UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 171 – 180
By Goddy Francis
We take the elevator to Gray’s office. I’ve not been here since the day we had sex in his office. I’m never looking at that office differently again.
” You look nervous.” Brooke tells me and i ignore him. Fundraiser. Children Cancer research. Fuckin hell.
The elevator dings and we step out. Cassandra raises her head to look at me with a sneer. So he’s back and he didn’t bother to call me. I feel the pit of my stomach twitch and I’m uneasy.
What’s he gonna look like after a month. He always looks hotter each time i see him after a long time.
” Is Gray in ?” I ask Gray’s PA, Cassandra.
” What ? Go on and check for yourself Mrs Carter.” She scoffs.
I glare at her and walk to Gray’s office door. I raise my hand to knock but i halt. My heartbeat is rapid and i can see myself freaking out with just looking at him. I’m nervous and afraid. What if he has finally give me up. Then I’m committing suicide. I knock and wait for a response.
” Cassie what ?”
It’s really him. That voice. I bite my lip and twist the knob to walk in. My mouth is already dry and my feet are week.
” Cassandra.” He calls out from the inside.
I take in a deep breath and walk in. His swivel chair is facing the glass wall that views the city. Brooke shuts the door and adjusts his tie.
” Cassie , I’m on a break. I told you to skip….” He turns around and halts.
Oh God.
He looks so good looking. Better than I can ever imagine. His black dress shirt is without a tie and the top buttons are out. He looks surprised and he blinks his eyes in surprise. God , my heart flutters and I wanna run to him and hug him. How come he’s around and he refused to check on me. He smirks and looks down my form. It’s like we’re just meeting for the first time and I look like that nervous naive girl again.
” Ariel. Who’s this?” He asks looking down at Brooke.
” Good day Mr Carter.” Brooke greets. Gray doesn’t reply.
His eyes are lock with mine and I can’t find my voice.
” Sit.” He says.
I nod and help Brooke with a sit. I didn’t sit.
” I’ll stand. Thanks.”
He takes a deep breath and looks between me and Brooke.
” So…”
” We need a fundraiser….” I rush out.” I’m sorry. I um.. he’s Sterling’s uh.. I..”
” Sterling’s accountant.” Brooke completes for me as he looks at me weirdly. I know that was a bit weird. I swallow when my eyes scan the desk.
Memories drift into my head and I’m already getting wet. He notices my uneasiness and he knows I’m already getting sexually frustrated with just his lustful grey eyes. He smirks and looks down at the desk. I got laid on that desk few months ago.
” Fundraiser?”
” Yeah. For cancer research and for the kids. Sterling needs a support and you’re the best option.”
” Why?” Gray asks as he looks at me.
Brooke gulps and looks at me.
” Well. Uh.. you’re a nice person and we…” Brooke looks at me and urge me to continue.
” How much ?” Gray asks and bites his lip.
I’ve been biting my bottom lip like forever. He notices my movement and the way I clench my legs tightly. I badly want him to touch me right now and i also wanna yell at him for abandoning me for over a month without a hello.
“Fifty million. Please we’ll be grateful if you…”
” Okay. Go to the front desk. My PA will send the transfer.” Gray says.
” Oh my God. Thank you very much sir.” Brooke stands up and thank Gray repeatedly.
” Come on Ariel.” Brooke motions for me to follow him.
” Ariel wait. You can go Brooke. I wanna have a word with her.” Gray tells Brooke and my heart stop working.
” Uh..” i stutter.
” Leave Brooke.”
” She’s Theo’s intern and she will be needed at work.” Brooke says. He’s trying to ruin everything with his crazy persistence.
Gray rubs his temple and shove out a gun. He pulls the hammer and point it at Brooke. Brooke panics and swallows.
” Are you leaving or not?”
” Sure sir. See ya later Ariel.” Brooke says and turn to rush out of Gray’s office.
” On a second thought.” Gray says as he Brooke stops to look at him.
” Tell Theo , he owes me and I want an interest too.”
” What ?” Brooke asks surprisingly as he looks at me. Breathe accountant, I also thought the 50 million was free.
” I’m not charity Brooke. I’ll never throw away fifty million to Sterling fuckin Corp. I’m expecting 56 million in return. He shouldn’t keep me waiting when I might need it. Leave.” Gray orders Brooke.
He swallows nervously and run out of Gray’s office.
