Chapter 246 - Dense Figure

Blake arrived work a little earlier than usual. He had just a day to complete the task at hand and thus he was working really hard at it. The more he worked the more he realized he had missed this part of him, and the realized that the more he played with the keys of the keyboard the more happy he became. It wouldn't be wrong to say that he felt more alive now, than ever. It felt really good.

Blake was still working when his mind wandered to a certain someone he hasn't seen all day. He looked at the time and it was way past the time she had come looking for him yesterday — not entirely looking for him, but had accidentally met him there.

The smile on his face disappeared when he realized she hasn't made an appearance this morning. He remembered how she had been all happy, smiling, playfully and chatty with that Ethan guy last night. The thought of Ethan's happy face and his closeness with Amy suddenly made a him comfortable.

He was sure she was back to work, but why hasn't she come looking for him yet? Did that guy ask her not to stay too close to him or what? Were they really dating?

He shook his head in denial.

For some reason he didn't want that to be true. As a matter of fact he didn't know why wanted that. Why he suddenly despised the idea of Amy being with someone else? He didn't think he wanted Amy to date that guy. He didn't like him, don't ask him why because he also didn't know.

Hold on!, Why was he suddenly having such weird thoughts?

He shouldn't be concerned about Amy or whoever she wanted to date. That had nothing to do with him.

"Blake keep your act together. You're acting weird" He chided himself, and continued working. He should be more focused on this than on anything else.

His resolution didn't last up to thirty minutes, when he suddenly stood up and strolled out of the room. A part of him kept telling to head back to what he was doing, but the larger part of him wanted to see what she was up to. He took the elevator to the floor where her office was.

"Good morning sir"

"Good morning sir" Echoed through the room when Blake sauntered into Amy's office. He briefly nodded in response to the the greetings he received, which was very unlike him.

His eyes looked towards her desk and he was surprised to find it empty, but his eyes didn't meet the things that were lying on her desk. unknowingly to him, his countenance suddenly changed when he saw them.

He snapped his head towards the ladies looking at him but busy pretending like they weren't.

"Where's Ms Walker?" He asked no one in particular, but he expected an answer nonetheless.

"She walked saw someone off to the lobby" Cassandra replied. Well she was the departmental 'busy body', so it was expected she'd be the one to reply.

Blake snapped his head back to the bouquet and gift bag lying on her desk one more time.

"I think it was her boyfriend, he actually brought those" Cassandra gossiped. Blake felt his mood turn dark. He couldn't really explain. what he felt at the moment, but the sound of the word 'boyfriend' suddenly made his body act up in a very funny way.

He turned to Cassandra and said, "Thank you," with a pensive look, before walking out.

"Who said that guy was her boyfriend?" Amanda, Cassandra's desk colleague asked, while the others looked at her as they all had the same question.

"Wasn't it obvious. Haven't she been receiving gifts from him for a while now? This is the first time he's making and appearance, and didn't you see the way they were looking and smiling at each other. Tell me, when has Ms Walker ever smiled like that? And who wouldn't date such an handsome man?" She reasoned, as she looked at them like they were all stupid and dense.

The others kept quiet as they tried to reason with her. Cassandra looked at all their dumb faces and signed.

"You all are too dense" She hissed.

Blake who unfortunately was still standing by the door heard all Cassandra had said. Hos 'Was it the Ethan guy again? Were they really dating now?' Blake asked himself.

He shook his head to discard all these thoughts and unnecessary worries that were bogging his mind. It wasn't any much of his concern if she was dating anyone, most especially that guy. He shouldn't be bothered about it, why should he be in the first place.

'Blake go back to work' He told himself.

He made his way to the elevator, he looked at the buttons and instead of pressing the button for the tenth floor which was where he had come from, he found himself pressing the button for the First floor. It wasn't until the elevator started descending that he realized what he had done.

"What are you doing?" He scolded himself. He stood rooted even when the door opened upon arrival. His hand moved towards the button but he couldn't continue.

A part of him wanted to confirm if the person who had brought the flowers for her was indeed Ethan. He had given her flowers too, but she never talked about them.

Blake didn't know when or how he had walked out of the elevator to the lobby.

He felt a sudden rush of anger and disappointment when he saw the two 'love birds' standing in close to the reception. He could see the happy smile on Amy's face as she spoke to the guy.

"Thanks for the flowers and chocolates" Amy said appreciatively, as she looked at Ethan while he shrugged.

"Well I thought you deserved one from me, especially after when you've been received some in my name" He told her, making her scoff.

"Blame that on our two mischievous mothers"

"I will"

"Hey you to go, your crew members are waiting" Amy told him, gesturing to the huge tour bus packed in front of the company, which was attracting a lot of attention. Ethan's last tour was to begin in two days and he had to leave.

Ethan looked at the boss and sighed. He really had to go, but he was a bit reluctant. A lot of things were going to change in his life about this tour. Some doors were about to be closed while others will open. And same goes for some relationships in his life.

"I'll miss you shuga"

"I'll miss you too. But don't worry I'm going to watch each concert on line" She told him.

"Well that means I've got to put my best in my performance since my favorite fangirl will be watching" He flicked her jaw teasefully.

"You betcha" She tilted her chin at him, making him chuckle.

"Okay I've got to go" He said as he pulled her into a hug. His eyes darted to the side to the side and he saw the familiar figure standing feet away.

"Seems lover boy is has turned purple" Ethan said with a wicked and taunting smile which was only visible to Blake but not Amy.

"Hmm?" Amy mumbled out in confusion. She tried to pull away to know what he was talking about, but Ethan tightened his hold around her as he turned to glance at Blake one more time.

He placed a kiss on her Amy's forehead before pulling away from the hug

"My offer still stands if ever you're ready to make him come clean" Ethan said with a knowing smile as he used his chin to gesture at the brooding man not standing afar off, before walking away. Amy turned and saw Blake staring at them.

She turned again to look at Ethan with an accusing frown, and as if he knew he turned around and smiled at her, before half yelling across the lobby, "I'll miss you babe, don't miss me too much. I love you" He winked at her before hurrying out of the building.

'That should be enough for that dense figure' He smirked to himself.
