Fatal Affairs

Chapter Thirty-two

Iris took a light sip of her coffee, she was in a coffee shop, she comes here every morning before work hours.

Iris looked around, she could count just three people with her eyes.

She sighs when her eyes lands on the third person.
"Just great" She mutters to herself.

It's been two weeks since the Mr Darcy incident and the brown haired  guy that saw her with the drive has been coming to this coffee shop ever since.

Every time he turns to nod at her, Iris scowls at him, she has always been tempted to confront him but she resisted.

Asides that she hasn't seen Logan ever since the night they spent together, she heard Daphne say that he was in New Zealand.

Iris has been avoiding Andrea for the past two weeks. She really hoped Andrea forgot about her rudeness in the elevator.

Iris glanced at her phone, Sheri just texted her that she was around.

Parker got Sheri a car last week and Sheri has been her ride ever since.

Iris paid for the coffee and left.

It was drizzling lightly.

She opened the car door and got in.

Sheri looked outside through the window.
"He came today again?"

"Yeah"

Sheri was referring to the brown haired guy.
"I told you to confront him"

"No, I won't"

Sheri started the car and drove away.
"Whatever, so you have a new plan?"

Iris groans.
"I can't come up with anything, and I can't tell Ariel about my situation because i didn't follow his plan."

"You are right, it's your mess, but come on I get why you did it, I mean Logan is a catch, damn"

"Sometimes I act like I'm brain dead, Logan is supposed to be a forbidden fruit."

"So he hasn't called or sent a text?"

Iris scoffs.
"I doubt if he even remembers me, and I don't think I have a chance with Luca anymore, he might know about me and Logan"

"You still have to tell Ariel all this someday" 

Iris rubs her temples and shut her eyes tightly.
"I really don't want to, he will literally kill me"

"You will be fine" Sheri says.

""""""""""""""""""""""
Andrea glared at Taylor as Taylor made herself comfortable in her office chair.

"What are you doing in my office?"
Andrea asked through gritted teeth.

"We have a meeting obviously" Taylor replies opening a folder.

"I have a meeting with Aspen not you"

Taylor looked up from the folder.
"Well, I'm representing Aspen"

Andrea scoffs.
"What! Aspen is in his office why does he have to send you?"

Taylor sighs.
"He doesn't want to deal with having to see your face, so he sent me"

Andrea gave Taylor the stink eye.
"Well, I don't want to deal with having to look at you, so get the fvck out of my office"

Andrea gestured towards the door.

Taylor chuckles.
"You are always so feral"

Andrea laughs wryly
"Like you are any better".

Taylor stood up and sneered at her.
"I get it, Luca isn't speaking to you, you are on the edge"

"Delusional creature"
Andrea eyed her before walking out of her office.

"I don't want to see your face when I get back" Andrea said to Taylor on her way out.

Andrea went to Aspen's office with a scowl on her face.

She barged in with out knocking, his secretary knew better than to stop her from entering.

Aspen looked up from his tablet. He smiled when he saw her.
"Hey beautiful"

Andrea scoffs.
"Some people stole our shipment and I was assigned to find out the people behind that and you offered to help"

Andrea did air quotes with her fingers when she said offered.

Aspen chuckles lightly, he stood up and walked towards her.

"Why did you send Taylor to my office you know we can't stand each other"

Aspen gestured towards the sofa.
"Have a seat, Andrea"

"Wow, He actually knows my name" Andrea deadpans.

"And here I was, thinking you enjoy hearing all the sweet names I call you" Aspen replied.

Andrea scoffs as she sat on the sofa..

Aspen also sat down.
"Ever since the night we spent together you've been ignoring me"

"Point of correction, I was drunk and you took me to your house and laid me down on your bed so I will get a huge fright the next morning, stop saying it like something happened between us"  Andrea rolled her eyes.

"Some thing did happen between us, I watched you sleep, come to think of it you looked so much better than when you are awake and there is a scowl on your face" Aspen smirked at her.

"I don't scowl and watching me sleep sounds creepy as fuck" 

Aspen traced her hairline lightly with his fingers.
"I won't argue with you, mi amore"

Andrea pushed his hand away before glaring at him.

Aspen chuckles at her actions.
"So, fill me in"

"Seriously?"

Aspen nodded.

"So why did you send Taylor in the first place?"

"Because I wanted you to come to my office"

"You are an ass" Andrea scoffs.
