Her Lips on His Kelly's POV I stopped when I almost bumped into Pierce as I was about to enter the meeting room. Our gazes met and my heart Instantly raced. His serious face immediately softened after he saw me. "Kel-" "Good morning, Mr. Anderson." His lips parted. I walked past him and went straight to my usual chair whenever we had a meeting.
From the corner of my eyes, I saw him looking atand instead of going out, he went back to his chair which is just beside mine.
"Can we talk later?" He asked as he looked at my face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI glanced at the employee who's putting documents on the table. Her hands slowed down because of what Pierce said.
"I have another meeting after this, Mr. Anderson." "Just...five minutes?" I lazily looked at him and didn't answer immediately. I waited for the female employee to leave before I faced him completely.
"We already talked. I told you to givea year-" "Then, why did you clast night?" I was taken aback. He misunderstood everything. He thought I'm staying just because I cto his house last night. He doesn't have any idea that I was humiliated last night. Someone filmednaked and he's clueless as fck.
Instead of answering him, my eyes landed on the rings on his finger.
"Why are you still wearing those rings?" "I didn't regret marrying you, Kelly. You are part of my life and so are these rings." I looked him in the eyes. "If I were Lexi, I wouldn't allow you to wear someone else's ring." He clenched his jaws. "You're not just someone else." I looked away and answered with sarcasm, "Yeah. I am one of your treasures." "Why do you wantto leave you alone? I'm worried about you, Kelly. The man who followed you in the parking lot hasn't been caught-" "Luke is working on that," I cut him off as I played with the pen on the table.
"What can he do? He's just-" I looked at him coldly. "He can do everything you can't do." He was rendered speechless. I don't wanna sound bitter or what but I'm just really angry and disappointed with him. He said he's not dating Lexi but I caught them together in his house. She was wearing his t-shirt and they looked like they just fcked. Pierce didn't say anything again. He rested his back on his chair but I could still feel his eyes on me. He was watchingas if weighing my expression. I pressed my lips together and lifted my chin when the other official of the company arrived. ***Pierce's POV I don't know what to do. Kelly kept on avoidingand she's askingto leave her alone for a year. How can I fcking do that when I feel like I'd lose my mind whenever she's mad at me. I couldn't stand seeing her angry. I'm losing my focus. My mind would be in chaos. I The meeting started and ended when I kept on glancing at her but even once, she didn't throw a glance at me. I feel miserable. She's my best friend and I'm losing her. I don't wanna lose her but I don't wanna give up on Lexi. I've been in love with her since high school. I ju I'm a mess. I don't like this but I couldn't do anything.
After the meeting, I silently watched Kelly as she walked confidently towards. her office. I don't know why I have a bad feeling. Since last night, I couldn't get her off my mind. I feel like I missed something very important and that's the reason why she's angry with me. "Luke!" I called Luke who's standing in front of Kelly's office after she entered.
"Sir..." I clenched my jaw and glanced at Kelly inside her office through the glass door. When I looked at Luke again, I felt irritated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What happened last night?" He bowed his head, "I apologize, Mr. Anderson. I couldn't tell you." "What?" I growled at him. I balled my fists and moved a little closer. "She was my wife, Luke. And she's my best friend. I deserve to know what's happening to her." "I'm sorry, sir."
I clenched my jaws again and glared at him before I walked out. I feelpathetic trying to get him to answerwhen I clearly know that he's loyal to Kelly. He's like a dog and I'm starting to hate him now. I went to my office and dropped my body on the swivel chair. I started massaging my forehead while squeezing my eyes when a pair of warm hands. caressed my shoulders.
I jumped and looked at Lexi who's standing beside me. She immediately. kissed my cheek as she smiled, "You seem stressed."
I looked away. How can I tell Kelly that she misunderstood us last night? Wait, is she angry because of it? Is she acting like this because she felt like I'm lying to her when told her I'm not dating/Lexi? That was the truth. Lexi and I aren't in a relationship although we have mutual understanding. However, that was all.
Nothing happened last night. I was about to take a shower last night when Lexi came. She accidentally spilled water on her clothes so she borrowed mine. I was fixing my belt because just like what I said, I was about to take a shower. I feel like it was the reason why Kelly is angry so I gently pushed Lexi and pulled myself up. She was calling my nbut I'm determined to talk to Kelly,
apologize and explain to her.
However, I feel like the world fell m uponwhen I saw Luke in front of N her swivel chair. His left hand was pressed on the table while his other hand was on Kelly's cheek. Something insideseemed to explode as I realized what they're doing. They are fcking kissing! H-Her lips are on someone else's lips....
