Enora:

I had to leave work early. Seeing Mr. Wright and Crystal like that in the conference room made working very difficult for me.

I had this arranged with Miss Catherine and she was very open to the idea considering what had happened to me during the gala. She even considered it unfair that Mr. Wright had made me come back to work so soon after an incident like that.

On the bus ride back to the penthouse, what I saw in the office was literally all that I could think about. The way she had her arms wrapped around him, the blush on her face and the surprise in her eyes were etched so deeply into my mind that they gave me a headache.

And the worst part was that I couldn't even be mad. Mr. Wright and I didn't have any formal arrangement. This…thing we were engaged in was just casual.

I wanted it to mean something more. I wanted him to take me as something more than a pretty face in bed but I guess now, I knew that that was impossible with him.

Seeing him with Crystal made me reali

  • My Best Friend’s Father Wants me   Chapter 61

    Enora: I was at my laptop when I heard a knock at the door. I took a deep breath and said nothing. I didn't want to see him. That was something that I was certain of. The knock came again but I continued typing away at my laptop, ignoring the knocking for all I was worth. Finally, the door creaked open. "Enora?" He came into my room without permission. I guess that was count one on the official list of charges I was holding against him. "What do you want?" I asked coldly, not turning around to look at him but rather focusing on the spreadsheet that I had displayed on the screen. "You haven't eaten all day. I have ordered dinner. You should eat something. It's for your own good." I scoffed, just loud enough for him to hear, without turning my head. "I won't be eating with you. You don't have to worry about that. L be going out to eat tonight. Alone." I could imagine the dumbfounded expression on his face as I grabbed my jacket and threw it over what I was wearing. He didn't

    Enora:My jaw slackened and my eyes searched around the room. Shock and anger mingled and waved through me.He... He was here?"Where are you? What are you even doing here?"He chuckled slightly and a frown crossed my face. There was nothing funny about being a stalker. This was weird and out of turn, especially for him."This isn't funny. Where? Are? You?""Look up."I did and there he was, sitting at a table a few meters away from me, in a black shirt and trousers.He waved but I didn't dare return it. He was crazy. He had to be for him to have the audacity to follow me all the way here."Miss, have you decided on what to eat?"The waiter was back and I was cornered: use the insane amount of money he sent to me to pay for my meal or leave and send it back to him."You know what? I don't think I'll be eating here anymore. There's nothing wrong. I just lost my appetite."The waiter looked astonished as I got up and so did Mr. Wright. It served him right.The evening breeze cooled my a

    Enora: My body felt weak. His angry eyes drank me all in and I felt his body press into me."Don't think that I am not mad at you for just walking out on me. You have been acting strange and I want to know why."My jaw nearly reached the ground. I was acting strange? Hew was the one who was so cold to me yesterday and suddenly pulled a lever today and kissed me out of the blue. Did I really have to mention that I was still mad that I saw Crystal with him?The elevator door sprung open, and I should have known better than to expect a nice casual walk to the penthouse door."Can you stop carrying me like this?!"I was on his shoulder once again and was beating it as hard as I could he opened the door.As soon as he got in, he locked the door and placed me down.He was so infuriating! As soon as my feet touched the tiled living room, I bolted for my room.The door locked behind me and I twisted the key in the lock and sank to the floor. This was getting ridiculous."Enora, open the door

    Nathan:My bedroom door closed behind me and I was in my room alone. She knew. She was on to me and it was all because I couldn’t keep myself together around her.Whisky wasn’t going to solve this one. I had a feeling that this was going to go horribly.Fuck! I should not have gone to the restaurant after her but I just couldn’t take it. I just couldn’t take the thought of someone else with her. I couldn’t bear the thought that she was so mad at me that she would be in someone else's company.Damn it!I plopped myself down on the chair and placed my hand on my chin. God, what was I going to do?My eyes stared into the void. My mind was filled with thoughts that whizzed past me at the speed of light.Soon, there was a knock at my door. I jerked and stared at the door as it opened with a creak and Enora popped her head inside, freezing as she saw me on my chair, looking at her.“Enora…”“I just came to get your clothes ready for tomorrow. I don’t want to be late again.”The way she cut

    Enora:I was barely able to sleep last night. All I could think about was the anger on Mr. Wright's face.Damn it, Enora! You went too far. You were mad but you should have been more careful with your speech.I wrangled myself out of bed and waddled to the bathroom. It was a cold bath. Perfect for waking me up properly. As the water wey my hair, all I could think about was the anger on his sculpted face, the way his eyes burned and his handsome lips pursed together.What was wrong with me? Why did I have to mess things up?“He messed things up too,” my inner voice chimed in.Nothing could convince me that his stalking last night wasn’t just crazy but I felt I had said way too much.Water trailed on the floor behind me as I stepped out of the bathroom. As I stood in the mirror, dressing up, I observed my body.I was mad at him but I missed him. I missed his kisses and the way he touched me and fucked me. Maybe I should apologize?My reflection stared back at me, clad in a black peplum

    Enora:No! No! No!This... This couldn't be! How!Blood drained from my face and I felt a chill ripple through me. My fingers, my whole body felt stiff.My eyes didn't blink, and I could feel it drying up and stinging, but I didn't care.I wanted to cry so badly but I couldn't. My heart was beating in slow motion and each beat shook me."Miss Lopez?"I didn't know when I sprang back into action and slammed the laptop closed as I heard the door open."Miss Lopez, we have more work for..."I swerved on my chair and was face to face with a stunned Ms. Catherine."Hey. I... I'll get the work done."I reached for the papers in her hands but she didn't give them to me. Her eyes were wide as she searched my face."Enora... "This was the first time she had ever used my first name."... Are you sure you're alright? You look quite pale."The smile I mustered was so fake but it was all I could manage. She saw right through me but I wasn't about to admit that something was wrong."I'm fine. Just

    Nathan:Enora’s hand was tightly wrapped in mine as I pulled her down the staircase. i noticed the eyes that were looking at us as we left the building. One of them had to be the culprit. I knew it and I was dying to find out who it was.She got inot the car and I got back behind the steering wheel. The ires screeched on the asphalt as I reversed and headed down the street. The space between us was painfully silent. All I could think about was the picture that I had seen. It was taken the day I took her on the dining table.I drew a deep breath. the picture was crystal clear. The way we were wrapped in pure passion was undeniable. I couldn’t believe that we were being watched. How was that even possible. I had no security cameras installed in my penthouse for maximum privacy.We turned the corner and I was still lost in deep thought. Maybe I shouldn’t be taking her back to the penthouse. If someone was watching us, it was likely that the culprit was waiting there.“Mr. Wright?–”He so

    Enora:I clung to his arm as we took the elevator. This was the craziest work trip I had ever gone on. I could only hope that this was the last.As we gave the receptionist our keycard, I saw a frown spread across her face. She glanced at our suitcases and frowned even more. I wasn’t going to be flattered that she missed me. But I would certainly miss our silent rivalry.The car was still in the parking lot, and I watched Mr. Wright intently as he hauled everything into the boot. His eyes glistened in the evening sun and I felt my heart skip a beat.I loved this man. It felt too early to say it but I felt my heart go out to him.Mmmm… I just didn’t know how I was going to tell this to my best friend. I.. I needed more time. I had always been awful when it came to boys and my feelings. It could just be a fling. It was probably going to go away on its own.That’s right, Enora. Don’t get too attached.“What are you thinking about?”His deep, silky voice caught my attention, and I was tug

    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 t

    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: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.

    Enora:“No!”I pushed him away and made some space between the both of us. He couldn't just get me mad and expect me not to be angry anymore just because he wanted to kiss me.He was bewildered and he looked at me in shock and I took another sip of alcohol for more courage.Look, I am still mad at you and I am not going to allow some lousy kiss to erase the fact that what you did tonight was messed up. I asked you to leave but you're still here and I'm going to act like you're not here,” I announced defiantly.I don't the rest of my alcohol I set the glass on the table.“I am going to bed. Good night and if you even think of entering my room without permission like you did earlier, I'll be calling the cops.”With my head held up high and alcohol in my belly, I strode lazily up the stairs to my room. As soon as I slammed the door shut, I could feel the alcohol taking effect. My head throbbed sweetly and the room made circles beneath my feet. I flopped on the bed and felt my body being
