All Chapters of The billionaire scandal- the office affair.: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

After what was a long and tense drive back, I was so happy when we finally arrived at my apartment complex past midnight.I was now free from the awkward atmosphere between Mr. Beckett and I, yes, I have reverted to calling him Mr. Beckett because I wanted to draw a line between us.I rushed back home happy, happy to see Miles. We needed this, the whole open relationship thing, because it had opened our hearts so much.He was able to be the man that I fell in love with. We spoke like we used to. He often called when missing me. He was my Miles again, the one I have built so much with over the years.But something stopped me in my tracks the moment I reached my apartment: voices, moans of pleasure and Miles’ voice.He had brought a girl back to our home, he had betrayed our rules. Worse, he had cheated again, because we clearly agreed on this being an exclusive relationship again.When I had geared myself to confront him, the lady&rsquo

Miles’s call is abrupt, but the shamelessness makes me want to gag, “Ellie, I have accompanied Trisha back to her hometown, something happened to her father.”He rushed, panicked. I received Trisha’s text explaining everything about her father’s health deteriorating after Miles dropped the call.I ignored the message and continued walking to my office. “You are staying with me for now,” Brian says. “We should call your landlord about terminating the lease.”“Miles and I haven’t talked yet,” I can see the frustration in Brian’s face, “I want to set the record straight and breakup, I will not be going back to him.”He studied me for a while, “I will not stand back this time, Eleanour, I will fight, because you gave me the right to fight.”’“I know…. We will be official once I break up with Miles officially,” I coaxed him, &ld

My life became peaceful after that, just me and a man that enjoyed dotting on me. It was fun to be introduced to Brian’s world, and I enjoyed everything.The current office gossip made me giggle and kick my feet, because it was about how the boss has been glowing lately.Many speculated he had fallen in love and his girl was treating him right. I felt proud that I was making Brian happy enough that other people could see the change.“Come on, we are going out tonight, whether you like it or not,” I hear Adriene yell at Brian.It has been two months since I left the whole Trisha and Miles saga. Kai and Adriene had been trying their best to drag Brian out of his home but it was not working.“I told you two already, I want to stay in,” I enter his office cautiously.Greeting the two and placing the documents I have brought on Brian’s desk, Kai looks at me for a while, then he looks at Brian and grins.

The number of phone calls I received the next morning told me everything I needed to know about this whole scandal; it was getting out of control. I woke up early and showered so I could get ready for work, but before I could go to the office, Mrs. Beckett stopped me.“Wait, where are you going?”“To the office,” she shakes her head, before closing the door, “Come on, you are taking a week off, Brian approved it.”I spent the day with her; she took my phone and answered the call I received only by giving me the phone as if it was either my family or Brian.Brian decided to go to the office alone because it was apparent that they knew the girl he was photographed with was me and there was a swarm of fans that were attacking me on social media.Mrs. Beckett took my phone the whole day, because she didn’t want it to affect my mental health, especially when a blast from the past started a hate camp

When our school had a trip to the city for career guidance, I was the first to sign up, because I had always dreamt big for myself.But right after signing up, my father got ill, and all the money went to his medical bills, and my mother didn’t want to dip into my college fund, so I had to give up on my dream.I was so bummed the whole month because I would not be able to travel to the city, until Daniela surprised me, she had saved all her pocket money and paired with the money she got for her good achievements at school, she decided to pay for my trip.I was so excited I wanted to cry. Dani had always been a great little sister to me and bringing me to tears with her kind gestures was her common occurrence.My classmates and I were beaming with joy. I was so nervous, and we did our best not to ruin the experience.We didn’t, we got lost, though, we separated from the crowd, and we couldn’t find our way back to the bus.Th
