CHAPTER 18

AANYA'S POV.

I was driving to Sapphire's but stopped in the middle. What am I doing.? I am letting him get to me. And going to Sapphire's house will only confirm it. Fuck him. God I hate him.

No you don't. My subconscious mind said.

After all this year, am still stuck at him. Shit shit shit! Why Me? But I am not gonna let him have the satisfaction that he hurt me. I will show him why people call me a heartless bitch. Now Mr. Ford you will regret ever messing with me.

I wiped my tears and took a u turn and went straight to my apt. After reaching there I parked my car and went up at my apt. I did a little work from home itself seeing it was already 6, there was no use to go to the office. After that I decided on watching movie. I ignored all calls from Ben, Sapphire. Kaden had the audacity to even call me. I was about to throw my cell but then I remembered its my loving phone not Kaden.

I stayed up until 1 and then I finally went to sleep with only one thing on my mind, Kaden you will see the old Aanya again. And hopefully I will be able to keep it up.

Next day I woke up and decided to wear a dress that has blue flowy top and black high waist tight skirt at the bottom that ended at mid thigh. I put on a thin coat of foundation and eye liner and mascara. And I finished my look by wearing a diamond bracelet. And black heels. I gave myself a final check in the mirror and went down to eat my breakfast made by Mary.

It was pancakes. I love pancakes I ate them and left to work. I had still to talk to Ben and Sapphire about yesterday. Now that I think, yesterday the time that I spent alone actually helped me. I think I can talk to them without shedding a tear.

I entered my office building and every one stopped talking and tried working to show me.

"Alright every1 you actually need to work and not just when I see you. Now get back to work." My voice boomed on the floor and all the employees started working again. I went to the lift and waited there. I could hear whispers about how cruel I am and that today my mood is bad. Someone even went till calling me queen bitch.

Ahh! Its good to be back.! I smirked and entered the lift. After reaching my floor I went straight to my cabin and called Scarlet in for today's schedule.

"Scarlet I want todays schedule with my regular coffee."

She entered after a while placing the coffee on my table and continued informing about my schedule.

So far so good. I was busy for the whole day. I had three meeting lined up and it was going to take my whole day.

"Ma'am Mr. Ford's secretary had called to inform that Mr. Ford wants to have a meeting with you to discuss the aspects of the project." Scarlet said.

"Does it look like I have time for that today? I have other works that need to be fulfilled too. Ask her to inform Kaden that I am busy today and will inform him when is the next time that I can have meeting. Now leave and don't disturb me unless to inform me about my meeting 15 mins prior. And be ready with the briefing for the same. Is that clear?" I said with a stern voice.

"Yes ma'am" she said and left me alone.

I worked for about 2 hrs all alone. It was damn peaceful. After 2 hrs Scarlet called to inform me for my meeting. I stood up and checked my self in the mirror and exited my cabin. Scarlet came aside me and started briefing me the points I had dictated to her. She didn't make any mistakes today. Guess she got a hint of my mood today.

I had just finished my meeting and was currently sitting in my office and having lunch. Kaden had tried calling me and he even msgd me but I was too angry to even look at them. So I decided to switch off my cell and continued having lunch peacefully.

That's when my office door opened wildly. I snapped my head to the door ready to yell at whoever entered without permission. But I stopped when I realized that it was just Ben, I resumed my lunch as he came and stood opposite to me.

"What's wrong Ben? Why are you here.?" I said without looking up.

"What's wrong Ben? Like seriously, you are going to ask me that question. Where were you yesterday Aanya?" He said sounding angry. I finally looked up at him.

"I was at my apt. Why? Did something happen here?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.

"Right. So, ill make it simple for you and ask directly. What happened between you and Kaden?" He said looking serious.

" Nothing absolutely nothing. That's what happened." I answered him.

"Really.. Are you sure about it? Cause Kaden has been calling me from tomorrow and going ape shit. He told me you went to see him and after the waiter spilled water on you, you went to the washroom and didn't return for a while. He went to check and then he finds that you left. Poof! So care to explain me what exactly happened that you left?" he asked raising an eyebrow at me.

Now I was getting angry. He was going ape shit. Like he cares. " He was going ape shit? Seriously Ben. You heard what he had to say, but he left some very important details that you should know." And I told him everything from when I saw Sarah there and how she was faking our friendship and the water spilling on me till when I came back to see Kaden and Sarah kissing full on. I left the part when I left crying and met Cameron and all. I didn't need a mad Ben right now.

"So this is reason I wasn't answering any of you guys call or replying to your msgs. I needed alone time with myself. Now you tell me, who should go whole ape shit mad at. I was there for business not to see his PDA with Sarah. You know I was going a little soft on every one around. So I have decided to get the old Aanya back who didn't need a guy to take decisions or any other influence. So here I am." I told him. Till now Ben hadn't spoken a word. I was getting worried. This is Ben we are talking about. He cant be quite.

"Ben you are scaring me dude. Say something. It is very unusual of you to stay quite." I tried to lighten the mood.

"Wow. All that happened to you in just 2 hrs? That can only happen to you. So Sarah is back, and Kaden was being stupid enough to kiss her. And that's when you left. Now answer me truly Baby Boo did you cry?" he asked me. I knew this was coming. But I just hoped to avoid it that's what ill do.

"Hey you have to try this pasta, Ben. Its yummy. Come here have a bite." I said avoiding meeting his gaze.

"Really Aanya, I get it you are trying to avoid that question but Boo you could at least try to be more natural and come up with a better topic. If you don't want to tell me its ok, I wont force you Boo." He said with smirk on his face. I sighed in relief.

"Thank you Ben. I really don't want to talk about it. I love you. And don't call me Baby Boo. What does it even mean? You and your stupid names for me." I said and went to hug him.

"Well ill take a leave as I can see you are coping with it on your on. And I always give you weird name so get over it already. But Baby Boo, just remember one thing, when ever you want to talk to me or Sapphire we will always be there to listen." He said and kissed my forehead and left. A small smile made its way on my face when he did that.

Rest of my went by attending meetings and stuff. So by the end of day I was so tired that I just went to sleep as soon as I got home.
