“So, sugar lips, were you able to keep the kitten in the cattery?” Derrick's words are full of mockery, as if he expects me to have slipped up, which I did.
I push my keyboard aside and rest my head in my arms, groaning. I can't even look at him, I'm so guilty.
“Well?” He nudges my back.
“Can we not talk about this?” I lift my head up and rub my face with my hands, not caring that I'm smearing my makeup.
All morning, I've been a blubbering mess. You'd think that sleeping with an incredibly hot guy would bolster my self-confidence. Not me though. I'm a weirdo. Everything going through my mind is negative.
Was I so desperate that I couldn't resist Lucian? How could I not see that all he wanted was sex? I knew this would screw me up emotionally, and yet I did it anyway. I deserve to feel like this. Like a worthless slut.
“It looks like you had a late night.” He frowns at me.
“Don't you have a job to do?” I snap, not wanting to deal with him.
I expect Derrick to recoil and go back to his desk, but instead, he kneels beside me, his expression sympathetic. “Hey, Amy.” He waits until I turn to look at him before he continues, “I'm sorry. It's honestly none of my business. I just want to make sure you're okay. Because you don't look okay.”
All of my emotions surge to the surface in a flood, and I allow him to see the tears running down my face. My voice is a hushed whisper as I break down in front of him. “Oh, Derrick. I'm not okay.”
