OFF LIMITS: FAKE DATING THE ICE KING のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

RHYS’ POV After a hectic day at work, I headed home to eat and have some rest without knowing that I was going to be faced with a serious challenge. When I saw Thelma standing in front of the house with a lady, I thought it could be one of the neighbors, and I was wondering what she wanted until I looked again and saw that it was Pamela. I couldn’t stop my heart from racing so fast, faster than my footsteps as I hurriedly slammed the door and went to them. Pamela looked at me with a smirk on her face, and that made me wonder what her intention was. I couldn’t even look at Thelma in the eyes. “Pamela? You still haven’t answered my question. What are you doing here?! I thought I warned you not to ever show up here!” I tried to be in charge of my emotions, but the more I tried, the more difficult it was for me to remain comported. “I was about to tell your girlfriend something very important, Rhys. I am sorry I showed up here even though you told me not to.” Pamela’s countenance c

THELMA’S POV Anton mentioned earlier that we were going to have an impromptu meeting with the CEO of the new company we were supposed to be working with. I didn’t have any choice but to prepare for the meeting since I was heading the project. He instructed earlier that I prepare some documents that would map out the directives of how the project would be carried out to avoid any kind of issue in the future. We would have involved our legal representatives, but Anton said Brian told him that it wasn’t necessary since we weren’t working with a common fund. By the time Brian arrived with the new CEO, I was still trying to go through the documents I had printed just to make sure that there were no mistakes. Slowly, I sauntered my way along the hallway that led to Anton’s office, hoping that my meeting with the CEO of the other company was going to be pleasant. But my jaw dropped as soon as I saw Jax standing close to Brian, who was seated in front of the desk in the office. It wasn

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE THELMA’S POV Anton had already left the building, probably to attend to something personal. I was standing in front of the building, waiting for Brian, who pulled over in front of me. “Hello, beautiful damsel! Are you ready?” He had a smile on his face, and I had to force myself to reciprocate. “Hop in. I promise that you'll have the best time in the world.” Brian seemed so certain, but I was only going on that date with him for obvious reasons. I got into his car and put on my seatbelt as soon as I remembered how fast he drove the last time I was inside his car. He got distracted staring at me so many times, and I hoped that he was not going to run into any of the fast-moving cars in front of us. “Why are you so quiet, Thelma? What’s going on inside your head?” He asked, turning to glance at me. “Nothing. I don’t have anything to say.” “Oh, I see.” He nodded and paid attention to the road for a few minutes before he returned his gaze to me. He just didn’t wa

THELMA’S POV Brian was surprised that I made such a demand. He stared at me for a while to see if I was going to tell him that I was joking, but I kept my serious face. “I thought this was a joke.” He said calmly, expecting me to say what he wanted to hear. He saw that I wasn’t ready to change his mind, and that made him sigh. Slowly, he adjusted himself and cleared his throat before he continued with a calm tone. “This cannot be so easy for me to do, Thelma. You are asking me to stop Jax from coming to your company.” “Yes, Brian. That’s what I want.” I insisted, nodding to affirm my words. He stared again, this time with a little emotion on his face. I could see that he had a lot of things going on in his mind, but he just couldn’t say them. Suddenly, he felt the need to drink some wine, and he quickly grabbed the wine from the table and gulped everything. That wasn’t enough for him, he had to pour more wine into his glass while I stared at him without saying a word. I would

RHYS’ POV It wasn’t long before the one person I was never expecting to see in Jax’s house walked in. My eyes bulged instantly, almost crawling out of their sockets. “What the hell is Sylvia doing here?!” I thought to myself, unable to take my eyes away from her. She was also shocked and stood right there close to the door, unable to say a word. She couldn't take her eyes off me. I was certain that she was asking similar questions regarding the reason why I was there, but none of us was able to say a word. “Rhys?! What’s going on?!” Jax called out to me for the umpteenth time. I knew that he had been trying to get my attention, but I was unable to get a grip on myself until later. “Is there a problem? Do you two know each other?” He asked, and I was about to say something when Sylvia quickly interrupted me. “No!” She said hastily, walking toward Jax while she ignored me completely. “He just looks like someone I know from the past. He has a striking resemblance to someone from
