His Lovely Obsession novel Chapter 55

She is inside Nick's office. She decided to finish her designs for the presentation tomorrow She wants to avoid Cherry because she knows that she will ask her tons of questions . After Nick left, she cried for a few minutes. She is at fault.

She was chewing at the tip of her pen while thinking when she heard two knocks before it was opened.

"Hi Stacey!" Cherry greeted her with a wide smile.

She sighed. She can't evade the secretary and her questions now.

"Sir Nick's driver asked me to give this to you...hmmm..I wonder why he has it? " she said with a teasing smile before handing her car key.

"Remember I left yesterday? I was planning to buy something from the convenience store downstairs but they don't have it so I decided to use my car to go to another one. Unfortunately, when I was about to leave the shop, my car acted up so I called sir Nick. He called his driver to get the car and have it fixed. I had a very bad headache so I told our boss that I won't go back to the office. His driver got the key from me last night. " she lied as she crossed her fingers.

She is hoping that Cherry won't notice that she just made that all up.

" Okay. But how would you explain what happened a while ago? Sir Nick was your night in shining armor! I haven't seen him so angry but honestly, that was a major turn on!"

Stacey sighed then stood up to look out the window. She checked the time and she realized that Nick has been out for 2 hours already. She is wondering if he will come back to the office. She hopes he does.

" Mr. Enriquez deserved what Mr. Alcantara did to him. It isn't the first time that I slapped him. He said something offensive to me so I slapped him during our first meeting in my previous company. " she told Cherry.

"I am not surprised. There has been rumors going around that Mr. Enriquez is a pervert. I am lucky that I am not his type. He likes beautiful women like you. I think that is one downside of being gorgeous. You attract pervs easily." Cherry said with a giggle which made her shake her head.

"Beauty runs in your family. Your younger sister is pretty too but I think her personality is far from pretty." the secretary snorted.

"Our mother spoiled her so I am sorry if she was a bit rude to you. "

"No need to apologize. I understand. It's just that I feel sorry that you are in a difficult situation."

Stacey frowned a little. "What do you mean?"

"Obviously your sister likes sir Nick too. There's a chance that you will fight over him. I can't imagine being in your shoes. "

Stacey bit her lower lip but chose not to comment.

Nick never showed up again. It is 5 PM. She decided to go to Eve and Blake's bar. She doesn't want to sulk at home. She looked at her phone only to find out she got not no message or call from Nick nor Derick.

She sighed. She hasn't seen nor talk to Nick for several hours and she is going to see Derick on Friday which is two days from now. She misses both of them but she badly wants to talk to Nick because she owes him an apology.

She made a decision. She will send him a message.

To: Nick

Sorry... =(

After sending the message she dialed Derick's number but it wasn't even ringing. She hasn't talked to him since yesterday. He didn't send her any messages either. With a sigh, she maneuvered her car out of the parking lot.

Billy got off early from work because Nick called him and asked him if they could chill at his unit. Nick seldom asks him favors so he immediately said yes. He told her about what Jim did to Stacey. Knowing how his friend feels towards Stacey, Jim is lucky that he is still alive.

"Mate! Are you sure you just want to stay here? Don't you want to go out?" he asked.

"No. " Nick replied.

He is still very much annoyed. Stacey still doesn't trust him.

Billy sat across from him and handed him a can of beer. "Sorry mate. I only have beer. "

Nick just nodded.

"Jim is unbelievable. He tainted you. How could he do such a thing?" Billy asked while shaking his head.

"I think I need to do more effort, if that's possible, to show Stacey that I will never do that to her." Nick said before gulping some beer.

"Look mate! I think it's best if you let Stacey do the first move this time. Let her miss you!" Billy said with a laugh.

Nick chuckled." I'll try."
