Billionaire Nick
Chapter 6: On Her Mind
Caroline Rebekah whistled while eyeing the small basket in my hand the moment I stepped into the room.
"Boss presents?" She smirked.
I pressed my lips into a thin line to stop myself from laughing.
"Yeah.And just so you know, I wasn't dreaming about him in the club.He was really there.And these," I pointed to the basket, "are probably to make up for being rude while hiring me.”
"Sure." She smirked.
"Seriously, Rebekah.It's just chocolates.So relax.They're pretty expensive, but still."
Her smirk was wiped away and she raised a brow.
"Nick Sinclair gave you chocolates?"
"Yeah"
"Oh my God!"
Her eyes grew big for a second.
"Why? What's wrong?"
"Nick and his chocolates live in a completely different dimension.
He barely shares them with anyone.’ "What?"
I frowned.
"Trust me.If there's anything that manwhore is crazy about more than women, it's his sweets.’ "Oh? And then, another smirk formed on her lips.
"You sure he's just playing boss?"
My mind couldn't help but go back to our encounter in the elevator.
He'd been so close that I could easily shut my eyes and drown myself in his intoxicating aura.
Even if he was just playing with the emergency button, his action stirred something inside me.
Oh God! What is wrong with me? I blinked when Rebekah cleared her throat.
"Uh-let's not think too much about it’ With that, I headed straight for the bathroom, got out of my drenched clothes and changed into a pink t-shirt and black denims.
"Where are you going?"
Rebekah asked when I stepped out of the bathroom.
"Coffee shop, I muttered.
"You still work there?"
She frowned.
"Yeah.Why not?"
"Isn't Sinclair paying you?"
"He will, maybe.
But it's only till his old assistant Penny comes back.
Then I'll go back to interning at Mr.Andrews’ and I won't have a real job until after graduation.
So this coffee shop money is the only constant"
"But you must be so tired right now” I shrugged.
"No, I'm good"
"You know, Care,’ she got up from the bed and engulfed me in a bear hug, "you're the strongest woman I've ever known.
Just know that this time will pass and you will be happy again"
She pulled back and gave me her brightest smile.
I gave her a small nod.
"Thank you, but I'm just tired, Reb.Not in a shitty mood.I don't need a pep talk."
"Well" she frowned, "I'm PMSing, so suck it up"
Chuckling, I waved at her and walked out of the door, pondering over her words.
She said I'll be happy again.
I wanted to believe her but I knew better.
I'll never be the happy girl I used to be.
Shaking my head to clear my thoughts, I made my way to the coffee shop, which was just a few minutes' walk from the campus.
"Look who decided to show up.’ An annoyingly whiny voice rang in my ears the moment I stepped behind the cash counter at the coffee shop.
"Cashy"' I spoke, trying to pull a forced smile on my face.
Her lipstick-smudged full lips lifted into a frown as she pulled the chewing gum out of her mouth, aimed it in a bin with her bare hands and wiped her fingers on her apron.
"Caroline"She gave me a fake smile.
"Owing to your short term memory, it's Cathy"
"Sure" I shrugged.
"Whatever you say, Cashy’ Now, don't blame me for name-calling.She was literally a gold digger—flirting with every guy that stepped into the coffee shop in leathers or business suits while taking their orders.
She would stand so close up to their tables and bend over, showing off her assets, and then apologize for accidentally throwing herself on them.
If I were them, I'd be so embarrassed I would probably never show up here again.
But then, some of them did come back.
She frowned at what I'd just called her and opened her mouth to probably throw some lame insult, but then someone called her name.
She went away, huffing.
I stifled a laugh and picked up a writing pad and pen to take orders.
It was a busy evening as the customers kept coming in so me and the other waitress, Ira, kept serving them.
She was a raven-haired beauty, a year or two younger than me.
She'd been working here since a year ago, right after she graduated from high school, and had been saving up for college ever since.
