Jealousy?

Nate was in his office daydreaming. He wished he could stand up to go see Paige. He sprung up from his seat and paused.

"What if she doesn't want to see me?" He asked himself and sat down. He groaned silently and played with his fingers. It was few minutes to noon. He sprung up again and head out of his office.

"I am the boss" he said to himself. He twisted the handle of her door and walked in.

"Sure, I can make it tonight. Bye" she walked out of the bathroom and closed the door. She hung up the call and sighted Nate by the door.

"What brings you here sir?" She asked.

"Who were you talking to? You looked happy" he asked. She placed her phone on the table and slipped her finger into her hair.

"My private life is none of your business Nate" she said. Nate snorted and took few steps closer to Paige. Paige didn't even move from where she stood. She raised her head proudly, staring into his eyes.

"I see you look totally different from before" he smiled.

"Is that what you came here to tell me...sir?" She frowned.

"No.. let's grab lunch together. We could catch up like old times" he said.

"I'm too busy to hang out with you. Besides, there was no old time between us" she said. She didn't complete her words before Nate grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to himself.

"I respect you so much Paige. It's an order from you boss. Come out in three minutes" he said and let go of her arm. Paige watched as he turned around and walked away from her office. She touched her arm and groaned in pain. She can't believe she would be in the same company with him five times a week. She was already tired of him even if it was just her first day.

"You should accept it. It's a good offer. Do you know what I would do with a million dollar?" Jane asked Betsy. Betsy was busy biting her chicken laps. She was proud of herself that she was picked by Quinn.

"The money isn't on my mind Jane. I get to sleep with my boss on the same bed. I mean, his pants down, my pants down. Him touching and licking every part of my body and..."

"That's disgusting. We,,,,,,ll, whatever the case maybe, when you get paid make sure you give me part of the money. Because I'd love to go shopping" Jane said and took her piece of chicken laps. As she was about to dig her teeth into it, she saw Nate walking into the canteen.

"Quinn also told me that..."

"Shh, is that the new secretary with boss? What are they doing together? He never come here to eat" Jane interrupted Betsy. Betsy also turned to see for herself.

She sighed and diverted her gaze from them. Out of frustration, she dropped her chicken.

"He never have lunch with me" she murmured.

"I also heard they graduated from high school together. That's the reason for their closeness. Besides, they look good together" Jane said and looked away from them.

"No, he looks great with Quinn" she handed her hand on the table. Everyone diverted their gaze to them.

"Sorry" she murmured and sink into her chair.

"You hated Quinn at first but now, you are praising her because of a million dollar and your boss d!ck"

.

Everyone's gaze were on Paige and Nate. It was the first time that he would come to the office canteen.

"What would you like to eat?" He asked her. Paige folded her legs and was busy on her phone.

"Coffee is fine" she replied.

"I asked what you want to eat not drink. Besides, quit staring at your phone. You can talk to your boyfriend later" he said.

Paige placed her phone on the table.

"I'll take some pasta" she replied.

"Good" he replied and signalled the waiter. Paige hated the way everyone glared at her like they were going to kill her for being with Nate.

Hours later, Paige was ready to leave already. She was going to have dinner with Zane. She already got a text message from him that he was downstairs.

She came out from her office and saw Nate also walking out of his office.

"I should drop you off at home" he said.

"No thank you" she said and walked out on him. They got into the elevator together and walked out of the company. Nate watched as she walked towards Zane and wrapped her arms around him. She didn't even turn back to stare at him.

"What was I thinking? She would have moved on already" he thought to himself and walked away.

"Let's go" Zane opened the door for her. She pushed herself into the car and fastened her seatbelt. Zane also did the same thing and drove off.

Nate still watched them till his car was out of sight. What was he feeling? Jealousy?

He shook the thought of his head and drove off.

Quinn couldn't wait for the art exhibition on Saturday. Her painting was going to be everywhere.

She was inviting all of her friends not to miss it.

"Yeah, it's this Saturday. Sure, I'll send the location to you right now. Thank you, good night" she disconnected the call. She turned and saw Nate walking into the room. With a smile on her face, she walked to him.

"Welcome home Nate"

Nate stared at her from head to toe.

"Why are you looking so bright?" He asked.

"Saturday is the day I've been waiting for. I can't wait to see my painting everywhere and people buying it" she said happily.

"People buying your naked painting? Great!" He snorted and walked away.

"It's art, okay? Don't call it that" she said as her smile fade away.

"That's the truth" he replied.

"Nate!" Quinn grabbed his hand and pulled him back.

"Don't call my name Quinn. Just stay away from me" he shook his hand away from hers and walked away.

Quinn watched as he walked away from her. She fummed and stomped her feet on the floor angrily.

"He didn't even notice my new hair style" she grumbled.
