My Best Friend’s Father Wants me Charter 44
Enora:"And we are all done. Let's see how you look."I walked to the mirror in my dress and high heels and gasped as soon as I saw myself.I could barely recognize the face I saw in the mirror. Was this really me?I... I... I looked gorgeous! Drop dead gorgeous!Tears welled in my eyes. I was going to cry. I didn't even recognize myself for even a minute.Alexa's hours of gruelling work had paid off and I was staring at the goddess in the mirror.My brown hair was sleek and shiny, reflecting the light of the room like polished metal.It was longer than I thought as well. Hanging way past my breasts and touching just a bit above my belly button."You look amazing, Enora. Your hair is really healthy for someone who doesn't have an extensive haircare routine. You have good genes."I grinned but didn't look away from the mirror. I had completely transformed. This was amazing."One more thing," Alexa added.She grabbed a bottle, sprayed it through my hair, and used a large-tooth comb to r

Enora:My jaw nearly dropped but I said nothing and pulled myself together. I wasn’t going to rile myself up. I was going to be cool and mature about all of this.“Hello Crystal,” I said politely, trying not to sound so abrasive even though I wanted to shove the champagne glass in my hand down her throat.“Enora…”She looked me over. Her nose was looking less witchy than I thought. Probably because of the nose contour thing that makeup artists do.“...You look stunning. I love your hair. It looks less…messy. It’s lovely.”I drew air into my lungs. That was an insult but I was going to be the bigger person–even though I was much shorter than her–and ignore her.I looked up at Mr. Wright and he looked very uncomfortable. Yep. My hunch was right. He did invite her, or at least knew that she was coming and wanted to keep it from me. That was why he was trying to get me to leave.“Well, what brings you here, Crystal. I am certain that you aren’t coming because of the company.”“Oh, no. I

Enora:It was difficult to not be rude but I couldn't hide the astonishment on my face realizing that Adam, Mr. Wright’s driver was gay and he was sleeping with the guy that I had met in the elevator. It just didn’t make sense.Or maybe it did. I had always wondered where Adam stayed when Mr. Wright and I were in the penthouse. Now, at least I had my answer.My head went back and forth between them, trying my best to comprehend this bizarre situation. It was even more creepy since Devin kissed Adam on the cheek. And he let him!Ever since I got this job, Adam has always been a stone-faced guy. I didn't think that he was into anyone. Nothing would have prepared me for this revelation.“Enora?"Adam's deep voice put me out of the system malfunction in my brain and I finally shook his outstretched hand.“I'm really sorry,” I said meekly, trying my best to not seem weird and awkward. "I just wasn't prepared for this…uhmmm…revelation. I always thought that Adam wasn't into anyone.”To my

Nathan:My eyes searched the room. Where did she run off to? God, I swear, this girl was a handful.I grabbed another flute of wine from the passing waiter and began swimming through the crowd.Each passing thought was filled with worry. I hope she didn't bump into you-know-who. Arghhh... If only she could have just listened to me.The gala was lively but parties would never be my thing. I was hoping to meet some potential investors here but this place was filled with nothing but celebrities and mediocre businessmen and women, looking to sink their claws into the next unsuspecting company and waiting to pull them down into bankruptcy."Mr. Wright?"A light voice called me from behind and I turned around.A small, white-haired woman stood behind me. She was no taller than five feet. Her face was old but she looked beautiful nonetheless."Yes?" I replied coldly, taking her in with one glance."I am Miss Grace Hadid. I am the CEO of Grace Inc.–"I rolled my eyes. Grace Inc. I didn't exp

Enora:"Let me go!"I was tied to a bed frame and was screaming at the top of my lungs. The room was lit a bright red that made me feel slightly woozy.And the smell... It was something I couldn't place. It was sweet and mysterious. It was getting to my head and I could feel my skin getting hotter and hotter.What was this?"Miss Lopez. Always do radiant. Seeing you like this is truly a sight to behold. You look amazing tied up."I watched him lick his lips hungrily. His shirt and suit jacket were off. He stood before me in just his trousers, glaring down at me like a hungry predator.My struggle gave him so much glee. In the red light, I saw his eyes spring to life as he saw me squirm."Let me go! Coward!""Shouting will do you no good, Miss Lopez. The room is soundproof and frankly...your voice has better uses."That sick smile of his made my skin crawl. God, how did I get myself into this mess?My phone and my purse were on the table, out of my reach. I should have called Mr. Wrig

Nathan:I barrelled down the hallway. This was not how I envisioned this evening.The sound of security officers running behind me was not a sound that I imagined would be associated with me.The corridor was long, with rooms on each side. My heart skipped a beat as I passed each one. Each one I passed could have Enora in it, but I couldn't stop to check.Fuck! This was what it was like between a rock and a hard place.I took a sharp turn and bumped my shoulders on the wall."Ahhhhh!"I grabbed my shoulder. It had been dislocated and hung limply by the side.I couldn't stop running. I didn't have time to pop it in place. Fuck it!I took my chance and entered one of the rooms."Ahhhhhhh!"My jaw dropped."Adam?"His face was a bright red but not redder than the man that was beneath him.He was the guy who was with Enora and Mr. Romeo earlier before Mr. Romeo took Enora away.My breath was deep and angry. I was about to storm towards him but the door slammed open and I backed up against

Enora:“Where was he? What was taking him so long?”My phone was in my hand and I was shaking with fear. Adam had dropped me at the penthouse and drove to the station to meet Mr. Wright.It was 6:00 am. And I still have not heard from him. His phone was not ringing. He wasn’t picking up my calls and I didn’t have Adam’s number.The sofa creaked slightly as I plopped myself down. I couldn’t get a single wink of sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Mr. Romeo, naked and laughing, just inches, seconds away from having his way with me.A shiver rippled through my body. Another nightmare to add to the ones that I already had.My hands hid my face and I sobbed. Why were things always happening to me? I came for a job to pay up my student loan but now, all this drama was happening to me. Was I some sort of jinx? Why did it always happen to me?The sound of a keycard swiping made me raise my head. I stood up in alarm and Adam walked in followed by…I jumped up and ran into his arms. He st

Enora:“Dear, can you smell something?”I sniffed the air. No one’s sense of smell was really good if the person had a cold but I was certain that it was nothing. Besides, I could still smell mom’s cooking and it was amazing.“Nope. I think it’s fine. You are probably worrying too much.”I kissed her cheek and she smiled. Thanksgiving was going to be perfect. The turkey was being stuffed and Mum and I were making jokes about last year's Thanksgiving.“Your father is such a clutz. I hope he won’t spill the orange juice on your grandpa again this year.”We broke into another round of laughter and Father appeared at the doorway.“Oi! Who’s making jokes about me?”He was in his sweater that grandma had knitted him last year. He always complained that it was itchy but he always wanted to impress my mom’s parents even though they had already been married for seventeen years now.“Dad, it is just a joke. We didn’t mean to.”He walked in and pulled me into the tightest hug of the century. I f

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
