Chapter 57 Annie

• James walks out with the files and I follow behind saying nothing. We walk to my office and he drops the files on my table then turns to look at me. He looks like he wants to say something and I wish he would just say it. Heck, he should just leave, I don’t want to see him. I have a lot to deal with as it is with this new job and how to please the board members and find a way to go out on a date with Collins.
• “You look gorgeous. No matter what anyone has to say, remember that you are very capable of running this company. You’ve got this.”
• I was too stunned to speak or even react and before I could get myself together I hear the door close. It felt really nice to hear him say that and encourage me even as things are between us but then again he might just be saying it to get me back so I wouldn’t go on the date with Collins whichever one it is it makes me smile, at least someone said something nice to me and believed in me today. I frown realizing that I was beginning to smile like the teenage girl I was whenever we were together. There’s no room for James in my heart. I just need to focus on work.
