New Beginning 1

Chapter 66

New beginning

As she stepped out of his office, she had not accepted everything that he just said, everything that just happened, including the fact she had to walk away from all of this…. This was basically her life, her future. So, she just had to walk away from everything and pretend she was never part of it all?

She slowly took a box from the shelf in the outer office, which has always been her office from the very first day this business was inaugurated. Now, somebody else would occupy not just her position in the company, but also her position in Alex's life. Thinking about it all, made it harder than it was.

She did not have much to take, she packed mostly her personal belongings and a few files she thought might come handy in future.

It wasn't a new scenario for the workers to see madam boss with a box or boxes walking out, everybody was busy with whatever they were doing, paying just the necessary attention to her __ mostly because of her outfit.

"Hey Claire! You look stunning." Neon praised.

"Thanks." She managed to put on a fake smile.

They both bumped at the elevator, Neon coming out and Claire wanting to go in.

"Is he in?" Neon asked. They both knew who 'he' was referring to. Just one look at her, Neon could tell that something was not right but it was not his place to ask.

"Yes." She answered in a low tune without meeting his eye.

"Roger that. See you around then." He gave a short bow and headed off.

She smiled dryly, nodded and stepped into the lift.

A lot of emotions swelled in as she turned to take one last look at the company__ the company she built alongside Alex, the man of her dreams, well, not anymore.

'So I just have to give this all up and blame it on me? Everything I've done for him, all my hard work, sleepless nights… just to end up with a box of junk as my reward?' She asked herself.

Anger, disappointment mixed with determination, frustration… all different types of expressions flashed on her face within a second.

She walked to her car, placed the box carefully in the back seat, then got in the driver's seat. She pulled out the card she got from the guys back in the hotel. When she had asked for a way to keep in touch with them, little did she know that it would be this soon. She knew that she would not be having that kind of fun in a long time, but here she was, barely a week later, hitting up their line.

She needed somewhere to clear her head, have fun, something like a good distraction. Drinking right now wasn't on her agenda… maybe at the bottom, but she wanted someone wild, something out of her comfort zone.

She could not lose her job, boyfriend, inheritance and lose her life too.

So she summoned courage and made the first call. It was weird asking a stranger for sex, but… if you want something really badly, you gotta go for it.

Selling all her shame and buying disgrace, she waited for the call to connect.

"Hey," Claire said as the call connected. She made the first call and it was just as fruitful as she imagined, then she remembered the Blondie who'd ask her for an invite if she ever got an open door to relive their wild night again… only this time, it'll be wilder.

"Hello." A soft familiar voice answered.

"Uhm, it's Ines right?"

"Who is this?" She asked cautiously.

Claire remembered that she had never introduced herself to Blondie, not even her name, so the only way to describe herself right now was to explain the circumstances in which they met.

She cleared her throat. " I'm the girl from the other night…" saying it out loud now, sounded really weird. She paused and waited to see if Ines got it.

Silence on the other end.

"The night with the boys… We met at the drug store the next day and you gave me your card…" she started.

"Oh yeah, I remember you." Ines said cheerfully. "What's up girl?"

"Well, are you free tonight… well actually this evening? Claire asked boldly.

"Yes, I am. What time?" Ines asked with excitement.

"Let's say 3pm…?"

"Sure, 3 is great."

"Cool, uhm… I'll text you the address, see you then." Claire was about disconnecting the call.

"Just a quick question," Ines quickly added.

"Can I come with a friend too?"

Claire had to go mute for a good number of seconds, wondering if the third girl would be fun, or if she needed permission from the guys before adding another girl to the party, or if one more girl meant requesting more dicks?

"Well, I guess it'll be more fun." She finally said. She made a mental note to inform the guys that they'll be getting an extra cunt.

"Yes !" Ines exclaimed over the phone. "3pm it is, then."

She held the phone to her chest after ending the call. She did have second thoughts about what she had in mind. What if Alex was willing to forgive her and take her back in and doing this would just blow him off? Maybe, just maybe, he was only mad for a moment? All the same, she was not willing to be a second guess. If he has made his decision, then she'll make sure he regrets ever ditching her.

First, she has to have fun, then she'll find a way to make him pay for everything he has deprived her from by pushing her out of his life.

She just stayed in her car, wallowing in self pity. Going back home right now was out of the question, it will definitely only just remind her of how much she fucked up,or how much she just lost, or the fact that the same man who had treated her like a queen, just addressed her as a "public belonging", in other words, he called her a whore.

Even though those guys were calling her a slut over and over while fucking her, she wasn't mad at it, instead, it was a total turn on for her. Alex calling her the same thing, even more politely, was emotionally traumatizing, no matter how much she tried to ignore it.

Yes, she slept with a bunch of guys, but it doesn't make her prostitute, does it? Technically, prostitutes get paid for sex, but she just wanted fun, why did he have to call her that?

Sitting there was not gonna undo anything that just happened. She decided to go get a good waxing session, maybe a boss lady manicure and pedicure, and probably new lingeries… something really hot and sexy.

The first time was a total coincidence and she handled both groups of guys like a pro. This time, she was more psychologically prepared so she needed to be physically prepared too. Everything had to be perfect, from her body, to what she had on, probably a massage too… oh and some last minute yoga to relax her muscles.
