17-MARK
An hour later, I walked into my office and when I was in front of Alex, I punched him in his left shoulder.
“Ouch! What is wrong with you?” He asked rubbing himself.
“Stay away from her. You hear me? Stay away from her!” I exclaimed waving my index finger in front of his face, as if he were a child being scolded.
“For the love of God, Mark! What are you talking about?”
“Olivia. Who else?”
“Ah...” he had the nerve to smile.” Well, you have bad times, but not bad tastes, uh?”
Annoyed, I lashed out at him again.
I don't think I never said this, but I’d never been in a fight and maybe that's why I ended up with my right arm behind my back.
“If I wanted to hurt you, you’d already be on the ground choking on your own saliva.” He said in my ear “But sinc

As promised, Mark had stayed away from me in the weeks that followed.He greeted me cordially with agood morningorgood afternoon,but beyond that, nothing happened.The incursions into our offices during working hours were over, as well as looking for some touching, the looks full of promise, the sensual and wet stolen kisses in a hall, elevator or car.And his insistence on wanting to make me change my mind about our relationship ended too;Although his insistence had exasperated me, today I missed it too much.Every time I saw him in the corridors of the company or in the conference room, I wanted to start screaming like crazy and tell him to take me right there in front of everyone so they’ll found out we were together for once.But that was impossible, at least for me, because I knew I hurt him again with my way of acting, but I preferred to see him with broken f
