Their End, My Beginning novel Chapter 27

The moment I reached home I parked my car and got into my house with a loud bang and went into fridge to search for something strong to drink and I got vodka and poured some into the wine glass and took it one sip causing me to hold my throat as it was too strong and I coughed few timed before I got okay. Now that was what I wanted because it gave me some relief from the tension I felt in the lift.

I went and sat on the couch with the vodka in my hand and thought of what happened.

“Katy, I am ho- Babe what happened.” Mandy asked taking the bottle out of my hand much to my annoyance and she goes to kitchen to hand me water.

“Drink this and tell me what happened.” She said more like ordered me to drink water and comforted me to speak.

“I saw Ryder.” I said leaning back closing my eyes.

“Well, that was obvious since you are now working on his design in his company.”

“Everything was okay till we got into the same lift.”

“Wait, doesn’t he have a private lift I have heard that most of the billionaires do have their own elevator in their office? I think that he too must have one.”

“You are not wrong he do have his own elevator though I don’t know why he got into the same elevator as me.”

“Maybe I know the reason why-”

“Don’t you dare say that out aloud.” I interrupted her overexcited voice over the fact that maybe the reason must be to be with me. “I know you want us to be together like before and I do appreciate your concerns, but you must not forget the fact that he is not that old Ryder anymore. Anyway, I am going off to sleep.” I said, feeling sleepy.

“At least, eat before you sleep.” She said before I could say no I walked straight to kitchen. For me, no matter what mood I am, I always eat my food at the right time. To be very honest, sometimes eating helps me to get out of sadness or stress faster than alcohol does.

Mandy chuckles seeing me walk to kitchen to make a quick sandwich with just jam. “I always wonder how you don’t gain weight.””

“I work out.” I said with food in my food.

“But you hardly go to gym.”

“That’s my secret. Don’t ask me questions that I ask myself every day,” I say while eating, to which she chuckles and shakes her head and goes to her bedroom to change.
