Amelia woke up to a splitting headache, as she rubs her forehead groaning in the process. She felt like a great hammer was banging on her head as her eyes twitched a little before slightly opening it.
She saw Liam staring at her as he was standing in front of her with a glass of lime water in his hand, she immediately sat up on the bed fixing her hair.
“Here take this, it will help with the headache”He hands her the glass and leaves the room not waiting to hear her response.
“I guess he is still mad at me” Amelia sighs before gulping down the line, gagging at the odd taste.
Few minutes later, she got prepared to go to work. She went downstairs to meet Liam but saw no trace of him which made her sad.
“Maybe he already went to work”She concludes before leaving the house and being greeted by some guards outside.
Amelia reached the company feeling all tired and weak as she was still a little bit dizzy. She worked towards her work section and saw her fellow co workers looking all dull and tired.
“Looks like everyone is feeling today,”Amelia mutters before heading towards her desk.
She placed her bag down and took her seat, preparing herself for the daily work when someone dropped a tiny bottle on her desk that reads hangover helper. She slowly looked up to see Elliot smiling at her.
“Thank you”She thanked him while returning the smile before opening the bottle and drinking the liquid.
“You are welcome”He responded and made his way to his desk.
“Hey what about me, I’m that visible”Laila whines from behind making Elliot chuckle slightly.
“Of course you are invisible, no one actually notices you in this office so stop thinking you are special”Mike scoffs as Laila slowly turns to look at him with annoyance.
“At least people even know me, unlike you”She fires back.
“That’s a big lie, I’m quite popular in this office you know”Mike boastfully utters feeling himself.
“Ha, you wish”Laila scoffs while rolling her eyes.
“You don’t believe me, Nina tells her how important I am”Mike turned to Nina for intervention.
“Uhm you are important”Nina calmly states ignoring the side eyes Laila had been giving her.
“That’s it , stay away from me from now on it’s obvious you are one of my enemies”Laila blurted out with her arms crossed referring to Nina who had no idea on what was going on.
“You are just jealous”Mike mocks her, making her more annoyed.
“Well Nina calls everyone important, no big deal she can even say Claudia is important too”Laila explains chuckling slightly.
“Let’s ask Amelia then,”Mike suggested.
“Yes Amelia!”Laila yells out Amelia’s name.
“Yes”Amelia answers, peering her eyes beside her laptop to look in their direction.
“Who is more important, me or mike!?”Laila yells even though their distance wasn’t far.
“What do you mean?”Amelia asked a bit nonchalantly about their answer as she focused on her work.
“Me or this grumpy Laila, who is better and more important?”Mike asked, earning a glare from Laila.
“Oh none”Amelia nonchalantly responded, making them gasp.
“Ha burn”Elliot laughter filled the room making them glare at him. Amelia noticed their sad faces and sighs.
“I mean none, cause you both are great in your own way no one is better”She added.
“Well I still believe I’m better than this jerk”Laila whimpers with her arms crossed.
“Sure”Amelia agrees, giving a sheepish smile.
“Everyone knows I’m better, they are just trying not to hurt you”Mike explains feeling himself.
“You are…”Laila cut herself short when she saw the boss approaching their way.
Everyone stood firm, even Amelia stood up to greet the boss, but he didn’t respond to any of them as he made his way to his office.
“Guess the boss isn’t in a good mood”Laila whispers to Mike and he nods agreeing to her words.
Amelia pouts feeling down as she sits down back, Elliot notices her face and chuckles slightly. Everyone was talking when Claudia came in with a smiling face.
“Good morning everyone”She greets them, making them all gasp.
“Uhm are you talking to us?”Mike asked, doubting the fact she just greeted them.
“I’m also wondering,”Laila added while trying to process the fact that Claudia just greeted them.
“Good morning Claudia”Nina returned the greeting earning a smile from Claudia.
“How are you in this fine morning angel?”Claudia asked with a smile while twirling a little.
“Oh I’m good”Nina chirped out a bit confused as everyone gazed at them especially at Claudia shocked.
“Well you look good”Claudia compliments her, making her giggle.
“Okay drop the act you witch, what made you all happy this morning?”Laila scoffs with her arms crossed, Mike tugged on the hem of her T-shirt ushering her to be quiet but she jerks him off.
“You see my lovely co-worker,”Claudia started with a bright smile as Laila rolled her eyes.
Amelia stared at them wondering the reason behind Claudia’s happiness. Elliot smirks as they were entertaining him.
“Well yesterday when you all went out to waste away”Claudia reminds them.
“Yea”Laila nods eagerly waiting for her to finish.
Amelia POV
What is she trying to say? Did anything happen when we were all away, well I don’t really remember anybody being in the company except for Liam. Wait that means she and Liam were all alone in the office yesterday night.
Amelia gasps covering her mouth with her hands. Everyone turned to look at her including Claudia who she had just interrupted.
“Any problem Amelia?”Claudia politely asked, giving her a fake smile.
“No…no go on”Amelia stutters, making Elliot chuckle slightly.
“Well where was I?”Claudia asked while humming in the process as if she was trying to recall something.
“Oh when you all went out to waste yourself”Claudia repeats, making them groan except for Amelia and Elliot who were patiently waiting for her to talk.
“Will you just get straight to the point?”Mike blurted out a bit frustrated.
“Yea, I bet she doesn’t really have anything to say, just wanna waste our time”Laila added, making Claudia frown.
“You know I didn’t beg any of you to pay attention to me, so if you don’t care about what I’m about to say just fuck off!”Claudia snaps at them.
“We’ll look who’s back”Laila smirks as Claudia rolls her eyes.
“I knew she had nothing to say, let’s get back to work guys”Laila added as Everyone left for their section.
Amelia, who was dying to hear what Claudia had to say, screams , making them all halt at their tracks.
“What’s Amelia?”Laila asked, wondering why she screamed.
“Well just wanted to say since we are all here, why don’t we give her a chance to speak you know what I mean?”Amelia nervously spoke making Claudia smirk as Laila gave her a questioning look.
“She probably doesn’t have anything meaningful to say,”Laila utters.
“I mean, we never know until she says it may be meaningful this time”Amelia struggles trying to convince Laila.
“Claudia has never said anything meaningful in her life before, I’m telling you”Laila assures her as if Claudia wasn’t in the room.
“You do know I’m standing right here”Claudia pointed out glaring at Laila.
“Oh I didn’t notice”Laila lied, giving her a fake smile.
“I don’t know who you think you are?!”Claudia snaps at her.
“Probably someone you can never be”Laila claps back.
“Are you listening to yourself, why will I ever wanna be like you?”Claudia scoffs.
“You can’t even if you try,”Laila tells her.
“Gross I rather be like those beggars in the street than be like you”Claudia admits giving her a disgusting look.
“Well it won’t be too much of a work for you, cause you will fit in just well”Laila fires her as laughter fills the room, even Elliot who was watching them silently chuckled a bit.
“What did you just say bitch?!”Claudia dragged her words giving Laila a murderous look.
“You heard me,”Laila smirks.
Amelia couldn’t take their bickering again, as the thought of Claudia and Liam being together alone angers the shit out of her that she couldn’t control herself again from letting out.
“Enough!”Amelia yelled, stopping Claudia from replying to Laila as they all turned to her direction.
“What happened yesterday okay, is either you speak up or you shut your trap cause we don’t have all the time in the world!”Amelia’s outburst shocked everyone including Claudia as her part was slightly opened.
“Wow,”Elliot mutters, a little stunned.
“Uhm…I”Claudia stutters, not still trying to process what just happened.
“I knew it, she has nothing to say”Laila scoffs and turns to leave.
“The boss gave me a lift home last night, and we had coffee together,”Claudia announced, adding a little extra spice in it.
Claudia’s confession made Laila halt at her tracks and turn to look at her a bit shocked.
“What did you just say?”Laila asked, doubting her.
“I said the boss gave me a lift, and we had coffee together”Claudia proudly repeated, making her gasp.
Elliot turned his gaze to Amelia as her mouth opened slightly, unable to speak. She just sat on her chair staring at her laptop.
“No way Liam we ever sit down to drink coffee”Elliot chuckles silently watching as they all believed Claudia’s lies.
“I can’t believe the boss, we drive a slut like you home, and even drink coffee with you”Laila scoffs, not believing in her lies.
“Believe me or not I don’t care bitch!”Claudia admits before walking away, she stops at Amelia’s desk as Amelia slowly gazes up at her. Claudia gives her a wink while smirking before walking away.
“There is no way the boss will ever drive that bitch home!”Laila barks.
“Calm down,”Nina says, trying to calm her down.
“I mean all of the people the boss sees to take home he chose Claudia, I mean why not me?”Laila questions.
Laila kept on ranting as Nina was trying to console her. Elliot stood up and walked towards Amelia desk, he pulled out a seat and sat in front of her.
“Are you okay?”He asked but she ignored him.
“You do know Liam will never hang out with anyone to drink coffee”Elliot tells her.
“Sure”She replies before laying her head on her desk.
“You will be fine,”Elliot assures her, caressing her hair a little.
“No I won’t”Amelia responded but her voice was muffled because of the desk she was laying on.
“you will”He assures her while laughing as he caresses her hair trying to console her.
Liam opened his office door and saw Elliot caressing Amelia’s hair which made him frown.
Flashback
Liam POV
I kinda feel bad for ignoring her in the morning, I mean I’m just so mad at her for yesterday. I mean I have the right to be mad at her right?. What is wrong with me , why I’m i asking myself these dumb questions. Gosh I need to talk to her.
He stood up and went to meet Amelia.
End of flashback.
Elliot saw Liam staring at them from his side eyes and smirks. Amelia raised her head up now facing Elliot as he flinched a little by her sudden action.
“You are a nice person”She admits while smiling.
“Well thank you”Elliot, who was a bit confused, uttered.
“Unlike that your stupid friend”Amelia curses at Liam having no idea he was standing behind her back.
“I know right, he is so stupid”Elliot grins glancing at Liam who was already giving him a dead glare.
“I mean who takes a girl out in the middle of the night to go and drink coffee”Amelia scoffs.
“You know he isn’t the type to drink coffee at night,”Elliot admits.
“Well I don’t care, I just know I’m breaking up with him”Amelia announced, making Liam’s eyes widen.
“Why do you wanna break up with him?”Elliot asked, trying his best not to laugh.
“Isn’t it obvious?”Amelia rolled her eyes.
“Nah I don’t think it is”Elliot admits as Liam watches them quietly waiting eagerly for her reason.
“Well he cheated on me with that bitch”Amelia concludes referring to Claudia.
“What makes you say that?”Elliot curiously asked as Liam waved his hand from the back signalling he didn’t do anything.
“Well you were here, when she said he took her home and had coffee at her place”Amelia reminds him adding her own spice.
“You know, you don’t just believe anything someone says without hearing from the second side”Elliot tells her.
“Whatever, I know this type of thing doesn’t need to be asked because he is probably gonna lie through his teeth”Amelia scoffs, Liam feels bad and curses at Claudia silently.
“So you’re saying you don’t trust him?” Elliot suddenly asked.
“I didn’t say that”Amelia defends.
“So what are you now saying, because if you don’t wanna hear from his side of the story obviously means you don’t trust him”Elliot pointed out.
“It’s not like that,”Amelia mutters.
“Then what’s it like?”Elliot asked, persistent in her speech.
Amelia felt a bit down when she thought about Andrew and the way she caught him sleeping with another girl in front of her two eyes. She sighs before looking at Elliot whose gaze was already on her.
“Well my last re…..”Amelia started but was cut off by Laila.
“What are you two talking about?”Laila curiously asked as Liam punched the air in annoyance.
“Nothing,” Amelia replies.
“Oh hey boss”Laila greets Liam from behind.
Amelia’s eyes widened as she immediately looked back to see Liam trying to hide. Laila looked confused on what was happening as Amelia glanced at Liam before looking at Elliot who had a grin on his face.
“What’s going on?”…
