Now and Forever

Chapter 35

P.S: I must say, that last chapter had a crappy ending so this chapter is still Alexander's POV.

~~~

Monday morning...

"I want all of the financial records of the company from the-"

"Past two weeks on your desk by 2:00 yes I know, I know! Now go or else your going to be late!" Leila urged and tossed me my jacket.

"You should also-"

"Read through all the files and documents that need your signature for approval, you're going to make them wait for you! Now move move move!"

"Yes but-"

"Mr Knight? Amelia's here." Charlotte popped her head through the door to inform me but her face turned sour when she saw Leila standing next to me.

"I'll be just a minute." She nodded her head and closed the door behind her.

"What-"

"I promise I'll answer all your questions when you come back later but you actually have to go now." I rolled my eyes mentally but obliged and walked out of my office.

"I still want a job you know." Amelia spoke up after 10 minutes, breaking the comfortable silence.

"What?" I asked even though I heard her.

"I want a job."

"And the answer is always going to be no."

"But why not? Do you expect me to sit at home all day and the only times I go out are for shopping for things I would never use like those trophy wives? I'm sorry to disappoint you but no." She crossed her arms and turned away and looked out of the window.

Why is she in such a bad mood??

"No, but I told you, I don't mix my-"

"Private and work life together, yeah I know, I've heard that a million times." She mumbled the last part but I caught onto it.

Okay, I'm now convinced she's not okay.

"Are you okay?" I asked, confusion dripping from my voice and parked at our destination.

"I'm fine, why do you ask?" She took off her seatbelt, opened the door and got out of the car without even waiting for me to reply.

"Are you sure you're okay?" I asked again when the waitress led us to our reserved table.

"I'm fine." She leaned back in her seat and drummed her fingers on the table, not sparing me one look.

"Okay, you're being child-" she looked up at me as if daring me to finish my sentence but her sully expression was quickly replaced with a polite smile when she saw who had just walked into the restaurant.

I also looked up but was immediately engulfed in a huge bear hug only for my mother's homely scent immediately attacking my nostrils.
