"You are not going there and that's the end of our conversation." He yelled while tightening his grip on my wrist. I tried to free my wrist but no avail.
"And why should I not?!" I argued.
"Please Aria for the love of God, listen to me! It's not sa...

Aria's POV
I finish all my work and decide to rest for a while. I go downstairs to the cafeteria and drink some black tea.
I drink only black tea with no sugar in it. I don't like other kinds of teas.
Probably because I saw my mom always drinking black tea and when she was no more, it became a habit of mine.
It's one of the way I think about her daily. My mom.
After drinking the tea I go back to the cabin. There's still way too much time to go back home.
Ugh.
I entered the cabin and saw Ashton sitting in his seat. Shit. I thought he won't be there so I didn't knock.
"Hmm I think you're lacking some manners there Ms. Mathews?" He mocked.
"I have my manners, thank you. I just thought you wouldn't be here hence, I didn't knock." I replied crossing my arms.
He smirked. " You thought I wouldn't be in my cabin?" He asked stressing on the word ' my '.
"Well you weren't there before." I argued.
"Okay whatever. Get to work." He said, his smirk falling.
What happened Mr. I always smirk, no more comebacks?
I flipped my hair dramatically before walking towards my desk.
I don't know if he saw that or not, but I looked totally cool doing that.
And you saw yourself how?
I didn't see that I'm cool, I know that I'm cool.
Ugh whatever.
"Ms. Mathews, I need a favor from you." I heard Ashton saying.
"Yes sure." I replied looking towards his direction.
"Umm, I have to complete presentation and notes for a very important meeting which is tomorrow and I forgot to inform you, but I need your help, I can't do it alone, so if you can-"
"I'll stay." I replied way too quickly cutting his rant off.
I was really scared to go back home, after what happened yesterday. And if this could help me stay away for a little more while then I have no problem with it.
He smiled widely and gave a thumbs up before continuing his work.
What the hell?! Can't he even thank me?
I scowled quietly at him and resumed my work.
I was feeling really tired right now. Whatever happened yesterday was taking its toll on me.
"Ms. Mathews, do I have some other meeting today?" He asked.
I checked the schedule and replied. "Yes you have Mr. Fred coming over at 1 PM which is 10 minutes from now."
