I was kinda in a murderous mood after returning home, I was pacing around the room. I didn't know what to do and so I thought who was the one to turn up for help whenever I screw things up? The answer was really easy Becky of course. I called her a couple of times but it turned out she was not reachable. Ha! I know how to reach her, she would probably be cooped up in her apartment. Reading a bridal magazine or selecting jewellery or something similar to that. I drove to her place since I was getting really anxious.

I knocked so hard on the door that my knuckles kinda hurt, I guess I was losing my sanity. Of course, after meeting people like Derrick Hunt people will obviously have these kinda side effects right? God, I gotta stop thinking about him. Well if I yell about him to someone, preferably Becky in this case scenario. I will get him out of my system for good. Then I can be relieved, I can go back to normal. I was going on knocking her door, I was getting impatient. Again I was going to knock the door hard and if she doesn't open this time, I might kick open the door myself I thought. As I raised my hand to knock again, the door swung open. Becky gasped, she was looking at me with wide eyes.

"I thought you had an interview! " She said crossing her arms.

"I did! " I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

"So what happened?" She asked curiously.

"Nothing! " I made a straight face.

"I don't wanna talk about that!" I said trying to change the subject.

I pushed the door and squeezed myself into her apartment. I was about to start my whining and that is when I saw Theo on the living room, Smiling at me brightly. What was he doing there? Did Becky plan something? I bet she does, she really does love playing cupid. She always did this, when I was in college. I remember once, Liam and Becky made me and Andrew dance partners intentionally. I half smiled when I thought about it. Those memories of him were never fading away. People say time heals everything but whoever said that didn't know what they were talking about.

"What's going on?" I asked eyeing Becky suspiciously.

"I ran into Theo today!" She exclaimed.

"Oh.. Um that's great! " I shuttered.

"How are you? " I asked him looking awkward.

"Awesome... Uh..so how is your new apartment?" He asked looking equally awkward.

I immediately looked at Becky to know if she sold me out.

"Uh. Becky mentioned it to me! " He said instantly noticing my reaction.

Turns out she did.

"It's okay. I guess! " I replied slowly.

"Um..excuse me! I will grab you guys some coffee! " Becky said and went into the kitchen leaving me and Theo alone.

Soon awkward silence filled in the room, I tried to stare vacantly at the wall, my watch, my shoes, even his shoes but nothing seems to be helping the situation.

"Is it awkward now that I didn't call you?" I finally decided to break the silence.

"Yeah, it kinda is!" He said making a cute face.

"I am sorry about that. I got caught up!" I apologized immediately.

"That's alright. I am glad you are not my roommate! " He said suddenly.

I was kinda shocked by that statement, What was that supposed to mean?

"Um..no offence!" He said reading my facial expression.

"None taken! " I snapped.

"I am sorry that came out really wrong.. I didn't mean it like that! " He said looking into my eyes with intensity.

His eyes kinda melted my heart.

"I totally understand... If you are mad! " I replied instantly.

"Wh..what? N-Noo, I am not mad! I didn't want you to be my roommate because..I can't ask my roommate out on a date." He said with a small smile.

Okay.I did not see that coming!

"Oh! Okay... Yeah, that makes sense!" I said as my cheeks turned tomato.

"So now that I am in the clear... Would you like to have dinner with me sometime? " He asked with a sweet smile on his face.

"Uh..sure!" I smiled.

I didn't want to disappoint him again so I agreed, I mean it was just dinner.

"Great. I will call you!" He smirked.

"But I didn't give you my number. " I started.

Then my eye instantly went to a certain someone who was standing near the kitchen with a huge grin. Yes, I was right Becky planned this whole thing.

"Okay. Great! " I left out a soft chuckle.

"Here is your coffee!" Becky came back smiling like an idiot.

I was shooting death glares at her.

"Uh. Becky, I am sorry but I have to go now! " Theo said looking slightly sad.

"Awe..but you guys just got here! " She cooed.

"It's been half an hour! " I spoke with gritted teeth.

"Yeah. I have to be at work but let's meet up another time! " Theo chuckled.

"Yeah. Okay! But be sure to be at the wedding!" Becky exclaimed.

My eyes widened on hearing that, God..she is out of control! What the hell was she thinking of inviting Theo for the wedding?

"I will be there, you can count on me!" He smirked.

"Alright..bye!" She waved.

"Bye guys!" He waved and went near the door.

"June? " He called me suddenly as he was about to open the door.

"Wait for my call!" He said smiling.

"Uh. I will! " I replied swiftly.

After he went out, I turned towards Becky shooting the icy glares that she deserved but she was acting as if nothing was wrong.

"Looks like you got yourself a date! " Becky winked teasingly.

"What do you think you are doing?" I asked looking annoyed.

"Um..talking to you? , Duh! " She mocked me.

"Don't play dumb! " I snapped.

"Jeez. Look who is being cranky today?!" She exclaimed.

"Why are doing this? You are just causing trouble for everyone, you can't make Theo think that I am into him or something. You can't lead him on! " I spoke with frustration.

"Are you hearing yourself right now? What's wrong with Theo huh? He is sweet, charming and most of all he likes you and he is a nice guy but you are not even giving him a chance! " She said looking at me.

"That's not up to you to decide!" I snapped again.

"I just want you to be happy! " She said slowly.

"Well, I am happy now! What makes you think I am not happy?" I asked her.

"Because you are not and I am the main reason for your unhappiness And I feel terrible that I never told you the truth about Andrew soon. If I had said something earlier, You might have moved on with your life!" She said as tears oozed out of her eyes.

"It's not your fault! " I said avoiding her gaze on me.

"Prove it..give Theo a chance!" She said looking hopeful.

"I don't want complications in my life right now, I already have enough! " I exclaimed.

"You are the one complicating stuff, Why are doing this yourself? " She asked looking concerned.

"You wanna know the truth. Fine! I can't date him because he is not Andrew!" I snapped again.

Oh no, I did not just say that!

"What is that even supposed to mean? Are you like waiting for him or something? Do you think he might show up out of nowhere?" She was yelling at me now.

"He is gone June and he is not coming back!" She muttered slowly.

"Stop! Just stop it!" I mumbled as tears welled up in my eyes.

"You gotta move on! That's what he would have wanted for you, not this madness. You can't stop living your life just because someone you love has left you! " She said holding my hands.

I didn't speak a word.

"Stop waiting and start living!" She said cupping my face in her hands.

Needless to say, tears started rolling down my cheeks again.

"I don't have to hear this! " I said and stormed out of that place.

-------------------------------------

I was really pissed at Becky but like always she was right. I knew I need to let go but I didn't know-how. Hell, I don't even know if I could. I was sitting in my car with my head placed on my starring. Suddenly my phone was ringing. I cleared my throat as I didn't want to sound weepy.

"Hello? " I asked in a muffled tone.

"Um. Hello, Is this June Paxton?" I head a lady.

"Yes!" I replied instantly.

"I'm calling from Rick and Hunt publishing..uh..Mr.Hunt wants your audience in an hour! " She sounded like a recorded voice, I guess that's what happens if you work in that hell hole.

How the hell did he find my name and my phone number!

"Uh. I am sorry but why should I? I didn't even attend the interview!" I was trying to make my point politely.

"Um. Actually that's why you are being called... You have to complete your interview or else we may sue you for wasting our time! " She said again like a soulless machine.

"Excuse me?! " I exclaimed.

"Yes, we have a policy here and I am afraid you have abode by it! It's kinda mandatory for the absentees to attend this secondary interview." She added.

Spoiler alert no one cares about your stupid policy!

"Why this even important?" I asked looking disinterested.

"If you do good in this interview then we might hire you! That's actually the main aim of this interview, we don't wanna miss pure talents to our rivals just because people missed an interview. " She explained their company policy which did not interest me, to be honest.

I was speechless after hearing that, I gotta say I was tempted.

"Seriously? " I exclaimed.

"Alright, Can I call you back. I need to think about this! " I asked.

"Uh..sorry. I can't! But you have an appointment in an hour!" She said again.

"Wait... What did you mean when you said your company can sue people? " I asked.

"I don't understand your question but I am sure you would have to pay us more than what you are thinking in your mind. " She said casually.

"What.. That's ridiculous!" I exclaimed.

"Alright... Good day, Ms Paxton!" She said and hung up the call.

Turns out I am wrong.. Everyone in that company was arrogant as their boss.

I was certainly not in the mood for this kinda madness right now, but I also didn't wanna get sued especially with my current financial position so I decided to go there. I reached that same building for my second interview. Their policy of interview for the absentees was crazy yet brilliant. I wonder who was the brain behind it but on the other hand, threatening people to come wasn't cool.

This time I reached the office without any elevator trouble. How about that? The receptionist on that floor said I had to wait with the rest of the absentees so I did as I was instructed. I didn't chat with anyone there but most of the people were throwing death glares at me. Oh common! Is none nice in this building? I tried to ignore them and continue reading my New York times peacefully.

"Ms Paxton you are up! " The receptionist said suddenly.

My heartbeat was dangerously pacing as soon as I heard that.

I guess I was nervous about the interview but mostly I don't know how to face that devil again. I tried to hold it together and walk towards the door.

"Excuse me, sir?" I asked and slowly knocked on the door.

More like excuse me, the devil? Am I interrupting your evil plot to ruin someone's life? But I wanted to be subtle.

"Come in! " I heard a deep voice.

I swung open the door and entered into the room. At first, I couldn't bring myself to face those pair of dark eyes but then I gathered all my courage to look him in the eye and so I did. But when I didn't I was left speechless and stunned. I couldn't believe what did I just see in front of my eyes, or should I say whom did I see? My mind was playing with few words. I was like transfixed on that place, not able to move off the shock.

My lip parted and all I could mumble was a name 'Andrew'. I guess that got his attention from a laptop screen that he was staring with intensity. But when he saw me, he kinda gave the same reaction, but something was definitely wrong because his eyes turned red with anger and I thought that vain in his forehead was about to pop.

I was still numb from the what just happened? How can he look exactly, Andrew? My mind was playing tricks on me. I was right in front of him but still couldn't believe what I just saw! He was still the same for me. Everything was the same, his rugged features were alluring as always. His raven black hair, which glistens in the light illuminating from the window, was combed back and his face carefully structured. As if God had moulded him just to spoil these eyes. His cold blue eyes were full of intensity. He had a Roman nose and a thin pair of lips that was in the form of a smirk. His tight jaw was an angular shape that was filled with little stubble. His pale skin looked so...right. The man had on a white cotton shirt with a navy blue vest, it was complemented with a charcoal black tie and a pair of black pants, which tied everything together. But only there was only one difference, it was the sign that was on his table saying, Derrick Hunt.

How? Why? What was going on? Millions of questions were running on my mind.

"You!" He finally spoke.

"Yeah..it's me!" I said looking at him impatiently.

"The nerve you have to come to my office again! " He screamed at me with spite.

I remained frozen at that place, defeated by this event and his cruelty. And thus my glass house of illusion was broken and shattered into pieces. I felt emotionally bankrupt. The was nothing left to feel, nothing left to say, nothing left but the void that enveloped my mind in swirling blackness. He doesn't remember me? Or Does he know me at all? Was he even Andrew? How is this even possible. I was just standing there without moving a muscle. Not believing what was going on with me?
