Chapter 41: I feel pain

Andrea's POV

I was in the room when Xander knocked. "come in"

He enters and looks at me directly. "lets have a date" my eyes widened with mixed excitement.

I just nodded while smiling at Xander. I feel blessed to have met him. i feel safe when he is with me but there's one thing that confuses me. There seems to be something missing between the two of us.

He took his car keys and walked towards his car. I took my handbag and put on my sunglasses. I got in Xander's car and we immediately went to the mall.

I know that the owner of this mall is Dreb. The man when my company was kidnapped. But I just don't really know if he is really to blame for the ship's explosion.

I was able to regain myself when the car door suddenly opened. I did not realize that we were here. Xander just stared at me as he held out his hand to me. I grabbed the seatbelt and immediately reached for his hand. I got out of the car as he held my hand as we walked.

I feel like I'm changing and I feel awkward. Everyone was watching us. We're like celebrities walking in a red carpet, as we walk I still notice people looking at the two of us.

I just ignored them and walked very confident. We stopped at an ice cream stall and Xander bought.

"what do you want?" he asked me

I pointed on the cookies and cream flavor. He nodded and ordered, I sit and waited for him.

I was sitting now and I heard people shouting at the nearby ice cream stall. I immediately turned around and saw a woman and a man. Their so sweet ang lovable to look at. Even if they just turn their backs I feel they are something.

The woman sat down and I immediately turned to face Xander. He even lined up and ordered ice cream. When he ordered, he immediately put the ice creams on our table.

I started eating but in the middle of my meal Xander just stared at my face and seemed to be laughing.

"what are you looking at?" I asked him seriously but he laughed.

He leaned towards me and wiped my mouth with tissue. My eyes widened, why didn't he just tell me so I could wipe it myself.

And just in time, I saw Dreb carrying beautiful red roses. He was looking at me now, we were staring but I averted my eyes. He immediately walked towards his girlfriend.

I turned around and found out that they were the sweet couple earlier. He was happy with the woman but why did I seem jealous? "what am I thinking?" I said to myself while just looking at the two of them. he handed the red roses to the woman and the people shouted.

I immediately turned my attention back to my ice cream. "Andrea?"

"ouh?" I looked at Xander. He frowned at my ice cream. I immediately looked at my ice cream and saw that it was scattered on the table. I didn't realize that I had tilted the ice cream container so it was thrown away.

Xander immediately called the waiter and took a tissue and cleaned the table. I immediately stood up, Xander just staring at me.

"Let's go to the restaurant, I want rice" He nodded and ran out of ice cream. We ended up at a restaurant in the mall. I immediately sat down on a 2 seated table on the side.

Xander went to the bathroom so I sat down first. I immediately looked at the menu and chose something to eat. As I  choose food suddenly Dreb and his girlfriend arrived.

I covered my face with the menu and acted that  I was choosing food. I glanced over and saw them sitting. I just sighed and went back to sanity.

"Waiter?"

"Waiter"

I was surprised when we called the waiter together. I looked at him and so did he. A waiter came to me and also to Dreb.

I ordered, when I finished ordering Xander and I waited another 20 minutes before eating. The two of us talked first. I glanced in the direction of Dreb who is now also talking about his girlfriend. He even made his girlfriend laugh so I also laughed even though  Xander didn't say something  funny.

"Did I say something funny Andrea?" I stopped laughing and looked at Xander seriously. I could not answer but I was saved when our food arrived.

"here's your order mam" said the waiter and placed our order on the table. "you're my Savior " I said to myself while trying not to laugh.

We started eating but Dreb could not be erased from my mind. I do not know what is happening to me but I feel, I am hurt by what I see now.

I just kept eating until I was done. I drank some water and left the restaurant. Xander went to the bathroom first and I just waited for him outside.

While I was waiting, I saw Dreb come out first but not with his girlfriend. I just took my phone out of the bag and started scrolling on Facebook.

I just noticed he  got close to me and he almost got close when Xander suddenly came. I don't know but I'm waiting for him to catch up with me. I want him to come to me. I do not know but I want to approach him.

I immediately walked to the parking lot and got in the car. I was already in the car but my mind and feelings were in someone else. I tried to erase it but really did not want to.

"Is there a problem Andrea?" Xander asked me sharply I was restless.

I just shook my head and just looked out the car window. I just looked around and sighed. "What really happened to me before? How did I get to Xander's place?" I kept thinking as I looked out the car window.

"we're here Andrea" Xander said because he knew I was just stunned in the car. I immediately looked at him and got out of the car immediately. I immediately entered the house and went upstairs towards my room.

I was already in the bedroom and went to bed. I sluggishly walked towards the bed and rubbed my face. I also took the pillow and covered my face.

"heart beats fast, color and promises

How to be brave, "I started singing as tears welled up in my eyes.

As my tears flowed I suddenly felt drowsy. Slowly I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

It was 7 am in the morning when I woke up in my bed. I thought about what happened yesterday but I was still hurt. I don't know if it's just jealousy or whatever.

I yawned before finally going to the bathroom. when I finished bathing and I immediately went to my vanity dresser and used a blower to dry my hair.

I used light make up today, because I am about to enter the office and I need to look good. I was immediately released from the room when I finished tidying up.

I looked at Xander arranging our breakfast. I stared at him, knowing and feeling that Xander was a good person. I know if he won't hurt me and I know if he is always here next to me.

I smiled as I went down the stairs. It also makes me smile when I see it. "good morning" he said and I also greeted.

I sat down and started eating the food he had prepared. Xander cooks well so I ate a lot. even though I knew if I would gain weight, I just let it go and just ate what I ate.

When we finished eating, I said goodbye to Xander and I might be late for my meeting. He just nodded, I kissed him on the cheeks first and left.

I started the engine and start to drive. I was on my way to the company when I remembered Dreb. I want to sell some perfumes on his mall. I know he knew a lot about my product because he had an experience being a chairman on the company.

It gives me an idea and straight to the company. My new secretary greet me and accompany me to the conference room. All the board members are waiting for me.

I entered the conference room and they looked at me like they waited for me for years.

"I'm sorry for being late" i said and sit down.

"it's okay Chairwoman but we are confused. You've never been late in your whole life" it shocked me when I heard one of them say.

I just ignored it and start to listen on the presentation.

"I present you, the new Secret night perfume" there's a video about the product. The video is good and it was made by the one and only designer of the company. Lendon.

They all said that Lendon is the only designer in the company and he never fail me to empress. But this time, I don't like the designed. I looked at it but I didn't like it.

"stop" I said that cause them to be shocked.

"Excuse me chairwoman?" Lendon was shocked too and I think he's a bit disappointed.

"I don't like the designs" all board members looked at me.

"chairwoman? Is that really you? This is Lendon our designer for almost 10 years."

"I know, but I'm finding something. And I can see Lendon can find what I'm finding right now"

Lendon looked at me closely and seriously. His eyes widened and he said "aha! I knew it"

I was confused and looked at him.

"I found what's missing"

"what is it?" I asked him and looked at him seriously.

"love"

It shocked me and I knew he is right. The love on the design isn't there, that's what I'm finding.

"you're right, love is missing on your design Lendon"

"I have a better idea, thank you chairwoman. I will do my best to present something new." he smiled and he asked permission to leave.

The meeting is finished, I was sitting here in the swivel chair as I remember Dreb sitting here.

"I think I miss you"
