Chapter 47

The ride home was unbearable. I wanted to ask if Chris was at the office to talk to Oliver but when i reached our office, Oliver was already gone.

I tried calling him on the phone but his phone is switched off. And when i asked around the building, Sherry just told me that Oliver had some work he needed to do and left a few minutes ago.

And now, i am on my way home because i couldn't leave work with both our seats empty. I sighed over and over again as the traffic kept dragging me back and by the time i got out of the cab, i was more than frustrated.

I basically ran up the stairs and raced my way through the hall. I wrestled with my bag as i looked for my key and finally opened the door.

When i walked in, i found MC in the kitchen making dinner and Oliver was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey." MC greeted me as she stirred whatever it was that she was making and glanced back at me over her left shoulder. "You're late." She commented before turning back.

"Yeah." I trialed off as i waked closer to lean on the counter "I had to work alone today. Where is Olly?"

MC paused for a second before continuing her work "I don't know. You're the one that works with him " she answered in a very annoyed tone and i took that as my cue to back off.

I knocked on Oliver's door and even looked in just to make sure if he was home but his room was empty.

I changed my close, washed up and joined MC in the kitchen, to which she kicked me out saying that i would ruin her vibe. So, i decided to chill in front of the TV as i waited for Olly to come home.

MC finished cooking and was about to make a plate for the two of us when i heard the front door open and slam shut.

A frustrated looking Oliver walked in and immediately fixed his gaze on MC.

"You know, i was fine with waiting for you to admit that what we have is not something that just happened or some big mistake. I was willing to wait for as long as it takes you to finally admit your feeling like i admitted mine..."

"Oliver..." MC tried to talk to him but he wouldn't let her.

"I will do anything for you, Missy. But i will not tolerate being stringed along by you when you clearly have someone you're already seeing. So either freaking tell me that you want me or just break the ice and go back to your ex."

MC looked shocked and flustered. I don't know why she was so speckless but one thing is for sure. Christ did talk to Oliver this evening.

"You're not going to say anything, MC. You're not going to tell me how you've been playing me. You couldn't even tell me that we were a mistake yourself that you had to send your boyfriend to do it?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" MC whispered and from the looks of it, it looks like she wanted the earth to open up and swallow her whole.

My eyes widen as i realized that Oliver doesn't know that Chris has been coming over to her work place to get another chance with MC. He clearly thinks that she was just messing around with him while things with Chris settled down.

"I was going to tell you but I don't have any obligations to."

My eyes snapped over to MC as i tried to process what the hell she just said. Oliver looked just as shocked as i was when she continued.

"Oliver, you're a great guy but you're moving too fast and it's suffocating me. Yes. I did like what you and i have but I've had those moments with Chris first and you can't blame me for wanting to be sure who i want to be with."

Oh My God.

I didn't even dare to blink as Oliver stared at her with complete silence. Non of us said a thing for a good five minutes before Oliver nodded his head and turned to walk to his room but he stopped at the last minute.

"I think you've already made your choice." With that, Oliver slammed the door closed.

MC didn't even look at me as she dropped the plate on the table and walked to her room.

The house suddenly became too quite for my liking. I looked around with absolutely no ides what to do.

I looked at the pot MC was cooking with and turned to stare at the two closed doors. Neither of them had dinner and I'm sure food is the last thing on their minds.

But i know one thing for sure and it is that I am starving and it would be foolish of me to let such good food to waste.

Those two can starve themselves wile their upset all they want. But everybody knows food is the best way to relive stress. 

I shrugged my shoulder and got up to fill my plate with a generous amount of chicken and rice and took two slices of bread before walking back to the dining table.

The next morning sucked so bad. 

I woke up early to use the bathroom and waited for the usual fight between my two roommates but when MC walked over to knock on the door, no one answered. Because Oliver didn't even walk out of his room this morning.

Mc looked over at me and opened the bathroom door as i walked over to Olivers.

When i knocked, he didn't answer so i invited myself in to see that his room was empty. How early did he wake up this time?

I walked back into the kitchen to see the coffee maker empty. He would usually make some for MC so she can have her morning coffee when she wakes up but he didn't today.

MC walked out of the bathroom just minutes after she walked in and sat infront of me.

"Where is he?" She asked me and i shrugged my left shoulder before i walked over to the coffee maker to make her some morning coffee.

"I didn't know Chris would go to see Oliver." She whispered and i glanced at her over my shoulder. "I didn't mean to be so angry at him either."

I honestly didn't know how to carry on this conversation and MC didn't add so i just let it go.

When i got to work, Oliver was already busy and didn't want to talk to me about Chris or the little chat he had with MC last night. So i left him alone and went about my work.

Things have beeb a little quite ever since Mallisa Brown retired but they also feel peaceful. There was no one to scream at us for walking slow or for spending too much time in the break room.

Speaking of break rooms, I head over there to get some coffee to help with the killer headache I've been dealing with for the past three hours.

As i was filling up my mug, i saw Lucy Chaw enter the break room. I refused to look at her or even glance towards her direction. But to my surprise, neither did she. She just got her coffee and left without a word.

I don't know why, but some thing deep inside of me tells me that there is something up with this woman and...i was not eger to find out at all.

When i walked back to the office, Oliver wasn't there and i saw a little note on my desk next to a stake of files.

I picked up the note as i eyes the file.

"Already printed out all the reports. All you need to do she take it to the boss."

That bastard is throwing me to the wolves.

I growled in pure annoyance before picking the file up and walked to Shawn's office. I was huffing and puffing out cuss after cuss in my head as i walked closer to the door.

I glanced at Lucy Chaw who was sitting at her desk near the door and lifted the file up to show her that they are for the boss. She looked at the file and then ignored my existence as she looked back down on the papers on her desk.

I rolled my eyes before knocking on the door and waited for Shawn's permission to walk in.

When i opened the door, i was stunned to see that same beautiful woman from the retirement party sitting on one of the chairs.

Shawn looked up and seemed startled to see me deliver the reports myself in a very long time.

"Princi?" He called out and caught the attention of the woman in the office. She looked over to me and then flashed me a sweet smile.

I slowly walked in and placed the reports on top of the desk and bowed down before turning around to leave. But the woman stopped me.

I am really hating this office this days. First I had to see Lucy locking lips with Shawn and now i have to make small talk with his other woman?

"Hi." The woman extended her arm to shake my hand. But when i reached out, she playfully slapped my hand away and pulled me in a tight hug.

I was more than shocked and glanced over to Shawn to see that he was smiling.

Where there making fun of me?

"I've hears so much about you, Princi. It's so good to finally see you." She squealed pit as she rocked me from side to side.

"Alright Marcy, that's enough." Shawn said as he laughed a little 

Marcy? Why do i know that name.

The woman pulled away before sticking her tongue out on Shawn. She quickly focused back on me and squealed again. Literally.

I looked at her and then the boss in confusion and the woman frowned.

"Oh, i see this little devil hasn't told you a lot about me. I'm marcy. His beautiful and gorgeous little sister."

Sister? What?

I couldn't stop myself from looking over to Shawn and i can see a smirk playing at his face. I already know he caught me in an ugly jealousy.

She's his sister? Of course he had mentioned that he had a half sister but i never met her before, have i?

But the real question playing in my head is, why do i feel so relived that she is just his sister?
