Jared's pov
I think I'm going insane. Yesterday I couldn't sleep at all, even sleeping pills didn't help me. I consumed I don't know how many but still I was wide awake.
And as if my own problems weren't enough, right now I had to witness the cause of my sleepless night kissing another man.
"Bruce, can you look into-"
"The man that was with Allysa?" He finished. I was dumbfounded
"How did you know I was gonna say that?" I asked
"Because, I always look into every man that breath the same air as her" he replied typing on his phone
Am I that obvious? I thought
"Name, Jordan Lightwood. Age 30, stays and works in England. And is he Allysa's boyfriend? She is all over his social media"
"So he is Jordan, huh" I said feeling daggers on my chest
"You know him?" Bruce asked
I glared at him and he knew that he is talking too much, he bowed his head before leaving my office.
As he walk past the door, I heard him greeting Allysa who was also at the door coming to my office.
"Good morning sir" she said with a huge smile on her face
Sir? For real?
"Um- are you okay?" I asked her
"I'm more that okay" she said still smiling.
Why do I feel like I'm being punished? Her smile is creepy and not to mention her setting boundaries all of a sudden. She was the one who said that I'm Jared to her, so why sir?
"Vans Donovan is here" she said
"Okay, show him to the meeting room" I replied
She nod and walk out of the office.
Few minutes later we were all seating in the meeting room with Vans Donovan.
"You know Mr Parker, those furniture are very nice but for that amount of money, I don't know if we could be able to take them" Vans said
"But the quality of those furniture is very good" I said
"Yes and besides, you will never get such good furniture with that offer" Allysa added
Vans turned to look at Allysa up and down with his creepy smile and then he said
"You know what, I could take them with that price only if I get something else as a bonus"
I looked down the table and saw his hand running through allysa's thigh. My eyes darkened at the sight and then Allysa looked at me with her doe eyes. It was like we were communicating through our eyes before she stood up and went to close the door. This room was sound proof.
"Do we have a deal?" Vans asked stretching his hand for me to shake it and oh, I took it. Not to shake it, but I twisted it hard. He screamed but no one was going to hear him.
"We will have a deal once you learn to keep your hands for yourself" I said angrily
"Aahhh...you're gonna pay for this" he screamed and I twist him harder
"Or should I break it?" I asked Allysa
"No no no pleasee..forgive me. Miss Allysa I'm sorry" he said and Allysa walk towards him. I let go of his hand and allow him to face her
"I will forgive you but not after I do this.." a hard slap echoed around the room and Vans was clutching his cheek "next time, keep your filthy hands off me. Oh, I forgot, there won't be a next time cause we will never sell our furniture to a good for nothing like you"
"What? You're not the boss" he said
"You heard her. You're not allowed to come here again" I said
"Just wait, I will sue the two of you for assault"
"Then we will do the same" i said
"Hah...sue me for what? You don't have evidence" he said
"So, do you?" Allysa asked with a smirk and the guy stuttered not knowing what to say.
Allysa walked at the door and opened it wide for him to leave and that is what he did, leaving the two of us here.
I looked at Allysa up and down, she was wearing a navy blue two piece suit. The skirt was very short above her knees.
"Don't wear that again" I pointed at her skirt
"What? What's wrong with it?" She asked looking at herself
"What's wrong with it? It's too short. That is why Vans felt the need to touch you" I shouted
"He is just a pervet, my skirt is pretty much fine" she shouted back
"I don't like it" I shouted
"That is your business, these are the clothes I always wear. And don't shout at me your not my dad"
"I was your dad few minutes ago when you were harrased" I shouted and we all stayed silent
"I don't have any long skirts" she said calmly
I didn't answer her, instead I pick up my phone and call the ladies boutique.
"Hello Cathy, please deliver seven pieces of suits, different colours, medium size and they should be trousers"
"Jared-" Allysa started
"Your welcome " I gave her an assuring smile before leaving the room
Cool, aren't I?
The day went by, Allysa got her set of suits and she came to say thank you after minutes of arguing that she would pay me back.
Honey, I bought them for you. I wanted to.
My day was just fine, I was happy seeing her happy looking at the clothes I bought for her. But my happiness was cut short when that Jordan called.
Allysa was so excited to talk to him, my heart couldn't take that. I didn't want her to laugh with other men. Her laugh is mine.
Since working hours were over, Allysa left early, she looked like she was going somewhere. And I was left in the office alone.
My phone rang and it was a new number
"Hey handsome" a woman voice echoed
"Who are you?" I asked
"Its Corra, remember me?"
"What do you want?"
"Your grandpa made reservation for us tonight. I thought you knew"
Damnit grandpa. I'm not in the mood for dating right now
"Are you there?" She asked
"Yes, send me the address. I'll be there" I said before disconnecting the call
I sighed leaning on my chair.
Well, maybe this will be a good distraction.
Tbc
Haha..Vans now knows not to mess with these two.
Okay guys, see you on Monday 🥰🥰🥰
