CheckMate 4: Winner Takes All by Tiece

because of Monty’s actions. “He has found out that the slut is not a saint.”
     
    She knew that Monty could be cold hearted if he wanted too or if he was hurt. She’d seen that reaction a few times while growing up and hanging around him over the years. He could definitely be a stubborn one and at that moment she was actually glad that MiKayla had caught the bad end of the stick first before she made it there. Otherwise, it may have been her.  
     
    She sat for a moment thinking that maybe she should call him since MiKayla was now inside of the car and heading out of the parking lot. However, she was nervous. She hadn’t seen Monty since the day he’d caught her inside of Brendon’s hotel room. Instead of wasting her time calling or messaging his phone, she decided not to do either; only show up to his office in hopes that he’d talk with her. She hated that things had gone this far between them and seeing him standing in the doorway of his building did something to her. There were feelings that were still there; unresolved feelings and she had to figure out what she was going to do about them.
     
    She opened up her car door again. “Fuck it,” she whispered. “I might be leaving here like MiKayla, but at least I will have gotten my point across.” She said then opened up her umbrella, stepped out of her car, and then headed for the double doors of the building. As she walking up to the doors a woman and man was also entering ahead of her.
     
    Damn, now he might have clients . She thought but continued to walk on inside of the building behind them. Once they were inside of the office, Candy cleared her throat then asked the couple, “Who are you here to see?”
     
    The man politely responded, “Rico Mack.”
     
    Thank God , Candy whispered. She looked over to see Rico’s office door shut, but still instructed the couple to just knock on the door and Rico should’ve been in there to assist them. They thanked her then headed towards Rico’s office door as she headed up the stairs. Her heart was racing a hundred miles per second with each step that she took and when she reached the top of the staircase it only got worse. She looked down on the first floor to see that Rico had opened his office doors and let his clients in.
     
    “My God, maybe I should turn around.” She whispered, but her feet continued to gradually make their way to Monty’s office. She passed by Maurice’s office, peeking inside it. He apparently hadn’t made it to work yet and she was glad. She didn’t want any type of eye contact with him right about now. She wouldn’t even know how to look at him. Before she knew it, she was at Monty’s door. Just go in, she coached herself.
     
    “Knock, knock,” she said tapping on his already opened office door. Monty looked away from his computer with a surprised look on his face. Candy’s heart dropped to the floor the minute they made eye contact. In just that second, she felt maybe she should’ve left when she was inside of her car. “Uh… Hey,” she hesitantly spoke. “I saw MiKayla leaving and thought that I should come back inside so we can talk.”
     
    Monty didn’t say a word. He just stared at her. He thought that she’d left earlier and he was cool with that. However, now she was back and he didn’t know what to say to her.
     
    “Well uh… Well I uh…” Candy stuttered. Monty not saying anything was making this conversation extremely difficult to have. “Uh, is this a good time?” She finally got out.
     
    “Actually it’s not.” Monty said finally looking away from her and down at his Rolex timepiece on his wrist. “I have a client coming in about thirty minutes. Can you make this quick?” He said turning away from her then looking back at his computer screen like he wasn’t fazed that she was standing there.
     
    Candy wanted to say something, but she couldn’t. She didn’t like the cold shoulder that he as giving her. After just standing there for
