Undeniable Attraction

Chapter 22

The next day at work was hectic. I had been answering calls, emails, preparing for meetings. There was a problem with the hotel Kel was building in Paris and there was a probability that he was going to go there to fix it.

"How can you tell me that? we had a deal" he shouted hitting the table furiously

"Figure it out how to fix it then," he ordered harshly

"I'm going to call in an hour. If it's not resolved I'd come to Paris and so help me God when I find you there. "

He ended the call and looked at me, it was time for him to lash it out on me. "Go get me coffee," he ordered angrily

"This would be the third coffee this morning. It's not good for you." I advised

"Go get me the damn coffee. I didn't ask for a doctor or a nutritionist." he coldly said

"Well, I didn't sign up to be your errand girl. You want coffee, you get it yourself." I said folding my hands.

He stood up and moved dangerously to where I sat. "You will get me coffee now," he said bit by bit

"I can get you something else but not coffee," I said not tearing my gaze from his, he wasn't going to intimidate me

"I want coffee now and you'd get it. " he was very close now our heads touching, his cologne driving me crazy

Thankfully the door opened revealing Tess and she had a blush on her face seeing us. She must have thought we were doing something.

"I'm sorry I could come back later," she said turning back.

"No, it's fine," I said standing up. I knew she wanted to talk to her brother and I didn't want to bother them so I stepped out deciding to get him the coffee in the process.

"You must be the boss's wife." I heard a male and turned to look at him

"Yes, I am," I replied

"You are quite beautiful. I'm Ryan by the way." he introduced

"Nice to meet you. I presume you know my name."

"Who doesn't? Mrs Shayan Adrios.",e said and I nodded.

Hearing him call me that felt weird like he was referring to someone else.

"I have to go now.", said taking the coffee

"It was nice meeting you." he smiled revealing dimples. He was good looking, a blonde with blue eyes. He was muscular too but he couldn't be compared to Kel in any way.

On my way to his office I decided to chat with the receptionist who was my friend, her name's Clara, she was a pretty Mexican with curly brown hair and eyes.

"I never catch up with you these days.", he whined.

"I know right. I'm really busy."

"Mr Adrios is quite a workaholic. Maybe we could hang out during the week."

"If I wouldn't be busy. So how's you and Phillip?" I asked

" We've broken up.", he replied sadly

"I'm so sorry about that. We read to catch up."

Tess came out of the office then and she smiled hugging me. "We have a lot of talking to do. Saturday let's have a spa treatment."

"Sure." she, replied and she smiled. "I have to get going now. See you later."

I went back to the office and he looked calmer now. I dropped the coffee on the table and he couldn't even say thanks causing me to scoff.

"We're going for dinner at my mom's on Friday," he announced

I said nothing and went back to what I was doing. No word was said again. I looked forward to going home so I could rest and chat with Evie.

Friday came and I was currently dressing up as Evie watched. I finished my outfit with black heels. I was dressed in a simple off the shoulder gown from fashion nova and I had on minimal mac makeup

"You're so beautiful." Evie complimented smiling

"And so are you baby. " I said smiling kissing her cheek.

There was a knock on the door and Kel walked in dressed to impress as usual.

"Are you going on a date?" Evie asked and I looked at her surprised, who explained what a te was to her.

"No, we're going for dinner with his family.", I responded and she just nodded.

I had asked Kel if she could come and he didn't agree and I didn't press it further. His mom was surely going to pick on her anyway.

"Don't stay up too late okay. You can call your nanny if you need anything." I told her and she nodded.

"I'd miss you.", she said sadly. "I'd miss you too baby.", I said kissing hern on the forehead.

We said our goodbyes and left. Kel took my hand in his and I like how my body reacts to his touch even if it was just hands interlocking, like the spaces between his fingers, was meant to be with mine.

It was his mom that opened the door when we arrived. She pulled Kel into a hug then inspected him. "You look lean.", she said to Kel then turned to look at me. "Haven't you been feeding him?" she asked harshly looking at me with disgust.

I decided not to say anything. if anything he looked healthier, I made him have breakfast and dinner even though he still decided to skip lunch. She just wanted to get under my skin.

"I've been eating well mom. There's no need to worry." Kel calmly told her.

"There's every need to. Julia's daughter Joanna, she's a great cook and would take care of you very well in all things." his mother said smirking at me.

She suggested another woman for him and thinks it would make me sad? I'd be glad not to have anything to do with Kel.

"Mom I'm married to Miss West here, I don't need any other woman," Kel said and I mentally rolled my eyes. Who's he trying to fool here?

"I see my son's already spending money on you. Who knew you could ever look like this?" she said and just as I was about to reply Tess spoke

"Mom, what's taking too much time?" Tess inquired from inside.

His mom opened the door wider for us to enter then looked down at Kel's hand in mine. I was thinking he'd let go instead he put his hands around my waist.

We got in and Tess hugged me. "It's so nice to see you," she said hugging me and I smiled.

"It's nice to see you too."

Tess was with her boyfriend and Jess was too and it turned out to be Melissa while Tess boyfriend Blake was an actor. His grandma was present too so we exchanged pleasantries.

We sat down to eat. Kel, Tess, Blake and I were seated next to each other while his mom, Jesse, Melissa and his grandma were opposite us. The dinner wasn't as silent as I hoped it would be, his mom kept on asking questions and I had to answer when it was directed at me. I was so glad when it was over. I volunteered to do the dishes so I wouldn't be around them but when I was done Mel and Tess found me and we were currently talking.

"So how was your honeymoon?"
