Chapter 56
My frown deepened at her expressions, why do friends have to be so unbearable? "just like you suggested Sonia, I should get over him and get under someone else. I should give Dan a try, what do you think ?", it was my time now. I smirked doing a quick hair flip .
"You wouldn't do that ", she pinched her nose making a puppy face.
"I wouldn't of course ", I laughed at her face, her possessive nature. She laughed along too, it was not much time when I met her but she already matched my vibe. I liked talking to her and pouring my heart out to her, Gina got busy with Samuel but God gifted me a new bitch.
I turned my open hair into a bun and connected a bobby bin to it so as to set it tight "I've to leave for Werttop with him tomorrow, I don't want to lose control over my feelings and make a joke of myself as he certainly doesn't feel the same about me ", I sighed distressing the atmosphere.
"hey-hey , you'll do fine. I believe in you . You're strong just don't allow him to make you weak ", she stood up as she came towards me "As I said, I do believe in you ", she placed her hand on my shoulder. "Keep me updated, I need every minute details ".
Focus Amanda Focus , I turned my laptop on as I re-read every mail after Sonia left, she was such a sweetheart. I needed a friend in office and I got one to which I am extremely grateful. I suddenly realized that I had to shop for the trip as I lacked fancy clothes, without wasting a second I locked my cabin's door and walked out of the office as I already completed the work.
I walked straight into the mall alone, I read the tag 50% off on one brand. I quickly walked in as it grabbed my attention. Which kind of girl won't like this tag? I pulled out some fancy clothes and haphazardly placed them on my shoulder.
I sided my eyes as I realized the burden I was carrying along so I marched towards the changing room and tried each one of them quickly. There were like 4 clothes which included a shrug, a black knee-length dress, and two jackets. I had some clothes in my closet at my house which I could carry along too so I decided to buy these four only for the five-day trip which included the slaughter of my weekend plans with my girl gang.
My eyes took a halt at the black lingerie, it was lacy with deep embroidery . It looked so beautiful so I decided to buy it at once . But why do I need to buy lingerie, I kept moving as I wasn't really in need of it and I didn't really show my body to anyone so it didn't matter as I was so single. If Gina would've been here she'd definitely purchase it.
"You can buy for yourself, you don't need to shop for the world but yourself ", my heart was commanding me to buy and even I had the urge to so I decided to buy it at once.
Amanda's POV
Picking up my loaded suitcase, I went towards my mom to bid her goodbye "Take care Mom, I hope Sam's home by afternoon. Don't worry much about me. Love you", Mom kissed me on my forehead and gave me clear instructions regarding the trip.
"Don't go roaming alone at the vacant place"
"Stay in a group with your office colleagues"
"Have your meals on time, don't skip any"
I laughed at mom's concern towards me and got inside the taxi which I booked earlier. Reaching upon my office, I guided the taxi driver to pick aside. I paid him the exact change and exited the taxi.
Mr. Reynolds could be seen from far away, his face looked a shade lighter because of the sunlight. His black sunglasses complimented his black blazer, he wore white v necked t-shirt inside his blazer.
I waved at him grinning when his eyes met mine, he didn't react. I pushed my bag towards his car, I'm glad it had wheels beneath so I didn't have to carry the weight because certainly, my stuff weighed more than me.
"Is there no one who'll come along? ", I inquired questioning as I stood facing him, our eyes met, I had to push my head up while we talked as he was taller than me. Not that my height was small.
"Yeah, do you see anyone else ? ", I twirled my eyes around to check upon. There was no one, not even his driver. Is he going to drive? oh no it felt like a long journey already.
I quickly took the back seat of the car after settling my luggage in the trunk. He took the driver's seat in a while as he shifted his sunglasses on the top of his head but he didn't drive, he just settled himself comfortably after attaching the seat belt over his torso. He sat still as he waited for someone.
"Are you waiting for someone? ", I questioned. He gave a quick nod which certainly meant a no.
"Then why aren't you driving? ", I questioned again perplexed.
"Do you certainly consider yourself my boss or do you take me as your driver ? ", he frowned.
"What, wait. Where did that come from ? ", his frown deepened, I didn't really realize that I was seated on the back seat but that certainly doesn't make him look like a driver or maybe it does, he did really believe in that stereotypical condition where bosses sit on the back seat.
"Uh, whatever", I banged and opened the door of the passenger seat. I surrounded my eyes with sunglasses because it was quite sunny plus now I could easily have a quick nap while he drove because I didn't expect him to chit-chat with me during the drive
"What now ? ", he was staring at me.
"Seat belt", he raised his brows, I connected the seat belt around myself. Within moments he started the ride as he completely ignored my presence. I looked at him in between but he kept his focus on the road.
I removed my phone from my clutch and connected the aux wire to it as I didn't want the awkward silence to take over the car. I leaned in to change the song as the wire was a bit small so I placed my phone at the small hollow place there.
As soon as the music concealed my ears, I laughed and clapped when the singer sang my favorite lines. I didn't dare to look at Mr. Reynolds as his scary glares would spoil my trip mood.
"Push and pull like a magnet do ", I shouted as I swayed my hands in the air. Loud music did something to me, it ceased my power to think. I would've jumped like an idiot if I wasn't seated in the car.
"I am in love with your booooooooody ", I increased the volume.
"Miss Waters "
"Oh - I oh-I Oh I Oh -I "
"Miss Waters ", he squealed. I stopped my actions at once as I looked over at his face, anger plastered it.
I was bewildered at his sudden change in mood. He turned the music off as he disconnected the aux wire from my phone. "You can't just do that, I can't sit here for 7 hours straight without any entertainment ", I offended.
