My Best Friend’s Father Wants me Chapter 126
Enora:I sat quietly through the meeting and tried my best to focus on what was being said even though I knew that I was in a lot of trouble. That glare Mr. Wright gave me spelt trouble. I knew he disliked Anthony and what could be the worst start to the day than to find him in my office, asking about my well-being?“...pez? Miss Lopez?”“Huh? Yes?”I raised my head and was startled by all the eyes staring in my direction. This was bad. I was sure I was listening. Well, half half-listening.“I asked if you got what Mr. Vince said,” Mr. Wright asked, with slight annoyance in his voice.“Uhmmm… Yes. Mr. Vince said he was expecting an increase in profits in the next fiscal year and he is considering taking out a loan.”The strain on his face relaxed a bit and he gave a satisfied nod. Mr. Vince seemed satisfied as well and they continued to talk about the contracts.That was way too close for comfort. This was bad. I had to clear my head soon or I was going to be in a whole world of troub

Nathan:I sat through the meeting with the board and I couldn’t say that I was very impressed with their input.There was nothing spectacular about them. Just fools who invested their money into the company but couldn’t add any helpful advice to make it grow. I couldn’t believe that one of them had been complaining about profits being down. He didn’t even know the financial situation of the company or even that profits had been going up since last year.Like the rest of them, he was only worried about being able to fund his vacation to Hawaii at the end of the year.“Mr. Wright, this is important. We need to find a way to increase profits at least by twenty per cent in the next few months. Retroscorp is beating us by a wide margin.”That was it. I couldn’t take it anymore. I stood up and eyes followed me but I didn’t give a damn.“I guess that there is nothing important to talk about so I will be attending to actual business.”I left and stormed up to my office. Pathetic. They didn’t

Enora:I got to Choi's. It was a famous Chinese restaurant and this was my first time coming here. I hoped I didn't look like a mess.I took deep breaths before I entered inside and was immediately greeted with the scent of smokey chicken and spicy dishes that tickled my nose and made me want to sneeze."Hello, how are you doing?"I waitress with a heavy accent walked up to me with a smile. I could barely hear what she was saying."Sorry, I am looking for Gina Alvarez?""Ahhh..."She took my hand gently and led me past tables. All the food looked tasty. I could already feel my mouth watering.The waffles suddenly felt like a light snack. I was still so hungry."Enora!"Gina waved frantically and I walked over to meet them. She looked more enthusiastic than usual. All the times I saw her, she was the laid-back, cool lawyer who seemed to know more than everyone else.I took a seat between Emily and Anthony and set my bag down."So glad that you could make it," Anthony whispered, leaning

Enora:“Oh my God! Nicky?!”She walked in and I took a deep breath. That was a relief. What was she even doing here? Was it just me or was she getting out of her office a lot more? Seeing her three times in a day had to be some kind of record.She stood there, looking at Anthony and me. Her eyes darted back and forth and her lips slowly stretched into a smile and then a giggle.“Oh, my God. I knew it! I knew that there was some kind of weird tension between the both of you!...”“No! Nicky, it’s not like that…”“Yes, it is! I totally saw it. You two love birds nearly kissed. Oh my God!”My face burned and my scalp prickled while Anthony stood next to me, his head turned away and his hands in his hair as he blushed with embarrassment. This was not how I expected today to end.“So… Are you two an item or are you still living in denial?”“There is nothing to deny, Nicky–”I took a deep breath. I looked so guilty. I had to pull myself together.“–There is nothing to deny because we aren’t

Nathan:The room was drop-dead silent and I sat there in silence relishing it all. The shock on Anthony’s face, the confusion on Enora’s.“Congratulations on your new role. I would have loved to go over your new work contract but I believe that we owe that delay to a certain lady.”I watched her shrink into her chair with embarrassment. Such a scared little kitten. I was slightly upset by this afternoon but it still didn’t take away the fact that she was a cute little thing.“I will have my ‘secretary’ draft the contract and send it over to our legal team for review.”She shivered again and I felt a smile rise inside of me. I would punish her later but after I fix that little attitude of hers first.“Well, since we have gotten all that covered, I guess I will be taking my leave. Miss Lopez?”We both stood up and walked towards the door, leaving Anthony still as speechless as before.I left the room and as I turned around, my kitten was not at my heels. I took a deep breath, suppressin

Enora:I needed a shower. Today was way too crazy. Anthony, Mr. Wright, Nicky, the promotion...The list felt endless. I needed to freshen up and lie down.As I grabbed my towel, my phone rang loudly in my purse.Urghh!!What the hell? Couldn't I catch a break? It was a Friday!I fished for my phone and gasped.Anthony? Why was he calling me? My heart skipped a beat. I had bothered him already. Barging into his office like that... I should have been more considerate. What if it was someone else?"Hey, Anthony. What's up?""Hey. How are you?"His voice was calm and soft. My heart rate went down a bit. He wasn't mad."I'm alright. Just about to take a shower.""Great. So that means you are still making it to Gina's party."The phone nearly slipped from my hand and I felt like I had been kicked in the stomach.I had totally forgotten!"Uhmmm... Yeah. Yeah, I am. I'm just... freshening up."Fuck! How could I forget it so soon? We had lunch just a few hours ago. She told me about it and I

Nathan:“Mr. Wright, dinner is ready.”The cool evening breeze blew against my skin. That cool shower was exactly what I needed.My towel was around my neck and I dried my hair. As I did, I stood in front of the mirror and looked at myself. I had really let myself go. I needed to hit the gym again. Those push-ups every morning weren’t enough.“Is Enora already at the table, Maria?"“No, Sir,” she answered from outside the door.“Well, go and get her from her room and get her to come down for dinner.”“Uhmm… that will be a problem, Sir? You see, she dashed out and said that she was going somewhere. She didn’t tell me exactly.It felt like the world had lurched to a halt. Enora had left? How? When? She didn’t even tell me.I took a deep breath. Where the hell did she go? God, that girl was becoming a handful. Fuck!My fingers ran through my wet hair as I tried to think where the hell she could be.She had better not be at Anthony’s place. Damn! The thought of it made my skin prickle and

Enora:I gulped hard. Why did my stomach pick this time to tie itself up in knots? I was hopeless. I thought I was trying to be normal but I was acting so weird. How many minutes had even passed by and I had still not said anything to him?This was so awkward.“Enora? Are you okay?”My heart skipped another beat. He had said something else and I was still mute. How bad could something like this get?“Uhm.. Yeah, I’m alright. I just… I’m just a little nervous. This is my first party in years. The last one I went to was a bit of a disaster.He grinned and my stomach did another flip. It had to be the alcohol in the drink. Why was he looking so hot all of a sudden?“Uhmm.. the drink? What sort of alcohol is it?”He looked at me with a raised brow and my heart plummeted again. What did I say this time?“It's… not alcohol. It is just a fruit punch. The alcohol is for… well… later,” he said with a wink.My face burned a bright red and my ears felt hot. I was so nervous that my tongue wasn’t

Enora:He turned to me, his jaw clenched and his eye full of questions. The text message stared back at me from my phone.How many times was I going to block his number?I was just about to delete it from my phone when he snatched it from me."Hey!"But he ignored me and scrolled furiously.His eyes darted back and forth on the screen and I watched him."You have his number, Enora...""I don't."“Then how...""I don't know," I cut in. "He's been calling me and sending me texts but I keep blocking him and deleting his number."His jaw tightened and he glared at me. I stared back, lost in his angry brown eyes that flashed a deep crimson."I'm not lying," I whimpered. "You can check it for..."He grabbed my face and kissed me full on the lips, claiming me, searching my mouth and relishing my taste.I could feel my body humming as it fell in tune with his, my knees weakening and my breath being sucked out of me."You... are... Mine," he growled, pulling away from me and glaring at me with

Nathan:Her eyes shone as she peeked out of the window with so much glee and delight. I couldn’t help but smirk at myself. For a lady who said that she didn’t want jewellery, she seemed very eager. Either way, I was going to return this trash that Kane gave her and get her something that was actually worth her. No way was I going to allow Kane to sneak in and take her.“Are we going to go out or are you just content with looking out of the window and looking star-struck?”He looked at me, her face red with embarrassment as she shrunk slightly.“Sorry. I was just…”The door opened on my end and I asked her to stay put while I got out, came to her side and opened it for her.“Miss Lopez.”She looked taken aback by my outstretched hand but took it nonethe less. She stepped out into the evening and clutched her coat tighter. It was very cold, colder than I expected. A cold draft blasted my face and I frowned. I shpuld have considered bringing a coat along instead of settling for a turtle

Enora:“I sent her home for the day. I actually thought that it was going to be possible to come and see you.”He raised his eyebrows at me and I shrunk back. I was really worried. I also didn’t want her to get hurt in case something actually did happen.“So, might I ask what spurred all this anxiety from you?” he asked, putting one hand in his pocket as he took me in.I led him to the living room and on the table was the box: unopened and still very much intact and the letter next to it.His eyes darted across the paper and once he was done, he put it aside, grabbed the box and tore open the wrapping paper.A small jewellery box was under it. My heart was racing and my breath caught in my throat as the box was opened.“Oh my God!”Mr. Wright glared at me angrily. I tried my best not to be surprised but I have never seen a necklace like that. It was encrusted with diamonds that sparkled in the light.“Pathetic. His grand ploy to get your attention was to buy you jewellery?”He shut th

Enora: I was in my officxe packing my stuff packing my stuff for the dasy. My head still throbbed and I was tsill try to get over the fact that we had been called by ther board. The office was quiet and Gina sn Emily were mess. They already made plan to use their paid time off and stay awya froim work tomorrow and we all agredd that it was for the best. I took a depe breath. Everything was set/ All I wanted to do was get home and pretend that all this never happened. I wasn’t resady for any inquires or… There was a knock at the door and it oponed slowly. Mr. Wright came in and I felt my heart skip a beat and I glared at him. “Are you here to gloat or to ask me questions about what happened?” He was silent for a while and I continued packing my stuff, not ready to give him a second of my time. I have been through more than enough for today. In fact, I had been through enough for a lifetime and all I wanted to do was flop on the bed and wish that I could turn back the hands of time
My Best Friend’s Father Wants me Chapter 180
Nathan:They all left and I was left alone with the board.“Why didn't you tell us that your daughter was dating Mr Kane's son?” One of the directors asked accusingly. Do you know how much of an advantage this could have been for us?I glared at the director, and he shrunk immediately, but he still had a sour expression on his face.“You are the CEO of this company, Mr Right. I expect you to not be so short-sighted. This was an opportunity. Your daughter was the perfect person on the inside to get information about Mr Rights, but you chose to keep this from us, and now come up, we're only just finding out.”I shook my head slowly and tried my best to keep my anger under control. These men were old fools, and the only thing they cared about was fattening their pockets. Then knew nothing about how a company should be run, and I wasn't sure if I could blame them or not.“What you are insinuating, is sending my daughter as a spy to KKC just because she is dating the CEO’s son?”There was

Enora:I felt my knees buckle as soon as they walked in and I knew I wasn't the only one. Emily was shivering to her bones and the only thing that Gina could do was stand there and stare at them like she was a deer.We were all asked to sit. The CEO and the directors were all in the room, watching us with eagle eyes.My heart did a flip in my chest. He knew and there was no point in lying about it anymore.The oldest man who looked around sixty five stood up and addressed the room.“I am sure that you all know that our business proposal with KKC has been terminated. We no longer are doing business with them of any kind.”There was a large mumble around the room and after a few seconds, the room was back to being quiet and calm. Poor Gina was as white as a ghost, but she still kept a straight face.“It has reached our attention that all of you were reported to be seen having lunch with Mr Cain at his privately owned restaurants and we have every reason to believe that during that time

Enora:He slammed the door behind him and I was left alone to pick up my stuff from the floor.What pushed him to come search my office? I knew that I lied about the letter but I did not give him any right to come and sniffing through my stuff looking for it. Besides, it was long gone by now. I threw it out of the window on my way back from work. I didn't want to have any memory of the lunch that I had with Mr Kane and Eliot. It was a nightmare that I wished would never happen to me again.I wiped my face with the back of my hands, and after a few minutes, my drawer was back in order.My chicken from the restaurant sat on my desk, the aroma filling the air and cheering me up slightly.I never thought that good food would be such a saviour in a time like this.I sat at my desk, opened my laptop and quietly ate my chicken as I looked through emails. In the short time that I was gone, I received a lot and it was likely that I was going to stay back late again today to get it all done.As

Nathan:I sat down in my office, filling out paperwork that I had to submit to the board of directors in a few days, alongside the presentation that Enora was supposed to give.The lunch break was almost over and I had refused to order anything. Ever since the argument between Enora and me in her office, my appetite had eluded me, and all I could do to keep my mind from thinking about her was to bury myself in work.I picked up my phone; every fibre of my body was urging me to call her,, but it was still just like every other time: I picked it up, stared at the screen and then put it down and continued doing what I was doing.If she wanted to talk to me, she knew where my office was but something told me that she wasn't going to make the first move.I saw how angry she was, how mad she was about me coming over to her place unannounced, how she made a fuss over Bridget. I knew she cared about her, but couldn't she see that she was putting herself in danger?Bridget's boyfriend couldn't

Enora:Why could the ground just open up and swallow me? Why did I have to put up with stuff like this? All I wanted was a normal workday and a normal lunch without the hassle and the fear that something was going to go wrong every minute.“I just need a few minutes; I really choked hard and I need some time to recover.”Bridget left and I could finally. Lunch today was a bad idea and there was no way I wad going to be able to sneak out of this place.I guess I was going to have to just pull through this. With a deep breath, I puffed out my chest and walked out of the bathroom. As I walked close to the table my heart beat faste ran faster. Mr. Kane turned to look at me and a smirk stretched his lips. I had to think of something fast. I was determined to not spend an extra minute here.“Hey, I’m really sorry for the wait. I choked but I’m fine.”“Well, that is good to hear,” Mr. Kane purred, “I thought that you were asthmatic and I asked Bridget to give you my spare inhaler. It used to
