Engaged To My Professor

Chapter 23

***GRACES POV***

I took a seat at the table but this time in the chair that Miss Andersons was once accompanying. Orlando looked at me confused but didn't say anything about it like I thought he would.

I picked up her still full glass of wine and took a sip from it being sure to leave a bit of a stain from my chapstick. Just then Orlando cleared his throat, "Where's Andrea?" He asked I leaned back in my chair and crossed one leg over the other "Mr. Garcia was it? You're a little too worried about My wife's whereabouts which is strange for a guest of mine" I said.

He smirked before sitting up straight in his seat "Your guest? I was unaware that you ran Saintclair industries" he said sarcastically "No, Not yet at least but I am it's future CEO which makes you just as much my guest as you are my grandfather and fathers" I said.

He looked shocked by this information, he looked across the table at my grandfather for confirmation who gave him a nod.

He then looked back over at me and I smirked. But he wasn't smiling anymore at all.

I guess he doesn't find me amusing anymore, Bummer.

A few seconds later Miss Andersons came walking back into the dining room. She took a seat in the open chair across from me and I slid her the cup of wine that was originally hers.

"Thanks" she said, I smiled in response, she raised an eyebrow at me but ignored me after a moment.

I watched as Orlando watched in irritation as she drunk from the cup I purposely drunk from
on the exact same side as well. He glanced over at me with a look that could kill if it had the ability to.

Eventually it started to get late and was time to leave. My father and grandfather both saw me, Miss Andersons and Orlando to the door as we were all leaving.

"It's was great talking with you all, my company will definitely be in touch I'm sure we'll do big things together" he said shaking my father and grandfathers hand. "Indeed we will" said my father. After they said their goodbyes so did me and Miss Andersons but mine was short and brief.

"Grandfather, father, I'm sure we'll see each other again soon" I said, they both gave me a nod, Miss Andersons then stepped up "Have a good night Mr. Saintclairs" she said they smiled "Yes you too, take care of grace" said my father "I will" she said before turning to leave, I followed making our way to the car that was parked up front but to our surprise Orlando was there waiting for us.

I instantly became annoyed when he approached Miss Anderson. "My sun and moon" he said with a smile one that may seem charming to others but only made me want to punch him in the face.

"Orlando I told you to stop calling me that" said Miss Anderson.

She seems softer with him than she is with everyone else. " I know I know but it's a hard habit to break its far from what I use to call you....my love" he said stepping closer to her and grabbing her hand again.

This dude.

I walked over directly in between them causing his hand to break from hers as I made my way to our car door before clearing my throat loudly again.

Orlando rolled his eyes before looking in my direction. "Grace was it?" He said " Miss Saintclair to you, Mr. Garcia" I replied correcting him.

"Ah yes my apologies, it seems like you have a bit of a throat issues, could it be an infection?" He asked faking concern for me.

"I'm fine just a little thirsty" I said "I have just the thing for that" he said before snapping his fingers, soon after a butler appeared and handed him a bottle of water with a label of his face on it. "My platform is known for providing some of the cleanest water all around the world to many countries in need" he explained before stepping over to me then handing me the bottle.

"A little parting gift if you will" he said. I glanced over at miss Anderson who was watching us, she already thinks I'm childish so I didn't want to decline his offer.

"Thanks I'm sure it will do me justice" I said with a fake smile in which he returned before patting my shoulder. "Ok we should get going now Orlando" said Miss Anderson stepping in. "You're right, I'll let you ladies go now" he said before opening the door then moving to the side so that Miss Anderson could get in the car.

She thanked him and he shut the door before turning to look at me his smile turning into a mean mug quickly.

"You may think you have her but you don't miss Saintclair" he said I frowned my eyebrows at him. "Oh? And why is that?" I asked stepping forward threateningly "Because I've known Andrea since she was in diapers and for all them years I've never known her to truly have relationships with women, at best your just her play thing in the end she'll always run back to a real man" he said with a smirk.

"And you think you're going to be the man she runs back to?" I said as I twisted my face in disgust.

"I don't think....I know so, because I truly love her and she knows it" he said with a serious look on her face.

"And what makes you believe she's not already in love?" I asked.

He chuckled "That's funny, Andrea is not the type to love so easily from what I've been told you've been her wife for practically all of two seconds, she's not that easy of a woman" he said

"Our little talk in my fathers office says otherwise" I said with a smirk, he instantly caught onto what I meant by that and his face twisted In anger.

I chuckled and walked around to the other side of the car. "See you at the next business meeting....Mr.Garcia" I said with a smirk before getting into the car.
