His Sweetness

Chapter 20

Carter
It's been a few days since me and Isabel made up and are back on track.

I promised her that i would contact Ryder, and today is the day i start on that promise.

Well the only thing i need to do, is get the courage to actually go see her. But to be honest im scared. Scared she won't forgive me. When i gave her up, i fully believed that it was the best decision.

And to some extent i still do. But seeing how this choice affected Isabel i'm regretting it.

Rain deserves to know her siblings, and i should've never allowed myself, and my parents to take that away from her.

If i'm being honest im not to sure why my parents are so against me seeing Ryder and telling her the truth.

She says it's because of the company being at risk, but i think it's bullshit. I think there's more to the story that they don't want me to know.

But i'd never get the truth from my parents, so i'm not even gonna waste my time asking.

I don't need my parent's permission, she's my daughter.

"Mr. King your fiancée is on her way up". My assistant says through the intercom.

Why is Isabel here?

"Hi". She says walking through my office door.

"Hi. What are you doing here". If she needed something she'd usually just call me, you know instead of coming all the way here.

Especially when she has a company of her own to run.

"Well i know today you're going to see Ryder after work, and i know you always leave at this time".

"And your point to this is what exactly". I say closing my laptop to focus on her.

"I'm coming with". This isn't what we agreed on. We agreed i do this my way. And she was perfectly happy with that when i explained it to her. So im confused with the sudden change of heart.

"I said we do this my way Isabel, and you agreed. I didn't invite you. This isn't a fun family roadtrip. This is serious business, and i don't have time for the games". I get up and grab my phone and keys.

I then walk over to her kissing her on the lips.

"Go home". I walk out my office and head to the elevator.

I don't know why she thinks i'd let her come. I don't even know what i'm walking into, and i can't risk it with her being with me.

I'm already nervous and having to worry about her is something i don't need.

Isabel
No!

He told me no.

I couldn't believe it. Like why would he not want some moral support. This is a big deal and he shouldn't have to do it alone. Not when i'm here for him.

So he might think i'm going home, but i'm really not.

I'm following him.

I have his location just in case i loose him, he drives much faster than me, but i'm sure i can stay caught up with him.

As im driving Dakota calls me.

"Hello".

"So did he say yes". She asks, knowing what my plan was if he didn't.

"Of course not, so i'm still following him. I don't know why he doesn't want my support".

"He probably just doesn't want you to be jealous, you know he's gonna see his ex for the first time in 11 years. Plus he's probably nervous and doesn't want you to be as well".
