My Best Friend’s Father Wants me Chapter 151
EnoraMy fingers fumbled at my desk as I grabbed my laptop and my copy of the agreement to be discussed.My ears were pricked, my head kept moving at the slightest sound that came from the door.As soon as I got to my office, I checked my phone. Twelve missed calls from Anthony. I expected him to come storming through my door any second, demanding why I didn't pick up calls or come for lunch.God! My mind felt like a factory, thoughts flying in and out like it was a damn delivery service.Mr. Wright wanted to find out about Eliot, Anthony was certainly mad at me and in the midst of all this, Bridget was planning a freaking housewarming party.My gut clenched and my heart skipped several beats.I had a meeting to get to, and here I was, shivering like a leaf."Breath, Enora. Breath. One thing at a time. Meeting first, then you can deal with Mr. Wright later."It was little comfort but it was something.I hugged my laptop to my chest and hurried to the conference room. My breath caught

Nathan:I looked blankly at Mr. Kane, who smiled knowingly.I drew a deep breath and exhaled through my mouth. I couldn't lie–I was impressed that he did his research.My company has been at the forefront of success and profit for years, and it masked our weakness in technological advancements.It has been that way for years and I was certain that we could build our strength in the shadows of our millions and front cover success."You did some deep digging, Mr. Kane," I said casually, returning his smile and burning a glare into him. "But I assure you, my company isn't that weak. We might not be at the front in that aspect but I believe that we will steadily climb."Mr. Kane chuckled and gestured his head to the side. One of his associates opened a briefcase and I watched suspiciously as he handed the document to Mr. Kane, who handed it to me."I believe that it isn't too early to move a company forward. Why wait when there is is clear, faster route?"I glossed over the paper and my c

Enora:He left, and I was left alone in the conference room. Finally, I could take a breath of fresh air. Those eyes lingering on me made me break into a sweat in the air-conditioned room.My breath caught in my throat as an image of Mr. Kane’s green eyes and piercing stare flashed through my mind.I could see the way Mr. Wright looked at him with disdain, the way both of them fought for control and dominance in the room as they negotiated.I had watched Mr. Wright negotiate many business deals, but they were nothing like what I had just witnessed. It was like watching Mr. Wright haggle with himself—a younger, green-eyed version of himself. My fingers ran across the keyboard as I put the finishing touches to the minute that I would print and send out to the Legal department alongside the new contract that Mr. Kane and his team had provided.Today was the most stressful day of my entire life. Thank god the workday was almost over. I could go home and…A shiver ran down my spine and my

Enora:My fingers trembled and my breathing caught in my throat. I looked back at Mr. Wright and he was glaring hard at me. My stimach wanted to fip itself inside out.Nothing happened between Mr. Kane and I. I could swear on it.“You–”He snatched the card from my fingers and in a few swift movements, it was in shreds on the floor. My heart rate elevated and my vision blurred as oxygen failed to reach my brain.“–are going to go home with me. I will drive you back to your condo. We really need to talk.”I couldn’t say anything and simply watched him walk away. My laptop was pressed even tighter to my chest and my ribs suffered under the pressure. All I wanted was a normal day at work. Was that really too hard to ask?I hurried to my office, my lips parted as I struggled to take a breath and think straight.The look in Mr. Wright’s eyes were terrifying but I was certain that I didn’t do anything with Mr. Kane. I mean… I didn’t even take his complimentary card. That must count for…“Ou

NathanI waited in the car, my phone beeping as I called her number. Why wasn’t she answering? I expected her to meet me here.As I called her line for the third time, I could feel my patience running thin. What was taking her so long?A few more seconds passed by and I could take it no more. I opened the door and got out. As I reached the office door, it flung open, missing my nose by a few inches.She dashed past me and I grabbed her hand, pulling her back as she yelped in surprise.“What took you so long?” I growled, pulling her close to my body and looking into her deep blue eyes.“I-I had something extra to take care of. I’m really sorry. I also went to your office and didn’t see you there?”I scoffed. Why did I feel she was hiding something?“Why didn’t you answer your phone? I’ve called you three times already.”“It was on silent. I was trying to focus on something.”Her lips trembled and her eyes looked shifty. There was something that she wasn’t telling me. Regardless, I gest

Enora:I felt my gut wrench violently and a salty taste filled my mouth. Mr. Kane was Eliot’s dad?!Urghh! Saying it out loud made it even worse and the salty taste increased. At this rate, I was going to throw up. That and all the tension in the room was unsettling.Mr. Wright stood there glaring at Eliot who stared back, unfazed, as Bridegt clung to his arm, sweating and struggling to keep her breathing under control.This had to be more weird for her than it was for me.“Nice to meet you, Mr. Wright,” Eliot said firmly, walking up to Mr. Wright with his hand outstretched for a handshake.I stood next to Mr. Wright watching Bridget jitter and gasp. She looked terribly pale and her eyes turned to me with a plead in them. What did she want me to do?Eliot’s hand hung there for a while, under Mr. Wright’s glare. His eyes darted from Bridget to Eliot and back to Bridget with disapproval building every second.His lips were turned down slightly and his eyes had darkened. It was no secret

Enora:Dinner was awkward. The table was silent except for the clatter of cutlery on the china.Bridget was feeling the heat as she sat between her father and Eliot, who couldn’t help but cast each other death glares.I sat alone, forcing myself to eat, even though my gut was still clenching from the knowledge of who Eliot and Mr. Kane were to each other as well as the fact that Mr. Wright wanted to kiss me and Bridget nearly caught us.“So, Bridget,” Mr. Wright started, breaking the silence and sending shudders down Bridget’s spine. “When did you and Eliot meet? How long have you both been dating?”Bridget looked at me and I blinked twice. I was clueless about how she was going to answer this one. I hoped she wasn’t going to tell him about the drunk party thing.Fuck! I couldn’t bear any more.“Uhmm… Well,” Bridget began, slowly putting her cutlery down and taking a deep breath, “we met in my second year. Cornell University and University of Washington had a meet and we met, exchange

Enora: She said–"I was dying inside. Well, it was good while it lasted."–pleasant things. She tried to convince me that you were worthy of my daughter."Bridget's eyes welled with tears and her hand flew to her mouth.I was dumbfounded. What the hell just happened?"Oh my god! Enny!"Bridget rushed from her seat and flung herself around my neck, sobbing wildly as she buried her face in my hair."Thank you so much. I can't believe you did that for me!""Uhmmm... It was... Nothing."My heart was racing in my chest. I turned to Mr. Wright and he was glaring at me.I knew that look. His brown eyes darkened. I was in trouble.Eliot was smiling at me from across the table and I gripped the wood hard till my knuckles whitened. I wanted to sink my fist in his smug face.Oh, Bridget! If only I could tell her what a snake Eliot was.Bridget pulled away from me and went back to Eliot and hugged him. My stomach lurched. I could feel the steak fighting with my insides."I need to go upstairs,"

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

Enora:I finished up work for the afternoon and I packed up my stuff. My phone was in my hand and I searched the map for the restaurant that I had been sent by Anthony.It was somewhere in town. But it didn't show up on the map."Does this place even exist?" I grumbled, grabbing my handbag and walking to the door. "Maybe a taxi would... Ouch!"I rubbed my forehead and looked up angrily to see Mr. Wright standing right in front of me, blocking the door with his tall and muscular frame."How did you get in here? How come I didn't hear you?""Maybe you should keep your nose out of your phone a little and you might be able to know what goes on around you."I scoffed. Was that supposed to make me angry?"Thank you for the information. I'll be sure to keep it in mind next time."I tried to go around him but he stopped me with an outstretched hand and a vicious glance."I have somewhere I need to be, Mr. Wright. It's my break.""I am well aware, he growled, glaring at me and exhaling deeply,

Enora:“Why the hell would anyone in their right mind send a bouquet that is big enough to cover my desk? How many meadows did he have to destroy to get this many flowers?”I was dumbfounded and a little unsettled. If this wa Mr. Kane’s way of getting me to accept to go out to dinner with him that he was in for a real shocker.I exhaledand myu mind began the mental task of figurimg out a way t get thses flowers off mu desk before someone saw…“Hey, Enora. Oh my god!”I spun around and saw Anthony at the door. Sneakily, I hid the car behind my back and smiled warmly at him as he walked up to me.“Lovely morning, right,” I greeted, trying my best to keep it cool.He stopped beside me and stared at the flowers, his jaw slack and his eyes wide.“Who the hell got you this bouquet? It’s massive.”Before I could even say anything, he was already prunning through the petals for a note and in that time, I slipped te note into my bag.“I tried looking but there wasn’t a note anywhere. Maybe it
