Chapter 33
Eden’s POV
“I’m sorry please,”
“What exactly are you sorry for?”
“Hubh
I swallowed heavily with my lips pressed to each other at the sound of his voice, I trembled with fear with no clue of what to say. A sense of dread settled in
My mouth struggled to voice out words,
His looks were fierce his eyes burning in anger.
My skin burns even with clothes on at every stamp of look he left on it.
I was burning up on the spot I was seated, the wrath of his anger was consuming me even before he pronounced judgment.
“So, you can’t speak now,”
“I’m sorry,” I mouthed silently.
He twisted the key and started up the car, he drove slowly.
We arrived at the office complex parking lot at exactly nine am, all the other coworkers were already seated on their respective seats with just a few people moving into the office.
He leaned his back in the backrest of the car seat and sigh heavily.
“I’m sorry, I promise you that there is nothing between Trevor and I,” I pleaded.
“How do you explain him picking your calls and sleeping over at your place?”
“It was all a silly mistakes and I’m sorry, I take full responsibility,”
I stretched out my hand and touched his hand.
“I’m sorry,” I whispered sincerely.
“It’s okay.”
We went into the office space
and
got to work.
Samantha was already seated by the time I got there.
“Hey Eden,”
Hello Sam, good morning, how was your weekend?”
“My weekend was fine, I went clubbing with my friends, you know I think you need to try clubbing to get you refreshed. from work,”
“By the way you look so stressed,”
“Is it just that my weekend has been a busy one,” I winced.

Chapter 33
“I didn’t see you at my friend’s wedding.”
Hey!
“Pardon me, I’m sorry that I didn’t make it, how was it?”
“It was fun–filled.”
Oh wow!
“I’m sure you had a lot of fun.”
“Yes I did.”
Sam went back to what she was doing and I sat in silence and confusion, I wasn’t sure what to think of.
E
My life is messed up with no direction. I thought the only sanity I have right now is my job that practically will pay my bills. even in the heat of my chaotic life I will never afford to lose my job..
Ugh…I sighed in frustration.
“Hey what’s up with you?”
“Take it easy on yourself,”
“You know, whatever it is, don’t let it get hard on you, because life is simple, why complicate it?” She showed concern.
“Whatever it is I’m sure you will walk past it,”
I sat there with all of my attention on her, I was surprised how concerned she was seeing me in that state.
She walked to where I was sitting and tapped my shoulder. “You only live once, so be happy darling.”
Her words gave me a sense of calm and relief.
“Why do you want to be an assistant? when clearly you are a therapist,”
“Me therapist,” she chuckled, pointing at herself.
“I’m sure I will end up being the patient,” a grin played on her face.
“I will agree to be a therapist on just one condition,”
“And what is that condition,”
“If all my patients will be male, like good looking males, because like men a lot,”
“You silly,”
“Didn’t you see how I have been throwing passes at Mr Hunter but his mind seems to be somewhere else,” she confessed.
“Yea he is engaged to get married,”
“You know I’m not talking about Miss Quinn,”
I swallowed the water I was drinking so hard.
“Hmmm…who are you talking about?”

Chapter 33
“You think I don’t have eyes, I see how he always wants you around him, how you both steal glances at each other, he listens
to you even more than he does Miss Quinn an…”
“And what?”
“You know what just forget it.”
“And for the records I don’t steal glances at him.”
“Tell that to the blind,” she winked playfully and went back to her desk.
We both smiled.
I think Sam was right. I need to be happy.
My conversation with Sam kinda cheered my mood, I don’t know how but it does.
It felt like the weight of guilt was lifted off my shoulders.
I set my laptop and began to work, we both got busy with work until my phone notification sounded.
I checked it was a message from Trevor that reads.
“Last night was a forever to remember one for me, I enjoyed every bit of it…”
I didn’t wait to finish reading the message before deleting it.
“Last night was a mistake that I wouldn’t want to repeat itself again,” I said in my
head.
“No ma’am i’m sorry, but Mr Hunter is not willing to see anyone
I heard Samantha’s voice explaining to someone.
I peeped from where I was sitting to see who she was talking to.
I stood up and went towards their direction.
“Are you out of your senses? Who do you think you are?,”
“Hey Sam, what is happening here?”
“I was just explaining to miss Quinn here that the boss has ordered me not to let anyone into his office,”
“He did?” I asked with my eyes open wide in surprise.
“Yes he did called me earlier to make that clear,”
“Miss Quinn I’m so sorry, let me personally inform him that you’re here,” I pleaded with my palm clapped together.
“You know it will affect Sam’s work if you go in on him unannounced,” I added.
Excuse you, do I look like I care?” Miss Quinn pushed me aside and walked head–on towards his office.
I looked at her as she walked away with my mouth wide open.
“Like, what was that for,” I muttered to myself.

I leaned my elbow on the desk in front of me and my palm opered around my chin with my fingers spread on my cheek and wondered for a while about what just happened.
“Hey Eden, you seemed disturbed.”
“Don’t worry about what just happened back there,”
“I have my own way of handling nuisance like her,” Sam whispered into my ears..
I chuckled at the sound of that.
