding me? you won't even come for my birthday''
i angrily cut the call . she hasn't been since 4 years she promised for this she will come .
i was very hungry so i ordered through ubereats and waited. then suddenly i heard the door bell ring
ding dong
i quickly stepped outside to take the food when i noticed the guy seem like somene i've seen before . i asked
''excuse you , have i seen you before''
he looked at me and i noticed he was the intern i met morning . he glanced at me .
and said ''sorry, do i know you''
''no , but we bumped into eachother this morning''
it clicked for him and he said ''oh, you are the boss daughter . nice to meet you maam''
''no need of the formality , may i know what is your name'' i asked hesitantly
''my name is carter'' he looked at his watch and said
''im so sorry , i have to go see you tommorow hopefully''
''yeah byee''i said and closed the door
today was a tiring day . finally time to rest
i ate the food while watching k-drama and slowly fell asleep
