Chloe had literally taken Axel to all the clothing stores in London in search of the dress she would wear to the ball, and she still hadn’t seen a dress she wanted. Chloe was adamant that Axel get her a new dress for the ball as she didn’t know what to wear. He refused to go with her, but after much persuasion from her, he agreed to go with her. He knew going to the ball with her after what she pulled off was a stupid decision, but he had no one else to go with and he had to attend the event no matter what.He hadn’t even told her that he knew about what she pulled off yet; he might lose his shit while confronting her and end up chasing her away. And he had to avoid that situation until after the event, when he would ask her to never show his face to him again. But before then, he would try as much as possible to keep his cool.Right now, they are inside a boutique, which is the sixth they have been to in just one night, and Axel was beyond frustrated already. He made up his mind th

Reese’s smile is something that always soothed Axel’s heart, but right now, the smile saturating her face seeded a looming rage deep inside his chest. "Ms. MsBride." He called when he got to where they were standing. Reese turned to look at him, the smile on her face slowly fading. "Good evening, Mr. Griffin." She greeted. "Good evening." He said, then darted his gaze at Zayn and stretched his hand forward for a handshake. "Good evening."Zayn stared at his extended hand warily for a few seconds before he reluctantly took it. "Good evening.""Can you excuse us, please?" "I need to see my assistant." Axel said so in the most polite way possible, despite the anger and jealousy clawing at his chest."No, I can’t." Zayn said this without a change in his countenance. "You can see her during work hours." But right now, we are busy."Axel darted his gaze at Reese. "Ms. McBride, please, can we talk?"Before she could reply, Chloe appeared from nowhere and hooked her arm around Axel’s arm.

The news of Axel and Zayn's fight spread throughout the media like wildfire, which prompted the board members of Perfect Touch to call for an emergency meeting.He had to fly to New York for the emergency meeting, and he wasn’t even worried about what the outcome of the meeting would be. The only thing that crowded his head was the thought of Reese, and the fact that he might never get to be with her again was enough to send him into depression.He didn’t go to his father’s mansion to stay the night before the meeting because he knew he was going to receive serious tongue lashings from his parents, and he didn’t want that.When he got the perfect touch for the meeting, all the board members had already been seated, and when he walked in , the look in their eyes was nothing but a look of disdain.He had never thought that there would ever be a day when the board members would look at him this way. They had always respected and adored him. He was the perfect CEO, and all that changed be

Reese and Lucy were sitting on the couch in the living room, watching a movie. Although Reese was staring at the screen, her mind was far away. Even though she didn’t want to see Axel, she couldn’t stop thinking about him and how the fight he involved himself in will affect him. The doorbell suddenly rang, and they both flicked their gazes to each other. "Could it be Axel?" Reese asked Lucy."I don’t know. I'll go and check." Lucy said as she leapt to her feet and started trudging to the door. She abruptly stopped, then turned to look at Reese. "If he is the one, what should I tell him? Do you want me to lie to him again?"She nodded her head in response, even though she desperately wanted to see him. "You know you can’t run from him forever, right?" Lucy asked, raising her brow. "And I know you miss him.""I don’t miss him." She denied. "Just tell him to go away.""Okay," Lucy said as she turned on her heels and continued her journey to the door.Yanking the door open, her mouth f

When Reese got back home, Lucy was in the living room, watching a movie. The moment she sighted Reese, she jumped full steam on the worry train as she sprung up and rushed to where Reese was standing. "What happened?" Lucy asked, concerned, as she wrapped her arms around her. "I swear I am going to kill that man. I swear to God."Reese managed to tell Lucy all that happened. In between sobs and rage suddenly boiled in Lucy’s veins."He is a fucking bastard." She seethed as she led Reese to the bedroom. "You can cry all you want right now. But I want you to get over him.""I wish it was that easy." She cried. "Do you know what hurts the most? I have no right to be angry with him because our relationship is not defined.""You have every right to be angry at him!" Lucy exclaimed. "You guys made an agreement to be loyal to each other. Damn it, he fucking lied that you were the only one he could react to.”"But—" she sobbed."You’ll heal, baby." She patted her back. "You’ll heal.""I hope
