Chapter 14
My family and friends had warned me several times when I was dating him but I was naive enough to trust him.
I prayed to God several times wishing Brandon wouldn’t cause any scene here.]]
“Hey guys!” Brandon greeted us as soon as the elevator opened. My mood soured seeing him standing in front of us with his messy blond hair. He was attractive I would say but now he just disgusts me.]
“Be nice to him. We need the contract with Bolton’s Jake whispered in my ear.
“Be nice to him? Are you mad?” I whispered back
“Uhmm- let’s go get breakfast” Brandon said hesitantly giving us an awkward smile noticing our eye roll. Without another word we strode past him into the dinning hall. .]]
Chris Bolton, son of Mr.Charles Bolton and his sister Clara were already seated with Brandon’s mother Lisa Bolton. The Harringtons, Smith Harrington and his wife Taylor were seated on the opposite side of the Boltons.
I sat next to Taylor along with my brother and Brandon sat next to Jake in disappointment.[]
“Good morning dear! Sorry Charles couldn’t join us. He’s in an online conference and will be joining us in the evening” Lisa gave us a big smile stretching almost to the ends of her face.
“Where’s your husband Lily?” Clara smirked.
“Who?”
jake kicked me from under the table and I shrilled in pain earning looks from people around me.]
“Uhm he was tired so I didn’t want to bother him“[]
Actually I forgot all about him. He was a fake husband and my dad clearly said that I could divorce him after our group become steady. So I had no motive to take our relationship a step further.
“Oh good morning Marcus. Come here” Chris looked behind me an called out to Marcus, who was scowling to the point his face would split, to come and eat.
My eyes widened seeing him.]
God Marcus is hot. A pure Adonis.
He was wearing a white shirt with beige pants. His disheveled hair almost covering his piercing green eyes. I stared at him for
a while checking him out until he gave me an annoying glare. My cheeks reddened but thankfully he didn’t notice it.
He sat at the head of the table as breakfast was being served.
“Hey Marcus you haven’t changed since the last time I saw you. Last time was great“]
Clara gave Marcus a huge smile and in return Marcus smiled.[]
What? He smiled? For her? That was surprising.
Last time was great, What the hell does that mean. Did they do it? Even though this was all fake I didn’t want someone like Clara clinging onto him.]
Questions were running through my mind and I felt my knuckles tightening clenching around the silver utensils.
“Hey babe you want more salad?” Brandon pointed at the salad beside him
I would’ve been pissed if he called me babe, but under the circumstances I gave him a huge smile.[]
“Sure thank you
Marcus looked at Brandon for a second and kept his head low, showing that he didn’t care.
After breakfast I went to the balcony of our room and called Chloe to ask how everything was going in the company. But obviously that was a mistake since all she could do was ask about my marriage which wasn’t really going well considering Marcus knew Clara. I mean, I don’t care if he’s friendly with another girl–just friendly because I hate cheaters. But this is Clara–that’s a big fat no.
Through the corner of my eyes I saw the door open and Marcus walk in with a frown tugged on his lips.
“I have to go now, bye” I said to Chloe.]
“Bye ma’am and tell me more about your Mr. Hottle later” She giggled knowing I would disagree with the word your. “Love you
ma’am‘
I smiled. “Love you too. Bye”
I turned around and saw Marcus throwing me a disgusted glance. He shook his head in dismay and sat on the bed, taking his laptop out.
Wait, did he I snorted. Did he really think I was cheating on him?
I tucked the phone inside my pants and walked back into the room.
Marcus looked up at me with hatred in his eyes. “I don’t care what you do with your men. But make sure anyone else doesn’t know so that you won’t tarnish my name“]]
“My God” I gave a humourless laugh. “Well husband, hate to break it to you but the world doesn’t revolve around you”
Marcus’s lips twisted into a scowl. I moved closer to the bed and folded my arms. “Tell me have I done something to you?”
Marcus didn’t answer
I smirked. “That’s what I thought. You’re just projecting your own frustration on me. Please find someone else to that. I have beller work to do. I’m going now, bye” I gave him a wave and walked out the door
I went to the beach and walked in the calm silence.
“Hey”
I was peacefully strolling through beach until Brandon had to come and ruin the moment.]]
“What are you doing here Brandon?”
“Here? I came to see you” he looked at me as if it was obvious.
