Chapter 79- Finding Out the Truth
“ Uhm, Mirabel?” I asked and she nodded. Okay this was the part where I had to decide if I wanted to keep my head or lose it. When Anna was angry it was like walking on eggshells.
“ Yeah, Mirabel, why was she here? She was here the other time and just outside the company I met with her and she was so mean,” she said,
" Look baby that woman is a pain in the ass too, I don't know how to get rid of her, we use to be friends but all she has done lately is to keep annoying the hell out of me, don't worry my love, I'll take care of her,” I said,
" But what does she really want? She wouldn't just come here without a reason,” she asked,
" Babe, can I take the painkillers first?" I asked, using the lie again and it worked. She immediately kicked into action like she came back to her senses.
“ Oh my God, I'm so sorry babe, I should have given you the medicine first before I started my ranting," she said as she opened the tablets and took out two before giving it to me.
She's such a sweetheart and what am I being right now? A lying asshole.
I watched as she quickly opened the water bottle on my table and handed it to me before I swallowed the medicine. I hope karma doesn't come back and bite me on the ass and it turns out later that I'll have a stomach ache.
“ Do you feel better now my love?" She asked and I nodded as I walked to my chair and sat down and she followed as she leaned on my desk looking at me with worry.
“ Stop worrying, I'm doing fine," I said as I took her hand and dropped a kiss on it and she smiled before running her fingers through my hair.
“ What did you eat this morning? Should I cook breakfast and bring it to work for you tomorrow so we won't have a repeat of this tomorrow?" she asked but I shook my head. As much as I enjoyed her cooking, I know there's nothing wrong with me, so putting her through all the stress is not necessary.
“ I'm good baby, don't worry, just hug me for a little while and I'll be fine," I said and she chuckled before she hugged me and I couldn't help but close my eyes in satisfaction. I was a blessed man.
I was still hugging her when my office door suddenly opened and she quickly pushed away from me and I couldn't help but miss the feeling of her soft body. I was about to wonder who had the guts to open my office like that until I heard the familiar voice.
“ I hate to burst your love bubble, but this is an office and you both need to work, so stop playing,” Nathan said,
“ Oh, Nathan, you're here," Anna said and I looked at her to see her blushing as her ears turned red and I couldn't help but chuckle.
“ Yeah and you both are being all lovey dovie,” he said and I turned to him,
" Stop teasing my girlfriend,” I said,
" Ow, remind me I'm single,” he said with a chuckle. Being single was totally his choice, he's a playboy just like I was but my angel came into my life, maybe he'll find his soon.
" Uhm, Nathan I just wanted to say thank you for your help the night I went missing, thank you for looking for me and…I'll be in my office if you need anything,” Anna said and before any of us could say anything she was already at the door.
" Come on sunshine, I thought we were going to talk?” He asked but the response he got was the door shutting.
" Stop teasing my girlfriend and stopping giving her pet names because only I have the right to do that,” I said and he just rolled his eyes,
“ She's my friend, I get to call her what I want,” he said as he walked to the visitor's chair in front of me and sat down.
“ How's it going?" He asked and I sighed,
“ Mirabel is getting persistent, I really don't know what to do about her, she was here today and unfortunately even though I tried to prevent Anna from seeing her, she still met her outside, I don't like this Nathan, why now? Why now that I've come to my senses that I shouldn't be fooling around, maybe you should too. But what I'm trying to say is that I love Anna and I don't want to marry anyone except her,” I said with a sigh,
“ It's okay brother, everything is going to work out fine don't worry,” he said and I nodded.
" And thanks for what you did that day, I can't even imagine the type of rumors that would have begun circulating, I can't deal with that and even worst I don't want to explain anything to Anna that would upset her, you don't know what you did for me but I'm grateful,” I said and he laughed,
" You can buy me a private jet,” he said and I couldn't help but chuckle as I shook my head at his antics.
" Yeah, buy you a private jet so you can show off to all the women following you everywhere like bees," I said and he just shrugged.
“ Enough of that, let's get down to business,” he said as he brought out a document from his bag and pushed it towards me.
“ I took care of the case in China, but there's a little problem," he said,
“ What problem?" I asked,
“ I found a model for the advertising job, she's good and popular but she happens to be one of your flints,"
“ Find someone else," I immediately said,
“ But she's the best option, it's not like you're going to have anything with her, it's just business," he said, trying to convince me. If I had an idea of the model he was talking about, what I do know was that she's going to try something funny and I didn't want that, I don't want trouble.
“ No not happening, my life can't get…” I stopped what I was going to say when my phone started ringing and I turned to it to see it was her.
" What the fuck? This isn't funny anymore, it's really pissing me off. What part of I'm not going to marry her no matter what any of them do, don't she understand? I'm not going to marry Mirable,”
" Was that why she was here?” I suddenly heard a voice ask and I felt my heart stop as a chill went down my spine and I quickly raised my head like it would fall off my neck.
Fuck!
