Alle Kapitel von My Bestfriend’s Father: Kapitel 71 – Kapitel 80

BrittneyBiting my lips, I paced to the end of the hallway, throwing furtive glances at Andre's room.The unsigned court documents were digging a hole through my bag.I had told Claire to go home and rest while I looked over her father.She looked so relieved when I offered to do that I didn't have the heart to tell her that it was because I wanted something from Andre.I needed to talk to him about the lawsuit and Jason Bloom.Only he might not be so accommodating.Rolling my shoulders to relieve the tension, I decided to go for it regardless, marching into his room without the faintest idea of what to say.Luckily for me, he was wide awake with hot, nerdy glasses perched on his nose, surprise reflecting in his gaze. “Brittney…you're…here.”“Hi,” I waved, tucking my hair back. “How are you um, feeling?” I gestured to his body, half of which was encased in a bandage.Shit.I could face palm myself right.He must be in pain obviously.“I guess I'm good.” His lips crooked up in a half s

BrittneyI just gave Adam Willis a blank stare because what was I supposed to say to that?It's not every day that a highly sought-after billionaire CEO works in a city office and tells you he has plans to destroy everything your baby daddy has worked hard to achieve.“Uh, Mr Willis…” I started off cautiously. “I thought you came here to get the financial analysis of the DeMarco Group.”“Ms Larson, I don't want to beat around the bush, so I'll tell you what I want.” He leans forward, adjusting the lapel of his suit. “Usually, I am supposed to have this conversation with your boss, but for some reason, he trusts you enough with such sensitive information, I'll tell you the same thing I'm supposed to tell him. I want DeMarco Group, and I don't care how.”“Can I speak casually, Mr Willis?” I ask him.“Please do.” He gestured for me to go ahead.“Why? Hearing you talk about getting this company sounds like a vendetta and the truth is, I wouldn't advise my boss to do something that would b

Brittney“Thanks, Jane, you're such a lifesaver.” I breathed out in relief.“Of course,” she clapped my shoulder in support. “I don't know what's going on with you right now but whatever it is, I hope it's all gets resolved pretty soon. In the meantime, it's always a delight having Samantha with me.”Giggling, she spun to face Samantha who has her legs kicking up in the air, chasing some imaginary rainbows or something.“You know that if I could tell you, I would.” I tried to explain to her.As it was now, there were so many uncertainties hanging in the air and with the recent interaction I just had with Adam Willis, I'm not risking or putting anyone's lives in danger.“Girl, you know I don't care about that.” She drawled sweetly, pulling me closer. “All I want to know is if you're okay. Physically and mentally.”My mouthed up and snapped shut.While I can attest to being of sound health, I can't vouch for my mental state as it currently was in shambles.“I will be,” I eventually mana

LeilaI stared at him blankly, his name not having the effect he intended it to have. “Huh?”His smug grin faltered but he arrogantly extended his hand. “Adam Willis, CEO of the Willis Corporation?”“Never rang a bell,” I say, folding my arms across my chest, ignoring his hand. “Mind telling me what you're doing all the way over here?”“I believe you and I can help each other.” He smoothly slides his hands back. “We have some…similar interests…”I studied him for a minute, just perusing him as a person.I've met guys like this for most of my life. Entitled, powerful, and incredibly arrogant to think the Sun rises and sets on their bank account.But I have to hand it to him, this Adam guy is ballsy.To show up in front of my doorstep to ask for…whatever he came here to ask for without placing a call, he's got guts.“I'll hear you out but first, I need you to answer one question.” I took one step closer, letting my hands fall to my sides. “How did you know I'd be here?”“What do you mea

LauraI fell asleep on the balcony.It was a pretty dumb decision as I woke up to half of my body in a darker colour but that wasn't what woke me up.It was the incessant pounding in my brain.Or was it in my skull?I couldn't tell.Eventually, I managed to figure out that someone was banging on my front door like a crazy person and I peeled my tired body off the floor and towards the door.Before flipping the door, I peered at the tiny peephole, taken aback by seeing a flushed Brittney on the other side.I ducked down, gasping when I saw the state of my apartment.Takeout boxes were littered, day-old clothes hanging from the chairs, as well as wine glasses.“Claire?” Brittney called out, her voice slightly muffled. “I know you're in there…please, let me in.”I might have turned her away but the raw vulnerability in her voice shook me, prompting me to unlock the door and back away., hiding behind the door. “Hey,”She walked in and to tell how rattled she was, she ignored the debris an
