Beverly

Clyde Dante

“I’m so sad that you’re going to New York again.” Anna pouted and I chuckled.

“I will come here often, don’t worry.” I said.

“Or I will go there…” She said and I nodded. I hugged her once again and kissed her forehead.

“Take care.”

“I trust you, Clyde.” She said as she looked me in the eye and I nodded. I turned to my family and hugged my mom and dad first.

“Work hard again, kid.” My dad said and I nodded.

“Thanks dad.”

“Take care, Clyde.” My mom said as I hugged her.

“Will do, mom.” I turned to grandma and hugged her.

“Take care, Clyde.”

“Thankyou grandma and I will take care.” I smiled.

“Good.” She caressed my cheek and waved. I entered the airport and left all of them. I got into the airplane right away because I checked in my luggages earlier do all I need to do is going into the airplane.

As soon as I got into the airplane, I slept because I’m so tired packing up last night. Tomorrow I will get back to work, I mean I already have a company and it’s okay if I go away for 6 months.

I already told my secretary that I’ll be back and I will start working tomorrow morning.

When I arrived in New York, I called my family and Anna that I already arrived. I got into the taxi and told the driver my address. I leaned back to the car seat and sighed big time.

New York really reminds me of Beverly. Suddenly I remember the car and the phone that she gave me. I need to return it back to her.

As soon as I arrived, I found the new car parked in front of my house. I can’t believe this. It’s exactly the same car that I had but in the newest version. I walked into the house and found the new iPhone on the table. I looked at it in disbelief.

I walked upstairs to my room and my body froze to see Beverly’s picture scattered on my bed. My camera was still there and even the contract. I looked at the picture one by one and that’s when I started to realize that I really miss her. I sat down on my bed and took one of her pictures. I looked at it and sighed.

How could she leave me without saying goodbye?

I took all her photos away and put it in the trash along with the contract. I’m really pissed that she left me like that. I can’t believe her at all.

I took a long shower and why am I starting to remember Beverly? Why? I almost punched the wall big time because I’m fucking crazy.

I walked out from my bathroom and went straight to bed because I’m damn tired. Tomorrow is a big day that I will go back to my company and I need to prepare that. I went to sleep.

I opened my eyes and checked my phone. It’s 8. 46 in the morning. I got up and walked to my bathroom. I forgot my cl… shit! I just jumped into the shower. I got out and changed into my white shirt and black pants. I got out and took my car ke… I took my old car that has been repaired instead of using the car that Beverly gave me.

As I walked out the door, I saw the new car again and again and all I want to do now is to return the car. I hate seeing… It’s like seeing Beverly but in the shape of a car. I got into the car and drove towards my office.

On the way to the office, I tried to call Beverly’s phone a few times and yes it’s unavailable. I guess she changes her phone number. I need to find her and return the fucking car and phone.

My phone rang and it’s Anna, oh yeah I have a girlfriend and I almost forgot about her.

“Hello.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Hey baby.” She said.

“Hey, it’s 6. 30 there… you’re awake?”

“I miss you.” She said in a sweet tone.

“I miss you too, I’m currently going to work.”

“Oh… So how does it feel to get back to work?” She asked.

“Kinda weird but I need to get back on my track.”

“Make a lot of money, babe.”

“Of course.” I chuckled.

“Have you eaten?”

“Nope, I got up late because I’m so tired. I’ll grab some bread later on at the office.” I said.

“Good… that’s my boyfriend.”

“What a lucky guy…”

“I love you.” It’s not weird to hear because she often said it.

“Me too…”

“Bye.” She said and ended the call. I sighed and why is it so hard for me to tell her that I love her? I do love her… I think… maybe… I guess. I don’t know.

As soon as I arrived at the office, I walked into the building and walked into the lift. I pressed my office floor and looked down to the ground.

“Mr. Dante, welcome back.” I looked up and found my secretary waiting for me. I walked out the lift and my body froze when I saw… Beverly.

She’s currently talking to Peter, I gestured my secretary to leave and I walked towards her slowly. It feels like she’s not real but she is. My breath got hitch when I saw her side figure. She was talking seriously with Peter about the drawing.

“I’m gonna give this to my boss, do you not understand that we’re working together to make something. This is our project not only yours!” She bursted at Peter and when she turned her body… her eyes widen to see me.

“Clyde.” I was going to say something but my lips were frozen and can’t say anything.

“If you’ll excuse me.” She said politely and she walked pass by me. I turned my body and walked towards her. I caught her wrist and she turned to me.

“I want you to take the car back.”

“I’m a woman with my words, Clyde. I’m not taking it back.”

“Don’t you forget about our contract, Beverly. I still have all the evidence about you.”

“Give it to the police, I’ll be willing to go to the court if that’s necessary.” She pulled her wrist away from me and pressed the lift button.

“Still a bitch.” I said and then left her alone. I gestured to my secretary to go into my office room.

“What’s the project?”

“The Hastington asked our company and the Architect Hive to design a building. There are 2 architects from our side and 2 from their side. Peter, Vin, Ms. Carington and Mr. Altorn are the ones who design the building.” Kezia said.

“I’ll take over, put Peter in another project. I heard that Cesantio does need a person to design their airplane place?”

“Yes, sir. He just came by here yesterday and he wants you and Peter who designed it.”

“Send Peter there first and I’ll take over the Hastington project. Call Han and I want to meet him along with Ms. Carington and Mr. Alton. Make an appointment for it.”
