After our little heart to heart conversation Carter and I have dinner in front of the tv while watching friends. After we cuddle on the couch, I don’t know how long we sprawled on the couch like that, connected and close, my head on his shoulder and his hands caressing the curve of my spine.
I check the time to see it’s almost 11 pm and I was supposed to meet with Alessia hours ago, I already have angry messages from her.
"I have to go." I say looking at my phone.
Carter pressed his lips to my temple and murmured, “Stay.”
“I can’t Alessia will kill me if I don’t meet her in the next 30 minutes.” I say still cuddled against him.
He hugged me. “You’re coming back though?” He asked.
“It’s already late, see you tomorrow at work?” I ask.
“I’m flying to Silicon Valley tomorrow.” He says nuzzling his nose on my hair.
“When will you be back?” I asked pouting.

I slid across the bench seat to the opposite side and adjusted my dress.I breathed him in, telling myself to relax and enjoy his company. We’re both quiet, he’s typing on his phone not paying attention to me.“Carter are you sure this is okay? Maybe we should just go separately.” I say bringing his attention to me.“Why? You’r

Carter’s POV I lay in the darkness, my gaze fixed sightlessly on the ceiling as Isabella lay nestled in the crook of my arm. I knew she was awake. She hadn’t yet settled into the soft breathing and limp body he associated with her rest. But she lay there quietly, curled into my side, almost as though she were processing everything that had occurred. I was a bastard. I knew it. Suffered some regret. When she told me the truth about herself I believed her or atleast I thought I did till I ran into her father in Silicon Valley few days ago. She had told me her father didn’t know she was working for me, another lie. But when I met he knew she was working for me, he insinuated she had taken the job as a little project before she finally goes back to working with him. Meaning she was spying on kings telecom as her little project. Her father though doesn’t know my relationship status with her giving me a leverage to whe

Isabella POV I’m in Carter’s office. I’m sitting on the sitting area away from his desk having lunch while Carter worked. The whole office has been buzzing with gossip about Carter and I, few people who were at his sisters fashion show saw us together so there has been speculations about our relationship. No one has directly asked me anything as of yet but I have been receiving glances all over the office all day. So I was glad when Carter asked me to have lunch with him in his office, technically he’s working and I’m eating. Carter’s intercom line buzzed, and he frowned at the interruption. He had told me he has a busy day working on some project, he didn’t really expand but he looked busy when I walked in and I heard him tell his secretary he didn’t want to be disturbed. “What,” he barked into the intercom. Ella’s nervous voice wavered over the line. “I know you said you weren’t to be disturbed,

And where is home?" George asks raising his eyebrows. "My apartment." I muttered suddenly on instantly on alert. George has voiced out his concern, clearly not approving of my non relationship with Isabella. I didn't want it to be a bone of contention between us. Before I could say anything, George continued. "Sounds to me like you're in a relationship with Isabella." "It's not a relationship, it's a sham." "Really? Does Isabella know it's just a sham?

I don’t see him again till he calls me to his office to have lunch with him which by the way he didn’t stay. He was insanely busy. Three conference calls. Two meetings, plus countless other calls he had to return. So there was no crazy hot office sex to alleviate the burn, or any making up after our fight. Or maybe the insanely hot sex we had last night was us making up. Anyway I have lunch alone in his office. And suddenly I was back to sulking, even as ridiculous as that made me feel, I missed him. By closing time, I was hugely relieved. Couldn’t wait to get the hell out of the office, don’t get me wrong I love my job here.

Cruel Intentions CHAPTER 42
Carter’s POV Isabella was icing me out, well can’t say I don’t deserve it because I do. I knew if people saw us getting intimate at the glass room they would probably be repercussions and I didn’t do anything to stop it. I didn’t even do anything to stop it when George told someone had recorded us and if I wanted to do something to stop the video of us getting out. Hell I even knew someone was recording us but I did nothing because I’m selfish and a huge asshole who wants the world to know Isabella is mine. This whole relationship for me isn’t supposed to be real but it can’t not be real, we’re in too deep already and I don’t care anything but making Isabella happy. I haven’t seen her all week. She has also stopped going to work, I’m not sure if she quit because we barely talk now. I mean we talked few times on the phone but mostly awkward greetings with long pauses and I’m so fucking tired of not being with her.
