Only You Chapter 17
Author's POVGrace had now been working with Adrian for a week and everything had been going very well. She would calmly do her work, without having anyone nagging on her 24/7. Most of the time she sat idle as Adrian didn't really want her to work herself out. Like even right now, she was literally scrolling down her Instagram feed for the past 30 minutes, while twisting and turning in her chair. She really liked this place. It was warm and cozy and gave off a homey feeling. Well in reality, one quarter of the company actually belonged to Grace being the heir of the Miller family, along with her brother. But she really didn't need her share as long as she was living with her brother. It was him who had worked hard to stabilize the company and she felt it only belonged to him. However Adrian had argued over this and told that she rightfully had her shares in it thus will also be getting some percentage of the profit they make. She gave into his demand knowing she wouldn't be able to
Only You Chapter 18
Author's POV Leaving Adrian's office, Ashton strolled down the corridor in hopes to find Grace's cabin so he could just have one look at her. He still didn't have the guts to confront her after what he did, but knew he had to do something about it soon. Not being able to find her cabin, he asked the receptionist for the directions to Mr Adrian's P.A. She immediately guided him to the room telling that she might be inside. Ashton gave her a nod before she left. Standing outside her cabin, he didn't know what to do. He knew that he wouldn't be able to say anything once he saw her. But dismissing all those thoughts, he reminded himself that he was Ashton Knight, and he wasn't afraid of anything. Thus with determination encasing his body, he knocked on her door. Grace was busy proofreading some documents when she heard a knock on her. Who could it be? She thought as she softly told the person to come in. With her eyes still fixed on the paper, she heard the door open and some shoes
Only You Chapter 19
Author's POV Grace was lying on the couch lazily watching a new chick-flick on Netflix. Adrian came and took a place beside her. "So how was your day?" He asked, hoping to know precisely what happened with Ashton. "Nothing out of the ordinary," she shrugged, popping popcorn in her mouth. Adrian nodded before taking a few popcorns himself and chucking them down. He got the message that she didn't like talking about Ashton. Like at all."What are you doing tomorrow? It's the weekend." "I really don't have any plans. Why? Do you wanna go somewhere?" She asked, peeping at him from her hazel eyes. "No..I .. you sure you don't have any plans with Macy or someone...." he trailed off frowning. What the heck was Ashton even talking about earlier? She is completely clueless. Grace thought about his words when her eyes widened."Hmm, talking about Macy, I remember we had to do a marvel movie marathon. I'll just ring her up to see if she is free tomorrow!" She exclaimed excitedly, having no
Only You Chapter 20
Author's POV Grace reached the living room, slightly glaring at Adrian. "You're best friend is here to talk," she sassed, emphasizing on 'best friend' . Adrian sighed as he was not really in the mood to talk to him. He already knew why he was here and was sure that no one was going to like it. "Why is Ashton here?" Macy asked, confused, looking up at him. "I don't know," Adrian shrugged, "maybe some business." Pausing the movie, he got up after shifting Macy off him. "I'll be right back," both the girls nodded at him as he took his leave. "Why the hell are you here?" Adrian exclaimed in a low voice, "think before your act Ashton! Please!" Ashton felt a little hurt seeing his best friend acting so rudely to him, but then he knew he deserved all of this. "I had no other choice Ok! I had to see her," he pouted, acting innocent. Adrian rolled his eyes at his comment. "You just met her yesterday. Plus you know she isn't very fond of you. Then why do you keep irritating her?
Only You Chapter 21
Author's POV It didn't surprise Adrian when his office door opened suddenly and he heard shoes clicking against the wooden floor. Who else could it be other than his best friend? It was now like his routine to come everyday to his office just so he could bug him to get updates on Grace and see her face. But she ignored him at every chance she got, not even bothering to spare a glance at him. "To what do I owe the pleasure?" Adrian sighed looking up from his laptop, "this time?" Ashton gave him a cheeky smile before inviting himself to sit on the chair. "I need to know a few things," Ashton answered. Adrian scowled at his response, not knowing what he was talking about. "That is?" He asked. Ashton pressed his lips in a straight line before fishing for a paper in his coat's pocket. He slipped out a folded paper and handed it over to Adrian without saying anything. Adrian gave a careful look to the paper before raising his brow and taking it from his hand. He unfolded the paper and c
Only You Chapter 22
Author's Pov Grace got lost in the starry sky that stole her breath with the shine the stars were sparkling with. She blew some air on her hot chocolate before taking a sip from it. She was in deep thoughts about someone. Someone she didn't want to think about very often but no matter what she did, her mind betrayed her and her thoughts lingered on that specific person. She sighed remembering what had happened earlier. There was no doubt that she loved the surprise and really appreciated the hard work which was put into it. But she didn't want it from the person who did it for her. More like she didn't expect it. She desperately wished it was from someone she liked too. Why was he doing all of this? Sure he had found out the truth of the situation for which he fired her. But why was he ready to give up his ego just to have her forgive him? Would Ashton Knight in his right mind do that? This was the thing that was bugging her from the start and no matter what she tried she couldn't
Only You Chapter 23
Grace's POV I stood in front of the building that I promised to never even look at the last time I walked out of. I hate you Ashton Knight for making me break my promise. If it was up to me, I would have rejected to even be in this project, if only I knew Ashton would pull this stunt. Reluctantly, I took some steps forward, finding myself standing in front of the glass door. The two security guards instantly bowed down to me slightly and one of them opened the gate for me. That made me frown, knowing the last time I came here, I had to open the gate myself. And these guards? Why were they bowing to me? Giving them a confused smile, I walked in. Looking around the classy building, I noticed nothing much had changed. It was just the same as when I left it. More like when I had to leave it. Sighing, I walked forward until I reached the reception area. I saw Valentina busy on the telephone line while flipping through a few pages, trying to look for something. Finally after ending th
Only You Chapter 24
Grace's POV I took agonizingly slow steps to Ashton's office as I didn't want to see his face so soon. Why does he always have to bug me? Upon reaching his office, I gently knocked on the door that was answered with a soft 'come in'. Twisting the knob, I entered the quiet room. "You called me Mr Knight?" Ashton looked up from his laptop and nodded while pointing at the chair, asking me to sit. I obliged to the offer. "Update me on the project," he said while continuing to punch some keys on his laptop. I told him all that he needed to know. I informed him that Stephen had been a great source of help for the project as he had skillfully done all the tasks that were given to him. But as soon as those words left my mouth, I saw his jaw clenching and his fingers folding to form a tight clenched fist. I paused for a bit to see why he was acting that way, but continued after finding no apparent reason. But then he suddenly interrupted me. "I called you here to hear what you had to s
