Wanting to make best impression and also to let malik know am not going to sit around and cried for what he and june did to me.
You can do this Amara, I thought me and him was getting married and we will walked this door together, as I was made a senior associate.
I wore a three pieces pant suit with a colorful tie, had my hair in a messy bun .
I flashed my ID card to the security guard . Hold the elevator I yelled out.
Just my luck, it was malik inside with some other two ladies.
Thank you I told the ladies, he could not looked at me; as the ladies was talking about nathan.

I laughed , didn't turned around. Am over you Malik. Just be good to her.
Over me just like that, you were crying at court house.
My tears was not for you but for her. Who I thought was a friend and family.
Really, he tried to touch me but the elevator stopped.

I jumped and spun around in my chair, startled to find nathan standing in my office.
He kissed me softly . What are you doing here?
Came to take my wife for lunch.

He totally ignored malik who mouth was opened wide.
Nathan places his hand at my back as we leave to the elevator.
All eyes was on us as we get into the elevator.
He pulled me closer and kisses me softly. I missed you so badly. He whispered between his breathe.
As the elevator open to the lobby, people were staring at us.
He opened the door for me.
