chapter 21

AbbyThis man was really getting to me and it was becoming frustrating. I could not believe him right now that he would not at the very least appreciate me for trying to save his meeting. Was it my fault that a man as wealthy as Lucas Brooke would purchase food without having it delivered to his destination?Anger filled my lungs that as soon as I left his office, I went straight to the washroom to check on my emotions. I was all teary eyed at this point and needed to cool off. So, I stood in front of the big mirror as I tried getting myself all calm and collected. Eventually, I did and made my way out of that place finally.I came out to our section and amidst the prying gazes, I simply walked over to go sit down on my seat. The more I thought about what had happened, the more angry I became.Soon enough, I could see everyone was going out for lunch and I was glad something might just distract me. I would take a walk downstairs and go sit down around the fire exit place just to calm

chapter 22

Lucas I took one more look at the package she had left me and realised how big these burgers were. She probably had bought two to ensure that I was satiated and I felt a small smile creep into my lips.I thought about going out to get a drink when I realised that lunch time was not so far off. I smiled, I would probably send for her and then demand she eats one of the burgers in front of me as punishment for trying to ruin my body. That way, I would get her to eat right in front of me.One would not be totally wrong to assume that I was being a pervert right now but for Abigail, I would begrudgingly say that it was worth it. So, instead I started browsing through the stock market news and that was a wrong move. As soon as I had gotten deep, I totally lost track of time and then, it was a few minutes already into their lunch time.I recalled that I had observed Abigail and noticed she never really went to lunch since she joined us which was a bonus as I called for Ray."Sir?" He answ

chapter 23

AbbyOf course he was going to use that line. I mean, he was such a petty bastard who would stop at nothing to make me feel bad."Of course I do learn! I learnt only from this little internship that my father's friend is an ass. I learnt that all he cares about is his egoistic self and even more, I learnt what a slave driver he is!" I yelled at him.Tears were falling from my eyes despite my decision not to ever cry before him. These were tears of anger actually but they might as well be interpreted for something else. Quickly, I started wiping the tears off my eyes as I sniffed over and over again."Are you crying?" He asked me, obviously pretending to care.I scoffed."Like you care, right? You don't need to bother yourself. I'm not crying, okay?" I yelled out the words."Here." He said as he noticed I was still trying to clean the tears with the back of my palms. Seriously, why on earth would it not stop pouring out?I mean, this man was actually beginning to think I was crying be

chapter 24

Lucas I had her worked up and even now, I was ashamed of myself. I should have done better than this drama but here I was, being petty.It was not in my best interest that she had shed tears and I tried offering her my handkerchief which she rejected. It hurt me even more. What monster was I becoming all in bid to tell myself that I felt nothing for her? I mean, it was not her fault that I had to be the pervert and admire her, right?It was all on me and I needed to fix this. However, I decided to make it up to her and asked her to grab the burgers. I did not want to assist so it can not be said that I was playing nepotism or something.It was only with the car that I assisted and that should be reasonable enough as her hands were full. She sat down beside me as I drove and I could not help but feel drawn to her.Gosh, why on earth did she have to look so beautiful and attract me? I was never one drawn to women as young as Abigail but here she was,. making my world go crazy with her

chapter 25

AbbySomeone really needs to tell me exactly why my heart is beating so fast right now because this man was really getting into my head.I had not expected this turn of events with him and how he had suddenly become so nice and different made me wonder if I was hearing him right.Tentatively, I had followed him through the woods whilst questioning my sanity on whether or not I should turn heels and run. But then, where would I be running to?Right?What if I run into an actual killer who might want to butcher me or something? Would I have the luxury of being able to stare in those pairs of eyes again?What was I even thinking of right now? I should be consoling myself with the fact that he was my father's friend and had charge to look after me. That alone should be a good enough reason for him to want to look after me. He would not want to be caught explaining to my father how I had died, right?Besides, everyone did see me leave with him from the office. Even if all should lie about

chapter 26

Lucas There she sat.. just a few inches away from me and all I wanted to do was pull her in closer and embrace her. Abigail was really something of a beauty and the way she threw her head back when she laughed was a total turn on for me. All I wanted was to reach over and pull her in.She might have been enjoying the fish but I was enjoying her. This space and moment we shared. Somehow, I did not want it to end at all. I wanted more and more of this situation between us two.If possible, I would stop time for us to stay in this space a little longer. I actually looked forward to being out on sea with her and that made me wonder what she would think of this like.Eventually, we ran out of burgers and then we were quiet as we sat down side by side staring ahead of us. I looked and noticed that the boat was beginning to come closer and I decided that would be another distraction."Our ride will be here soon." I said.She looked and smiled with so much delight. Gosh, I wanted that smile

chapter 27

Abby It was indeed the time of my life and each passing minute, I could not help but wonder what it would be like if I had this moment with him forever.He was clearly still treating me as his friend's daughter but I could not help but wonder if for a split second, he saw me as a woman. I mean, I for sure did not see him as an uncle but as a man that he was. A very handsome one at that. He radiated everything great.Through our time on the boat, I wanted him to forget himself for even a split moment and hold me. Anything romantic would definitely put my mind at ease but he was just too uptight. Even when he laughed so heartily, he still was being wary around me.I decided to drink. At least to see if the notion of me being drunk would make him momentarily forget. He was just too headstrong and I was just too determined as I set my mind on my goal. Eventually, I asked him to dance with me. The moment he touched me, I was shook within.Why could he not just see it? Was it not obvious t

chapter 28

Lucas 'Lucas, drive away'These were the words my conscience probably was screaming at me when I watched her getting out of the car. But then, should I feel angry that I was in love with Abigail?Perhaps, the fact that she was my friend's daughter made that a plausible reason to do so but she was just here and I would confess, I never felt more peaceful around anyone like I did with her.I could not take it and I decided to get down the car and take the bull by the horns. I went around and I lost control.I knew actually that the moment I set my feet down from the car, I would totally lose myself to temptations.I grabbed hold of her face and I kissed her. She did not respond. Even when I tried to search, she just stood there and I realised that I was pushing it.What was I thinking? She probably never thought of such things before and now, I had to go and make things awkward between us two.What if she tells Gavin? How do I tell him it was a mistake when I clearly came down from my

chapter 29

Abby What was my problem really? I should understand that this man did not care about me but here I was crying myself to stupor over his message.At a point, I just had to straighten up as I could not go on like this indefinitely. I was so exhausted but no way would I bring myself this low.It was at this point that I noticed my phone buzzing. It was my father. Gosh, why did he have to start calling now of all times?I mean, it seemed the best moment because if he had called a couple of hours ago, it would have been when I was on the boat cruise and my phone away from me. Knowing my father, if he calls when I'm not home and I fail to take the call, he would ultimately assume the worst.I stopped crying as I reached over for my handkerchief with which I dried my eyes."Be strong, Abigail." I whispered as I took the call. "Hey, dad.""I was beginning to think you've abandoned me." He teased me and I chuckled."No, dad. I was not close to my phone." I lied and just then, I sniffed when

chapter 30

Lucas She hates me. She hates me not.Those were the thoughts in my head when I woke up this morning. I had actually been looking forward to seeing her message, at least acknowledging my own. No idea what I wanted her to say exactly but I had the inkling of the idea to wish she would tell me it did not matter.My heart kept beating really fast and I found myself restless. I needed to see Abigail and at the very least try and make things make sense to her.I found myself the perfect outfit and soon, I was making my way out of the house. I drove to work and on the way, I managed to pass a burger store. The memory of sitting down beside her yesterday and eating happily crossed my mind and I realised that I wanted more of that.Damnit. Why did I have to flee last night? I should have waited to hear what she had to say at least. If she hated me, it would be far better than this silence, right? At least I would know what fate she had decided to mate out to me.Eventually, I arrived at the
