THE FLAW IN OUR STARS

e balcony" he waved and walked away. I stood up and followed him upstairs to his balcony. He wore a light, white T-shirt and a pyjamas. He looked more handsome than in suits. "I bet you haven't ha

e best I could give her" "I'm in so much shock now, I'll talk to you later" Nathan pulled me back and hugged me tightly. "Please don't reject me now. Please don't leave like the way momma did" he whispered softly "I'm only 19. Don't you think this is an abuse?" I asked throwing his hands "You'll be 20 in a month time. Why do you keep giving excuses? You could say yes or no right now" "I'll be leaving" I answered and ran away Running through the gate, I found Anna walking in, I flinched and apologized. What was I expecting? She's his secretary anyways. "Stop there" Anna ordered Aside Anna being his personal secretary and overprotective of her boss, I found her more scarier and venomous. I paused immediately bowing my heads down in shame. "What can you possibly be doing here by this time of the day? I'm here for a meeting, scratch that I'm tired of hearing those excuses" Anna mimicked "Nathan called me over, so.... I...." "Oh! He's even called Nathan at home? So much audacity for a 19 year old" "I'll get going" "Stop" Anna ordered again, this time stopping me with her hands on my shoulder.

"Get out and lock the gate behind you" She cut in and walked away. Of course I understood where Anna was headed and she had every right to talk that way and walk away freely. The whole weekend was crazy, I didn't even have enough energy to meet Alfred, I had a lot of surveys to work on before Monday. I knew I was going to be all worked out by Monday but the issue that happened on Saturday at Nathan's house must be resolved. By Monday, I walked straight to the CEO's office and waited patiently for him. Every Monday, Anna usually drops him at his office and heads straight to the planning room to schedule appointments and meetings. It was a perfect time to meet with him. "Good morning, Sir" I greeted with heads bow "What? Are you going to act all humble this morning?" "I'm sorry, sir" "Scratch that.... What do you want? If it's so important please pass it on to Anna if it isn't, you can leave" For someone who confessed his feelings to me 2 days ago? He was being unnecessarily cold. I looked up and turned to leave "Hey, hey, I'm sorry. I'm just not in a perfect mood" Should I just walk away or show concern? I asked myself and walked away. I wasn't upset, I just didn't
