Chapter 115
Three hours later , Greg’s jaws were touching the ground . He couldn’t stop explaining how impressed he was with what all i did . He kept taking notes and asking questions . I knew he just wanted to be thorough , but I had read his file . I knew what information he needed to know and what I should’s tell m He was very interested in my personal life , too , and even though he said he had heard so much about me , he knew very little .
Today , I had chosen to wear a blazer with sleeves that were a little too long for me . It somehow hid my ring , and Greg never once asked if I was single or taken . I was not trying to hide anything , but with how friendly he was getting , I wished he could see my ring .
We wrapped up our catch – up and headed for the team meeting . As we walked past Blake’s office , I looked at the time . It was 3 pm . I hadn’t teen Him a day , and after my encounter with him this morning , he hadn’t even texted me . I knew he was mad for the way I acted , but it was his fault , I knew I had asked to keep the two life’s separate , but he could have spoken to me in his office before just breaking the news to me in the conference room .
I peeked into his office and watched as he leaned over the back table , flipping through files . I felt a little guilty about telling him we would chat later . 1 stopped mid – step and contemplated going to see him . He must have sensed me . His shoulders stiffened , and he slowly turned around , his eyes meeting mine .
My anger and annoyance melted when I saw the guilt in his eyes too . He gave me a tight smile and waved . I couldn’t stay angry at him . I didn’t know if this was the pull he was talking about , but I had the urge to walk over and hug him . He looked like a lost little boy asking for help .
Before I could walk towards him , Greg stepped in my way .
“ Hey Rosy , listen , I was thinking . What are your plans after work ? Maybe we could get a drink ? I don’t know anyone here , and it’s a little boring without any company ” he smiled .
Was this boy suicidal ? He was standing in of my fiancé’s office , asking me to go for drinks with him ? My possessive , very influential , and powerful fiancé .
From the corner of my eye , I saw Blake move . He walked over and stood in the doorway casually leaning against it. He crossed his arms and observed me .
“ Umm , that’s a very generous offer , Greg , but I’m sorry , I have plans . My fiancé and I have some wedding stuff to sort out . I’m sure you’ll make a few friends at this team meeting . I have a few guys on the team that love to go out for drinks . ”
“ Oh shit , I’m so sorry if that came across the wrong way . I know you’re engaged . Mr. Cooper mentioned that to me . I wasn’t trying to make a pass at you . I just thought I’d have some company . Sorry ” he rubbed the back of his neck and looked away .
“ Well , if you know she’s engaged , then you should also know who her fiancé is , ” Blake spoke from behind Greg .
Greg jumped a little and turned around .
“ Mr. B , I didn’t see you there . No , actually , Mr. Cooper didn’t say who , just that she was engaged . Why ? is it someone famous ? ” He looked between Blake
and me .
“ That depends . What do you classify me as ? ” Blake walked over and wrapped one arm around my waist , pulling me close .
I rolled my eyes .
“ Umm , now I’m even more embarrassed . I’m so sorry , Mr. B. I really didn’t know . I swear I wasn’t trying to hit on her . Just being friendly . ” Greg loosened his tie and took a step back . There was a bit of redness on his cheeks .
