All Chapters of A Mistress' Affair : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The next morning, Nirvana barely had any contact with Laura. The other woman looked like she was having a bad day just like anyone could, but Nirvana knew Laura was avoiding her on purpose.It worked for both of them though. She wasn’t sure that she would have been able to take a faux smile from Laura without absolutely setting everything ablaze.Nirvana was aware of how cranky her mood was, and she hated how Laura’s betrayal bothered her so much.She had thought up over a thousand ways to get back at Laura yesterday when she got home and tossed and turned in bed till 3:15 a.m. yet she came up with nothing before getting any sleep.Restlessness settled over her as soon as she woke up.Nirvana met Kaitlyn in the elevator and the woman had thrown a smug smile in her way but neither of them exchanged any words.It was better like that.A negative nudge would be detrimental to her calmness, and Nirvana would rather avoid an explosion until she secured the client.A sharp knock on the door

Both of them stared for a few minutes, Nirvana was motionless while Severin looked like he had forgotten the presence of Kaitlyn who was standing next to him. Nirvana could see a dark emotion pass through his eyes but she didn’t wait to dissect it before she grabbed Leah’s hand and led her to the car. There were a myriad of emotions flickered across her face, as though she couldn’t decide which one to settle on.“Nirvana?” Leah asked in surprise.“Come with me, I would drop you off,” Nirvana replied, the voice trembling from shock but Leah just nodded. Both of them entered the car, Nirvana’s eyes shook as she unconsciously looked in the direction of Severin who still remained standing in front of Kaitlyn and staring at her car.He made no effort to move at all.What was she expecting? For him to run after her and offer her a bout of explanation when he never owed her any? It wasn’t as if they were so close, it wasn’t as if they were friends.He was just an annoying idiot who always en

Nirvana turned away when she really confirmed that it was Derek sitting beside her. If it was any other day, she would have been annoyed and cursed the nature that made them see each other. Not right now though, she was too drained.Her mind was still reeling from the haze and fear that Mira’s situation put her in, she was just calming down.“I didn’t expect to see you here,” Derek started, but Nirvana just ignored him. He didn’t say anything for a while, just sipping his drink while focusing on everything else.“You didn’t let me explain before you went ahead to conclude on your own,” he started again, continuing seamlessly like the pause between them was a comfortable one.The bar was very chill, and it was quiet because it was a slow night, the hum of everyone in the background seemed to bring out his voice even more.“It is not like I wanted to leave you for Kaitlyn, it was just that the situation demanded it. I was going to talk to you when we were still dating but I figured that

“You are distracted,” The man beside her said in a low tone, she was quickly discovering that there was no hiding anything from him.Nirvana was pretty confident that she had no expression on her face, but he still figured it out.“What should I call you? I am pretty sure that you wouldn’t tell me your name.”“You can call me whatever you want,”“I am bad with names,” Nirvana turned to look at the street, even though Laura’s place was at the other part of the town but it was like they were moving much faster. “I call you shadow man in my head,” Nirvana chuckled.“Am I the only one who gets that sort of nickname?” He asked, and Nirvana got a feeling that he was smirking.“No, you aren’t,” Nirvana replied, and the light in her eyes dimmed. “There is an annoying guy who I call Ice Eyes in my head, I know his name but that is just what I call him.”Nirvana caught the way his hand tightened around the wheel. “You are close with him?”There was a slight edge in his voice, the danger in his

The suit fitted her perfectly.Nirvana couldn’t shake off the feeling that Severin had put a lot of thought into it when getting the suit. It was exactly her size, not to mention that the heels were a new product of a brand that she had been eyeing for the past week but hadn't had any chance to get because there wasn’t time for a shopping spree. Of course, Leah had asked her out but Nirvana had to decline politely because she was too busy dealing with stuff. It reminded her that she should make time for the woman before Leah descended on her.Nirvana put her wet clothes away and walked out to the main office where Severin seemed to be doing something on his phone. He raised his head when he sensed her presence and gave a hum of approval when his eyes found the suit on her body, before he turned back to his phone.Nirvana couldn’t help the annoyance she felt towards the man, even though they hadn’t been friends or anything close like that, she had expected that he would have something
