Eventually Yours

~Brie~

“Can you think of what he might want?” Megan whispered to Cynthia.

She shook her head and looked at me.

“I don't understand why he won't ask me to do whatever it is he wants you to do, Brie. I'm his assistant.”

I shrugged.

“You girls just go ahead I'll finish whatever he wants me to do and come find you okay?”

They nodded and sandwiched me between them in a quick hug. I smiled and watched them walk away.

“Good, you stayed behind” Aiden walked out of his office and said to me.

I thread a hand through my hair, glancing out the big glass window to my right.

“Did you have to do that?” I asked, looking past my laptop.

“What?” he asked, looking at me.

“Earlier today. Did you have to embarrass Steven like that?” I asked.

He frowned.

“I embarrassed him?”

“Yes Aiden. You embarrassed him.”

He scoffed.

“I didn't embarrass him by pointing out the one thing everyone else can see from a mile away,” he said I'm a disapproving tone. “It's not a secret. Even you know he likes you.”

Likes me?! So that's what this is about?

I frowned at his childishness.

“So?”

He gave me a look.

“Excuse me?”

“So what, Aiden? So what if Steven likes me? With all due respect, Mr. Corleone, I'm an adult. I can speak for myself. So canceling my dinner plans with Steven wasn't your choice to make.”

He scoffed again.

“I know you're an adult, Breanna. Don't get upset. You did give him your number and your room number so you can screw each other any day. Just not when you're working for me, you understand that?”

What?!

I folded my arms as he packed his bag. It was five thirty in the evening and I wasn't going to let him ruin my night.

“Since you made sure I couldn't go to dinner with Steven,” I said, catching his attention. “Please tell me what I can do for you.”

He stared at me and then nodded once.

“If you want to go for that dinner so bad, leave” he spat out.

I furrowed my brows.

“What? I thought you said you wanted me to—”

“Get out” he snarled.

Excuse me?

“Aiden—”
