yesterday." He said with a smirk.
                  "You're lucky that he didn't, because if knew, he'd kill you." She said in a cold voice.
                  "Oh Marie, do you never learn?" He tried to sound disinterested and provoke a reaction out of her, almost as if he truly didn't care that she was seeing someone.
                  "I just learned that I shouldn't get caught up with men like you and that I shouldn't believe them." She said as she forced herself to smile. She grabbed his folders and went around her table.
                  "That lesson, I'll never forget." she said as she placed the folders in his hands, turned around and walked away from him.
                  As she closed the door of her office behind her, she leaned up against them. Her heart was beating fast and her legs became shaky. She covered her hot cheeks with her cold fingers, hoping to cool them down a bit.
                  Her whole body was shaking, she lowered her hands knowing that only Nathan's cold look could cool her body down.
                  She took a deep breath as she tried to stop her heart from beating so fast. At that moment, one of the security officers walked past her. She was all red in the face and leaning against her door. Her shoulder were relaxed, and her arms hung loosely at her sides. Her head was leaning against the door and her eyes looked lifeless.
                  "Are you alright Ms. O'Conner?" The woman asked as she looked curiously at her.
                  Marie jumped at the sudden question. She put her finger on her lips, signaling the woman to be quiet and then she pointed towards her office, signaling that there was someone inside.
                  "Excuse me?" The woman asked, confused.
                  "I'm alright." She whispered after she took a deep breath. Once again, she gave her the sign to keep it quiet and just keep on walking.
                  The woman walked away as she shook her head.
                  "This is just what I needed today." Marie sighed.
                  As she heard Nathan's footsteps inside her office, she shot up from the door and disappeared down the hallway.
     

Chapter 15
     
     
                  Nathan stayed in her office, he turned around and sat at the edge of her table, he crossed his arms on his chest and stared towards the door, completely lost in thought.
                  A lot of times in his life, consciously, he would do things which weren't right, a hundred times he swore to himself that he would stop, but somehow, his pride would always win out and he would make the same mistakes that he made before.
                  He knew that he loved to see her smiling more than anything, but everything he did simply annoyed her, and he continued doing it, knowing full well that she would only get angrier and angrier with him.
                  He thought seriously about talking to her about what happened and finally leaving the past where it belongs. However, he felt that he still wasn't ready for that, he still wasn't ready to let the book close on him.
                  He knew that logically, what he was doing was a long shot and not even worth pursuing, but for some reason he kept trying to follow his heart rather than his brain.
                  She wasn't to blame because she couldn't love him enough to leave the man that she was dating, he started to think logically again. It would be best if he simply forgot the past and everything that happened between them and simply establish a professional relationship with her, which was necessary for him to finish the work that he was sent there to do in the first place.
                  It would be nice if he could only have the courage to stand in front of her and wish her all the happiness in the world
