ARGUMENT BETWEEN MOM AND NATE

He let go of me, when we heard a knock on the door, our eyes moved to the door, we squinted our eyes to make through the silhouette entering the office.

"What's going on here ?" she sneered.

'Mom…..' we both stood up and she got closer.

"So, you are now having fun with this guy in your workplace?"

'Well, I am her best friend who she can rely on despite her wonderful family!'

"How dare you?"

'I dare not, Mam. My tongue slipped. Though none in her family cared for her, She've always loved them. It's just that her family isn't supportive, that's it, it was the most popular thing on the internet. Don't you read them?' His eyes glared.

I grabbed  him hard, patted him to stay quiet.

She looked at my hand and my face and his, "You won't talk? He's blaming me and you aren't saying a word? Does that mean you think the same about me?" she broke into tears.

'No…Mom…I'm …please…don't..' I grabbed her.

She shoved my hands off her and fled the place.

I stood there eyeing her exit.

'It's okay, she wasn't really crying. She was embarrassed and she needed to run away 'I exhaled, closing my eyes. 

"Why is she rude to her own daughter? I've never seen her appreciate or cherish you?"

I turned to face him, 'She has never done that, after my dad's accident. She has changed after that, she stopped believing everyone! I can't blame her, I am the reason for everything!' I breathed out, my pain seems to have subdued.

  I glanced at Nate and realized the reason for it. He caught me staring and moved his chin upward, his eyebrows raised, 'Are you admiring me?'

"Tch….Yes…." I giggled and tapped on his shoulder," I just want to relax, help me cancel all my schedules today Nate!"

'Even the one with Noah?'

"No...." I almost shrieked. Sorry…I should really meet him, it's important! '

'Fine, If you need me, I'm just one call away, okay?'

"Oh, damn… I forgot about this ", I searched for my phone on the table and showed it to Nate.

'Woah! Someone must have triggered you to shatter this favorite piece? ', he humored.

"Nate…?"

'Okay…give that to me and I'll get you a new one, until the favorite piece gets its glorious look back !' he chortled.

"Come on, Don't you dare! " I warned him about his sarcasm.

'It's time to upgrade, the Queen of Businesses now gets to hold the latest version, finally !' His voice dramatic.

'Fine, get me the latest upgraded one !' I shook my head and hands to irritate him.

"I'll be right back ." he left, ignoring me.
