We're picking fights, we're fully grown

How come we get so immature when we're alone?

I'm slamming the door but I'm staying
I make up my mind, then I change it
It's you that I want when we're breaking
Every time I tell you that we're done, I'm faking
I'm losing the game that I'm playing
Keep pulling me close 'cause I'm caving
Don't forget the words that I'm saying
Every time I tell you that we're done, I'm faking

We go ego to ego, starting fires
Saying shit we don't mean, I mean we're liars
But the truth is we're messed up and we like it                 -I'm Fakin by Sabrina Carpenter

Aubrey's POV

Why is there so much light in this room? I slowly opened my eyes. Wait this is not my room. I panicked and looked around and saw that the bed was empty.

Okay, I didn't sleep with anyone. I am wearing my clothes. Wait. I am in Xavier's house. 

I looked at the clock and saw that it was just 7:20 a.m.  WAIT. 7:20 AM????!!!! I have to reach the office in 30 minutes!! I quickly rushed inside the bathroom and took a shower. I wrapped the towel around my body and went inside the closet and picked a black blazer and put on a black belt and paired it with my black sunglass and my little clutch. I decided to go with my transparent crystal heels. I put on my nude lipstick and waved my hair a little from the bottom.

I kept my phone inside my clutch and took my laptop and glanced at the clock again. 7:45 am. Great now I have to reach my office in 15 minutes. Why do I take long showers? I walked out of the room and I paused. Wait. I am forgetting something. My car keys. Wait MY BABY IS NOT HERE!!! HOW THE HECK AM I SUPPOSE TO GO TO MY WORK!!!

I called Hailee as I descended down the stairs

"Hailee I want my white Aventador SVJ here." "Where exactly ma'am?"  "I am at.." Wait my dumb self doesn't know where this huge ass mansion of that asshole is. I mentally groaned.

"Track my phone I don't know the exact location, but I need my car." "Okay, ma'am."

I looked in front of me to Xavier in his Armani suit, his back facing me. Why does he look hot even from behind?

He was swearing something furiously in Italian on his phone. I took the last step on the marble floor making sure that he knows that I am here. He ended the call right away.

He looked at me and I looked at him. I looked at his eyes, he was obviously checking me out. Well, I am not going to tell him that because even my eyes may or may not have looked up and won his body.

He was wearing a three-piece suit with no tie. 

"Are you ready? Let's go." He said as he finally looked at my face and not my legs.

"No thank you. My car is going to come." Maybe. He looked at me and HE JUST SNORTED!!!!!!!!! What the heck is his problem? And why does his snort sound sexy? AUBREY SERIOUSLY?

"Excuse me?" "Do you know where this house is?" No. "Yes," I said confidently.  

"No one is allowed in this property unless I allow them. If anyone even walks within 1km of the radius near this property the guards are told to shoot them or arrest them" Shoot them? What is the king of the world?

" I would rather walk and reach my office than sit in your car again." What? Don't blame me. His car is the perfect car in the world. I hate Leo for not giving me that car. But he is just ordering me around since yesterday.

"Suit yourself." He said and walked out of the house. HE IS SERIOUSLY GOING TO LEAVE ME HERE ALL ALONE?

I am being too dramatic. I heard my phone ring.

"Thank god Hailee. Please tell my car is arriving in 10 seconds." "Uhmm. Ma'am, actually I am not able to track your phone." I was ready to burst o her but then she continued, "Then I asked the best hacker to do so, but the driver was told to turn around and go away from the area when he was just 2kms away, he was threatened to turned around or else they were going to burn the truck down along with the car."  What the heck is wrong with this guy?!!

"It's okay Hailee. I will be there in five. Keep my coffee ready." "Yes, Ma'am." She said and I ended the call.

I was fuming in rage. BURN DOWN THE CAR!!?? He knew that my car was going to come here and yet he did this on purpose.  I furiously got out of the house.

And the same car as mine was there. The black Aventador SJ. But it didn't have my number plate. Why does he have the same car as me?!?!!

He was sitting in the car and he didn't say any word. I rolled my eyes and sat inside his car.

"Suit yourself." I silently muttered in his voice, mocking him.

"I can throw you out of my car you know."

"You couldn't do that." "And why do you think that?" "Because then I will kill you."

"You can try babe." My heart stopped for a second. You have to come up with a good comeback Aubrey!!!

Right.

"Well, you can't throw me out because if you do then I will tell the paparazzi things and they will believe and I am pretty sure that they will make a big mess out of it."

THIS IS YOUR GOOD COMEBACK AUBREY!!!

''Yeah, whatever."  Wait he didn't argue further? Well, that's new.

The second we were out of his area, he drives the car in the full speed.

See that's why he didn't argue he is now going to crash the car and say that he lost control.

Shut up brain. He knows what he is doing and it's good for us we will reach the office on time.

Within two minutes, we reached my office.

He pulled over the car. I got out of the car. I turned around and I was going to leave when,

"Aren't you going to say thank you at least?" I rolled my eyes and turned around and bend over, placing my hands inside the car. "Not exactly. you were the reason why my car wasn't here in the first place."

" You are really an ungrateful brat." He said making me angry like hell. HOW DARE HE!!??? I stood up straight and folded my arms against my chest.

"Fuck you, Xavier." "You already have amore." He said and drove off. How dare he say that?!

I hate him so much. I sighed. I walked inside the office, one click of my heels was heard on the marble and everyone's neck snapped towards me. Once they saw me, they said their 'good mornings' and I just nodded.

I went inside my private lift and made my way towards the office. I entered the room and I sat down on my chair. I opened my laptop and went through my emails. I phone buzzed.

Leo's gf: OOOOOO Mr and Mrs DeAngelis getting cosy before leaving the office huh?

She sends me an article which had the same heading. I sighed. It was a picture of me placing my hands on the window still and my head was inside the car, so it looked like... Yeah, I am not going to say those words.

Me: Since when did you start to believe in these kinds of shitty news?

Leo gf's: Since my best friend doesn't tell me. -_-

Me: I don't have time for this shit. Bye

I said and turned off the phone. I really to submit this final project of the hotel which I have been working on since the past one month. I heard a knock on the door and I saw Hailee coming in.

"Perfect timing Hailee. Everything details and the interiors of the Wilder's is ready right?"

"Yes, Ma'am. The hotel is ready with every single detail as mentioned by the client."

"Okay. Did you want anything?"

"Yes Ma'am Actually...."She said and paused for one minute. I looked up at her. "Hailee I don't have the whole day." 

"Ma'am, can  I leave early today?" "May I know the reason why?" I said glancing at the file which was kept on the table.

"Personal reasons Ma'am." I scowled. "Are you sick?" "No ma'am." "Then what personal reasons?" "Actually hmm..." "Hailee you can say it I won't judge you chill."

She looked at me weirdly. I never spoke to her like a normal person. I never gave her any holiday, even on the weekends. Okay, I feel bad for her now. But I pay her 25,000 per month so you guys can't blame me.

"You can leave right now if you want, and you can have tomorrow off too," I said. She looked at her as if I was joking.

"No, I am not joking. I am serious. I was anyways going to leave to meet up with Mr Wilder today and I am going to show him the hotel tomorrow the whole day, so I don't need you for today and tomorrow. I can take care of everything." I said.

"Thank you, Ma'am. Thank you so much. Actually, it's my... my niece's birthday and she didn't want me to go to work today. She adores me and she wanted me to spend her whole day with me and I came here when she was sleeping and she doesn't know that I came here and she will cry when she sees that I am not there-"

"Hailee quit rambling and go!!! Dont bail on your niece like that."I said and smiled.

"Thank you, ma'am, thank you so much."She said and was about to turn around when I said, "Hailee just do me a quick favour. Send my Black Audi R8 here while you are on your way home."

"Yes, Ma'am." She said and smiled and walked out of the office.

It was fifteen minutes, I heard my stomach making noises. Great I didn't have my breakfast and my coffee. Why did I send Hailee home again? My door busted open revealing Adrain in his hoodie and black pants with two cups of coffee in his hand.

"Do you literally have no other job then coming to my office every day?"

"Nope. Where is your assistant by the way." I gave him a puzzled look. "Why do you ask?" "She is hot nothing else." I rolled my eyes and then I snatched the coffee from his hand.

"You are welcome."He said sarcastically.

I heard my phone ring. Mr Wilder's name flashed on the screen.

"Yes, Mr Wilder?" "Oh, Aubrey!! I heard that everything in the hotel is ready?"

"Yes, Mr Wilder. If you are free for one hour, then can we meet in five minutes? Some minute deals are left."

"Yes, Sure!! I am sitting in the cafe which is just five minutes away from your office. You can come here now."

"Okay. I will well be there in five minutes. Thank you, Mr Wilder."I said and ended the call.

"I have to run, "I said as I got up and toke my laptop and my clutch with me.

"Hey!!! What about me?" Adrian whinnied. "I never called you here in the first. Don't you have a book to write?"

"Nope. I am going to take a nap here. Wake me up when you here." He said as he walked over the couch and threw himself on it.

"Suit yourself,"  I said as I picked up my laptop and car keys. I always have all my car's spare keys in my office.

I went down and saw my Audi R8 parked. I smirked and got in. I was well aware that Mr Wilder and a cafe which is owned and is run by Mrs Wilder.

I parked the car and saw through the glass that someone was sitting in front of Mr Wilder. I walked inside and Mr Wilder saw me.

"Oh look. Your wife Aubrey is here."

You have got to be shitting me.
