Stuck With You

I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!!

Melissa's POV:

"have you prepared everything we need for the meeting?" Adrian questions, and I nod my head.

"yes, I'll go ahead." I tell him as I shoot Frank a short glance.

Today, Adrian is having a meeting with his parents and Trina's parents.

I still don't get it why Adrian doesn't want anything to do with his parents and I can clearly see that there's no bond between them.

They had to plead with him for my boss to approve of this meeting.

...

When I step out of the elevator, I walk straight to the conference room where I find everyone waiting for Adrian.

"good afternoon." I greet them and only Trina's dad and Adrian's dad acknowledges me with a smile and a nod.

This is really going to be awkward. These two women don't like me and I don't like them either.

"Melissa right?" Mr Dawns asks.

"yes." I answer.

"do you mind getting me some wine before the meeting begins?"

What?

"no, I don't mind at all." I force a smile as I walk out of the conference room.

...

"did he come here to have wine or what?" I say to myself as I open the door to the conference room.

I close the door behind me and before I realize it, I bump into Mr Dawns, spilling the wine on his white shirt.

Oh no.

My eyes widens, rubbing my hands on his shirt, "I'm so sorry.."

"are you blind?!" he yells.

"I'm truly sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"she did that on purpose honey, just to embarrass you." his wife walks toward him, placing her hand on his shoulder.

"this girl is just like her mother. So stupid." Trina's mom comments and my blood boils.

"my mother has nothing to do with this Mrs Hidalgo." I defend my mother and she laughs.

"so now you're blaming my husband for your mistake?" Mrs Dawns questions, glaring at me.

"I.." I am being cut by Adrian as he opens the door. He walks in with Frank behind him.

"what's going on here?" he questions, staring into my eyes.

"why don't you ask your good for nothing secretary?" his mother answers and I keep my eyes on the ground.

"she spilled wine on my shirt and now she's blaming me for her mistakes."

What?

"wine?" Adrian's tone is serious and his expression dead cold.

"yes! Do you know how expensive this shirt is?" his Mother barks and I swallow.

"did you come here for work or to drink?" Adrian asks his father. "and I know Melissa can never do what you're accusing her of."

I let out a sigh of relief after hearing my boss' words. I shouldn't be smiling right now but I can't help it.

"I only wanted to take a sip before the meeting and she ruined everything! She is so stupid, you should fire her right away!"

"one more word about her and I'm going to cancel this meeting, and I will never invest in your friend's company." Adrian tells his father and I can tell that he is now angry.
