"My head hurts." I complained to Layla as soon as she walked into my office.

"Should I get you some pain killers?" She asked.

"You shouldn't be asking that you fool and while you're at it, get me something to eat as well. I haven't had anything to eat today and I'm starving." I said to her and she nodded calmly before attempting to leave and then stopping abruptly.

"What now?" I asked irritatedly.

"I'm sorry miss, it's just that I forgot to tell you that a man by the name Martin Deville is here to see you and he says it's important." She informed me and I frowned.

What exactly does that fool want now?

"Let him in." I tell her and she gives a quick bow before walking out.

The annoying figure of Gabriella's best friend graces my vision and I immediately had a bad feeling about his visit. Martin isn't the type to just go around paying unnecessary visits to people, most es

Working at AT without Jake has definitely not been a pleasant experience for me.

The new boss Corey, has made it his mission to frustrate me to no end and I'm starting to think Trisha is behind his ridiculous attitude towards me although part of the reasons could be our first encounter but judging by how mean and unfriendly he is, I'm going to assume it's cause of Trisha.

Rumor has it that Trisha has successfully seduced him and that she has him wrapped around her fingers. As much as I think it's true, I'm still hoping it's all just a rumor cause I can't imagine surviving Trisha's indirect taunts everyday. It's starting to drain me.

I walked into the elevator and the familiar face of Liam put a smile on my face.

"Hi." I greeted shyly, ea

Gabriella.

"Good morning Martin." I chirp happily hoping that today wasn't gonna be like yesterday and the day before because for reasons best known to him, he'd become distant and snobbish and I didn't like where our friendship was heading.

"Morning," he replied coldly, throwing his car keys on the kitchen counter.

"Aren't you going to work?" I asked with raised eyebrows, my heart skipping a beat when I see him with luggage.

"Are you m...moving out?" I asked, my eyes already preparing for the waterfall that was going to flood out if he nodded affirmatively.

"No, I'm only going on a business trip and I also took permission to take a few days off to clear my head. I'll only be gone for a week. Take care," he responded dryly but I wasn't having any of that.

"What exactly is your problem with me Martin? You've been acting like a dick for the last three days. You don't talk to me, you
