Oh sh*t I forgot to put it back on, but it's in the car. They probably would've seen me on the cameras.

"I washed it off. I hate makeup anyways". I said as convincing as possible. He stared at me for a while before his expression soften.

"Then why wear it? And why just wash the lipstick off?"

"I'm a grown woman, not a kid anymore. I do whatever I want".

"I know that, I still don't understand w-".

"I've got plenty of things to do. I'll see you ok?" I stepped off and left before he could say another word. I know what he was gonna ask and I don't wanna go back into that. I wanna move on. If I didn't caught him red handed, things would've turned out differently, but then I would've had a cheating, lying bastard around me so I'm happy that I found out.

"I'll see you tomorrow ok". I said to Lenoy after I left the office. He smile and nod, then I touched his chest before walking off.

* * *

"Why are you edgy?"

"I don't wanna be around him. It reminded me of. . .you know what". I'm sitting on my couch in bra and pantie, talking to my best friend through the Bluetooth on my ears, sipping red wine. I live alone so if I wanna walk around naked it doesn't matter.

"Akeilia its not like you guys were together when it happened".

"I. . .". That doesn't mean I'm not upset about it.

"Are you there. . .?" She asked. I sipped my wine again.

"Yes I'm here. I'm confused Mon. He's suppose to know that there was something between us. I saw it in his eyes many times".

"Your sure about you but not him. Its the same thing he's thinking. I told you to tell him a long time ago".

"You know how naive I was back then-".

"And still is. Girl maybe this is your chance. And he deserves a second chance".

"Not from me. He can f*ck off".

"You mean f*ck you".

"I'm already getting enough of that".

"Don't tell me you wouldn't want him all over your body". Hmmm

"Did you just say you've had enough of sex? Is there something I'm missing?" Oh god.

"Um. . .kinda".

"I don't feel like I know you anymore". She joked.

"So that's why I don't need Michael".

"Honey there's a difference with being with someone because of sex and because of love. You love Michael and the both of you. . .". She stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"Ahhh".

I sit properly.

"Monique?" I called worried. What if she's going in labour?

"Don't worry. . .I'm fine. I'm just six months". She said then groan painfully.

"The baby won't stop kicking the hell out of me". I lean back with a smile and with relief.

"Well that's a good thing". I can tell she rolled her eyes.

"I'm never gonna push such big thing out of me".

"You and I know why your saying that". Yes its because of what that sh*t did to me.

"But once it happen, your gonna be happy, especially if it's for someone you love".

"Hurray for you and Leon". I rolled my eye and sip my wine. She chuckle.

"So who's this guy?"

"Um. . .do I have to tell you that?" Of everyone else, Monique is the only one I don't want to think low of me. That's one of the reasons I slowed down from being with more than one guy at once. The only reason I didn't tell that bastard straight to his face was because I don't want him to tell the council. I'm not sure he would, but I don't trust him. If I caught any of my employees having sex I'll have to fire them instantly. Yet I'm breaking my own rule.

"Yes. Don't we tell each other everything. Besides I'm home alone everyday. I can't work right now, so I need some entertainment". I sigh.

"Ok fine. . .its Lenoy". I hear her gasp and I rolled my eyes.

"The manager? Akeilia you have to be careful".

"Your talking about careful. Today when I got upset that I'm partner with him and left? That was when we. . . you know?"

"While everyone was waiting? Your crazier than I thought. Did he suspect anything?"

"He saw that my lipstick was missing".

"Akeilia". She said in a warning tone.

"It was worth it. That guy can f*ck. Anyways, I gave him an excuse he wont-"

"Just remember that he isn't an idiot". I got cut off, but Monique wasn't the one who did it.

"Hold on there's another call coming in". I pressed the button to answer.

"Hello". I answered nicely.

"Mr Perry speaking. We have some things to discuss. Can you come down to my office?" Michael?

"I thought we'd discuss this like tomorrow". Or never.

"I understand but its better to be prepared before right?" I sigh.

"Right, I'm gonna put some cloth-". Sh*t! Stupid idiot your not talking to Monique yet. I'm so- why don't you f*ck*ng keep focussed when your talking to him. Jesus! 

"I wasn't suppose to- I thought it was- I though you- um never mind". Gosh I feel so stupid right now.

"Just. . .come to the office". And with that said, he hung up.

"Monique?"

"I'm still here. Who called". She'll never change. Always wants to know everything.

"I almost tell Michael that I'm gonna put some clothes on. I have no idea why I blurted that out. I'm just so used to talking to you on the phone and that would've been my reply if we were going somewhere, and I just-".

"Slow down". I feel so damn nervous.

"I just know that he know that that's what I was going to say". I said frustrated.

"Don't worry about it girl. He won't eat you". She laughed.

"I just don't know why I can't focus properly when I'm around him".

"I gave you the answer like a million times already".

"I just hate him for what he did. And to make things worst, he continues to go out with random women".

"That's because he doesn't find the right person. The guy is handsome, wealthy, etc. He has practically everything he desire. The only thing that's missing is the right girl".

"Good for him. I'm gonna meet him at his office. He wants us to discuss the project I told you about".

"Ok then, I need to go feed my baby and myself. Tell godmother Akeilia ba bye".

"Ba bye baby". I said and she hung up. Yes I'm gonna be his or her godmother.

I need to take a shower.

* * *

Soon I pulled up at the building I was at five years ago. The same building that I saw the b*tch going down on him.

I shook the thought from my head and proceed. I didn't put anything professional on. Just a tight high waist purple jeans, with a stretchy purple blouse tucked into it, and a purple heels. This high heel, heel isn't pointed, its full, if you know what I mean. The part that covered my toes is gold, but my toes aren't completely covered. I coloured my toes with purple cutex after I showered. I also have a gold handbag. I let down my hair and this time there's no eye-shadow. Its just eyeliner, mascara, clear lip gloss on my pinkish lips, two gold nubs and a gold chain. And of course I applied my favourite cologne.

I pushed the door open and head right for the elevator.

"Can I speak to you for a moment". Some guy who's biting on his bottom lip said. I ignored him and walk into the elevator. Idiot.

Soon I'm heading for his office.

"Mia". I can't believe she's still working here. She looks the same, but a bit older of course. She look at me with a frown. I also frown looking at her.

"Mia its me". Her eyes widen.

"Akeilia? Oh my god Akeilia!" I started to smile.

"Yes its me". She practically ran from around her desk to embrace me.

"You've grown so much. My god look at you". She's scanning me from head to foot with both hands on my shoulder. I'm happy to see that she's still working here and that I have another chance to talk to her.

"How old are you now honey? Its been what, four, five years?" She's now looking at my face.

"You've grown so beautiful".

"I'm twenty two".

"I'm so happy to see you". She removed her hands and walk back around her desk.

"I'm working so I have to be here".

"I understand".

"The last time I saw you, you were sad and you never told me what the problem was. Did Mr Perry said something to you?" Should I tell her? If I do is she going to tell him.

"I can only tell you if you promise not to tell him". I feel like I can trust her.

"I promise I won't".

"When you told me that Michael was in a meeting, it wasn't a profession meeting if you know what I mean". She widen her eyes a bit.

"That little sl*t". I was surprised that she use such word. She just doesn't look the type. I sadly look at her trying not to cry.

"Did he saw you?" I shake my head from left to right.

"I'm sorry I didn't say anything to you that day. I was too young to even think of mentioning such a thing to you. You know. . .being sad and upset because I saw that".

"Oh honey its ok. Are you ok now. . .you know with. . .".

"Yea, yea I'm over it. . .ninety nine percent. I have my own company now too". I smile.

"Good, very good. Your strong, not everyone who'd been in a situation like yours turned out this great".

"Yeah".

"I'm sorry to ask, but were you and Mr Perry. . .involved?".

"No no, no we weren't. It was just that. . .I. . .".

"Its ok, don't explain I know what you mean".

"Well. . .I have a meeting with him. Can I go in?" I wanna make sure this time that I won't get any surprises. Not that I care. I just want to meet with him soon and leave.

"Hold on. Before you go please give me your number. I want to call you now and again". I gave it to her and she put her phone away.

"I was so depressed when you left like that without saying a word. Everyone here was really uncomfortable".

"What do you mean?"

"He yelled at practically everyone for just a simple mistake. He never usually did that. That was like two to three months after you left. I don't quite remember". Oh.

"You told him that I came here?" I want to know if she's honest. Stupid me, I just told her something I don't want Michael to know, yet now I'm talking about her honesty.

"I thought he saw you, so I asked him what happened to you and told him that you were here. Oh no you think he know that you saw him?"

"I don't know and I don't care". I confidently said.

"Can I go in?"

"Honestly speaking, I prefer you knock and wait a bit first". I feel a rush of something inside me, but I'm not sure how to describe it.

"I've never seen him like this before. He used to be calm, comforting, sweet. I don't know what happened to him".

"Thanks for your honesty". I'm not gonna wait out here like some idiot until he's finished doing whatever. He was the one who called and told me that we should meet and that's what I'm gonna do.

"I'm gonna go in".

"Ok then".

I walked off towards the office.

I knocked twice then open it. Laughter erupted in my ears. I see a b*tch on his lap and another on his desk.

"Um ladies its time to go". He said after he saw me. I'm not surprised but my heart is swelling.

"But we wanna stay a bit longer". The one on his lap whined.

"Another time".

"Please Mr Perry". The one on the table pleaded. I don't wanna disturb him, so I'll leave.

"Its ok, I don't wanna disturb you". They smile evilly at me. They got what they f*ck*ng wanted.

"Akeilia". He called but I didn't stop.

"Get the f*ck out!" He yelled, then I stopped, but didn't look around. Did he just yelled at them?

"We'll see you around". They have nothing about themselves.

"I'll call when I need you". He'll call them? I'm a grown woman now. I'm done crying.

"Mr Perry I think it'll better if we have this meeting another time". I can't talk to him right now. He disgust me.

The women smirked at me before they left. SLUTS.

"We have a meeting, sit down". What?

"Don't you dear command me. I'm not a kid and I don't work for you". If only he knew how much I wanna slap his face for trying to command me like that.

"I'm sorry. Please have a seat Ms Shaw". Much better.

I walk towards his desk while I took my handbag off and sit on the chair, then rest it on my lap. He took his tablet out doing something on it.

"So why did you call me?"

"I got information on a particular thing. . .". He swiped on the tablet screen.

"Yes?" Speed this up I need to leave.

"That should be done in no less than twenty four hours". I frown.

"And that is?" He look at me and clenched his teeth.

He put the tablet in front of me and my eyes widen.

What do you think about Michael?

What do you think about Akeilia?

What do you think he showed her?
