Hacking into my Hyper-linked Heart

Chapter 28- I'm giving up on you

Once everyone ate and started to throw their wrappers away I did the same with mine even though it was full of fish and chips. I walked glumly towards my task and started to finish the rest of the pile. From lunch till seven in the evening we all had worked on our individual tasks and were happy to see we all have finished. We had cleaned everything up the only thing left was to buy new furniture and I am sure we would easily be able to do that tomorrow.

"I am famished." Leah sighed.

"Shall we all go back to ours?" Sally asked Holly and Leah.

Holly and Leah nodded their heads in agreement.

"Can we get going? I'm really tired." I muttered tiredly. Even after the whole awesome wild night, I still feel miserable especially with the choice I have made. First thing I need to do is let Ethan know I won't be working anymore. I know I will be jobless but it is better than seeing Ethan five days a week and not being able to be with him. Okay, I might not have been with him before but at least I thought I had a chance but now all my hopes were diminishing away.

"You look miserable." Holly stated as we picked ourselves up and made our way downstairs.

"Yeah well going through all the files will make anyone look miserable." I tried to laugh it off. I didn't want to burden them with my stupid love life especially after what we had to endure which was pure torture.

Once we made it outside the building Holly realised we didn't call a taxi, "I shall call the taxi for us." Holly waved her phone at us before walking few steps away from us. I slumped down on the steps, I just needed my bed I felt so exhausted. "So Leah did you get the number of that sexy looking guy....I forgotten his name."

"Sam? Well I gave him my number." Leah stated trying to keep her excitement under control but I knew she was busting to tell us every detail; it was only matter of time before Leah engrossed us about her new sexy stranger.

"What about you Myra? Did you give your number to your guy?" Sally asked me.

"OMG! Is my hearing okay? Did I just overhear you ask Myra about a guy?" Holly asked shocked.

"Oh, it's nothing." I waved them off.

"Myra you have never hooked up with a guy before so this is like hot new gossip." Leah said with a smirk.

"Do we really need to talk about this right now?" I asked tiredly.

"Yes!" The three girls chorused as they looked at me with excitement.

Holly quickly made her way to me and sat down as she put her arms around my shoulder, "So Myra who did you make out with?"

"Yeah Myra, who?" Leah asked as she followed Holly and sat beside me on the other side as she waited impatiently.

"I didn't really know them to answer your questions." I muttered but I made a big mistake relieving that it was not one guy I made out with.

"Them?" Asked Leah in disbelief.

"OMG! I am so proud of you." Holly screamed in excitement putting her hand up for a high five.

"I am not giving you a high five." I muttered.

"Don't leave me hanging Myra." Holly narrowed her eyes at me.

I sighed in frustration before slamming my hand against hers. "We danced, we kissed and that's the end." I said in annoyance.

"With how many guys?" Leah asked curiously.

"Two." I muttered as I covered my face with my hands in embarrassment.

"Aww, that is so cute." Holly gushed as she pinched my cheeks.

At that moment I heard someone clear their throat which caused us to look their way. Yes I know my life is a disaster, that's the reason why Ethan Cole was standing at the bottom of the stairs looking at us with an expression I couldn't read. He gazed at me but I looked away breaking the intense eye contact. I just hope he didn't hear a word we were talking about, but then again why should I care? I was giving up on him so honestly it shouldn't even matter.

"Hey Ethan." Holly waved at him cheerfully.

I stared down at my hands as they all interacted. All I wanted to do was go home, shower and get in bed. As soon as the taxi stopped in front of us my face brightened with happiness that I was going to go home at last but unfortunately my happiness soon ended when Ethan asked to speak to me. I stopped abruptly as soon as I heard him say my name in his soothing alluring deep voice. I sighed before turning to see him standing with his hands in his pocket as he stood their awkwardly.

"I need to talk to you."

"Can't we talk later?" I asked in hope that maybe he would let me go home.

"No!"

"Excuse me lady are you getting in? Cause I have few other jobs to do!" The taxi driver snapped at me.

Ethan walked past me elegantly as he went to the taxi driver and handed him cash, "This should be more than you earn in a night. Ladies I will drop Myra as soon as I can." Ethan said smoothly to the girls.

I watched the taxi drive down the road, thinking I could have been sitting in that damn car and would have been near my destination; my luxury bed.

I couldn't help but flare up in anger I folded my arms as I stood their annoyed waiting for Ethan to speak. However instead of talking he stood there with his hands in his pocket as he looked at me waiting for some reaction. Oh he did get a reaction, I stomped my foot in frustration before shrieking, "Why have you stopped me from going home? So you could torture me more because I trashed your office? Well let me enlighten you it was just a damn office it wasn't someone's feeling I was crushing with my bare hands." I started to walk towards him, "Just because you're a billionaire and have some big fancy company does not allow you to treat me like this." I stopped in front of him as I pointed my finger at him. "You listen to me carefully I am not going to take your shit anymore. I am done; I am giving up on you. Now, if you excuse me I am really tired so I would like you to leave me alone so I could get home." I flicked my hair back before turning around to walk towards home until I could find a taxi.

After walking few step the words Ethan spoke made me stop suddenly, "You did crush someone's feeling with your bare hands."

I turned around to face him in confusion. "What?!" I yelled.

"I said you did crush someone's feeling with your bare hands." He spoke louder.

I kicked a stone that was next to me in annoyance, "What is wrong with you?" I demanded. " How did I crush anyone's feeling with my bare hands? Unless you see your office as someone then you need to get your head checked." I scoffed at him.

"I don't care about the damn office!" Ethan shouted. His eyes were blazing up a storm as he ran his finger through his hair.

"Yeah right!" I snorted not believing his words.

"You honestly think that I kept you behind to talk to you about the stupid office?" He asked in irritation.

I looked at him more confused than ever, "Well why you kept me behind then?" I asked softly, leaving the screaming match for now.

"I need to tell you something." He muttered.

I took a step forward to hear him clearly, "Tell me what?"

"I think we should go somewhere more private." He stated, he took his car keys and guided me to his car.

I was feeling uncomfortable sitting so near him in a closed confined space, I know that I have been in this situation but I was trying to give up on this jerk who is depriving me from my bed. I closed my eyes as I sat back in my seat to feel more comfortable however I ended up falling asleep in Ethan's car.
