Two Worlds Apart

Chapter 109

Eric's POV•

"We've finally closed the deal with Ford's Industry." Jeffrey flips through a file "and a meeting with Mr Ford has been scheduled for Tuesday and another meeting with the General Manager of Crystal on Wednesday afternoon"

I put my signature down on the last document, handing it over to Matthew "When's My Father's flight again?"

"8 am tomorrow"

I nod.

He closes the file "Is that all for today, Sir?"

I turn to him "Yes, Jeff." I look at my watch "it's past 8" then up at him "I'll take you home"

I push my chair backwards, standing to my feet

"T.. There's no need for that, Sir. I can always take a taxi"

I grab my phone and key, walking past him and towards the door

"I insist, it's not a problem"

Most definitely not a problem

~°~

I pull up outside Courtney's house, contemplating whether to go in or not

"Um, thank you for bringing me home, Mr Martinez" he unbuckles his seatbelt, opening the car door.

I unbuckle mine "Let me walk you to the door"

He gives me a strange look like I'm acting crazy.... maybe I am.

We got to the door and he knocks, the door being opened up by Sophia

"Oh, Mr Martinez" She raise her brows "Good evening"

I give a small smile "Good evening, Sophia....trust you're good?"

She smiles "Yes, I am, Thank you"

"Sophy, Can I borrow your....phone" Courtney walks out her bed room, coming to a stop as soon as she sees me outside the house.

"Um, What's happening?" She tilts her head a bit

"Oh um, Mr Martinez offered to drop me since we finished late today" Jeffrey walks into the house, leaving me outside.

Courtney takes slow steps towards the door. She had her in her denim shorts pocket, holding me in place with her gaze.

"Mr Martinez" she bows a bit, a playful smile on her face

A smirk forms on mine "Miss Jones"

"Thank you for dropping him off" she said

I give a slight shrug "Wasn't a problem. Can I....talk to you?"

I can't lie....that was my whole intention of coming here

"Um, sure. Please, come in"

"Uh.. Courtney" Sophia suddenly interrupts

Courtney turns to look at her and Sophia gives a slight head nod towards their room, trying to play it off so I wouldn't notice something was off.

"Alarm can go off any minute" she says with a nervous laughter, directing her gaze anywhere that wasn't at me.

Courtney seemd to have gotten her message and suddenly grabbed my hand, pulling me outside and closing the door.

"Sorry, we're working on something in there" she scratches her head nervously which made it evident that she was lying.

"It's alright" I give a slight smile, complete ignoring everything that just happened "How're you?"

"I'm great, and you?"
