What the hell is he doing here again?
Last Updated:
2024-11-26 19:07:30We all stood up to welcome him as he entered the room, each of us eager to make a good impression. I felt my heart race as his gaze swept across the group, finally resting on me. His expression was blank, as if I were just another face in the crowd. Seriously?
“Welcome, everyone,” he said, his voice smooth and authoritative, as he gestured for us to take our seats. I swallowed hard, my pulse quickening Why was my heart racing so fast? My boss cleared his throat. “Thank you for being here today, Sir Astor. I’m excited to discuss potential collaboration with your company.” My boss said and Jake nodded, his eyes studying the room. As the meeting commenced, I tried to focus on the presentation, but my mind kept lingering to the past, the moment I woke up beside him, the way he walked out on me. 'What were the chances?' I had shared something intimate with this man, and now he was sitting across from me as if we were merely colleagues. It's obvious he sleeps with different ladies, because why the hell does he not remember me? “Every partnership needs to ensure mutual benefit,” he said, his tone steady and confident as he turned to my boss. “I’m interested in what your team can bring to the table.” My boss turned to me and I felt my breath cease. “Alice, why don’t you present our recent market analysis? You’ve been working closely on this project.” Perfect. Just perfect. “Sure,” I replied, my voice steady despite my nervousness and the whirlwind of thoughts in my head. I stood up, clutching my notes tightly, and began to speak. As I detailed our findings, I could feel his gaze on me, but it was different now—observant but distant. Like he still didn't recognize who i was. “...and we believe these insights could significantly impact our strategies moving forward,” I concluded, trying to maintain my composure. I glanced at him, searching for any hint of recognition, but his expression was neutral, as if he were listening to just a random employee. “Very insightful,” he said, nodding. “I appreciate your analysis, Alice. It’s clear you know your stuff.” A rush of warmth spread through me at his compliment, but it was tinged with disappointment. 'Did he really not remember me?' JAKE ASTOR'S POV. I walked into the room, my eyes landing on a familiar figure. Her. The one girl who I had prayed never to come across again. Ever since I walk out of that house, I can't seem to get her off my mind. It's weird that I don't know why. Maybe it's because I feel bad for her. Her husband dumping her for her bestfriend. How cruel is that? Or maybe it's the sex. The way she moaned, Her soft delicate skin, the sound of her gentle voice mixed with her alcoholic breath, or maybe it was her slow movement. No! Get it together. I walk into the the conference room, my eyes leaving her to the rest of the people in the room who had stood up to welcome me. I can't afford to let my guards down. ALICE'S POV. The meeting came to a close, my boss practically buzzing with excitement. We had a chance to close a deal with one of the wealthiest and most successful CEOs in Los Angeles. That was a big deal, and I should have felt proud. “I'll definitely get back to you. It's nice to see you Mr George,” “I will be waiting on you, Mr Astor. Oh! And it's nice to see you too,” I overheard both their conversations as I step out of the door, my file clutched to my chest as my mind raced with thoughts. Why do I have to feel bad? I mean, what was I expecting? I clearly told Mia i didn't care about who he was, and I never thought of seeing him again. Bu—but, why do I feel this way? Why do I feel heartbroken? ****** It was closing time already. I began to pack my items from the table, putting them into my black handbag. I zipped my bag closed but hesitated, unzipping it again to retrieve my lip gloss. I wasn’t a makeup expert, but I loved the way my lips looked shiny. it was a thing for me. As I stepped outside, waiting for my cab, a sleek white Bugatti pulled up in front of me. The window slid down, revealing Mr Jake once more. What the hell is he doing here again?Related chapters

“Get in,” he said, his tone firm. I raised an eyebrow, caught off guard by his abruptness. “Excuse me,” I shot back at him. “I said get in,” he repeated, his tone unyielding. “Why do you have to be arrogant about—?” I couldn't even finish my statement when he drove off, just like he had the first time. What the hell is wrong with him? It wasn’t long before he reversed the car, pulling back toward me. “It’s late; let me drop you off,” he said, rolling his eyes as if my presence was a disturbance to him. Even though I didn't ask him for a ride. But despite the stunt he had just pulled —and the one he had pulled weeks ago—I found myself slipping into the passenger seat. He turned the car around and drove off. While in the car, he said nothing, his focus on the road. I tried to speak, but my tongue felt heavy. What should I possibly say? “Uhmm, you didn’t respond to my question the other day at my house,” I finally said, breaking the silence. “What question?” he asked, his brows

I hesitated, staring at Ethan’s name flashing on my screen. My heart raced. What did he want now? I watched as the call ended, hoping that would be the last of it. But then it began ringing again. I rolled my eyes in annoyance; the ringtone seeming louder than usual, as if urging me to answer. Taking a deep breath, I picked up, trying to keep my voice steady. “Hello?” “Alice,” he said, his tone sharp. “What do you want?“ I asked. “Who was that guy you were with at the restaurant?” I frowned, taken aback by his question. “Why does it matter to you? We’re done, remember?” “I just want to know. Tell me who he is,” he pressed. “You didn’t mention you were seeing someone.” “Look, it’s none of your business,” I shot back, frustration boiling over. “You lost that right when you decided to cheat on me with my best friend.” “Alice, wait—” he began, but I cut him off. “Goodbye, Ethan.” I hung up, my heart pounding in my chest. What was that about? How dare he? The next day, I sat in

I slowly got out of my car, heading towards the mansion. I could feel my heart racing, my whole body trembling. I still can't believe this is over. A whole four years of marriage gone down the drain. I stood in front of the entrance door, contemplating."should i ring the doorbell or let my lawyer handle this?" After gathering much courage, I finally rang the doorbell. It took a few minutes before I heard footsteps approaching. My breath ceased as the footsteps grew louder. It had been one month since I last saw him. After witnessing him cheat with my best friend, Natasha, I knew I wasn't going to take it anymore. His constant betrayals had caused me nothing but pain. I had endured countless times, hoping he would change, wishing he would magically become the man I once fell in love with. but it turns out I was just fooling myself. The door opened, revealing Ethan. His sky-blue eyes landed on mine, shock flickering across his face. “A—Alice, you didn't tell me you were coming?”

The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains as I groaned, pressing my palm against my forehead. A dull ache throbbed there, a painful reminder of the drinks I had last night. although i couldn't remember what had happened last night. With a quiet whimper, I shifted slightly and froze. Panic surged through me as I slowly turned my head. This was my bedroom, but there was a man laying beside me. A stranger. “Who the hell are you?!” I screamed, my voice sharp with fear as I jumped off the bed, my heart racing as i clutched the duvet to my body, covering my nakedness. The man slowly opened his eyes, revealing his bright green eyes that made me wonder how a man could have such pretty eyes. But that wasn't my concern at that moment.
