Chapter 164: Secretly loving...
Guy’s Hospital
Sam waltzed into her office, only to find Elle there placing files on her desk. Her mobile pressed against her ear, and she was giggling, and a smile was evident on her unassuming face.
It didn’t take a genius to figure out Elle was talking to her secret boyfriend, flirtatiously laughing at whatever he had said on the other line.
The redhead cracked a smile herself; it was the first relaxed smile she had since the morning she realized she was in love with her friend/lover a few days ago. That should have been good news, wasn’t it? He had been clear to her after all about his feelings towards her, about him fancying her.
But that was her main problem now.
He ’fancied’ her.
In contrast, she was ’in love’ with him.
They are both in a completely different realm of emotions, she realized. Something that had kept her up the past few nights.
Too most, having a brain faster than some of the world’s best supercomputers may sound like a blessing. But at times like that, Sam hated it. Like a problem or an equation, as long as she couldn’t solve it or find an answer, it tended to stay in her head. Continuing to nag her, distract her from both her work and sleep.
His words in France were playing over and over in her mind, "I’m not even saying I love you." Which at the time gave her a sense of relief but in her current situation was the bane of her. Karma really is a bitch, she realized.
This is why she didn’t like complications.
It complicated things.
