After freshening up, I drove my Mercedes to the office. I went in and asked Liam to get some breakfast from the canteen. And also asked Riley to came to my office.
I waited there.
Liam went out. And i started feeling a bit tensed and excited. She was going to be here. I was more than excited , my wolf was happy.
As for the anger, it hasn’t gone yet because she hadn’t yet talked to me but it had reduced a lot.
I was waiting while there was a knock on the door.
“come in ” i lifted my face to see her beautiful face but my face automatically frowned as I saw Liam there.
He was here with a plate of food in his hand.
He take the food and came towards my table. I didn’t wanted to eat now.
“Keep it in the lounge ” I said opening one if the files. ” I have lots of work. I will eat later. ”
“But sir it won’t taste good if it became cold” he said putting down the plate of food.
“First eat sir. You should care about yourself ” he added.
I glared at him and he quickly picked up the plate on his hand.
“I’m putting this on the lounge, ask me if you got hungry ” he said as he went towards the lounge.
As he came out, I smelled the scent of rose and vanilla coming nearer and nearer. I got excited and then peeked at Liam just to check if he was noticing any changes in my expression.
He really was looking at me. I don’t know if he noticed my excitement, but I felt a bit uncomfortable. I threw the file in my hand towards him.
“Check this one ” I gave him work just to remove the awkwardness .
He catched the file and started looking into it without any further questions.
“knock knock” there was a knock on the door and I knew she was standing there by her scent. And i could felt her scared and nervous through the mate bond. She is always nervous around me. My lips curled up into a smile itself.
“Come in” I said making my voice as much serious as possible.
But instead of her, Nolan opened the door and my face fall. My wolf was so angry with her. I wasn’t over the previous incident and here she comes to talk to me with a shild. Huh? Does she think he can protect her ? What a joke to stand him up against me. I smirked at her stupidity. She really knows how to piss me off.
Her little actions were driving me crazy. I was calm before now I was feeling furious. My wolf was also fumming with anger seeing her with someone else. She is my mate, why can’t she understand ?
The Nolan guy walked inside and she also followed behind him.
She moved her eyes around the whole room. She was exploring it with her eyes. She looked at Liam after she finished looking at the room and then she looked at me at last.
I raised my head and keep following them. As our eyes met, she stopped right there. She was nervous and she kept looking at me.
“Mr Gold, You wanted to see us ” Mr Reid bowed in front of me.
Us Huh? I felt disgusted. I glared at Liam. He has been with me for almost five years so it wasn’t difficult for him to understand why was I angry.
“It was specially Ms Wilson ” Liam quickly spoke and gave me a weak smile.
She came forward quickly ” I… I’m sorry. That was unintentional. ” she said as she bowed.
I didn’t spoke anything. I don’t want to speak to her. I have waited for her to came to me and apologize, not even apologizing once spoke to me but first she messes up and then she foget all about me and was enjoying and now she even get a man to guard. Wow .
I really wanted this earlier, Riley.
“You may get up, Ms Wilson. Mr Gold is so kind. Even if you did so, he didn’t fire you. ” Liam spoke again.
I looked at him and he looked at me. He must have noticing my facial change that’s why he was speaking for me.
I looked back to her and she raised her head a bit. I quickly looked away and ignored her. I just acted as if they weren’t there.
I faked to work on computer seriously While all I was doing was just to click keyboard randomly.
“Thank you… Mr Gold. I will be careful in future. ” she said to me
I didn’t looked at her. I instead looked at Liam and signaled him to bring that file. This file was an impossible task for anyone. It was a file of a debtor who lives out of the city and so up in the mountains. I wanted to punish her.
Liam went forward and get that file. Then he gave it to her. ” It’s on your own to save your work. This man is not paying back our money. If you can collect the money before office hour, your job is saved. ” he said smiling.
“Thank you. I’ll be get going then. ” she said bowing.
I smirked at that. She said she will be going but she didn’t know where she was going.
Then she and Nolan got out of the office.
I stood up from the chair and entered the lounge. I went in and sat on a sofa and took the food in hand. It was simple breakfast, a set of sandwich with warm milk which was already cold.
I took a bite of sandwich and drank the milk. It wasn’t that tasty still i finished everything on the plate.
After that I went to the washroom and washed my face. I looked at the mirror, a reflection if me was staring at me.
I went back to the longue and sat there. I had no intention of working while Liam had loads of work to do. He has to manage everything new as well as from the party few days ago.
I hadn’t slept yesterday’s night and then I slept on the lounge.
It was day time while I sleep.
I woke up a few hours later. I was panting and cold sweats were coming out of my body.
I looked around, Ac was still working but I was feeling hot. I got up from the bed and drank a jug of water in one go. Water still couldn’t make me cooled down.
I didn’t remember what I saw in my dream but one thing was for sure. It was so scary and about her.
I started worrying about her. She must be there on the mountains if she went for real.
She will be OK. It’s just physical punishment. I have checked everything, she can go there and even if she take one and half to go up and then one hour there, which will be lesser because ther debtor wasn’t a bad person and then if it take again one and half to get down it will still be enough. She can came down before the bus passes by. Even if she misses one another bus will came in difference of one hour.
I tried to convince myself.. But I wasn’t a bit cooled down. I paced here and there few times. I had two meetings today. I decided to attend them because not doing anything was inviting her memories.
Even in the meetings, I couldn’t focus on the work. I was constantly thinking about her.
Time went by and it was already four. I have asked her to came before office hours to save her job. She’ll be here in an hour. I tried to smile but I failed.
Soon it was five. I looked for her down on her office but she wasn’t here. I started being worried about her. It was five, dive thirty and then six but she didn’t arrived.
Maybe she missed her first bus, she’ll came by the next bus. It will take time to embrace the bus here. I tried to comfort myself but I was getting more and more anxious.
I waited till seven but she didn’t came still. I was so scared. I couldn’t wait no more. I asked Liam to check about it. He had already went home and I was the only one in the office.
After a while he reported that, due to the breakdown of the road no bus had passed that area.
