The Stranger Is My Husband

CHAPTER 16

CHAPTER 16

Is this what you call CONFUSION? I think I like Adam since the first day I saw him, but whenever I'm with Adam, I'm getting nervous and worst, there are time when I remember Zac all of a sudden. Like tonight, we were in the middle of a conversation then when Adam make a move or say a word, Zac's face will just pop up in my mind and I'll space out and that will make Adam upset.

On the other hand, I'm not sure if I like Zac more than a friend. But I'll not deny the fact that he has a special space in my heart. I admit, there are times that I'm thinking about in agreeing with the "wedding plan" because I know I'll marry a good man.

"Urgh! I'm so confused!" I said to myself. I let my self doze off. Luckily, I succeed.

===

It's been two days since that night. When Adam got annoyed with me. He didn't told me that his mad but I know.

Today, is another day to face. Last day of office day for this week. Ha! Can't wait for tomorrow's rest day.

I had so many work load today. I need to meet clients and make a business proposal.

It's already 1 in the afternoon but I'm still sitting on my office chair, facing my computer and not yet eating lunch.

"Jess, kindly buy be a salad? Thank you." I requested to my secretary over the phone.

"Sure ma'am." she answered in a sweet voice.

After a minute, I'm still working. Reviewing the previous sales and still waiting for my food when my cellphone ring. It's Zac. I answer it but didn't say 'hello' or anything.

"Hey." he said in a cheerful voice. I love hearing his voice but he pisses me off.

"Your salad is outside your room." what? how did he know? Is he here? But despite that I want to know the answer to my questions I still keep silent.

"What's the matter?" I heard his voice from the door. I was right, he's here. I ended the call and continued with whatever I'm doing.

He walks towards my table. He put down the salad above the table infront of green sofa across my working table. I can still see his moves because I'm looking at him under my lashes. But whenever he's looking at me I look away from him to my computer screen.

He sat on the sofa and open the salad container and started to eat. How dare he?

"What do you think your doing mister?" I said my arms cross on my chest and one brow raised. I'm now standing near him.

"I'm eating, miss." he said stressing out the word 'miss'.

"I know you're eating, but this is my office not a diner. So, if you'll just eat here, you can go now." I said with a stern look at him.

He chuckled, "Well, at least you're talking to me. Come, join me." he ordered me while patting the seat beside him.

"I'm not-

Oh, I wasn't able to finish my sentence when my stomach growled.

"Is that what you meant by, you're not hungry? Correct me if I'm wrong, I think that is the second time I heard your stomach speak for you." then he chuckled. How dare he? How ungentleman!

I just sarcastically smiled then I rolled my eyes and sit across him instead of sitting beside him. We eat in silence.

When he finished his food he sat on the table so his infront of me.

"What's wrong? What did I do?" he asked in serious face. I think, he really wants to know.

I clear my throat first, "You lied to me." I said plainly.

"What? I lied? Can you explain what you meant?" he asked, his forehead wrinkled. It seems like he didn't expected what I said. I nod.

"You were there, at home. When they were planning the wedding" I said still eating my salad.

"And, why is that a lie?"

"B-because, you didn't tell me," I said with a frown. Now, I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing, to tell him what I felt when I saw him there. "that you are one with them."

"Can you please enlighten me what you're trying to point out? 'Cause as far as I know, 'not telling' is different from 'lying' Kath" he ask in a low and serious tone.

"I-I thought you were with me in this, but-

"So, the reason why you are mad at me because I didn't tell you that I was there, planning things with them. When all this time you thought, I'm on your side," I nod looking down at my feet, my hands knotted. "Well, what you thought is right. I am with you. If you don't want this to happen then I'm with you on that. I just went there because I thought you were there."

"But why you stayed when you didn't saw me there? And it seems like you're having fun with arranging that wedding." I said in a low voice still looking down.

He sighed, "Look," he lowered his body and cupped my chin so I'm now looking at him "for the sake of your peace of mind, I'm your team mate here, okay? Trust me, I will not do anything against you, because... we are... f-friends. Yeah, we're friends, right? So, just forget about this." I nod and half smiled.

"S-sorry."
