Together Forever novel Chapter 13

Ethan's POV

"You are fired. Get out right now." I say in a calm voice staring at the girl, caked up with makeup. She looks at me in disbelief.

"I am so sorry, sir. Please give me another chance." She says in a crying voice.

I blow out a breath and close the shitty presentation file she just brought.

"I don't give second chances. What I say is what I do. So don't make me angrier and just leave."

Saying that I give her a 'look' and that is enough for her. She immediately leaves the office.

Sighing, I put my head in my hands, exhausted. This is the fourth person I fired today. Yes, I fire people every now and then but today it crossed the limits. I'm so fucking tired right now.

I hear the door open and look up to see Matt entering inside with a worried look on his face.

"What happened? A girl got out of here crying, I saw." He asks, settling him down on the chair.

"I fired her," I reply as he shakes his head, disappointingly.

"Reason?"

"She showed me a shit kinda presentation," I say, innocent.

He sighs and rubs his face with his hands.

"What have you started Ethan?" He asks me.

Without answering, I get up and walk towards the window, stuffing my hands into the pockets. I look down at the busy road and let out a huge breath.

Damn

It feels like shit.

So damn shit.

Something is distracting me. I am here but my mind is somewhere else. I have never had distractions in my life. Once I was up to do something, I finished that before anything. And now, I can't even concentrate on my work. For only one sphere second, she doesn't leave my mind.

What's happening, God?

Why can't I stop my mind from thinking of her?

Those enchanting eyes, that heart-melting smile, strawberry smell... Everything is so perfect.

Oh no, I am again thinking of her.

Shit, I am going crazy.

Some changes come in life without any hints. We don't want them, we can't stop them either. Who knew that one deal would change my life like this? Now it feels like it would have been better if I didn't meet her. Change is not in my character but I am changing slowly...by her.

I feel someone's presence behind me and Matt taps on my shoulder causing me to turn around. He gives me the same questioning look he has been giving for some days.

"What?" I ask, my voice is tired.

"Are you thinking of a certain someone?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.6

Why do friends always get to understand everything?

I shake my head, "I am not thinking of anyone."
