Semua Bab The billionaire scandal- the office affair.: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Meeting Miles had made me so nervous that I felt like puking, and with the conversation Brian and I had this morning, I was feeling very down.I had dressed casually; I didn’t want to attract unnecessary attention from the media, and with the person I am meeting, I am sure they would have a field day with me.He suggested a very secluded restaurant, which was perfect because I was still avoiding the media.It was empty when I arrived, and I was able to settle in a very protected area. He arrived soon after I sat down, like he had been waiting for ages.“Ellie,” he sounded so excited, so relieved that I came to see him.“What do you want?” With the anger of this morning paired with the fact that this man had been running around talking crap about me, I appeared impatient.He took a deep breath before sitting across from me. “I am sorry,” he said.“I know what I did was very hurtful, but C

He walked slowly, his eyes didn’t leave me for the whole time, but he didn’t say anything until we got to his car.“Will I be seeing you at the office on Monday?” he finally spoke.His words pierced my heart completely because he was drawing a line, and I was getting the picture.“I will be sending my resignation,” I said in a low tone. He let out a very unamused laugh after I had said that.“No, you are not allowed to resign,” he said, our eyes finally met for the first time since I left.They were bloodshot, and his eyelids looked heavy, like they were begging him to close them.“Why are you breaking up with me? Is it because of what my biological father did?”His words and his physical appearance made me take a step back, “What? What do you mean, aren’t you the one who is trying to draw the line between us?”“What line? I didn’t just as

We spent the weekend comforting my mother; my father knew well how to deal with everything, so all we were doing was following his rules on how to get ‘his queen into a better mood.’By Monday, she was already feeling better. Brian had pulled some strings to make sure Warren and Trisha stopped visiting, so I didn’t have the anxiety of leaving them alone.I was happy to be back to work, and with the whole scandal behind us.Everything was going well; no one gossiped, and there was no one judging me. We had gone back to how we were originally.But there was a new shift. I was not just Brian Beckett’s assistant, I was his woman.The whole office seemed immune to this; they still treated me like a normal coworker and included me in office gossip.We settled into a routine of visiting his parents every weekend when we didn’t have work.It had been five months since the whole scandal. My parents were finally co

I contemplated meeting her for a while, but after deliberation, I decided to talk to her.We met at a small coffee shop near my previous apartment, where we used to like going there a lot when we were still close.She looked disheveled, her hair was a mess, and her eyes were swollen like she had been crying for days.“It has been a while,” she said with a pained smile.“How have you been?” she let out an exasperated laugh as I said this; truthfully, her physical state did show she had not been doing well.“You can see how,” she said, annoyed, “But you look like you have been happy.”’“I am, Brian treats me so well,” I said proudly.“My father died,” she finally said. “I wanted to ask if it was possible to get your mother to come to his funeral. It was his last wish.“No, I will not force my mother to be around someone who constantly hurts

Chapter 1 – Can of worms.Therapists get to be in the front seat, observing and helping so many relationships pull through during tough times.We help our clients identify flaws in their relationships and find ways to address and overcome those flaws.But for some reason, Eleanor Marino had been busy finding cracks in other people’s relationships, and I didn’t see my cracks.And it seems to be too late, because Miles seems to be on his last straw. “What do you mean, Miles? Why open up our relationship? We are happy.”“Are we? "Do you think this relationship that is dictated by your job is a happy one?” he said agitatedly.He then started to list all the flaws we had, how I always used my license as a therapist to dismiss, and the wild thing is that Trisha warned me about this.“Can we try something first?” I begged, and he simply looked at me and rolled his eyes.“What other means? "You mean therapy?” he said with a huff, “Just think about my proposition and I will think about yours.”
