Chapter 15

I woke up with my alarm on my phone and I notice Alex starting to wake up as well.

I try to move but something stops me from moving. I check what it is and it was Alex' arm on my waist.

I wake him up so I can move out and I can start getting ready for work.

"Alex... Alex, I need to get ready for work" I say as I shake him.

"A few more minutes" he says snuggling to the pillow and I.

"I have to get ready, you can still sleep" he nods as he looses his grip on me and hugs the pillow instead.

I get up and turn off the alarm and I get my outfit for the day before entering the bathroom.

.....One Hour Later.....

I decided to go with a white top, with black pants and a black blazer with black heels.

I let my hair down and I grab the locket my parents gave me for my seventeenth birthday. The locket is something I wear everyday and I bring everywhere I go.

The locket is shaped as a heart and has a picture of all of us in the family, however the other side remains blank since I haven't thought of what to put there.

I am finally ready for work and a thought stops me. I forgot to prepare my breakfast for today.

Great, now I have to go buy breakfast somewhere on the way to the office.

I get out of the bathroom to find the room empty and the bed made already.

I grab my things and I head out of the room to find Alex in the kitchen.

I place my things on the couch and I make my way towards Alex.

"Morning, what time did you get up?"

"A few minutes ago...breakfast?" He says while holding a plate with a stack of pancakes.

"Yes, please" I say as I smile and we both sit down and we start to eat.

"I could get used to this everyday" I say

"And you will" he says taking a bite of his pancake.

"What do you mean?"I ask as I look at him.

"I will be cooking for you the whole time I am here, unless I have some duties or work related things that need to be done and I can't cook"

"As tempting as it is, I can't let you do all the cooking, you also need a break"

"And I will once I go back" he says

We continue to talk until we both finished with breakfast and my phone started to ring.

I grab my phone which was right beside me and the caller ID that is written is Margaret, my assistant.

"Hello" I say as I answer the phone.

"Amelia, where are you? It's office hours already and I can't find you anywhere in this entire building" she says adn I glance at my watch.

"Shit! I am running late, I'll be there soon" I say and I immediately end the call without waiting for her reply.

"I got to go, I am running late" I say as I start to clean up the dishes until a hand stops me.

"I'll do it, you go ahead, you're already running late" Alex says and I nod.

"I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you later" I say as I kiss his cheek and I grab my things. I grab my black bag and my laptop as well as my keys by the door.

"Do you have any plans today?" I ask Alex who was now standing in front of me by the door.

"None today" he says

"I better get going now, I am running late as it is"

"Alright, see you later" he says as we both kiss and I close the door as I start to run to the elevator.

.....One Hour Later.....

I finally made it to the company while trying to run the fastest I can with my heels on.

I spot Margaret outside the building. When she spots me she rushes over to me.

"Amelia there you are! Mr. Davis is in your office right now, he has been waiting for some time now" she says

Mr. Davis is a long time client, he is a billionaire who owns lots of hotels and other buisnesses, but whenever he opens a new buisness he goes directly to us.

"Alright, thank you" I say as we both go straight to my office while discussing my schedule for the day.

Once you enter my office at the right is a desk with a white chair (which is my chair) and there are two smaller ones at the opposite side of the desk.

At the left side is my space for doing my job. There is a round table with a few chairs around it and at the other side there are two small couches opposite of each other, along with a table and a light grey carpet as well.

I enter my office and seated at the couch is Mr. Davis along with Mr. Carson across him.

Mr. Carson is my boss since I began here, however out of work we are good friends.

"Ms. Peterson is there anything else you need?" Margaret asks

"No, Margaret that will be all, thank you" I tell as her as she leaves.

I place my things on my desk and I walk over to the couch.

"Good morning Mr. Davis, Mr. Carson, I apologize for making you both wait, I am running late today"

"It's alright Amelia, Mr. Davis here has a new project for you" Mr. Carson says

"Yes, I do, I however I won't be back until next month and I must leave in a few minutes so I will make this quick" Mr. Davis says and I wonder what my next project will be.

"The project is in Canada and I need all the details hopefully by the end of the week" he says

End of the week, already!?!

"I want you to do this project as per usual, so I need you to check on the property in Canada" Mr. Davis says

"Umm, sir... I-" I was going to tell him I couldn't because Alex was here but before I can say anything else Mr. Carson speaks.

"She will gladly do it and give you a report by the end of the week"

Is he nuts!!! I can't go to Canada and leave Alex here.

"Great, I will see you in Canada, Ms. Peterson, the rest of the information that you need will be sent to you" Mr. Davis says as he gets up and leaves my office, leaving me with my boss.

As soon as he leaves I look at my boss "Ethan, what the hell did you just do!?!"

"Woah! Chill why are you even so pissed off today?" He asks as he leans back on the couch.

"Oh let me see, my friend just shipped me off to Canada when I have some things to do at home" I say as I glare at him.

"Well what do you want me to do?"

"Tell Mr. Davis that I cannot go and get someone else to go instead of me"

"Oh come on Amelia, you know Mr. Davis only wants you"

"Well that's not my problem it's yours"

"What do you even have to do at home to the point that you can't go to Canada? You're always usually free to go anywhere, anytime" he says which is actually true.

"My brother is visiting" I say as I get up and I fix my things on my desk.

"You have a brother?" He asks

"Yes" I say looking away from him.

"Since when?" He asks

"Since I was born"

"Why didn't I ever meet him?" He asks looking at me.

"He's from Italy and is staying with me until next week"

"Can't you tell your brother you will just be gone for a few days?"

"How long?" I ask frustrated with him.

"Three nights" he quickly says

"I will talk to him but I cannot guarantee it"

"Alright" he says with a nod then leaves my office and I start to do my work but I find myself getting distracted and just staring out at the view outside.
