Pursuing Him
“I heard from a maid already that he’d already left for the day,” I said to save her the trouble of breaking the unfortunate news to me.
“I see…” she said before clamping her mouth shut again.
After many days of this happening on repeat, I figured that it wasn’t simply just a coincidence and that could only mean one thing…
“He’s completely ignoring me, isn’t he?” I stated my suspicion, and it wasn’t really a question.
“Of course not. He would never do something like that,” Jenna replied so quickly that I wanted to laugh.
I wondered if she knew that her attempt to defend him was in vain. My hands were balled into tight fists as my body shook from anger. I knew that I was partly in the wrong for running away from Zain and turning up at Anthony’s office, but he didn’t have to avoid me like I was the plague. I could imagine things being awkward between us and I didn’t want to see him either.
