I almost wish that the corporate mindset didn't require me to have to be so professional where I had to smile and be polite to this stupid bitch Nadia.
Sorry, I shouldn't call her a bitch. That's really not fair.
But she's sitting right here, smiling at me sweetly, as George and I basically sign exit interview papers that will mean the dissolution of the partnership between Gage Price and the kingdom of St. Albans.
And after that, it means the loss of my job. Because even if George wasn't forced by the partners to have to let me go for losing a client, I would have probably left on my own. I couldn't hold onto one bad boy prince!
Think about all the books you've read in the past. The heroine always manages to tame and reform the bad boy prince. Sometimes they even have babies.
Not so here. This prince...all he ever gave me was a pink slip.
I just don't understand the whole smile at you while stabbing you in the back mentality.
It really just doesn't make any sense how Connor pulled me out of my shell and got me to start falling in love with him, and then just as I'm close to it, just as I'm ready to let go and give into him, and just as he's about to do the same, he goes and does something like this.
I mean, listen, I know it's been three days and I should probably move on.
But Connor D'Avington is the closest I've ever come to just completely giving myself up to someone. I mean, I've had sex before. I've been in relationships before. I've even had my heart broken before.
But this is the first time I've ever honestly been able to picture myself growing old with a man.
I dunno, it just seemed right, you know?
And I feel betrayed.
"Connor regrets not being able to be here today," Nadia says with a sweet smile. "He's in the process of potentially getting married I believe, but you didn't hear that from me."
Despite everything, George is still taken by Nadia.
"Your secret is safe with us, pretty lady," he says, but I just roll my eyes. She's not trying to impress George. She's trying to rub it in my face that Connor has a life that he's moving on with after shattering mine.
And yes, he pretty much did just shatter my life.
First he fucked me so hard and so good that I think he ruined all other men for me. Like seriously, I will compare all other men and how big their cock is and how they use it to him. And they will all fail.
Second, he made me open myself up to being loved. And you know what?
It felt amazing.
But then he left.
And now I feel like shit. I don't know how or when I'll ever be able to open myself up like that again.
I mean, I can go on and on. You're probably not going to like me if I do. You'll read this and then just go write a review about me talking about how I was being whiny. Because honestly, the longer I keep talking about Connor, the more whiny I feel, you know what I mean?
It's like....
Wait.
Did you hear that?
There's something coming
I realize I've sorta been spacing this whole time and I look up and see Nadia with her mouth open and her eyes fixed on me.
What is the big deal? Oh my God, do I really look that sad?
