Chapter 45: Chapter 45

I parked my car as I reached my favorite spot here in the parking lot of Federico's company. I get out of the car with a straight face and walked with full of class and grace. Everyone looked at me and I know they envy my beautiful physique. Men looked at me with so much desire in their eyes and women looked at me with so much jealousy written on their faces.

"Excuse me, Ma'am." The guard just blocked my way. I give him an insulting look by looking at him from head to toe.

"Yes?" I said.

"You are not allowed to enter." He said.

"Who give you the permission to do that? You are just a stupid low employee here." I said.

But it looks like he was not even affected or intimidated by me and it really pissed me off.

"I am sorry, Ma'am. I was just following orders and it is Ms. Altagracia's instruction.

The women earlier who has those envious eyes are now laughing at me. They see me as a laughing stock and some even laughed out loudly in purpose when they are near where I am standing. Before they get inside they would laugh while looking at me.

This is all Samantha's fault. That b*t** is really challenging me and testing my patience. I know that she don't like me right from the very start. When Federico and I are still together, she would never talked to me or even smile at me when I greet her. She would just look at me with a poker face.

"Good morning, Mr. President." The security guard said while he bowed his head and smiled to the man behind me.

"Fede, good morning." I said and held his hand. He just nod his head and simply put away my hand.

"Good morning." He greeted me back casually.

"Fede, Samantha is forbidding me to get inside. I did not do anything wrong, did I?" I said. But Federico just looked at me.

"Dada." His son called who just got out from the car together with Samantha.

'"Hi little Rick." I said and tried to kiss the two year old toddler but he stayed away and hid himself to Samantha.

"Roger, you know what to do." Samantha said to the security guard.

"Noted Miss." The security guard named Roger replied.

Samantha and Federico's son went inside the building like they did not see me as if I am not existing. I never felt insulted and humiliated in my entire life as there are lots of employees who are about to enter the huge building saw what happened. The most irritating part is that all of them are really happy to see me treated this way. I saw Federico was about to enter the building as well to go next with Samantha.

"Fede, wait please let me in." I begged him.

"What do you want, Lindsay?" He said.

"I have to tell you something." I said.

"What? Make it quick because I am really busy." He said in an impatient way.

"This is confidential so we need to discuss this in your office." I negotiated.

"Okay. Roger, its fine. I'll deal with Samantha." He instructed and the b*ll*h*t guard nod and let go of me.

I walked next to Federico in the hallway and everyone that we passed greeted him. I can't help but feel bad while remembering the past. Two years ago, we walked together in the same place hand in hand but now we have a one-meter distance between us. Back then, when I was still his girlfriend, when his employee greeted him, he also greeted his employees back happily unlike today he just nod. Everything has changed a lot. He is not the same Federico that I know who is always happy and approachable. I noticed that some of his employees are scared of him and intimidated. Some wanted to hide when they saw him.

I wonder if he was like this when we broke up or he became like this because of Emily. I hate to the idea that he became like this because of her.

"Take a seat" Federico said formally as he motioned the visitor's chair in front of his desk.

"Fede, come on. Don't give me that tone. I am not your client or a business partner." I said.

"This is my tone when I am talking to an acquaintance." He said which broke my heart.

"So I am just an acquaintance? Not even a friend?" I asked but he did not reply.

"Lindsay, I have a lot of things to take care of. So tell me what you want to say so I could proceed with my works." He said seems irritated.

"Okay, I understand but I know what I will show you will make you treat me like not just an acquaintance anymore." I said as I took my phone and show the pictures of Emily and David.

I showed it to him one by one. There are pictures where David and Emily hold hands while sitting in Federico's restaurant in Spain. The second picture was David is touching her back and the last was they are embracing each other. The next thing Federico did made me scream a bi because he just snatch my phone on my hand and throw it in the wall. My phone was broken into pieces.

"Federico, what have you done with my phone!" I said in horror.

"Get out!" He screamed.

"Federico I want to be on your side and lean on me. I know you need me." I said as I try to come near him with my arms wide open ready to give him a tight embrace. But he just made a step backward.

"Get out now! While I am still in my right state. I will give you a refund regarding your phone." He said while breathing in and out deeply.

"But Federico, please let me be with you now that you are down." I convinced him."

"I said get out now!" He screamed at the top of his lungs and I saw so much anger in his eyes. I was scared so I have no choice but to get out of his office.

When I got out, I saw Samantha looking suspiciously at me. He was with Federico's son.

"What are you doing here?" She said.

"Fede let me in." I said after I flip my hair. But the door never swung open so I decided to give up since an eyesore was standing next to me.

"Fede huh." She said as she raised her right brow at me. I can't standing breathing the same air with her.

"Excuse me I have to go." I said and raised my brows at her as well. She really is a b*t*h. I will get my hands on you one day. Wait for your turn, I thought.

I left the building furious. It was my chance to be good in Federico's eyes but once again he never lets me. This is really getting very difficult for me. Should I kill that woman so it will be easy for me? Maybe I should. But it is difficult because she is in Spain and Lizzie is a coward for sure she can't do it. I feel so frustrated right now and I don't know what to do. It has been two months and still no progress I am getting impatient. All I did has no effect and all the effort did not work for both Federico and his son.
