A few days later

"Get your ass up!", Jacky mutters hitting me with a pillow.

"No I'm not going!", I whine pulling the covers over my head.

"You have missed to many days now it's time to make a come back!", Jacky scolds taking the covers off of me throwing them to the floor.

I haven't been to work in a of couple days. I've told my father I caught a cold, but in reality what I have is my first heartbreak.

"Fine", I huff getting off of the bed going into my closest throwing on a shirt with slacks.

"Who are you and what have you done with Aleysa?", Jacky furrows her brows scanning me.

"What are you talking about? I'm Aleysa"

"The Aleysa I know is into fashion and won't ever dare look like a waitress of some sort", Jacky crosses her arms across her chest.

Since my break up with Jason. I've haven't really been myself. I have no energy whatsoever. All I have done lately is be at home crying my eyes out.

It's hard not to cry every time I think of him I feel sadness swoop me up. He hasn't reached out to me either and I don't have the balls to reach out to him after all he did dump me.

"Jacky I miss him", I sigh.

Jacky knows what happened with the whole drama between Jason, Liam, and I. She agrees I should of told Liam to stop flirting with me even though we're childhood friends. However she always agrees with me that Jason took this to far breaking up with me when in reality I didn't do shit. I'm just to nice.

"Show him what he's missing out on Aleysa!", Jacky grumbles.

"Your right", I respond feeling an idea approach my mind.

I open my closet again pulling out my pink dress I bought at Paris and my ivory coat I got from Italy.

I curled my hair into loose curls and did my makeup.

"How do I look?"

"Damn girl! Hot! Now that's the Aleysa I know", Jacky winks a huge grin on her face.

"Do you think he'll realize what he lost?", I mumble.

"Aleysa, he's just pissed I'm sure you don't lose love for someone in a couple of days.. however you shouldn't focus on that you need to be tough and treat him like he's treated you these couple of days!", Jacky firmly says.

"Ignore?"

"Yes! You ignore him all day!", she responds.

After a good while and pep talk from Jacky. I realized she's absolutely right. I'm over here heartbroken while most likely Jason is not as sad as me.

I know I messed up, but seriously this punishment was to extreme. I understand if I cheated or flirted back then it sounds fair, but I'm actually innocent here.

"What would I do with you", I smile at Jacky.

"I know, you would most likely rot and die", Jacky chuckles.

"Shut up!"

"You feeling better?", my father asks peering at me.

"Yes I am", I smile.

"Liam has been asking for you almost everyday"

"Oh", I baldly respond.

"Just oh?", my dad raises a brow.

"I mean I was sick what else was I suppose to do"

"Remember you knew him first and he's on our social level", my dad grumbles.

Here we go

"I have work to do", I roll my eyes walking away from him.

As I make my way to my office to pick up contracts for our new recruits. I spot Alessandra my way.

Great

I look straight ahead pretending I didn't see her at all. Alessandra ignores me not saying word walking passed me.

I feel a relief not having to deal with her bullshit today. Maybe Jacky knock some sense into her with those blows.

"Alright this is your contracts make sure you sign and turn them in to me or my secretary Ruth", I instruct.

I am currently outside of the building consulting a orientation to Grey Global's new recruits.

"Alright you are free to go have a nice day everyone"

"Your such a business gal at only 17", Liam splutters coming out of the blue.

"When you have a father like mine you must be", I respond.

"Your father has mentioned to me about your little boyfriend", he steers the subject.

"What has he told you?", I raise a brow.

"Nothing much just how he's a poor orphan trash who's after your money"

I can feel my anger rise up quickly as those disgusting words slip out of his mouth about Jason.

"He's not don't listen to my father!", I grumble rolling my eyes.

"Don't be mad but I did research on him and found a lot of shocking information", Liam crosses his arms across his chest.

Shit

I can feel my palms become sweaty and my stomach turn into a knot fearing that Liam might know about Jason's secret.

"What do you mean?", I play dumb.

"He's a criminal who's has a juvenile record and lets not forget how he's has murdered people", Liam scoffs.

No no he knows

"Look Liam if your my real friend you can't tel no one about this! Especially my father!", I firmly say pointing my finger at him.

"What the fuck you know?!", Liam has baffled expression on his face.

"Yes I do and let me just say this Jason is nothing of how those pigs of the system say"

"Aleysa what have you gotten yourself into?", Liam shakes his head.

"Liam promise me you won't say nothing about this! Please keep it a secret for me!", I desperately beg.

If Liam tells my father about Jason's real background he's going to flip. He'll fire Jason and who knows what else.

Liam sighs before saying, "fine for you I promise I won't say anything".

"Thank you Liam", I huff feeling my heartbeat beat slower more calmly now.

"But please reconsider your relationship with him", Liam advises.

Suddenly Jason steps out of the building quickly glancing at me and I quickly step away from Liam, but Jason averts quickly looking straight ahead showing no emotion whatsoever.

My heart starts thump faster by his presence. All I want to do is jump in his arms and feels those smooth lips of his, but sadly I can't.

As much as I want to try and fix things between us he did make his choice. No matter how much it hurts and how much I miss him I have to fall back.

Like Jacky says I must give him a taste of his own medicine and just let things play out on its own for now I must do me.
