Chapter 14

Leora

"Do you think this is a joke" I glare at the man in front of me and if eyes could kill,he would have been long gone.

"I gave you 48hours to return my money in full and your wife called me,begging to give you a week,which I did. A week has passed and you are still giving me fucking excuses"

"M-Miss. Kohen I-"

"Oh please save your excuses Mr. Chase" I cut him off immediately not wanting to be all the more pissed.

Londyn and I were going to London today to see my parents and I really did not want to be in a foul mood.

"Plus why are you suddenly stuttering" I ask,and I could not help the smirk that came on my face.

"I mean you were perfectly comfortable talking back to me in my office the other day,and you were definitely comfortable when you were trying to sneak out of the country with my money"

"Now I give you till Monday to get my money or else I will take any of your properties to make up for it"

" W-What, Miss. Kohen you cant do that.It's against the law" The foolish man all but yells and I just chuckle.

"It was not against the law when you where inflating reports and stealing company goods to sell for yourself right?"

"Next time read a contract before you sign it" He was just about to protest when my phone rings.

"Now get the fuck out of my office" I lean into my chair and turn to the side closing my eyes as I pick up my phone,not even checking the caller.

"Yes" I answer a little too rudely than I intended.

"Oh,feisty arent we?" The person on the other side chuckles. Ashton.

Shit.

"I am so sorry. Not just having the best of mornings right now" I sigh placing my hand on my head.

"I can understand, care to share?"

Now I did not want to 'share' but my mouth just started  working and before I could get a hold of myself, I had told him everything.

What is wrong with me?

" Wow. But he has raised half of the money at least,why dont you let him go knowing he cannot raise the rest".

"Typically I would have,expeccially after his wife calling me and the fact he actually raised half.But the fact he said why could he not have a share of MY money. My blood sweat and tears.Like I just woke up every money to see millions in my account got me fucking pissed. So he is not going to get off the hook any time soon" I found myself saying.

"I get it, that was so wrong for him to say. I mean your dont work your ass off everyday for someone to get on a platter...and through fraudulent means for that matter"

"Exactly" I rejoin and sigh.

"Anyways dont let it bug you. You are going to see your parents today so you should be happy" He tries to cheer me up and I just smile.

"Plus you've got him in a really tight spot there,with the contract thing so either way you are going get your money back" He assures.

"Thanks, but I am not sure you called me this morning for daily affirmations so what's up?" I joke  and he chuckles over the phone.

"Yeah I did not. I actually called you concerning the wedding" He says and I freeze.

Did he want to call it off or what?

I mean part of me already would be glad if he did but I knew he would not reluctantly back off.

That is why I did not even bother protesting and with the court case looming over my head...
