Chapter 58 Jealousy

• Brandon had really outdone himself this time. Before, when we argued, he would come by the office and give me annoyed and strange looks, but this time, he didn't even do that. It's as if he had disappeared off the face of the earth. To be completely honest, I was getting tired of it. I know I haven't always acted like the most mature person in the world, and I understand that my reasons may not have been well-founded, but once he showed me kindness and a willingness to help, I realized that he had always been there for me and I decided to give him a chance.
• But Brandon's attitude had been completely childish. It's not that I had been treating him poorly all the time, but he had arbitrarily decided that everything we had shared in these past months simply wasn't worth it. As if all this time spent together was just a waste.
• Even with all that, when I received the invitation to Annie's birthday around this time, I have to say I wasn't surprised, but for the first time in several days... I didn't want to see him. That was the reality. Of course, she had to throw a big party, she couldn't do anything simple, because she always goes all out. With everything going on with her wedding, the projects I was working on, including the one in Aspen, and Brandon's disappearance, I've been biting my nails out of anxiety.
