Faking Love, Making War: The CEO’s Dirty Secrets のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

ISABELLA'S POVAudrey was a huge thorn against my flesh and I knew that I had to get rid of her as fast as possible if I wanted to get what I wanted. She had tried to turn the tables against me with the case of the investors, and I couldn't be more grateful that Lucas wasn't as smart as I thought. He had believed me instead of her.I had underestimated her and I realized that she was right. If I wanted to get rid of her, I had to work smarter and not harder. I had to find a way to beat her at her own game.“What are we going to do about Audrey, Bella?” Kendall asked and I let out a frustrated sigh for the millionth time today.“If you ask me that question one more time, Kendall, I won't hesitate to send you out of my house. If I knew what to do, would I be pacing around like an idiot right now?” I replied in frustration and she looked hurt by my harsh words.“I'm sorry, I was just trying to help.” She replied and I ran my head through my hair in frustration.“If you really wanna help,

LUCAS' POV I was seething with anger. Isabella was sitting on my lap while she talked about irrelevant stuff but I wasn't interested in anything she was saying. All I could think of was Audrey leaving the company yesterday with Scott. She was always as stubborn as a mule, never listening to anything I told her. Does she find it refreshing to always defy my every word? “Babe? Are you listening to me? You look like you're zoning out.” Isabella pointed out and I let out a sigh as I rubbed my temples in annoyance. I desperately wanted to push her off me but what kind of man hates it when his fiancee is so close to him? What exactly is wrong with me? Why do I feel a certain kind of spark whenever I'm with Audrey, but not with Isabella? There was always this feeling of nostalgia, a feeling of deja vu whenever I stared into Audrey's eyes and I just couldn't place my finger on what I felt whenever she was near. It was driving me insane just to think about it. “Babe!” She called out

AUDREY'S POVMy eyes opened slowly when I felt someone pat my face gently with a wet towel. I glanced at the person to see that it was Scott and his expression was filled with worry.“Scott?” I called out, and his face immediately changed into that of relief as he helped me sit up, and I realized that we were in the ladies’ restroom.“Are you okay? How do you feel?” He asked in worry as he touched my forehead and I found myself staring at him for a while. He didn't mind sitting on the floor while taking care of me…“This is the ladies’ restroom, Scott. You could get in trouble for being here.” I said as I tried to get up and he helped me up in an instant.“I know, but only the ladies’ restroom had a towel. I had no choice. Besides, no one came in here, so it's safe.” He replied and I let out a sigh of relief as I looked around.“Come on, let's get out of here first,” I said to him as I grabbed his hand and we both walked out of the restroom to the reception.“What happened? Why did yo

LUCAS' POV “You feel something for her, don't you?” He asked and I felt every muscle in me grow stiff. “What the hell are you talking about?” I spat in anger and he chuckled before pulling my hands off his collar as he paced around. “You know exactly what I'm talking about, Lucas. I've never seen you act this way with any other employee; I've never seen you act this possessive, even with Isabella. You love her, don't you?” He asked with a raised brow and I let out a scoff of disbelief. I didn't want to believe he was right. He was making no damn sense. “Shut the fuck up, Scott. Don't just jump to conclusions so easily. You know nothing, so stop acting like you know me.” I spat and he chuckled lowly before he turned to look at me. “I think you're the one that knows nothing here. You know nothing about yourself or Audrey. You're such a damn fool. What would you gain in trying to play with Audrey? You already have a fiancee, one that you'll marry soon, and yet you keep giving

AUDREY'S POV“What security guard? I didn't hire anyone to protect Aiden.”My heart stopped when I heard Claire's words and my legs immediately stopped moving as I turned around in alarm.“Then who was the man that stood outside his door? Oh no, Aiden is in trouble!” I panicked as I started to run back into the hospital only for Claire's laughter to stop me in my tracks.“Oh goodness, take a deep breath, Rey. I was just messing with you. I did hire him earlier today and his sole purpose is to be with Aiden 24/7. Relax,” She said and I collapsed on the floor as I tried to catch my breath.“Claire, I swear if I catch you, I'll rip all your hair out. How could you do that to me? I got so scared!” I said as relief washed over me and suddenly Lucas was beside me, his expression filled with worry.“Are you alright? Why are you on the floor? Where does it hurt?” He asked in a concerned tone and I could hear Claire humming in a teasing voice as he helped me up.“It's nothing… my legs suddenly
