Third Time's The Charm

4. Sleepover

A few days go by, thanks to the charms Emma gave me, these days went by peacefully.

It was still difficult to wrap my head around the fact that reincarnation exists and I was some demon prince's girlfriend in my previous life.

Moving on, although Gregg did drag me to his workplace, that is, to Nicole's office and made me do most of his work like making and selecting designs for jewelry, dresses, bags, etc. He looked happy to be done early and hang out with Chris.

While working with Gregg, I had a few encounters with Ivan, we became friends I think. He's nice and respectful and often helps me with the simple chores of the office.

He told me a bit about himself, stuff like he has a little sister, his mother was Italian and his father Greek, he likes cooking because of his father and he speaks Greek better than Italian.

We have small talks often, although he does question about Gregg a lot.

"Soo... your friend over there.." Ivan gestures towards Gregg who was discussing something with Nicole with papers lying around the desk in her office, "you two seem close.." he states.

I blink and look at him, "We are, we have known each other since childhood." I tell the truth.

I get a feeling he doesn't really like Gregg but I decide not to pry in case he gets offended.

"So.. you guys hang out often?"

"I guess you can say that."

"I see.." he looks down deep in thought.

I tilt my head. Did I say anything wrong? I only told the truth, there wasn't a single lie in what I said.

"Well, I'm happy for you two." He surprises me with his over-friendly happiness.

"I.. uhm.. thank you?" I say not knowing what else to reply to that.

He looks a bit irritated?  with my reply and nods. "Well I should get going." He says with his Italian accent and walks out.

I tilt my head in confusion, as someone who could easily read people's emotions and thoughts, he was a bit difficult. He never showed any emotion on his face, I don't think I have heard him laugh either.

I shrug and remove him from my train of thoughts. I should focus.

I see Ivan walk to Nicole, Gregg looks between the two and starts walking towards me while they both talk about something.

"So what you up to?" The red head asks me.

"Nothing much, what about you? Did you and Nicole finally decide on the new building interior?" I ask.

"Yea we were discussing it before I was rudely interrupted..." he says sadly.

I tilt my head at his reply. "What do you mean?"

"Well I don't know, Achilles hates me for who knows what reason."

Huh? Why? He's always so nice to me...

But obviously I've known Gregg much longer than Ivan so I believed him.

"Maybe he's in a bad mood today?" I try to comfort him.

"Maybe. Anyways since Nicole is already the boss of here and school will be over in 6 months, I'm thinking of opening a tattoo place, what do you think?"

I knew he was saying something about tattoos but I couldn't help but see Nicole and Ivan laugh about something and they went out of the room and disappear somewhere else.

Are they going to hook up? Wait what kind of a question is that?!
And why do I care? He can have sex with anyone he wants, it's none of my business. Get yourself together Alice.
