Unethical

Chapter 26: Angry

My eyes widen at Rene's response. I think she's confusing things....or unless that is the reason why Harry didn't want me to do any talking! Oh my God, could he be capable of doing this? Use me as a lie to impress his friends or whatever he's doing. Did he really make Rene and Leo believe I'm his girlfriend? No! Oh God! I thought he truly was going to introduce me as his sister in law. He lied to me, and used me.

Looking over at the liar standing beside me, he's smiling over at the other two couples in this place. I swallow back a lump of my saliva, and act cool. I truly feel like clearing things up here, but I'd put Lottie's secret at risk if I speak....so what do I do? I don't think I get a choice, just go with the flow for Lottie and Liam's sake. They're the only thing holding me back from slapping the shit out of Harry for making them all believe I'm his girlfriend.

"Wow! Welcome...." A blonde, beautiful woman extends her small hand at me, and I think she waits for me to introduce myself.

Collecting myself from this shocking news, I shake my head a bit and shake her hand.

"Emma." Adding a smile, I play along with Harry's wicked and unexpected idea. Why is he doing this? I notice Harry from the end of my eye, smirking over at us.

"Emma, it's a pleasure to have you here at our home. Please also feel at home! My name is Francis and this is my girlfriend Jade." The blonde girl's boyfriend steps in front of us and greets me as well.

"Thank you." Shaking his hand, his smile grows wider.

"Please come on in lads! Everyone must be hungry." Francis extends his hand out for his girlfriend and leads her into the place.

Leo and Rene wait for Harry and I to walk before them. Harry's hand rests on the small of my back as he slightly pushes me to walk. I move forward and follow the other couple. It's taking me a lot to stay calm and not turn over and slap the shit out of Harry. The other couple that was here with Francis and Jade once we came, waits to introduce themselves until Harry and I step into the diner area where a beautiful, long table is decorated so detailed.

"Harry, mate...how are you?" The young, handsome man shakes his hand. The woman does the same before turning their attention to me and exchanging hellos.

"I'm Danna and this is my boyfriend Rob." The short haired woman, introduces herself and her boyfriend. It's funny how they all have to label themselves.

"Let's have a seat mates." Francis speaks as he stands beside his girlfriend at the other end of the table.

Rob leads Danna to sit as well. Harry puts his hand on my back again as a cue to do the same. Leo and Rene pick the seats beside us. Then everyone's seated! As I thought so, Francis happens to have a cook. The woman dressed in white steps into the diner and starts serving everyone.

I watch Harry from the corner of my eye and notice he's answering a text under the table. Oh God! The anger I feel towards him at the moment is unbelievable. How could he do this to me?

The men start doing majority of the speaking as we eat, and honestly I couldn't be more grateful. With all the anger building up inside me, I feel like if anyone asks something, I'll explode and embarrass Harry in front of all his friend. Which seems that they're very important to him. I notice Harry talks to Francis with the most respect and tries to impress him the most. He must be quite important to him. Unless...he's here for another reason.

"So Emma...how do you feel about Harry working with me now?" Francis speaks up, capturing my attention.

"Uhh...good. I don't really get involved into his work so I don't know much about it." Harry's hand comes to rest on my thigh. He pats me as to assure me how good I'm handling things. I roll my eyes on the low. Bringing my hand under the table, I push his hand off in a hard manner.
