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:We got back to my place, light laughter still filling the air as well as the delicious smell of the Italian food and lobster.My stomach was groaning so much and I couldn’t blame it. I was starving.Mr. Balor had called us and shared a laugh with us in the phone about what happened to the Vermonts. I was happy that he could find something to smile at.As we got into the living room, I flicked the light switch and the darkness ran away. The house was exactly as I ahd left it. I guess Fiona didn’t come by then.“Alright, let’s get these into a plate and feed that monster in your gut.”I giggled and we made our way to the kitchen. I left him at the dinner table while I went into the kitchen to get the plates.It was so great to be back home. The party was amazing but nothing could ever beat being in the comfort of your own home.As I opened the cupboard, I groaned in slight frustration.“Why did Fiona have to keep the bowls up so high?”I stood on my tiptoes and reached as high as

Enora:The woman was relentless. Did she not know when to give up?“What are you doing here?”She took a step closer, her arm wrapped around her husband's.“Is that really any way to talk to a friend.”I scoffed and rolled my eyes. Friend? Pft! I’d rather be friends with a starving grizzly bear.Her smile didn’t waver and her eyes darted to Mr. Wright’s arm where he clutched the contract.“It seems that you two owe us a ‘thank you’,” she said softly, “We told you about the contract and now you have it. Congratulations.”My eyes widened slightly. What game were these two playing? Just as I was about to say something else, a guard walked in with our driver beside him. Finally! It was unsettling seeing the way Mrs. Vermont’s eyes would occasionally drift to the contract.Mr. Wright gave it to the driver and sent him on his way. All our eyes followed him until he was out of sight, through the door.“My darling,” Mr. Wright purred, pulling me close, his eyes not leaving the Vermonts. “Let’

Enora:All eyes turned to Mrs. Vermont and her mouth clamped shut immediately. I wanted to laugh but I swallowed it and it came out as a nasty croak that made Mrs. Vermont’s eyes darken.She glared hatefullt at me, grabbed her husbands armand pulled him off the stage. They disappeared into the crowd and everyone followed them as they walked to the exit.“Good riddance,” I muttered and smiled warmly at Mr. Wright, eho plnted another kisson my forehead.“Well, I guess we shall continue our party,” the host announced and the party’s lively vibe came back. A slow waltz was playing in the background and everyone made their way to their tables for dinner.“Would you please come with me,” our host said and the De Bances, Mr. Wright and I followed him.I clutxhed Mr. Wright’s arm excitedly. I was happy rtthat we won but even happier that I shut Mrs. Vermont’s mouth up. She was all prim and proper but completely lost it when she realized that she was in last place. It was a picturesque moment.

Enora:We got to the main banquet hall just in time. There was a lovely murmur everywhere. Not too far away, a couple was talking happily and smiling with the host. There were some paper slips on the stage, and the couple were chatting excitedly amongst themselves.“...can’t believe that they won the competition…”“...heard they paid the host and his firm.”“You’re wrong. They have good ties with the host. That was why they won.”My heart was racing in my chest. Did they call out the results already? Did we win?My eyes searched the hall for sparkly, snobby Mrs. Vermont, and I finally found her standing happily next to her husband, chatting casually with another couple. From the looks of it, she wasn’t overly posh and was doing her usual flaunting of her diamonds.If I wasn’t mistaken, another game was played, and the couple that were chatting excitedly with the host had probably won. I exhaled and felt my tension ebb away for a moment. I guess there was still a chance that I could bu

Enora:My face burned red and I felt my breath nearly escape my lungs. I pulled myself away from Mr Wright’s grasp and fumbled with my dress, trying my best not to catch the eye of the couple that stood in front of us: dumbfounded and their jaws loose.“Uhmmm… e-excuse us.”I grabbed Mr. Wright’s arm and we hurried out of the elevator. I wish I could atomize and disappear. This was so embarrassing.“Why are you smiling?” I asked with slight annoyance, looking up at Mr. Wright’s beaming face and his bright brown eyes.He stopped and in one swift movement, he grabbed me and pinned me to the wall. My heart was racing. My face was still red, but the thrill of getting caught again made this even more exhilarating.“We can’t do this here,” I whispered harshly. “You are going to get us caught.”“And what is the matter with that?” he asked slyly, taking me in with burning desire, pressing harder to me and inching closer and closer to my lips. “Do you not want to be seen with me?”“I…”The wor

Nathan:I felt her body tense up and I smirked. Even when she didn’t mean to, my kitten was competitive and it was one of the many things I loved about her.“The winner of this competition is…. going to be announced at the end of the party.”“What?!”All eyes turned to Mrs. Vermont and she cleared her throat and hid her unruly outburst with a smile. I looked down at my feisty little kitten and she was giving her a nasty stare. I couldn’t help but laugh. She was such a character when he wanted to be.“Thank you so much for participating. You may join the others.”We all went down to join the rest of the audience. Mrs. Vermont was trying to keep her act together but her eye was twitching in rage.I heard a light giggle and saw my kitten with her hand over her mouth, smiling and fighting to keep in her next fit of laughter.“Funny?”She looked up at me and her face became serious.“I’m… I’m sorry. I just…”I raised an eyebrow at her and she pouted and exhaled in defeat.“Fine,” she sighe

Enora:The lively tango music filled the air and Mrs. Vermont was quick on her feet. Her jewelled heels peeked from underneath her dress as she stepped quick and her husband dipped her low, following her movements.She was one with the beat, following the music as her husband dipped her low and pulled her close in a sensual dance that made it look like they were making teasing love in public.The crowd wooed and clapped and I turned away in embarrassment and felt my face burn.“Looking away, are we, kitten?” Mr. Wright teased, grabbing my chin and making me look at him. “Does that dancing bother you that much?”“N-No,” I scoffed, nervously, still unable to look at the dancing couple. The way Mr. Vermont pulled her in close, his lips teasing her neck, his hand sliding up her thigh, it just felt… I mean… they should get a room.The lively sensual dancing continued with eccentric moves and spins that made my head spin.I took a deep breath and watched them and at an interval, Mrs. Vermon

Enora:Mr. Wright pulled me tightly to him and smiled warmly."Last I checked, me and you make a pretty good team. Want to do it again?"My body shivered in delight. Was that even up for debate? Of course, I wanted to dance with him again."We shall only be allowed three couples to dance together. And I shall draw at random from the box."My spirits slightly fell. I couldn't tell how many people had put their names in the box, but it was very likely that Mr Wright and I wouldn't be picked for the dance.The host put his hand into the box and swirled it around for a bit. My breath got caught in my throat as I watched eagerly and prayed that our names would be called. It felt like a one-in-a-million chance, but still, I hoped for the best."The first couple to be dancing will be–"He pulled out the paper and squinted his eyes."–Mr. and Mrs. Vermont."An elegant couple moved through the crowd and got up on the stage. Despite their masks, I could tell they were lovely and rich.Mrs Vermo

Enora:He looped his arm and I slipped mine through. He smiled warmly at me and I felt my heart flutter. For the first in a long time, it felt like I was living a fairy tale.He guided me inside, smiling warmly at guests and pulling me close when eyes wandered in my direction.My dress sparkled in the light and I turned heads as I walked by.I could hear whispers and gossip and a few men smiled and winked at me.I stole a glance at Mr. Wright and he seemed to almost read my mind and unlink his arm from mine and pull me close to him from around my hips."Wouldn't want any male thinking that you are available," he said with a whisper to my ear followed by a soft kiss than made many of the oggling male gazes turn away.I smiled. I couldn't explain the joy I was feeling. I felt like a beautiful damsel with my prince charming, walking beside me and keeping wishful eyes away.We got into the banquet hall and I nearly gasped. The ceiling was adorned with jeweled chandeliers that refracted th
