Chapter 9: Jealousy

As I woke up today, I followed my daily routine. Hit the gym, showered, got ready, had breakfast and then drove to the office. I was driving happily today as I got an email from Mr. Gross’s, saying he wants me to attend his private ball with my family.

It’s a good time to ask Rozine if she wants to attend the ball as my date. Yes, I’ll take Rozine with me and not my mother as she’s not interested in any balls. She says she’ll attend the only ball/party when it’s my own wedding.

Typical Italian Mothers, you know.

As I reached the office, I took the elevators to my floor. I was on my way to my cabin when I heard Rozine’s voice. I looked in her direction and saw her with some guy.

She has a boyfriend? That too in my office? I don’t remember allowing hookups.

I couldn’t see his face clearly but I was certain he pulled her by her waist. An uncomfortable, hot feeling ran through my body which I never felt in my life. My heart ached but it wasn’t a familiar one.

It’s not anger, it’s not rag
