Fatal Affairs

Chapter Five

Taylor walked into Logan's office, she slammed the brown envelope in her hand on the table.

Logan raised a brow at her.

"The shipment paperwork and just so  you know, Eddie fled to Mexico" Taylor said.

Logan looked impressed for a moment as he reached for the documents and inspected it.
"I suppose I'll make a few calls to my friend in Mexico to teach Eddie a lesson"

"No" Taylor said immediately.
"Leave him out of this, you have what you want leave the poor guy alone"

Logan scoffs.
"Poor guy indeed, tell me Taylor, I know you well and you hardly develop soft spots for people so why are you protecting him?"

"I have my reasons" She folded her arms.

"Well, so tell me why you haven't been taking Luca's calls?" Logan asked.

Taylor chuckled.
"Tell me Logan, when did you suddenly get so interested in our relationship, I thought you told him that I'll just break his heart if he lets me in?"

"I was wrong" Logan replied.

"That doesn't matter anymore, we are done for good he was the one that made that decision, not me"

Logan furrowed his brows.
"What do you mean?"

"I think I'm done here Logan, Tell your sister I said hi" Taylor stood up.

Logan smirked.
"Now I get it, this is about Andrea"

Taylor scoffed and walked out.

""""""""""""""""

Iris let out a heavy breath as she knocked on the office door of Steve Pickett.

"Come in" Steve said, his voice sounding gruff as usual.

She pushed the door open, her heels clicking as she walked in.

Steve eyed her with a smile on his face, Iris forced out a smile.
"Good morning Mr Pickett"

"Oh Miss Chapman, just call me Steve"
Steve said.
"Have your seat" He added.

Iris sat.

Steve cleared his throat.
"So Miss Chapman, I gave it a lot of thought and I figured that, you will be my personal assistant for now"

Iris nodded.
"Fine by me"

Steve was glad with her reaction,
"Miss Kennedy will put you through what ever you need to know, just go and meet her at her desk now"

Iris smiled.
"Sure sir"

She stood up and walked out, she knows that being Steve's personal assistant means that she will be doing a lot of errands and will most likely run into Luca.

Iris smiled, he was so nice to her yesterday and she was just hoping not to bump into Andrea or the devilishly handsome stranger that intimidated her with his stares ever again.

Iris also hoped that Taylor and Luca are done for good, but at the back of her mind she knew that they looked good together and as much as she will hate to admit it, she admired Taylor, even if she only saw her once from a distance.

She could already guess what Taylor sounds like.

""""""""""""

Taylor opened the fashion magazine that was by her table, flipping through the pages.

She heard the sound of someone clear their throat and she looked up to see Andrea smirking at her.

Taylor sighed and closed the magazine.
"Who let you in?"

"That doesn't matter Taylor, I came here to congratulate you on the good job you have done by getting those shipment documents" Andrea said.

Taylor smiled.
"Thank you"

"That job was given to me by my brother and you went ahead, feeling too smart, trying to prove yourself to Logan, you got the job done"

Andrea sat on the chair opposite Taylor.

Taylor shook her head.
"I'm not having this conversation with you"

"Of course, but I know that you did it to save your lover" Andrea said.

Taylor frowned.
"What are you talking about?"

"I know that, Eddie is your lover, that is why you sent him away so that Logan would not punish him"
Andrea smirked at her.

Taylor scoffed.
"Just say you came here to talk about Luca, we are not together anymore at least you won't have to be bitter all the days of your life"

Andrea stood up looking upset but she quickly masked it.
"I'm sure of one thing, there is a reason why you are protecting Eddie"

Taylor laughed and stood up.
"Oh sweet Andrea, I thought you already know the reason, you just said he is my lover"

Taylor glared at her, taking slow steps as she walked towards Andrea until she was directly in front of her.

"I know what you are trying to do, even if I am not with Luca, I still have his heart and you want me to break it so that he can come into your comforting arms"

Andrea laughed.
"If I were you, I would stop making pathetic assumptions, but just know one thing Taylor, I am watching you"
Andrea stormed out of her office.

"Stupid bitch" Taylor muttered.

"""""""""""""""
"Do you have any more questions?" Faye asked.

Iris smiled at her.
"No, I'm okay for now, thank you for your help"

Faye nodded.
"I'll leave now, see you during lunch"

"Sure" Iris said and Faye turned to leave, Iris sighed as she watched her go.

She groaned as she stared at the files on her desk.

Today is going to be a really long day.
