My Best Friend’s Father Wants me Chapter 97
Enora:“Anthony?!”He flashed another smile from me and I involuntarily squinted. Fuck! Why did he have to be here? No, no, no, no.He slipped into the empty seat in front of me and I felt all alarms go off in my head. Why was he even here? Did he follow me because I was very sure that he wasn’t in the restaurant when I first walked in?I smiled warmly at him, praying that this was just a brief greeting and that he was going to leave me alone to eat in peace.“I never knew that you also knew this place,” he said casually, looking around, seemingly lost in its small wonder.“Yeah. My parents used to bring me here when I was little,” I answered, twisting my fingers nervously, praying that he was going to leave any second from now.“That’s sweet. I am sure that they are so proud that you scored such a well-paying job. The hiring process here is very tedious. It took me months of applying before I got my job.”My faux smile faded and I distracted myself with my glass of water. An uncomfor

Enora:I swallowed and took a deep breath. I wasn’t going to let him make a fool out of me in this place. My day was going so well. Why didn’t he have to come and spoil everything?“Mr. Wright, good afternoon. It is nice to have you here.”He glared from Anthony to me and as though they had some kind of telepathic connection, Anthony called for the waiter to pack his noodles to go and in a few minutes, I was alone at my table.He took Anthony’s seat and as I looked out of the window, Anthony was already outside. He flagged a taxi and soon, he disappeared. Deep calming breaths, Enora. I was furious but being angry at him wasn’t going to solve much. He was just being a relentless mosquito.I prodded my rice. I wasn’t hungry anymore and we all knew whose fault that was.“I thought you said that you weren’t flirting,” he inquired, glaring at me, his jaw clenched and his eyes not leaving me for a second.I shot daggers at him. My lunch break was going so well and now he had to come and r

Enora:I was stunned. How did he even get to know about the party? You know what? I wasn’t even going to overreact about this. He had crossed the line.I took a deep breath and continued to type away at my laptop. I didn’t bother to look at him.“Didn’t you hear what I said?” he questioned, his voice stern and demanding.“I’ll get off when I am ready to leave. I still have unfinished work.”Through the corner of my eye, I could still see him glaring at me. My heart skipped a beat but I was determined to end this bullshit. I had had enough. He said he didn’t want yet he kept butting into my life at every little opportunity. It was… suffocating.“If you are thinking that you can wait back and head to that party, you have it all wrong, Miss Lopez.”He folded his arms, his gaze still so heavy on my shoulders. No. I wasn’t going to give in.“That party, and whether or not I go to it, is none of your business. You are my boss, not my dad.”“You… Aren’t… Going.”The finality in his voice was

Nathan:She left and I was alone in her office. I could still smell her scent. It clung to the room and invaded my nostrils. My head was filled with thoughts of her. I couldn’t get her out of my head. Nothing I tried ever worked. I had never had any woman the way I had her.I wasn’t a saint. After the death of my wife, Rose, I had dabbled in a few affairs here and there. I had been with women, I had made them feel things and they always came back, wet, soaking and begging for more.That’s what I felt for Enora in the beginning. Her innocence drew me to her and I was like a moth flying close to a flame. Getting to know her, having her beneath me, moaning and screaming, knowing that I was her first and I was the only one that had ever made her feel this was, it was… it was addictive. I wanted more. I wanted more of her.Now, I was so deep in that I had no idea how to pull away from her. I thought telling her that I didn’t love her would sever whatever ties I had with her, would make me

Enora:Anthony looped his arm through mine and pulled me through the sweaty crowd. I had never been in a place like this and it freaked me out how the men looked at me so hungrily. A few touched my arm, but I pulled away and tucked closer to Anthony.We reached the bar and there was a loud cheer.“Tony!”He smiled and I stood shyly by his side. I had seen all these faces at work before but I didn’t really get the chance to talk to them. I had spent the day fuming in my office because of Mr. Wright.“Yo, Tony, that’s the new girl? Right?”I waved. My hands shook as I held on tighter to my drink. Why did I feel so awkward?“Everyone, this is Enora, our new secretary. Enora, that’s Jay, from finance, Emily, from marketing, Luke, from Advertising, Gina, from the Legal team and Nicky, from tech and security.I waved at everyone. Nicky raised her glass to me and I did the same. Her appearance was… peculiar, almost goth-like. Did she come to work like that?“Yo, Nora,” Nicky called out, from

Enora:I grabbed my clothes and scrambled to the corner. Anthony was in the bathroom, standing face-to-face with the men. The one he kicked got off the ground and wiped his face with the back of his hand, his eyes widening with fury as he looked at the blood smear.“You bastard! You are going to pay for that!”I screamed and huddled closer under the sink. Anthony was kicked in the stomach and he reeled backwards, crashing against the wall and grunting.“Tony, what out!” I screamed and he raised his head just in time to see one of the men unfurl a right hook. He dodged it and the fist slammed right into the wall, where his head was formerly.My heart was pounding in my chest, my hands flew to my face. I could barely watch but at the same time, I was peeking through my fingers.Anthony was cornered. The men chuckled and closed in on him like lions cornering their prey.“You slippery little bastard. What’s the matter? Nowhere to run?”I felt faint. I could barely breathe. There I was, cr

Nathan:She stormed out and I was left alone with Anthony. My eyes bore into him.His face was bleeding. He was an absolute mess but I didn't care. Someone had done something. Men didn't just enter a bathroom to rape someone."What happened to Enora?" I demanded, my eyes narrowing in on him as he raised his hands and took a few steps back."I don't know. She said she needed to use the bathroom and I just pointed her in the right direction."I lifted an eyebrow."And these men?"I cocked my head towards the men that lay on the floor."She was taking too long, and I came to check in on her, and they had her cornered. I swear, I didn't touch her."I eyed him. Tony had been working with me for about two years. He wasn't a liar but something... Something seemed off with him."What did she drink?""What?"I scowled and took a step closer."My question was very clear. What. Did. She. Drink?"His eyes were shifty. He was hiding something."I dunno. We ordered a lot of drinks. I can't even rem

Enora"Anthony wanted to sleep with me and so what? Why do you care?"I glared at him as he arched his brows in surprise.I took a deep breath and got out of bed, my eyes furious and not leaving him as he looked at me in shock."Why do you care? You said you don't love me, that you can't be with me because of Bridget. I've accepted and I want to see other people. Why are you getting in the way?""Enora, he doesn't love you...""And neither do you," I scoffed angrily, folding my arms across my chest and rolling my eyes. "He is a male, he gets horny and he wants to sleep with me. It happens, Mr. Wright. If I didn't want to sleep with him, I would have told him and declined his chocolate. I don't need you looking out for me...""You almost got raped, Enora. I have to protect...""No, you don't!" I snapped, cutting him off and throwing my hands in the air in exasperation. "I was in good hands. Anthony came and saved me. I was fine, everything was fine but you rushed in, no questions asked

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
My Best Friend’s Father Wants me Chapter 176
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,
