Chapter 11: Mixed Feelings

As Luna slowly regained her strength, she mustered up the courage to visit the library and inform Jason of her departure. However, her weakened state made her stumble, almost on the verge of falling. Just as she was about to hit the ground, Luna's hand brushed against a book, causing it to fall from the shelf. In that moment, Jason appeared out of nowhere, catching Luna and holding her waist to steady her.

Caught off guard by his sudden presence and the intimate contact, Luna felt her heart race. Jason, taking advantage of the moment, leaned in to kiss her. But Luna turned her face away, denying him the opportunity. She couldn't deny the attraction she felt towards him, but she knew deep down that it was a dangerous path to tread.

Jason, undeterred by Luna's rejection, confessed his interest in her,since he met her at the pool. He admitted that he couldn't help but be drawn to her, her strength and resilience captivating him. Luna, however, kept her distance, determined to protect herself from any potential heartbreak. She had been hurt before and wasn't willing to risk her heart again.

Despite Luna's refusal, Jason remained persistent. He assured her that he would be there for her, waiting patiently whenever she needed a shoulder to lean on. He understood her need for independence and respected her boundaries, but he couldn't deny the connection they shared.

Luna, torn between her desire for love and her fear of getting hurt, couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope. Perhaps, in time, she would be able to trust again. But for now, she needed to focus on healing herself and finding her own path.

As Luna left the library that day, she couldn't shake off the mixed emotions swirling within her. The road ahead was uncertain, but she knew that she had to stay true to herself. Only then could she truly find the love and happiness she longed for.

As I walked into the office that morning, a heavy cloud of tension hung in the air. The recent events had left everyone on edge, and I could feel their resentful stares piercing through me. It seemed that the fallout from the party had taken its toll on my colleagues.

Just the day before, I had left Jason's house, where he had assured me that he had taken a sick leave on my behalf. Little did I know that the consequences of our actions would be so severe. Amy and Anna, two of my colleagues in the office, had been fired, and now everyone seemed to be pointing fingers at me.

Whispers filled the room as I made my way to my desk. The accusations against me were harsh and unfounded. I was being labeled as a seductress, someone who had used her charm to manipulate Brian, our boss, into doing my bidding. It was a shocking and hurtful accusation, one that I never expected to face.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of betrayal. Amy and Anna had been my enemies in the office. Now, they were gone, and I was left to face the consequences alone. The weight of their absence was heavy on my shoulders, and I couldn't help but wonder if I was next in line to be dismissed.

As I sat at my desk, trying to focus on my work, I couldn't shake off the feeling of isolation. The once friendly and supportive atmosphere had turned into a hostile environment. Colleagues who used to exchange smiles and greetings now avoided eye contact, as if I were contagious.

I knew I had to stay strong and prove my innocence. I had done nothing wrong, and I refused to let the rumors define me. But it was easier said than done. The constant scrutiny and judgment were taking a toll on my confidence and mental well-being.

I saw Anderson Amy's boyfriend approaching me and I knew that the problem was far from over.He got to my desk and banged it as hard as he can.Anderson!! What's wrong with you?!
