I was slightly annoyed that Oliver was ignoring me just because I went against him. Then I thought two can play at this game! I started ignoring him too. He took us to a restaurant that served traditional Japanese breakfast food. The place was ancient and was maintained well. The surroundings was warm and refreshing with many trees and plants surrounding us. I was surprised that a place can exist in the heart of Tokyo. We ate silently, with Oliver looking at me every now and then, but didn't saying anything.
"You still want to play this game?" I asked him annoyed.
"What game?" He asked with a quizzical look.
"Ignoring." I said.
"That's not a game." He said.
"Why don't we talk about the problems rather than ignoring each other?" I asked him.
"Fine." He said as he wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"Tell me about what you didn't like and I will tell you what I didn't like." I said.
"You pulled your hands away from me and also you wanted to roam alone in the Hotel."
"Firstly, I am not a child anymore. I can roam alone, I go to work by myself and before meeting you I do everything alone-" he cut my sentence off and said.
"But now you are my girlfriend, I don't like you being alone." He said.
I sighed. "I really appreciate that, but I would like my own space too."
He frowned. "You think I am suffocating you?"
"It's not about being suffocated. Sometime, I want to have a me time." I explained.
"You can.." he said.
"How? When you are behaving like this?"
His mouth opened and shut like he was at lost for words.
"Okay." He said finally. "You want space, you get space."
"Really?" I was surprised that he actually said that. I thought we will be arguing a lot about this.
"Yea." He said rubbing his neck nervously.
I give him a suspicious look and tested the water. "So, you should be fine with Mia and I going out together without you and Grayson tomorrow."
As soon as I said that he looked up quickly.
"What?"
"You heard it, right." I said.
"Okay." He said too calmly than his action.
"Okay?" I confirmed.
"Yea." He said shrugging it and I smiled.
He give me kind of a guilty look, but quickly moved to another topic.
Today, Oliver just decided to join us in the workshop. Noah asked him to come to his office for a while at first, but Oliver kept rejecting his offer and I had to made him go and he rolled his eyes and said he will be right back soon. I was waiting for George and Audrey to show up and I see Madison of all the people entering. She was wearing a white long sleeve shirt with a black trousers and black heels. She stride in confidently and flipped her hair as she sat down. Just having the two of us in the room was awkward, well for me. I pretended to be interested at the magazines and books on the table.
"Last time I heard you were working for Stacy." She said and when I looked at her she was not looking at me, but was looking at her perfectly manicured nails.
I didn't say anything, but pretended to not hear anything.
"Are you ignoring me?" She screamed as I heard her chair squeaked as she stood up and push the chair back.
This time when I looked up to see her she was marching towards me with anger clear in her eyes.
"I don't have to answer anything to you." I said to her.
"Your that boyfriend got you the job?" She smirked. "Who would have thought a good girl from college will do bad things."
I was offended by her words and before I can answer her, someone else interrupted us. It was Audrey.
"You are still the bad girl from college?"
"Excuse me?" Madison said scowling. "Do we even know each other?"
"We don't have to know each other to know how bad you are to people." Audrey smiled, but it doesn't reach her eyes.
Madison huffed.
"You should watch your behaviour. You are being unprofessional and when your company hears this, you think they will give you another opportunity to represent them?"
And that's when Audrey hit the spot and Madison slapped her. I was stunned, Audrey just smiled.
"Stop all of this." I screamed at Madison. "Stop being mean to people. She just said the truth and you know it too." I said looking at Audrey to see one side of her face is red with a hand-print.
"How dare you." Madison screamed and she came towards me.
"What is with you? Can't face the truth. Even in college you can't stand people who are different and who does better than you." I scowled. "Isn't that the reason why you constantly humiliated Stacy and I? We didn't even do anything to you."
"Didn't do anything?" She mocked. "You two were College's goody two shoes and in spite of that Theo liked you." She spat the last part with anger in her voice.
"What?" I asked confused.
She laughed sarcastically. "Everyone knew he liked you. We were best friends since elementary school and you stepped in. I don't even know what he saw in you. He was always looking for you."
I didn't retort back this time because I didn't know what to say.
"He stopped talking to me when he found out that I was bullying you." She said. "Can you believe it? He broke our years of friendship for someone who he just met."
"I am sorry to hear that." I said genuinely.
"I don't need your crappy sympathy." She said annoyed.
"No one will give you one." Audrey said coming forward. "It is of course that the guy liked her and not you. You are such a B****"
Madison glared at her and I stepped in between them just in case Madison decide to hurt Audrey and I was right because as soon as I stepped in I felt her pushed me so roughly to the side that I hit my head on the table. I gasped first and then winced as the pain came next and soon I felt liquid running down from the side of my head. I stood up quickly and my body wobble, and I quickly tried to hold onto anything that I can before I fall...
Next thing I know someone was holding me steady and there was loud noises and gasped coming.
