I think I should give him a chance

The business trip went faster than she had expected, probably because of what she caught him doing on the first night.

They avoided each other for the remaining days. It was so easy because his room was on the 6th floor while hers was on the 5th.

After what she saw on the first night, she cried her eyes out. Was she in love with her boss?

She has begun to like him and, seeing him with another woman was like a sword piercing her heart.

It was so crazy, what was she expecting anyways? He was only flirting with her.

During the flight, they still avoided each other.

Actually, Nora felt she was the only one avoiding him, and from his reactions, it was kinda true.

They both got down from the private plane they took. A driver was already waiting for them with the car.

Nora had to follow him home before going to hers.

The drive was a very quiet and long one, Nora was looking out the window while Jason was staring at her.

Why was she avoiding him? It was a mistake anyways...but they weren't in a serious relationship so he didn't owe her any explanation.

He decided to avoid her also even if it was so hard for him. She has grown to be a part of him, he depended on her. It was so hard for him not to see her try to force a smile on his face.

He knew how tired she was and he wanted to tell her to go home but he couldn't say it. It was like there was a lump in his throat.

They got to the entrance of his house and the door opened "The driver would drop you off"

"But..." she couldn't continue as he had already walked away.

A little smile formed on her lips but when she saw the driver staring at her from the review mirror the smile disappeared.

"He cares about you" The driver commented before starting the ignition.

Nora and Dylan have become very close over the week, he already asked her out and she replied with a positive answer.

Though she was still regretting it as she only did it because she was so angry at what Jason did and wanted to prove that she could also cheat.

"Wait!! Cheat? Nora, what is your problem? He's not your man" She hit her head on the table angrily.

Nora picked up her phone to call Dylan, she wanted to tell him how drunk in anger she was that day.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

A text entered her phone. She checked it and saw "Evening baby doll, How was the flight? I hope it wasn't stressful. I told you to call me when you land but I guess you were tired.

You must be too tired to cook. I would buy dinner on my way" He finished it with a heart emoji.

"Woooooooooooow, he's so cool. I felt so touched" She placed her hands over her mouth. "But I don't love him" She tossed her phone to the bed and lay on the ground thinking about what to do.

Because of the text, she couldn't even say what she wanted to say. It would make her guilty.

"I think I should give him a chance" she muttered before drifting off to sleep.

The long knock on the door made her wake from her deep slumber "Who the heck is that?" she groaned.

Her head was pounding as she had just woken from a hangover. She couldn't sleep or rest because of her so-called boss.

She stood from the ground and went over to the door, unlocking it without caring who was there.

Angel suddenly showed up at her house and as soon as she opened the door, she jumped on her "Sleeping beauty, how was your trip?"

"My head aches so badly, I think I would die this minute. Remember me, Nora Roberts who worked her ass off for money" Nora was being dramatic here.

She laid on the ground pretending like she just said her last words then died.

"Do you have food? Let's eat" Angel smiled curiously. "Did you come here for food? Seriously?" Nora was now annoyed.

"I was only joking..." They were interrupted by the ringing of the doorbell.

Ring! Ring!

Angel shook her head "Whoever is ringing that, doesn't know you too well" Nora also smiled. "Food is here" Nora winked at Angel before going towards the door.

What was that supposed to mean? Why did she wink at me? I know she's up to something.

Dylan walked in and pecked Nora on the cheek "Hey baby" This made Nora's cheeks red and hot.

Angel moved to Nora and whispered "What was that? Who is he? Did you get a boyfriend behind my back?"

To clear the confusion, he went to Angel "I'm Dylan, Nora's boyfriend" He was going to flaunt as much as he could, especially to the people he knew from the past.

He went back to the sitting room and sat on the ground, arranging all the food he brought on the table "Baby I bought pizza"

Angel whispered to her "He is so childish. I would have left but...food is involved"

Yes, that's how much Angel loved food. Probably because she was deprived of it when she was young.
