Adeline~
I hasten my steps as I walked through the busy streets of NY, my bag in my right hands and a Starbucks coffee on my left, I felt my phone vibrate in my bag and groaned.
I would have to pick that later, I quickly crossed the road, looking at the huge company In front of me, a sigh escaped my lips.
I walked into the company, I was already so damn late because of the drink Denola flushed down my throat, I paused on my way on seeing a familiar face sitting in the reception.
Uriel?
I furrowed my eyebrows as soon as my eyes met hers, a cocky smirk appeared on her face, she stood up, walking towards me.
Adeline~ I tried to wiggle my way out of Alex’s tight grip but I was unsuccessful about it, Daniella had already seen us together. “Umm...sorry sir, i” she stuttered, her eyes flickering between Alex and myself, Alex held unto me, not letting go at all. She walked out of the office, his grip loosened around my waist, I looked up at him, glaring hard. “Why did you do that?” I asked, he looked at me baffled “What did I do?” He asked me, playing innocent or whatever, I shook my head, rubbing my forehead. “She knows something is up with us.” I tell him,
Adeline~ The clock dinged loudly, I snapped my head towards it as it alerted me that it was now 4 pm, I sighed on remembering the engagement I had for five pm. I leaned back on my chair, looking at the documents Daniella had given to give Alex so he could sign it, it was now closing hour and I still haven’t spoken to Alex, he sent series of messages and even called but I simply ignored it, not because I was angry but because he was right. We were not in some hide-and-seek relationship and he did not deserve whatever I was trying to do. I stood up from the chair, picking the papers off the table, and straightened my clothes, I walked out of his office and towards his, a breathy shaky sigh escaped my lips as I knocked gently on the door.
Adeline~I unlocked the door to the house, shutting the door close behind me, I walked upstairs, kicking off my shoes. I sat on the bed, dropping my hands over my head, I couldn’t stop back the tears from crashing down.Why did she want to be a mother to me now? After everything, she has done and now she suddenly wants to come back into my life and be a mother to me?I wiped my tears, sniffing as I laid back on the bed, I couldn’t get the image of her crying as she begged me to let her be a mother to me, am I a cruel person? Did she really deserve the second chance?If I don’t want her in my life then am I not like her?
Adeline~ We walked back to the kitchen, I could see a lot of things opened up, I smiled on seeing that he really meant this cooking business, I glanced at Ms.Hannah who smiled and walked out of the kitchen. “We’re you able to sort out what you wanted?” Alex asked me, I furrowed my eyebrows, sort out? I told him I was going to meet up with Eva “I told you I was—“ “I remember what you told me, I am asking you if you were able to sort out what was wrong, I know you didn’t meet up with Eva.” He says as he rinsed the bowl of chicken. “How did you know?” I asked, wondering if he has some sort of magic eyes or even someone following me.
Adeline~We stayed in that position for a while till we e heard someone knock on the door, Alex made a move to open the door but I stopped him? He was looking worse than I was looking.I opened the door and Ms. Hannah came in with some food, “I ordered some Chinese food, pizza, and ice cream for you both, I hope you like it.” She tells us, placing the foods on the table. She stood straight and looked at us, shaking her head “I’ll be going home now sir.” She says I was a little surprised, I knew she stayed in his house so what home again?I watched as she walked out, opening my mouth to ask but he beat me to it
Adeline~ I felt the bed dip next to me, turning over to look at what it was, I groggily rubbed my eyes, looking to see what it was. I looked to see Alexander’s eyes already set on me, a warm smile made its way to my lips “Good morning, Sunshine.” He says, leaning down and kissed my forehead. He attempted to kiss me on the lips but I moved my face away, “Morning breathe.” I tell him, he chuckled, getting up and sat down. I pulled the duvet up and sat up, looking at the gorgeous specimen sitting beside mE “You should stop eye-fucking me, Adeline. Unless you want a repeated performance.” He says, I averted my eyes away,
Adeline~ His eyes searched mine endlessly for an answer yet I couldn’t find it in me to talk, I still haven’t told him about what happened. “Actually, something happened.” I paused on hearing the door squeak behind me, I turned to see who the intruder was, Daniella walked in, her eyes widen immediately she saw Alex in my office. “Good morning sir, “ she greeted, her eyes trained on the lock In his hands. “Do you need something? If not please leave us.” He tells Daniell who nodded and walked out “Adeline, what’s wrong?” He asked me, I looked around but I wasn’t sure if it was the best place to tell him what I saw, I w
Adeline~ I leaned back on my chair, shutting my eyes close, and heaved deeply, I had not imagined that today will go the way it did and well here we are. I picked my phone and dialed Sabrina’s number, I had to get everything done and over with. She had been sending me series of messages since yesterday that I had to mute her number She picked up almost immediately “Adeline, please.” She starts off but I cut her off “Let’s meet, today by five at the same place,” I say, going straight to the point. “Yes, yes, I will be there.” She says, I hanged up, dropped the phone on the table, and sighed.
