Cara nodded as she looked up at the young woman and said. "Thank you, Amy. We'll order something later. For now, can we get two cups of cappuccino?" She asked, and Amy nodded, and with a polite smile, she left. Cara turned back to her best friend. "Now, tell me. What's this about?" She asked.“It’s about Mr. Berkeley…” She started, but Cara interrupted her. “What? What’s going on? Is Gabe okay? Did something happen with you both?” she asked all the questions together. “Huh, well, everything is fine. I mean, something is going on, but it’s nothing you think. No one is hurt or anything like that.” She said. “The thing is..” she scratched the back of her head and continued. “Well, something happened between us, and I thought that I would tell you. You’re my best friend and you helped me get a job in Berkeley Moore. I thought I should let you know what’s going on.” Cara frowned in confusion as she stared at Alex. “You’re rambling, Alex. What happened exactly?” she asked. “Well, I’m ge
Meeting like this two days in a row wasn’t what Alex expected but Cara had called her this morning that she had news. When she had, she had hoped that it had something to do with what they discussed yesterday and the fact that there was a change in everything she told her. She had dressed as casually as she did yesterday, but she didn’t have to wait for Cara this time. As soon as she got to the restaurant, she saw Cara at a table already. She didn’t want her to think that she was angry about how they left things yesterday, even though she was a little, so she smiled. She had been thinking about it for the better part of the night and even when she woke up this morning. As she saw Cara smile back at her though, she didn’t have to fake her smile anymore because she couldn’t stay mad at her for a long time anyway. Back in college, they would always make up the same minute they had disagreed on something because of that. She sat down on the chair opposite Cara, and she could tell that
“Cara, I think I just found her.” The man, who Cara called Ethan said as he stared at her. Alex heard Cara chuckle as she thought of what he meant by that, but she didn’t have to wonder too much, because he soon explain himself. “I think I’ve just found the woman of my dreams.” He said. Looking at him from head to toe, Alex studied him. If she was being honest, he was handsome, just not as handsome as Gabe was. He was tall and had broad shoulders. He had a five o'clock stubble on his face and his pink lips were firm. He was wearing a white shirt with a pair of ash pant trousers. The top two shirt buttons were undone and she could see a hint of curly hair. From what she could see, she realized that it wasn’t that much, the chest hair. She pushed her eyes back up, just as he raised her hand in his into his mouth, and then he placed a soft kiss on the back of her hand. “It’s nice to meet you, Alex. Really nice!” Again, Cara chuckled. She had known Ethan for a while now. He was one o
Alex had no idea where he said he had traveled to but she pretended to hear him and she said. "That's nice, I guess..." But she didn't get to finish her statement because he interrupted her again. "I told my father to let him head the company there but they both refused. I guess he was scared that he wasn’t good enough and my brother think that our father would insist on doing it." He laughed. "But I just had to leave them both to do what they wanted.” Alex smiled and nodded, still pretending to listen to what he was saying. Granted that he talked about things that were happening, he was also talking about himself so much, so she wasn’t interested in listening when he did that. As if he had sensed her disinterest, he turned to her. "So, tell me, Alex. What are you thinking about?" He finally asked her something. It would be good to be the one talking about a change. “Or are you thinking about your boyfriend?” “Wow, that’s a nice way of asking whether or not I have a boyfriend.” S
He had one more meeting at a restaurant before he had to go home to his mate. He had been told by his secretary at the last minute, but thankfully, it was still late afternoon, and not evening, because he would have canceled it. He had not been able to concentrate properly throughout his meetings today, but it was coming to an end. After this, he was going home to Alex. Although, something wasn’t right with her and he could feel it, even though she didn’t say much to him. No, she didn’t even say anything, but he knew. Yesterday, when he had gotten home, she had welcomed him somehow, not as she normally would, and had even gone straight to her room after serving him dinner. He wasn’t sure what was going on, but maybe he would have to ask Cara. After all, she should know. She was her best friend. She had gone out to meet her yesterday as well, so if anyone should know, she was the one. He had been too busy today, but maybe after he got home, he would call her to find out. Sighing, he
He saw the man with them bend to kiss Alex on the cheek. It was on the cheek, but he didn’t care. She was his and no man should be touching her in any way, but him alone. He walked to them, and before his lips could touch her cheek, he yanked him off her and pulled him away from her completely. The man was huge and tall, so he was surprised to see himself being yanked like a paper slip. He looked shocked to even more that someone pulled him, so with a frown, he asked. “Who the hell are you?” He didn’t need to say anything, because Alex pushed back her chair, and then she said. “Gabe… I mean, Mr. Berkeley. What are you doing here?” she asked him. Cara was also surprised too, and she dropped her mouth open. She was not expecting this behavior from Gabe, and she was more surprised because she didn’t understand why he reacted that way. She was still frowning when Alex answered Ethan's question. “He’s my boss, Mr. Gabe Berkeley.” She said simply, and the expression on his face changed.
The moment they entered Berkeley Moore that evening, Gabe saw Alex at the security house with the guard that was on duty, Gary. She was talking about something with him, and he wondered what that was all about. His sight became so dark as the gold in his eyes came out. “Slow the car down, Fabio.” He said, his voice coming out a little harsher than he intended. Alex threw her head back and laughed at something Gary said and he clenched his fist. Fabio stopped the car instead, then he looked at his boss's line of sight and saw what made him so angry. Gabe made to get out of the car, opening the car door, but Fabio's voice stopped him. “Sir, I don’t think you should stop them or interrupt their conversation. I’m sure it would only make her furious and confused.” He said.“But what is she doing with him at this time of the evening when she’s supposed to be at the house doing one thing or the other.” He said. “Dammit!” Gold whispered, already awake. Gabe was a leash surprised at how f
Cara was still bothered about Gabe's outburst the other night, so much so that she thought of it for a very long time until she couldn’t take it anymore. She decided to ask him about it when she got to his house. She had told him she was coming today and they would be hanging out at his place this weekend anyway, they being Dean, Gabe, and Tim. She was only just inviting herself to the hangout. It had become a thing for them; hanging out on the weekend like this when none of them have any arrangement or meeting, and that was the only time they get to talk about personal stuff they couldn’t talk about at work, or at the pack's house. Most of the time, Time would tell her what it was they talked about, so she was as good as being there. Cara could see the Berkeley Moore come into her view as she drove and rounded the corner that led to the fence of his property. This place was really amazing, she couldn’t get over the awe she felt whenever she came here. He loved coming here. It was
