Two Worlds Apart

Chapter 127

After such a 'successful' meeting.....kind of successful because of the deal.... everything comes to an end.

"I'll be expecting the building plan" Morgan says

"Not a problem, Miss Brandon" he adjusts his suit "the architectural department will get to it immediately" he assures her

A small smile forms on her face "I trust you" then she turns to me

"Shall we?"

Before I could speak, Eric cuts in "um... Miss Brandon, can I steal your designer away, please?"

She raises her hands in defeat "enjoy all you want, Lovebirds" she gives me a wink before heading out the office, leaving Eric and I alone.

He unbuttons his suit, seating on the left edge of his table while I stood at the other edge, our eyes locked with a small smile playing on his face.

He stretches his hand sideways towards me and I, without hesitation, take it, walking over to him.

"You're just too beautiful" he says with a smile, his tone calm and soothing.

A grin forms on mine as I bring one hand to his cheek, the hand with my gem of course, then the other resting on his shoulder.

"And you're just too handsome" I feel both his hand wrap round my waist as he pulls me in gently.

I lower my face a bit, closing the space between us and resting my lips on his.

We break away slowly, a small smile lingering on his face as that usual soft look settles in his eyes.

"Ready to work together, Mrs Martinez?" He asks

I let out a slight chuckle. I'm excited and scared about that title at the same time.

"We're sure as hell not concentrating on the site and in meetings"

He shrugs slightly, his arms still around my waist "You're My Wife, you don't expect me to"

"Eric, wife to be" I point out with a small grin

"Wife" he emphasizes "that's all I know"

Our conversation suddenly gets interrupted by his phone buzzing. He picks it up and reads the text that comes in.

His expression immediately goes from soft to blank, a slight vein throbbing on his temple.

I place a hand on his shoulder, worry clear on my face "Eric, what's wrong?"

He click his phone button, turning of the screen.

"We have to go see My parents, now."

~°~

I feel goosebumps on my hands as my eyes are fixed on the Martinez Mansion. I take in a deep breath, multiple ideas of what might happen in there running through my mind.

I suddenly feel Eric's fingers intertwining with mine.

"We'll be fine, alright?"

I nod with a smile before we make our way in.

The housekeeper leads us to the living room where Eric's Dad is seated with Barbara....

Straight to the point I guess.

A small smile forms on his face as he see us.

"Hi, Dad" Eric walks over, greeting him with a handshake.

"Lovely you guys could make it. Please, have a seat" he gestures

Eric and I take a seat as this unsettling silence takes over.
