Chapter 132: The Retreat
Amaris's POV
I covered my mouth, stunned, why isn't he riding in his luxurious cars?
Is this his way of flustering my heart?
I folded my lips and glanced beside me, he'd sit with me because no one has come to sit there except my bag.
I watched his eyes scrolling around, everyone wanted the boss to sit with them.
Shyly, I took my bag up, just so he'd be aware that there was a free seat beside.
Unfortunately, he sat at the other row, beside me, with a worker that suffers from autistic.
She was Mira and I wondered why he employed her. It has always been her dream to be part of the managerial team but no one appreciates her efforts or employed her.
However, since Caleb took over, he employed her and every project, she writes them down.
With her brilliant ideas that she can't voice out, she writes them and I must say, she was constituting greatness to this company.
Most of us are jealous of her and I felt impressed that Caleb saw something in her.
However, why do I feel jealous that he wasn't sitting with me?
Mira greeted him, even though her voice wasn't audible, more like she was dumb and only expressed herself through signs.
Caleb also signal her back and she let out a warm smile.
My thoughts got distracted when Liam came to sit beside me. He had his headphone on, waving to me and smiling.
Caleb would certainly be jealous, abandon Mira and come to me.
I laugh and stroke Liam on the back, resting my head on his neck and placing my palms on his thighs.
It felt as though I was forcing myself on him, even when I peeped at Caleb if he was watching, I only saw him trying to help Mira open a bottle of water.
"You're so funny!" I teased using my nose to nudge his neck and he pushed my head mildly away from me.
"Jeez amaris, I got a girlfriend and she's in this bus, can you stop" he mused placing a disgusting face at me.
I apologize, feeling embarrassed and annoyingly glanced at Caleb again, this time he was smiling to a drawing which Mira showed him.
What has gotten into me? Caleb isn't the one, I just have to recall what he has done to me.
I wistfully lean my head on the window, gazing outside and humming. Every voice faded away, except Liam!
He was disturbing me with his mouth which performs a beatbox and to worsen it he was bad at it.
"Everyone, let's go" he scream and soon, everyone in the bus was clapping with him.
These eyes of mine slowly fished out Caleb. He seems uncomfortable, riding in this bus, the noise but he chose it.
I almost slapped my face to stop worrying over it.
Who does he want to impress.
"Time for our boss to give us a beat" Liam roared and everyone suddenly went silent as Caleb only scoffed.
This was a limit, I was waiting for him to say his usual, we are all fired. Even Liam was scared as he took off his headphone.
His hands were shaking, of course even though he was still new he must have heard of Caleb, everyone knows the story revolving around him before Caleb bought our company.
I let out an evil smile, to point his error, to make everyone know he is a beast, trying to appear as a saint.
Caleb turned to me, used his hand as a microphone and suddenly began to sing.
There was a loud uproar in the bus as the clapping resumed.
I saw Liam closed his eyes and placed his palm on his chest, relieved that he didn't actually cross the limit.
And, oh my God, who knew Caleb could sing? My heart melted instantly with the rhythm and the clapping that I forgot myself and began to clap too, to join the fun.
For a moment, I thought to myself, if this was a dream, I just didn't want to wake up.
I could see the happiness in his face.
We arrived at the so called camp and before me were the workers struggling to take pictures with the boss.
I was the only one struggling to hold firm my luggage, to find a place I could lay my head.
It was exhausting for me and I felt so lazy like it wasn't the usual me that could work tirelessly.
While I intend to move away from the bus with my luggage, a bodyguard suddenly lifted it up for me.
"Follow me ma'am, I'd direct you to your suite"
I fluttered my eyes, took a glimpse behind me if I was mistaken for something else.
I had to point to myself if I was the one. I threw my eyes to where Caleb was meant to be but he wasn't there anymore.
"Okay?" I responded rhetorically and followed them suite. It seems I was in a different world, because I was literally in a glass castle, quite different from the ones my colleagues were staying.
I rolled my eyes, as Caleb was just trying to make something obvious.
If he treats me this way, the employees might think I'm different.
Or I was wrong because I wasn't the only one here, I could see some top employees here too.
We were just five though and argh, Liam was among. The sight of him makes me abash but he was a free person and forgets things easily.
Caleb always beats my expectations. I'd be roommate with Mira, nice and impressive.
I'd question her about Caleb and why he gets to sit with her, not me. That thought haven't gotten out of my mind yet.
The bodyguard dropped my luggage at the door, gave me a bow and left.
I haven't spoken to Caleb yet and I just couldn't help it but want to spend a moment with him.
To worsen it, the room he placed me was far away from his and I just wanted to see him somehow.
We had dinner, the employees but Caleb wasn't a part of us, I only came for the dinner held outside because I wanted to see him.
While every gossips of how charming and amazing the new boss is, my heart only grew worried.
I stood up from where I sat, claiming I want to return to bed just so I won't be questioned why I was leaving and dashed back into the building.
My eyes scrolled around, trying to find a trace of Caleb when I heard a loud moan.
I clenched my fist, scoffed unbelievably.
"Harder, argh, yeah, boss"
Anger surges inside of me as I could hear their lewd noise but I dare not check who they were.
He was the same, fucking his employees. I spat on the ground, angrily kicking my feet at invisible objects.
I hate Caleb! Now it dawn on me, that he can never change.
