Once I’m standing in the hallway, I pause as I have no idea where to go or what to do. I’ve never lost control of my emotions and stormed out of a meeting before. I don’t know what the protocol is for this situation.
My brow furrows as I realize this is the perfect excuse for Beckett to reprimand me. I’ve been trying to prove to him for a year now how I’m a competent engineer he can trust to get her work finished on time and in a satisfactory manner and I just ruined any progress I’d made.
Although, judging by his inability to allow me to manage the Arkville project, I hadn’t made much progress in the past year anyway.
This is most unusual. I’m in love with a man who doesn’t value my work. Perhaps my feelings are of lust and not love. The difference can be difficult to ascertain. Or, at least, those romance books Aspen makes me read each month indicate as much.
I need to research the matter. With my plan in place, I proceed to my office where I shut my door behind me ignoring Beckett’s illogical open-door rule.
I pick up my phone to dial Aspen. My sisters will know how to proceed in this matter, but do I want to fill them in on my newly discovered feelings? I hesitate with my phone in my hand. They would most likely throw a party and declare themselves matchmaking queens of the world.
Their response would not be constructive whatsoever. I return my phone to my desk and wake my computer. It’s better to conduct research on my own.
