Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Best Friend’s Father Wants me: Kabanata 151 - Kabanata 160

EnoraMy fingers fumbled at my desk as I grabbed my laptop and my copy of the agreement to be discussed.My ears were pricked, my head kept moving at the slightest sound that came from the door.As soon as I got to my office, I checked my phone. Twelve missed calls from Anthony. I expected him to come storming through my door any second, demanding why I didn't pick up calls or come for lunch.God! My mind felt like a factory, thoughts flying in and out like it was a damn delivery service.Mr. Wright wanted to find out about Eliot, Anthony was certainly mad at me and in the midst of all this, Bridget was planning a freaking housewarming party.My gut clenched and my heart skipped several beats.I had a meeting to get to, and here I was, shivering like a leaf."Breath, Enora. Breath. One thing at a time. Meeting first, then you can deal with Mr. Wright later."It was little comfort but it was something.I hugged my laptop to my chest and hurried to the conference room. My breath caught

Enora:He left, and I was left alone in the conference room. Finally, I could take a breath of fresh air. Those eyes lingering on me made me break into a sweat in the air-conditioned room.My breath caught in my throat as an image of Mr. Kane’s green eyes and piercing stare flashed through my mind.I could see the way Mr. Wright looked at him with disdain, the way both of them fought for control and dominance in the room as they negotiated.I had watched Mr. Wright negotiate many business deals, but they were nothing like what I had just witnessed. It was like watching Mr. Wright haggle with himself—a younger, green-eyed version of himself. My fingers ran across the keyboard as I put the finishing touches to the minute that I would print and send out to the Legal department alongside the new contract that Mr. Kane and his team had provided.Today was the most stressful day of my entire life. Thank god the workday was almost over. I could go home and…A shiver ran down my spine and my

NathanI waited in the car, my phone beeping as I called her number. Why wasn’t she answering? I expected her to meet me here.As I called her line for the third time, I could feel my patience running thin. What was taking her so long?A few more seconds passed by and I could take it no more. I opened the door and got out. As I reached the office door, it flung open, missing my nose by a few inches.She dashed past me and I grabbed her hand, pulling her back as she yelped in surprise.“What took you so long?” I growled, pulling her close to my body and looking into her deep blue eyes.“I-I had something extra to take care of. I’m really sorry. I also went to your office and didn’t see you there?”I scoffed. Why did I feel she was hiding something?“Why didn’t you answer your phone? I’ve called you three times already.”“It was on silent. I was trying to focus on something.”Her lips trembled and her eyes looked shifty. There was something that she wasn’t telling me. Regardless, I gest

Enora:Dinner was awkward. The table was silent except for the clatter of cutlery on the china.Bridget was feeling the heat as she sat between her father and Eliot, who couldn’t help but cast each other death glares.I sat alone, forcing myself to eat, even though my gut was still clenching from the knowledge of who Eliot and Mr. Kane were to each other as well as the fact that Mr. Wright wanted to kiss me and Bridget nearly caught us.“So, Bridget,” Mr. Wright started, breaking the silence and sending shudders down Bridget’s spine. “When did you and Eliot meet? How long have you both been dating?”Bridget looked at me and I blinked twice. I was clueless about how she was going to answer this one. I hoped she wasn’t going to tell him about the drunk party thing.Fuck! I couldn’t bear any more.“Uhmm… Well,” Bridget began, slowly putting her cutlery down and taking a deep breath, “we met in my second year. Cornell University and University of Washington had a meet and we met, exchange

Nathan:My thumb brushed along her soft and supple lips. I fought every desire inside of me to rip the towel off her and feed my eyes with the sight of her naked body.My body hummed and groaned. I wanted answers about Eliot but nothing was stronger than my craving for her in this moment.“All right, little one. I’m listening.”She drew a deep breath through her parted lips and her sweet soft voice filled my ears.“Eliot caused a big fight between Bridget and me years ago. I thought they broke up but I was surprised to find out that they were still dating.”My lips turned down at the corners and I tilted her chin up with my thumb and index fingers.“Then what was he doing in your house that Sunday.”She hesitated, her eyes falling but I raised her beautiful face a little higher.“Eyes here, kitten. I need the truth.”“Promise you won’t be mad,” she whimpered and my heart skipped a beat. What exactly had happened that day?“No promises, kitten. Talk.”My voice was a little rougher and
