Billionaire's Regret Chapter 144
Claire's office was quiet when they walked in and Jeff closed the door behind them.He went straight to the small cabinet beside the window where she kept her first aid kit, opened it, took out the burn gel, pulled the chair from the other side of the desk around to her side and sat.He held out his hand and Claire looked at it then at him."I said I was fine." She muttered."I heard you." He kept his hand out.She put hers in it because arguing felt like too much energy for a morning that had already taken everything she had and he applied the gel carefully with his eyes on her hand and the office was quiet around them."You should have let me handle it." He said without looking up."It was mine to handle.""She put her hands on you Claire, I should have..."His jaw tightened and he took a deep breath, it was obvious that he was trying to control himself.He finished with the gel and set her hand down gently on the desk."Why didn't you tell me the company was having technical diffic

The lobby was completely still.Jeff's question hung in the air and nobody moved. Theresa stood with her chin still up and her face still flushed from the slap she had just delivered and then she turned toward the voice and saw him properly for the first time.Her expression shifted immediately, the aggression dropping away and something more careful and professional sliding into its place with the particular speed of someone who had spent years knowing which face to wear in which room."Mr Anderson." Her voice came out warm and controlled. "I'm so glad you're here, I can explain everything.""I'm sure you can." Jeff said. "Answer the question first."Theresa's smile tightened at the edges. "This woman has a history of fraud in our industry and I was simply making your staff aware of who they were dealing with.""My staff." Jeff's voice was very quiet."Yes, the people here in the lobby, I felt it was important that they knew—""My staff." He said it again, quieter, and Theresa's next

Claire drove to the office with Jeff's words still running circles in her head.She had replayed that last part of the night over and over since she left the school gate, the part where he stood with his back to her and his hand on the doorframe and said it like he had been holding it in for years, because you're the woman I've always loved, and she was so deep inside her own head when she walked through the building entrance that she turned the lobby corner without lifting her eyes from the floor.The collision knocked the breath out of her.Hot coffee hit the back of her hand first, spreading across her skin in a wave that made her gasp and snatch her hand back, her eyes watering from the immediate sharp sting of it, her teeth clenching against the instinct to cry out."I'm so sor..."The voice cut itself off and a gasp followed.Claire looked up.The woman standing in front of her with the empty cup in her hand had gone completely still, her mouth still open around the apology she

Claire had not turned the lights on and she was sitting in the dark living room with her legs pulled up underneath her, her phone face down on the cushion beside her when the knock came, quiet but certain, and she knew before she stood up who it was because no one else knocked like that, like they had already decided something and the knocking was just the formality.She opened the door and Jeff was standing on her step in the same clothes from lunch with his jacket in his hand and his face was completely unguarded in a way she was not used to seeing on him.He had driven straight here and she could see that without him saying it."You shouldn't have come." Her voice came out tired rather than hard."I couldn't stay away" He replied."Jeff.""Five minutes." His voice was steady. "Hear me out please and then I'll go if you still want me to."She stepped back and let him in because she was exhausted from fighting herself and because five minutes was a concrete thing she could agree to w

Jeff knocked once on Zane's door but got no reply.He knocked again and the silence on the other side was the particular silence of a child who was in there and heard the knock and was choosing not to answer it, which was different from not hearing it.He turned the handle and went in anyway.Zane was on his bed face down with his cheek pressed into the pillow and his arms at his sides and his whole small body still shaking with the aftermath of crying.Jeff didn't say anything, he just walked to the bed and sat on the edge of it, close enough that Zane could feel him there but Zane didn't even turn to look at him.The room was quiet.Jeff sat on the edge of his son's bed and waited because he had learned something about Zane which was that rushing him was the fastest way to lose him completely.Zane's breathing gradually slowed and the shaking eased.Then, into the quiet, his voice came out muffled and wet against the pillow."She hit me dad, I don't like her."Jeff looked at his son

Jeff had called at nine in the morning.Claire had been at the kitchen table with her second coffee when her phone buzzed and his name came up on the screen. She looked at it for a moment before answering because that was what she did now, gave herself a moment before Jeff."Why don't you and Adrian come for lunch?" He said when she picked up. "I'll cook, let's have dinner like family Claire."Claire swallowed, "You said you can't cook." She said, stalling."I said not very well." A pause. "There's a difference."She had almost said no. She had held the word in her mouth for a full second and then Adrian had wandered in from the garden with grass stains on his knees and his robot piece in his fist and something about the sight of him made her think about what it looked like when a father and a son sat across from each other on a floor figuring each other out."What time?" She said.---Jeff's villa was warm when they arrived, something cooking in the back of the house filling the entr
