My nails and toes were perfectly perfect , they were a light peach color .
Olivia had fake purple nails and her toe nails painted a coal blue .
We walked out the salon careful not to smudge our nail polish as we walk .
" I can't believe you told Nick that I'm seeing Ethan " I grumbled and Olivia smiles sheepishly .
" Sorry I just wanted him to know that your seeing someone too " Olivia says .
" Well thanks for that " I grumbled as we get in her car .
" I was doing what's best for you , when was the last time you had a boyfriend besides Erick he didn't count because you guys were friends with benefits " Olivia says .
Erick Poizen was my friends with benefits back in my junior year at Uni we were friends with benefits for seven months before he found a girlfriend and broke things off .
I do see him around but we don't even make eye contact and from what I heard he got his girlfriend pregnant and dumped her .
What an asshole
" When's the last time you had a boyfriend ?" I shot back .
The last time Olivia had a boyfriend was in high school his named was Ben and they broke up after graduation because he was going off to England to study in medical .
Olivia did hook up with guys here and there but she never settled down .
" Having a boyfriend is the least of my worries right now , right now i'm striving to pass this internship and maybe making my own clothing line and I don't have to worry about stupid Andrew barking orders at me like I'm his slave like what the hell is wrong with that guy is he on his period or something I swear — "
" deep breath Liv " I instruct her and she inhales then exhales.

" Sorry it's just . . Andrew drives me nuts " she tucks her hair behind her ears .
" I'm thinking of dying my hair blonde I've been a brunette for a long time " she admits .
" do what you have to do I'm not gonna stop you " I tell her .

I was at my office sneaking around because I had errands to do .
Hannah is working here and I don't want her to know I work here too .
I peeked around the corner going to get coffee for my boss .
When I made sure coast was clear and tiptoed to the coffee and copy room and halted in my steps as the familiar blonde stood making copied while typing on her phone .
I turned to leave but she spoke .
" Lydia ? I didn't know you worked here too ?" She says and I turn seeing a smile on her face .
Why do I have to bump into you and Nick all the time ?!
" Well you know now " I grit my teeth .
" That's so cool . . If you don't mind me asking why do you have two jobs ?" She wondered getting the copies .
That's none of your business
" I'm saving up money for this car I want " I admit and she nods .
" what kind of car is it ?" She ask .
She asks so many questions .
" A white Ferrari " I say .
" wow , those are really expensive , Nick bought me one for our two year anniversary last year " she beams bragging .
Oh I forgot Nick was a professional football player of course he got the money to get her that .
" That's good for you " I go towards the coffee machine grabbing the foam cup to make the coffee .
" You know I still don't understand why you ran off like that " she says and I turned seeing her eyes narrow annoyance etched on her face.

" What do you mean ?" I was quite taken aback from her new attitude.
" Don't act like you don't know . Nick proposed to you five years back and confessed all his love for you and you run off without a explanation , he was wrecked when he entered Yale and I was there to comfort him . I'm so glad he moved on " she sneered at me .
My mouth gaped open and I narrowed my eyes at her .
" Listen here Barbie " I use the word Olivia calls her " — don't just think you can come in here and lash out at me . I wasn't ready to get married I was barely eighteen and we were to young , I don't need to explain shit to you because this is between me and Nick , now why don't you leave and go back to where you came from " I snapped at her and she stared at me with disgust before stomping out almost crashing into Leah who looks taken aback .
" What's up with her ?" Leah says holding a stack of papers .
" I have no idea " I muttered .

I walked in the house , the house eerie silent .
" Olivia !?" I called and I heard sniffles I turned on the living room light seeing Olivia curled on the couch her mascara running down her cheeks her hair a mess .
I rushed towards her " oh my god what happened ? "
" Andrew is what happened , he humiliated me in front of everyone calling me mean names saying I'm a immature and all these mean names " she sniffs wiping her red runny nose .
I pull her towards me hugging her as she silently cried on my shirt .
I hated when Olivia was like this it pained me to see her all upset .
" Let's go " I grabbed her hand pulling her up .
" Where are we going ?" She asks slipping on her heels .
" Were going to talk to the asshole that made you upset " I say .
Minutes later were in the building and I snapped at everyone asking where Andrew is .
We go towards his office I slammed open the door and walked in slamming it closed .
Andrew looked up from his laptop and raised his brow at us a scowl on his handsome face .
" May I help you ?" He snaps his eyes trained on Olivia with fury .
" What the hell is wrong with you ?!" I snapped and Olivia grabs my hand .
" Lyd let's just leave " she whispers .
" No " I yank my hand crossing my arms starring down at Andrew .
" You had no right to humiliate Olivia like that , she's worked hard to get where she is and she doesn't need a jackass to be crude to her she doesn't deserve this , she's been through a lot and you have no right to make her upset . " I say and the office is quiet .
Andrew sighs running his hands through his face looking extremely tired .
He rub his strong smooth jaw and looks at Olivia guilt swarmed his green eyes .
" Olivia . . I'm sorry for my actions , sorry if my attitude made you upset it's how I am , it's how I rile up the interns . Now if you excuse me I have business to do " he stood fixing his tie shooing us out his office .
" Thanks so much Lydia your the best" Olivia hugs me .
" I am aren't I ?" I tease as we both laugh .
