Chapter 897 - Both Are Hurting (2)



Within two seconds Ellie was out of sight. Her figure disappeared between parked cars.

Jasper rubbed his temples while trying to understand how did his world collapse so quickly? He remembers the excitement when Faith brought into his office that invitation and a neatly wrapped outfit. And how he checked himself after he showered in his office… and how he eagerly waited to see Ellie at that fashion show… and now she is gone, and he has a gaping hole in his chest and it\'s difficult to breathe.

Without thinking, he got his phone and dialed Ellie\'s. His heart stopped when he heard her phone from the front of the car. Of course, she dropped it when he kissed her… out of revenge. Because he was angry. He was a jerk and hurt her… and she still wanted to explain herself. He does not deserve Ellie.

Ellie walked toward the elevators and she stopped when she realized that she is a mess. Where is she going, exactly? Is she still going to attend the event? Even if she is not crying, she is not in a state where she can have a proper conversation with anyone. And this was important! So many high profile existing and potential clients are up there on the fifth floor, waiting to praise her current collection and to hear hints about the next one. And everything is ruined. Because of him! If not for Jasper, she would not be in such a sorry state.

Ellie\'s emotions were all over the place.

She built EY from nothing, alone, without anyone\'s help! She is not like most of the rich kids of her generation who got to inherit family businesses. She did it ON HER OWN! And she allowed herself to fall in love and to be shaken at this important moment.

\'I would be better off if I didn\'t allow Jasper to get close. Close enough to hurt me. Before him, I was not happy but I was content... and I was not hurting.\'

Her tears poured uncontrollably.

Now what? Ellie heard the elevator\'s ding-sound and she ducked between two SUVs. She can\'t let anyone to see her like this. Ellie told herself to calm down and to call a cab and then she will go home and then… she does not know what then, but she needs to stop these damned tears from falling.

Why is it hurting so much? Why are her hands shaking?

Yes, she didn\'t tell him that she owns EY, but he is a jerk! Just like all the others!

Jasper wondered, does Ellie really have a special place in his heart? Because as soon as he felt that things are not going his way, he acted like an absolute asshole. Would he do that if he really cares for her? Isn\'t love about seeing the world through pink lens where other party can\'t do anything wrong? And no matter what she does he should forgive her?

The only thing he can do to make this more bearable is to give Ellie her phone back. If she does not have her phone, he has no way of contacting her, and he knows that she is depending on her phone for many things… and that includes exchanging messages with him. Will she ever text him again?

He reached under the front passenger\'s seat and fished out her phone.

Jasper knows that the event is on the fifth floor. He will find Ellie, give her the phone and leave. He is not sure how he will face her.

Maybe tomorrow after some sleep and a lot of alcohol things look better. Right now, everything is dark and it\'s not because of dim lighting inside this parking lot. And he really feels like drinking. A lot.

He was almost at the elevators when he heard something.

Jasper found Ellie crouched with her back against a concrete pillar, almost completely hidden between two SUVs. Her head was down, and face hidden in her palms… and her shoulders shook. Oh, God, she is crying… Jasper felt his heart break in two. And he was bleeding profusely by the time he realized that both of those pieces belong to her.

"I am sorry.", he said when he scooped her in his arms and carried her back into his car.

When they reached her villa, Ellie was sleeping. Neither of them spoke a word during the ride.

Ellie was practically non-responsive. If not for faint sobs which escaped her occasionally, he would need to check if she is alive. And he didn\'t know what to say.

Ellie was ashamed that he saw her crying, so she turned away from him, and ended up sleeping off after some time. Well, she was tired. Last few nights neither of them got enough sleep between cuddling and making love, and now the fatigue fueled by crying caught up.

The maids let Jasper in and showed him where Ellie\'s bedroom is. They are comfortable leaving him alone with their sleeping Miss because they know that he is her boyfriend. He was at the villa more than once. And lately she is spending nights at his place.

Jasper placed Ellie on the bed and slowly removed her boots before pulling a cover on top of her.

Jasper was thinking for some time if he should stay or go, but then decided to leave. After how he acted, he should not be surprised if Ellie does not want to see him for a while. And he made her cry. Based on how she tried hiding her face and suppressing her sobs, he can tell that she does not cry often, and that she was embarrassed.

Jasper left a lingering kiss on her forehead and headed out with difficulty. He was confident that the pain in his chest is increasing with every step because he left his heart with Ellie on that bed.

He turned off the light and noticed that there is a strong light from the side. He went to turn off that one as well, and saw that it\'s her work desk.

Sketches, clothing designs littered the desk surface… some rough, and some are very well done with colors and notes on the side and everything, almost like photographs. She is very skilled. He held his breath when he looked at the wall above desk. He saw… himself. Numerous sketches of him. Only then he observed that on the designs there are people wearing those clothes, and on the ones which are for guys it\'s… him. She is using him as a model for her sketches. In each of those drawings he is smiling. Is that how she sees him? Smiling? Is that how she will see him after she wakes up?

Jasper sat on the chair and observed each of them carefully. He was not surprised when he found one completely colored page of him wearing exactly the same outfit he is wearing now.

Jasper remembered how she told him that she is working on a new line for men… and that what she is sending him to wear for tonight is still not available for sale. Is he her inspiration? That is the only conclusion after he saw all these sketches in front of him.
