Chapter 10 : Let's talk I was so damn tired . I was so depressed that I wasn't Priscilla anymore . I was some kind of grumpy zombie . " Hello ? What the hell happened ? " Tommy asked . He , one of my best friends , is here , thank God ! * I ... I'm just ... " " God , Babe ... you are really stressed about this situation . It's unbelievable ! " He's taking a vacation because of Lily's wedding and to be with the whole family . " It's worse than you think or what you see , Tommy ; she's exhausted all the time , forgets things and nervous all the time , I don't know what to do Suzy clarifies . We are in our apartment having a little slumber party . Not a very funny one . We have been talking about various topics , but the main attraction right now is my state of mind . And I haven't even mentioned the intense encounter in the dressing room , the touching , the caressing , the passion . Oh boy ... that was something . Sometimes I remember that moment and my mind flies . Even when I try to forget it , I can't . " Seriously , Ethan is a pain in the ass , and I have no doubt that he gives you a hard time ; he is very demanding . I can only imagine working with him and seeing him in the wedding preparations ! " Tommy exclaims . " It's a fucking nightmare ! " Suzy yells . It is true . Work at the office is intense , and Ethan is getting more and more involved . He seems to be the worst boss ever in the world , for me , was a dictator , but for the rest of my colleagues ... he was a saint ! Magnificent Brandon who is going to solve all our problems , I mean he brings more problems ! How come no one but me noticed ? Sorry for the rant ... going to the office has become incredibly stressful . On top of that , there are a thousand things to do at Lily's wedding meetings , and she has involved me in everything as if I were part of the family . And I can't object or say no to anything because her family has been so nice ! Everyone loves Lily and wants to do right by her on her big day . he But the problem wasn't the job or anything ... it was Ethan . Talking to him makes me nervous . Sometimes I think he is so obsessively perfectionist and demanding that he needs to spend more time by my side and keep an eye on me . I don't know if he doesn't trust me or what , but he never misses an opportunity to be by my side , and when no one notices , he brushes my hand or adjusts my hair , little touches here and there . Sometimes he mentions things from our childhood or tries to get back to the subject of kissing . Dear God ... no , please , no . " I really don't know what to do , guys , " I say sadly . " I have a confession to make : I didn't watch Outlander , the season finale . " " B - But how ? We watch it together ! " Suzy says . ' I fell asleep ... I didn't really pay attention , " I confess , ashamed . They both cry . Tommy covers his mouth with his hands in an exaggerated gesture . " You didn't see Jamie ... Jamie Fraser ? The handsome Scottish man in the skirt ? How could you ? " he cries . " Who are you ? " Suzy shakes her head in obvious horror . " I have no will to live ... Ethan is my worst nightmare and he pushes me to do what he says , and he looks at me ... in a strange way . As if he wanted to tell me something . I swear I don't know what's going on in his head , but I live in a constant state of panic . Imagine what it's like to live with your worst bully almost every day ! And then every weekend talking about the wedding . " " Boo , you have to come up with a solution , Suzy says . 1/3 p p . Chapter 10 Let's talk " Babe , I can stay with you at Lily's wedding activities , I'll be your guardian , Tom says, and suddenly I get a message from Lily asking if we can meet before tomorrow to talk about the new design , Ethan needs to see something . I want to cry . It's like psychological torture . This man is my shadow . " I have no peace , " I lament . Suddenly I have an idea . " What if I talk to my boss ? Maybe I should be honest with him ? I don't know ... I can ask him to switch accounts or have someone else look into things with Ethan . Maybe I can focus on other things " . Maybe it could work . This is a good chance to tell the truth , that I feel tired and uncomfortable . I mean , what's the worst - case scenario ? Oh boy , how wrong I was . " What ? What do you mean ? " my boss asked , looking at me like I was a spoiled little girl trying to change her toys . ' I just ... I mean ... my workload is crazy , I have a lot of overtime , this situation would cause me to burn out , " I explained , but he made me feel bad terrible . " Priscilla , I don't recognize you . I mean ... we both know this is an extraordinary opportunity . Do you have any idea how important it is to have clients like this ? It's one in a million ! It is a golden ticket that every designer would kill to have . And all thanks to Mr. Fairfax ... and you want to be far away from him . I really don't understand , " he lectures me . I feel even worse . I'm not the kind of person who fears a challenge . " Sure , you have a lot of responsibilities , maybe I can find an extra pair of hands to help you " . Please don't mention Kate , don't mention Kate .... " And of course Kate can help a bit more , I'm pretty sure she wants to be more involved ... " Shit ... this is getting worse and worse . " Understood ... sorry to bother you with this ... " I said to him and as I was leaving he spoke to me again . " I really don't understand Priscilla . You know what the worst part is ? I put you on this project mainly because you had a connection with Fairfax and that would help him choose us , " he pointed out . What connection ? " I don't understand . I was very honest when I told you that we have known each other since childhood . I really don't know the man at all right now , " I reply . * Priscilla ... he asked you to lead these projects . That's why only you should work with Fairfax . Understand ? " I was petrified and could not say anything else. What the hell ? What's really going on in Ethan's head ? I don't know if he's trying to help me or ruin me . Maybe I'm an ungrateful brat . Maybe he is just a good friend ? Great , now I'm not only tired , burnt out , nervous , but my boss will think less of me . At least I was happy with Tom . He was true to his word and stayed by my side , holding my hand and laughing at the wedding - related events . And my sweet handsome friend had a special superpower : He and Ethan didn't really get along . This strange dynamic was also the reason why Tommy had not yet come out to his family . He thought Ethan would reject him . I think Ethan found his cousin too laid back , easy to laugh at , and generally not very responsible . It was no secret to anyone that Tommy thought Ethan was too serious , conservative , and stiff . But , the next week , I heard yelling and arguing in the distance , it's seems to be close to my boss office . I didn't know what it was , but when I saw Brandon the next day , it was strange , 2/3 p p . Chapter 10 Let's talk William , Lily's fiancé , was about to introduce us to his parents . Ethan looked at me in such a cold way that it chilled me to the bone . He barely blinked , There was contempt and rejection in that look . He fucking hates me , I must have done something to get this reaction . But what ? Until I realized . My boss must have said something to him . Oh boy , no ... he knows I want to stay away from him .
