His eyebrows furrowed and he was suddenly very jealous. Amanda followed his gaze and saw Elissa. Her skin burnt at the sight of her. She thought with a grimace, ‘Why does she have to be everywhere?’Amanda didn’t want to eat here and most importantly did not want to let Carson meet Elissa.

Amanda gritted her teeth and cursed Elissa for ruining her night with Carson.She strode towards Carson and stood beside him. When her eyes met with Elissa’s, she threw darts at him.

ONE AND ONLY: A second chance romance story Chapter 9 The Misunderstanding
Carson was doing his work on his laptop in his room when he heard a knock on the door. It was his mother. He asked her to come in. Hera came to talk to him about the engagement between Carson and Amanda. Carson kept his laptop aside and looked at his mother. “There’s something I need to talk to you about, son.”Hera wanted the two of them to get married soon. She wanted Amanda to be her daughter-in-law because of her identity as the mayor’s daughter. It would only benefit both the families and there would be no place for Elissa. “Carson, it's been months since the statement of the two of you getting engaged soon. When are you officially declaring her as your fiancée?”Carson was upset about the whole thing with Elissa that happened yesterday and he didn’t have the mood to talk about engagement. “I don’t want to talk about it now, Mom. I am going to the office” Carson said perfunctorily and took his jacket from the chair. Hera urged again but Carson was out of the room already. Hera le

Elissa let out a horrified shriek when a hand pulled her from her behind. "Shh, love it's me" Carson spoke in her ear, assuring her heart at ease. Elissa's heart was still racing. She turned to face and lightly smacked his arm. Carson laughed."I was scared" Elissa pouted and crossed her arms over her chest. She turned her face away from him and pretended to be mad. Carson smiled and pulled her closer to him from her waist. Elissa tried to keep a straight face but she couldn't help but smile at the way Carson's eyes gazed at her lovingly. He tilted her chin and leaned closer to give a soft kiss on her rosy lips. Elissa smiled and kissed him back. How could she be mad when he showered so much love on her?Pulling back, she asked, "You came early. Is your work over?" Carson pushed the strand of her hair behind her ear and nodded. "But I am still not done with mine," she said with a teasing smile.Carson gave a peck on her nose, making her heart flutter, and said, "I know. I will wait an

Benjamin checked in the direction of Elissa’s workplace for the fifth time but Elissa was still not there. He thought that maybe she was running late and thought of giving her a call. However., her call went straight to voicemail and it made him worried. Elissa always answered her phone and it was also odd for her to be late. He thought to wait for another hour but when she still wasn’t present, he couldn’t just sit at the office. He took his jacket and left the office in a hurry to go and check on Elissa. He knew it would be awkward for Elissa to find him on her doorstep but he was worried for her.

Elissa was feeling better than before and did her pending work in her leisure time. Later, she got a call from Benjamin and she consciously accepted the call. Elissa felt awkward greeting him but Benjamin acted as if nothing had happened between them. “I would like your company to pick some things. Well, I needed to pick something to add to my house and since I am not really good at choosing items, I was thinking if you can give me a company?”Elissa blinked and took her moment to answer. She was hesitating because she didn’t want to give him any hope. “Elissa, I know where I stand. You don’t need to worry. I really need your help” Benjamin added, assuring her. Elissa heaved a sigh and agreed to go to him to the market in the afternoon.Elissa went to the market where Benjamin was waiting for her.

The waiter gave an annoyed look at him but passed him another glass of vodka. Carson gulped down the liquid in one go.After arguing with Benjamin and Elissa, he drove angrily to this bar and had been ordering drinks one after another.Carson swirled the glass in his hand, imagining Elissa and the child she had with another man. His anger rose again and with a grimace, he was about to throw the glass when the waiter stopped him.“You dare do that and I will throw you out this second!” he warned and Carson stopped. He heavily sighed and lowered his down as it touched the cold metal top. His phone rang beside him but he didn’t pick up. He didn’t want to talk to anyone.

Benjamin was in his office, working on the laptop when he got a call from his father. He was a bit surprised and wondered what purpose he was calling him since he rarely initiated a call. “Hello, Dad.”“What is this, Benjamin?” Harold snapped from the other line. Benjamin’s eyebrows drew together and he was confused why his Dad was furious. “How can you not tell us about her?”“I don’t understand what you are saying, Dad.”“What is going on between that secretary of yours and you? Are you having an affair with her?”Benjamin was shocked. He wasn’t expecting this kind of conversation. When Benjamin couldn’t give him a satisfactory reply, Harold continued, “How can you have an affair with that kind of woman?”“What do you mean ‘that kind of woman’?” Benjamin questioned with a displeased expression. He was suddenly irritated when his father said something about Elissa.“That woman has a child, Benjamin” Harold revealed with disappointment in his son. Harold had high hopes for his son. He

“You are going to stay at my place,” Benjamin said. Elissa was sitting in the hospital bed with a bandage on her temple. She told him what happened and Benjamin was really mad about it. Elissa wanted to argue but she felt since she had nowhere else to go at the moment, she should just agree to what he said. Elissa gave him a faint smile and agreed to stay in his villa for a while.“Sorry for the trouble” she articulated. Benjamin made a face and joked that he was pleased to have a roommate.The doctor came in with a writing pad in his hand.

Was she not clear enough that day?“Yes, I don't, Carson. I don't think you should give Lia hopes that you will always be here, taking care of her and all. There is no chance–”“I was not bluffing about what I said on that day. I meant every word. I will always take care of both of you.
