Chapter 146: One More Than The Other
Emily had two options now.
Go back to her old job at Haven Group and become Derek Haven’s PA again. That was option one.
Or, on the other hand, she could stay on at Bee’s Diner, keep being a waitress, biding her time until she figured out something else. That would have been her option too. But if Emily were to say that she was seriously considering staying at Bee’s Diner indefinitely, then she would have been lying to herself.
And since she was not in the habit of telling herself lies, Emily had to go with the honest option and admit that she was leaning heavily, very, very, heavily, towards going back to Haven Group. In fact, Emily had already made a decision on which option she would be taking.
She was going back to Haven Group. Come Monday, she would be back at her old job, once again wearing the title of Emily Molson personal assistant to the CEO. She had told Derek to come back again that night. Had told him that it was because she was still thinking things through. But in all honesty, even back at the diner, she had already made her choice. The only reason that she had not given him a straight answer then and there, was because she had not wanted to make a fool of herself.
If she had given her answer back then, Emily was pretty certain that she would have embarrassed herself. While some might have said that that was not important since the man had already caught her acting like a fool, singing and dancing with a mop in her hand.
Emily would have disagreed vehemently. After all, when she had been singing and dancing, that time that he had walked in, Emily had thought that she was completely alone. She had not been expecting anyone to show up.
But the issue with her telling him that she was coming back was completely different. Had she done it in that moment, she would have done it while squealing like a die-hard music fan at a concert. And that was not a good look at all. It was not professional. And since she was going back to being his PA. She actually cared, whether or not he saw her in a professional light. Which was why Emily was taking the time to let it all sink in. Making her way home this time, Emily did not have to listen to upbeat music in an effort to try and cheer herself up. No, in fact, this time she was not listening to any music at all.
She just had her headphones on, but there was no sound coming from them. The music came solely from her. Emily broke into a random song, humming the tune under her breath as she walked and every few steps she would jump a little bit.
