He would stop meeting my eyes whenever I tell him that he is wrong.
I came to notice that he never liked seeing me mad or sad or even angry.
He was such a tiny gentleman.
Sighing I took his hand led him outside then locked the house.
When I looked at the time it was really not that late and since there was no traffic I wanted to take him personally to his class just so that I would spend more time with him.
When we reached there some other kids were also being dropped there some running to their classes without their parents and some walking along their parents to class.
I parked my car in the parking lot then came out.
I walked to Ansel's side and took him out then after took out his bag.
His mood seemed to have brightened compared to how he was when we were leaving the house.
He seemed excited today when I told him in that car that I was going to his class today for a while then go to work.
He told me that he was going to show me his friend called 'nona' 'nina' 'nana' well I couldn't get which one it was.
The teacher who was usually there to pick kids who weren't accompanied by their parents greeted me with a smile and I did the same then continued walking with Ansel.
He was literally dragging me to his class when we reached in the hall.
Damn it was noisy.
When we reached his class he first stood at the entrance scanning the whole class and when he found who he was looking for his eyes lighted up.
When she also saw him she stood up carrying a lunch box.
Along with another girl and two more boys.
Oh he already formed a gang of his own.
I was amused and when I looked at them I saw how he let go of my hand and went to join them.
"Well then Ansel I'm going" I said looking at my boy and when he heard my words he turned back to me with his gang or should I say his little squad.
He nodded his head then headed back to his little gang and I took that as my clue to leave and start the day again.
As stressful as it was going to be and the whole time trying to avoid my boss.
When I reached there I still had minutes to spare and a little time to chat with Lena who happened to have had a one night stand and was complaining about the headache she was feeling.
She started telling me about the handsome man and before she could tell me his name Josiah happened to make his appearance known and I excused myself but not without noticing the way he looked at Lena.
Shrugging it off I entered the office deposited my handbag and walked to out to get for him his coffee.
Oh my way I met Jacob who I had not seen for so long and I got late after a small chat with him which earned me a lecture from the boss himself.
When he finished I looked directly in his eyes asking him if there was anything else.
I was really trying to keep my pride down and protect my ego.
This man hurt my feelings but I was not about to let it show and soon if I was lucky then I would be shifted in another position in another wing of this building where I wouldn't have to see him.
He thought for a minute then told me to send a card to Lena and I tried not to act surprised but I probably relaxed when he told me that it was for her sick mother I bet he noticed my change of emotions because he smirked.
I needed to get out of there or else I would go mad.
Nodding my head I asked if there was anything and he said no and I guess it also meant that my presence wasn't needed anymore.
The rest of the day happened pretty fast and I couldn't even be happier to get the hell out of there.
While I was closing my office to head out he also happened to be closing his and I cursed under my breath.
Removing my unneeded glasses I stuffed them in my handbag just to try and buy time so that he walks away and as if he noticed that I wanted to get rid of him Lucas stood and watched me.
The only person who was supposed to be present on this floor was Lena and that woman was no where to be seen.
When I noticed that he wouldn't budge I started walking towards the elevator the whole time avoiding eye contact.
He then followed right behind me.
There really had to be something wrong with this man.
Walking in the elevator I prayed that he takes his private one but I guess I wasn't lucky enough because he entered in the same one I entered into.
And suddenly all the air seemed to disappear and the small space got smaller.
I was in the same elevator with the man I happened to be hating.
"Nayra" he said my name looking at me.
I could see it from the corner of my eyes.
"Miss Hotch" I corrected him still looking ahead.
I was scared that if I make eye contact it would deceive me and make me succumb back in the arms of this man.
He didnt bother to correct him self because he just sighed.
"Look I know I have been treating you like garbage.
I'm really sorry I was seriously tricked into it and I dont know why I believed her in the first place." He took a breath sighing once more.
Why isn't this shit opening.
"But I really like you.
If you agree to at least get lunch with me I'll explain everything" he said looking at me.
