Chapter Eight

I went back to my desk and Ares's office was still the same but nothing was heard, no kind of sexual noise.

The hour passed quickly so I hurried out of the building, walking towards the bus stop I realized that I had left my laptop, luckily my little legs did not bother me and it did not take so long to arrive. I would have quit but I had to catch up on all the pending work.

Going up in the elevator my cell phone starts ringing.

-Hi All, could you go find Mia ?.

-Yes, Emma, ​​we are already at home waiting for you.

-I'm coming, I forgot my laptop at the office and I can't leave it.

-Okay, I'm going to prepare something for a snack, besooss-. Hanging.

The elevator opens its doors and I stepped into the huge floor with many desks.

I go closer to my desk, I take my laptop and when I am about to leave I hear some voices coming from the Ares office. I did not know whether to hide like a spy or approach like an old gossip to see and hear better.

I opted for the latter, I wanted to hear better than they were talking and because I couldn't distinguish whose other male voice was.

Once below the office window I can hear better, luckily the curtains were closed.

Advantage for old gossip.

-Ares you must stop dating women and focus on work, you cannot continue doing what you want and much less, wallow with the fiancée of the vice president of the company!

-Oh father please, that woman wanted me from the moment she saw me. It's not my fault I'm so attractive, and I've been doing my job pretty well, you don't have to worry.

-Stop messing with that Ares woman! You don't know what Edgar would be able to do to you if he found out.

-That old bald man is not going to do anything to me.

-You are impossible Ares, but tell me something, who is the blonde woman who works as your secretary ?.

-Well, you said it well, father, she is my secretary and she does not concern you.

-Actually yes, they told me that they saw you go out with her several times, and ... that she has a beautiful baby. Tell me Ares, are you guys serious or is it for fun? And one more thing, would you take care of that baby that isn't even yours?

My heart at that moment began to beat more and more and more.

"Enough is enough! I won't let you talk about them like that, it's my life father." And if it were for fun, it wouldn't be your business.

I must say that hearing Ares this angry was something new and maybe I don't know, exciting?

-Well, I didn't think Ares had raised you so badly. I want you to stop acting like an immature boy and be a man.

-Act as I want dad, you no longer have power over me, I am an adult.

-Ha !, yes of course my son. Noticeable. Stop seeing your secretary. Or are you in love with her?

-No ... I mean, I don't know, I like it since I started working here.

-Then it's not love Ares, it's desire. Drop it and get yourself a better woman, and not one that is a simple fourth-grade secretary. I'm leaving, I hope you become aware of what I told you.

The man came out of the office and slammed the door so hard I think he made it swing. My heart was beating so fast that I thought I was going to have a heart attack, that man was evil in person. I was about to come out of hiding until I heard Ares speak again:

-Hi yes, I need you to come to my office.

He only said that, I was hesitant to leave quickly or stay. My gossipy old instinct ordered me to stay and I listened. The office door opens again and when I hear his voice I felt a small pang in my chest.

-What's wrong, sweetie? I saw your father come out of here.

-If we had an argument and I need to get this anger out.

-And you know that with me you can get whatever my love is.

And that was the last thing I heard, I looked up and between the curtains I saw Ares kiss Katherine's breasts.

I could not bear to see that repulsive scene and ran as fast as I could.

I don't understand why he was crying, he was always like that and being with me wasn't going to change him.

I couldn't stop crying, on the bus people looked at me like I was crazy, somebody asked me if I was okay. The trip seemed eternal, it seemed that my building was at the end of the world. The tears were as much from anger as from sadness and pain. I didn't have to allow Ares to cause so many things in me, yes, I always hated him, but those weeks we spent together, the times we stayed talking until dawn over a cup of coffee ...

I think I was very naive to think that I was changing him, all those things he told me about him, about his life, they sounded sincere. When I was about to get off the bus because I felt that I was not coming any more, he just stopped and thank the gods he had already arrived. I climbed the steps two at a time, entered and breathed relieved to see that Alanna was not near her, she was going to start asking me questions and end up crying on her legs like when we were children.

I quickly went to the bathroom and tried to make the water wash away my tears, and this sadness that I feel. I go out, I put a little makeup on my eyes, when I open the door Alanna was in my bed with Mia.

-Emma are you okay? You practically ran into the bathroom

"If I'm fine, it's just that I didn't like lunch and I felt like vomiting, you guys, everything okay?" Try to hide it a bit.

"Yes, this little girl was watching TV all day," she said that and Mia looked at her with a wrinkled face as if to say "shut up stupid it was our secret" -. Well not all day, she too she was with her toys -and said that she smiled.

We go to the dining room and start eating the toasts that All prepared. They were delicious, I was going to ask him about Liam but my cell phone just rang, I saw the screen, it was him. I did not attend to him, let it ring.

"Won't you listen?" Alanna asked, surprised to see that she sent Ares sexy to voicemail.

"No, I'm not in the mood for him right now," I said with a fake smile.

-Mmm I see-. He did not believe me.

-I really didn't pass ...- the phone in the living room began to ring, I looked at Alanna and she at me. She was faster than me and ran to the phone, I tried to take her arm but she was more agile and she broke free from my grip. I get to the phone and he answered, shit.

-Hi Ares, what's up? If I just arrived.

I motioned for him to tell him that he had a bad stomach. But I ignore the very bitch.

-Her appointment from her? Can you pick her up in thirty minutes? Yes, I will let her know. Chau Ares, see you.

I saw the time, it was seven, the appointment that we had agreed with Ares was at eight, shit and more shit.

-Alanna Harper, you're dead.

-Don't exaggerate little sister, he sounded very worried about you. She made a scolded puppy face.

"You shouldn't have told him that she was here." I didn't let her answer and I went to my room. I threw myself on the bed and thousands of things went through my head. I was about to close my eyes and fall asleep, when my cell phone vibrates, a message had arrived. What an intense man.

* Message from Ares Sexy *

-Hi Emm, why didn't you tell me that you arrived? I was very worried. I hope you get beautiful for our date. XXO.

He's a damn unhappy. I didn't know whether to answer him or not, my vengeful bitch side wanted to get out urgently but my heartbroken girl side too. The idea of ​​eating ice cream and watching movies all night didn't sound bad.

On the other hand, my bitch side, I wanted to get very sexy, and show Ares that he is not playing games with me.

And that happened, I saw the time for the fifth time, seven thirty, Ares should be here by now.

I went to the closet and started throwing away all the clothes, until I found it. A black pencil skirt and my shiny gray top, I just needed my shoes, a good makeup and voila. Bitch mode: on.

Once with my outfit on, I went into the bathroom and applied a soft red lipstick, applied a fine line of eyeliner on my eyes, smoothed my hair and that's it.

Tonight Ares Johnson will realize the woman he may lose.

Nobody pities Emma Harper.
