My Best Friend’s Father Wants me novel Chapter 27

Enora:

I continued to stare at the paper, or rather, papers in disbelief. My fury flamed and my eyes burned into Mr. Wright’s.

“What is all this? Why?”

“I returned the things you bought. After last night, I felt that it would solve the problem. I…I didn’t want to see them anymore.”

I scowled and placed the return receipt on his desk.

“I can also see that you have given me a formal invitation to come to a gala with you this weekend. How thoughtful.”

My eyes rolled in their sockets and I slammed the invitation on the table. My eyes burned but he was looking at me calmly. I hated it.

“I don’t understand what this is supposed to be.”

“It is a way to make up for last night,” he said mechanically.

“And returning the items I bought and inviting me to some stupid part is a way to make up for fucking me so hard?”

I had never felt this angry before and I never imagined that I would be furious at this Adonis in front of me.

“Enora, if you had just spoken up, none of this would have happened.”

A dry sarcastic chuckle erupted from my mouth and he raised an eyebrow.

“So we still agree that it is all my fault and because it is my fault, you want to ‘make up’ with a return receipt and a lousy dinner party. Wow. You really know how to show a girl a great time. Thank you.”

He frowned.

“I also asked the finance department to give you a raise.”

“I guess I am the luckiest girl in the world.”

My eyes did another cartwheel and my lips turned lopsided.

“I do not appreciate your tone, Miss Lopez.”

“Oh, no longer Enora. Well, forgive my tone Mr. Wright but I don’t appreciate your little ‘apology’.”

In a fit of rage, I grabbed the return receipt and shredded it, letting the bits rain on the table. The invitation wasn’t spared either and it was soon it was lying in the bin with the other discarded documents.

“Miss Lopez…”

“Mr. Wright, the stuff I bought wasn’t the problem. I didn’t mind them. In fact, I loved dressing up as the little kitty, and guess what, I loved that I got to show it to you. The problem is you and the fact that you keep trying to shift the blame to me. And the insulting part…”

Tears choked my words. My heart wrenched and I took a moment to gather my words while he simply sat and stared at me.

“...the insulting part is that you think all of this makes it better. It doesn’t. I hate you. Never touch me again. Stay away from me. From now on, I will be your assistant. No strings, no kinks. Just to work and pay off my bills.”

I grabbed my purse and got out of my seat.

“And I don’t need your raise.”

“Enora…”

I stormed to the door and twisted the knob.

“Enora, if you leave. You are fired.”

I paused; the room was silent.

“Then I guess that you are going to have to fire me. I’ll pack my things from the penthouse and move out. It has been a pleasure working with you.”
