Reservations

Meghan's POV

My heart seized in my chest as I saw him through the CCTV. Jade and I were in the control room trying to fix an issue and had hired a technician who was busy in the room, when the CCTV caught Alec downstairs.

Jade sent a signal to me with his calm look, but I couldn't help myself.

"It's not worth it--"

Before he could finish what he had to say, I cut him off and stormed off into my office. The desk phone rang as soon my feet stepped into the office, and Mary's voice boomed on the other end as I answered it. I didn't wait before I ordered.

"Don't let him in. If you do, you're fired Mary." My voice was calm yet threatening. Mary definitely loved her job and wouldn't do otherwise.

"Y-yes sir...I mean, ma." She faltered.

I was about to hang up when his voice raged out, shouting like a mad man. "Hey Meghan! So you've seen me coming in the CCTV huh? Come down here right now! You thief!"

Jade sighed."Ignore him, Meghan."

"Ignore him!?" I flared up. At this point, I'd already hung up because his noise did not stop and I could hear Mary pleading with him not to cause a scene.

"He's a lunatic!" I continued."He's going to send everyone away with his madness. I have to send him away, even if I'll have to use the security guards."

"Okay." I like how he always seem calm and doesn't like arguing with me. "Let's go together then."

I heaved in,"fine." Then began to make my way down. Seeing him made my heart to skip a bit. I was angry, I was supposed to be. But for a split second--and if felt like eternity...I didn't want to stop the day dreaming--I was lost in his fine physique.

Alec was tall, very handsome and well built. But there was something else about him that made me instantly crave for his touch. I shook my head and was suddenly glad Jade was with me. But what surprised me again was how Alec glared at me, like his eyes was all over me he couldn't help himself!

Seeing Jade, I observed his brows arch up in confusion and anger, but he couldn't even say anything yet because the presence of someone else shocked him.

"Meghan dear," Adrian said. Even I was shocked because I hadn't really been expecting him too. "I've made reservations already. We don't want to be late."

I was about to ask him about what reservations when Alec jumped up to speak.

"What? Reservations? What reservations?"

Adrian looked Alec up and down, then back at me. "Hello, is this friend of yours joining us too?" Adrian asked, eying me from head to toe.

"What, no no. He's my ex husband. The one I told you about." I said.

"Our divorce isn't even finalized! What is wrong with you Meghan!" Alec snapped.

"You're making noise. This is a cooperate place. Manage your behavior." Jade said. He had been calm that Alec's behavior just irked him now.

"Yes." Adrian turned, facing Alec and said in a strict tone. "He's right. Watch your tone with Meghan."

I hadn't asked for two bodyguards but there was no denying that I hadn't needed them. "You should just leave now, Alec." I said, hoping this would just die down. However, the universe had other plans.

"I came here for a reason anyway. That diamond ear ring, you stole it. Take it off right now."

I couldn't believe my eyes. Embarrassment made my cheeks to fluster because I was actually wearing that necklace.

"Um..." I froze, no. I needed to be confident. "What nonsense are you talking about, Alec?"
