A Reason to love Him

CHAPTER NINE

Today is the day I'm going to meet Mr Hudson's family. I didn't even sleep the previous day thinking about it.

I snapped out of my thoughts and got back to work.

"Bridgit", I heard a voice and turned towards the door and saw Troy.

"Oh hi Troy", I was surprised to see him.
He smiled at me.

He had a friendly personality

"I have nothing to do so I came by to have a little chat with you if that's ok", he said.

"It's ok with me", I said not wanting to reject his offer although I had a few things to complete.

He then sat in one of the chairs that were opposite me.

"So tell me about yourself", he said leaning forward on his elbows.

"Uhm... ah", I giggled not knowing what to say and he had a fixed gaze on me making me feel a little nervous.

"Ok.... my name is Bridgit Taylor and I'm twenty-two years old", I stupidly started off.

"I already know that", he said and I widened my eyes.

"How do you know about my age?" I asked placing the back of my hand on my chin.

"My brother... he somehow told me", he said.

"Who's your brother?" I was so confused at the moment.

"Sebastian", he replied.
I froze. I was not comprehending.

Troy is Mr Hudson's brother?

Meaning that Troy is going to be at the dinner. This was unbelievable.

"Uh-uhm... really?" I tried confirming.
Now the dots were connected. They have the same surnames.

Gosh. I should've known. How stupid and slow could I be.

"Yep", he said. "Why do you seem tense", he chuckled but I was lost in so many thoughts.

"You have no idea what your brother did to me", I mentally thought.

"Sorry, I just didn't... expect it", I said feeling a little anxious.

"I know, we have totally different personalities", he said and I was in total agreement with him.

I bet Troy has no idea that I was going to his family's dinner tonight.

"Yeah, I noticed", I said and his phone suddenly rang.

"I gotta take this, see you later", he said standing up.
"Of course", I assured him and he left.

I wonder what later he's talking about. Maybe he knows that I was going to attend the dinner.

I'd rather not think too much about it. So I got back to work.

.......

It was time to knock off.

Finally

I switched off my computer and grabbed my handbag. Just when I wanted to walk out I saw Mr Hudson standing at the door, looking at me.

My blood began to rush to my head.

"We should get going", he said and walked off.

I sighed in relief. I locked my office door and followed him.

Obviously Troy is going to be there and I was so nervous. And I had to play along which I still didn't understand.

I managed to catch up with Mr Hudson and we got into one of his expensive cars.
