##Chapter 14
Diana Markovic

When I left that bathroom, the feeling of humiliation that took over me was inevitable. But if there was one thing I knew well, it was pretending to be natural in an embarrassing situation, like when I managed to fake fainting. From that day on, I would do my best to show him my indifference and how he didn't affect or turn me on just by his voice.
Even if it hurt, something that was understandable to find ridiculous, I would try to pull away, maybe something that neither together had, but I needed to end once and for all the strong attraction I felt for him, I was afraid of my feelings because deep down I felt that I was in serious danger of falling in love, which was not good at all, taking into account his reaction yesterday after we had almost had sex.
I dried off, put on a comfortable nightgown, and crawled under the covers after making my bed on the floor. The effect of the alcohol hadn't worn off one hundred percent, but it put me to sleep right away.
The next day I strangely woke up first, despite the immense headache, I was starving and I wouldn't fuck around go through his things in the kitchen to eat something. I got up off the floor, folded my things and unfortunately I couldn't help but watch him sleep for a long time. Why so beautiful? Images of him taking me in strong hands, touching me intimately came flooding back but I needed to forget.
I went to the bathroom to find my clothes lying there. My eyes darted to the stall making me squirm internally. I shook my head and tried to brush my teeth, I also took a quick shower and left wrapped in a towel. Hugh was still asleep when I changed, which was just as well.
I dressed in a casual yellow dress, grabbed a jean jacket just in case and also some sunglasses to ease the headache when looking at the bright light of day. I sprayed on my rose perfume and left with my purse. I just hoped there was somewhere open to eat.
On the way I decided that I would try to avoid seeing him for the next few days.
From afar, I saw the accommodation and the restaurant that I had refused to eat at the beginning, but since I stuck my foot in the jackfruit, I was going to slip up and eat a generous breakfast. I entered the place already feeling a great smell of food, there were several people smiling and eating, with all that I had looked what time it was, so I took my cell phone and got scared when I saw that it was half past nine.
I sat at a table and soon a girl came to meet me.
- Good morning. Will you prefer something ready or serve yourself? he asked me sympathetically.
"Something ready, please." Bring me lots of yummy things for breakfast, whatever's best. he said smiling.
She just nodded and walked away. In the next few minutes I got a call from one of my lawyers saying that Jeremy and the crook family were already arrested and also my money back in my account. I sighed in relief at justice being done. After that I also got a call from my parents who said they had been trying to talk to me for hours but couldn't, but I told them I was fine and would be back home soon.
As soon as I hung up the call, I jumped out of my seat with the shock of seeing Hugh sitting across from me.
“Good morning, princess. He greeted me with a wide smile on his lips.
- Good morning. What are you doing here? I asked confused.
"I came to have breakfast with you, even though you didn't ask for me." I found it very ingratitude on your part, since everything I eat, I share with you. He threw me a mocking look.
I swallowed hard. He could be as cynical as I was.
"I thought you'd rather sleep later." I just said.
- No problem. What did you order?
"All the best they had for breakfast."
- Excellent. I'm starving. - smiled .
- You do not work today? I asked.
- Yes. But I missed the schedule, as you can see. He shrugged.
"Aren't you afraid they'll fire you for that?" I questioned.
At that moment two women arrived carrying generous trays of many delicious things.
- No. He looked at me. Thank you, darlings. he said to the girls who left smiling and whispering.
"Must be nice to work like that." I joked.
— Nobody fires anyone here, there are few people to work with and when you have the best person for that job, they'll never send you away knowing that nobody else will take your place and do the job like you.
— So does that mean you're the best at what you do and that's why you can miss or be late and it's okay? I raised an eyebrow.
- Basically. - he responded.
I just nodded and we started to eat.
- What are your plans for today? Hugh asked suddenly.
“Eat a lot, first. - I said with something strange making me eat compulsively.
- Calm down. You'll end up choking. How hungry is this, huh?
- So it is. I just said.
An uncomfortable silence hung in the air for a few minutes, until at one point he looked up at me.
“I'm sorry about yesterday. he said and my chest tightened.
I swallowed hard.
- Yesterday? I do not know what you're talking about. I forced a smile , feeling my eyes sting in an unusual way.
- Diana...
“Hugh, listen, it's okay. Let's forget about it, you said it to me yesterday, remember? I already forgot. I washed my hands trying to soften the air.
He looked at me in a surprised way, as if he hadn't expected this attitude from me, but soon his look became sexy and I was startled when he took my hands, provoking innumerable feelings in me.
- You deserve to be very happy. - his simple sentence made my body tremble and an indescribable feeling dominated me even though I didn't understand the sentence at the time.
I was falling in love, because suddenly my heart started to ache in a good way when I looked into those beautiful dark blue eyes. And even after yesterday, the tension didn't seem to exist or just disappeared and that made me so relieved.
— About my question about what your plans are for today, I have some, do you want to join me?
- Clear. Fine by me. What will we do?
"It's a little far from here, but it's well worth it." - smiled .
I was very curious to know what this place was and why he asked me to go with him. Well, there was a reason.
"Soon I won't need it anymore."
