Chapter 12

Scarlet P.O.V:

I wonder why did he defend me in the first place he always insults me every time he got the chance to do so. Did he regret what he used to do? Maybe just trying to be good as he is Ethans friend? But didnt he threaten to kill me not caring that I am his friends sister?

"Earth to Scar." Alex said while waving her hand in front of me that made blink several time.

"Huhh?"

"I have been talking to you for half an hour you seemed to zone off." she said. I don't remember when did she came back from work and sat next to me on the couch.

"Here you are zoning off again." she sighed

"Sorry Lexy but work really stress me off that made me think about it a lot." I lied under my teeth.

"Yeah, Yeah Adam seemed to give you a very hard time." She teased me rising an eye brow knowing that I was lying.

"Yeah he seriously stress me." I sighed.

"You know that you aren't telling me the whole truth." She sighed waiting for me.

"Actually Alex he is doing things that made me confused." I said looking at my hands.

"Like what?" She raised her eyebrow.

"One minute he looked like he cares and the other he looked like he want to bury me six feet underground." She frowned in confusion.

"What did he do to say that?"

"One day we had a meeting with some of his shareholders that named Jonas Black. Jonas was so gentle with me even when the waitress pretended that the glass of water slipped from her hand. He came to the bathroom giving me his jacket to cover myself up but instead Adam kept insulting me and accused me of flirtation and being gold digger, whore and bitch."

"That asshole what's wrong with him?"

"I really dont know." I shrugged

"Why do you call Mr. Black by his first name? she asked while teasing me." I blushed so hard.

"Oh what happened to blush like that?" she kept teasing me I blushed harder but then I remembered what happened in the office with Adam which made frown.

"I actually he got my number the day after the meeting and asked me to hang out with him at night but while we were texting Adam pulled my phone from my hand and read the chat between him and I which caused Adam to insult me again and accused me for not paying attention to my job."

"He really has to man up. So what happened to the date with Jonas?"

"Actually I worked over time and forgot to text him back and I feel guilty to apologize."

"What the hell you kept him waiting for you? she scolded me." I nodded.

"What the hell! text back the gentle man right now." She ordered me grabbing my phone passing it to me.

"What should I say to him in the first place?" I looked at my hand.

"Apologise" she said in duh tone.

"Scar, Jonas is a really gentleman and if he really doesn't care about you he won't ask you for a date in the first place." She said in a caring tone.

"Okay I will call him instead of texting him." I said getting up walking to my room. I dialed his number waiting for him to answer but he didnt. I called him again it kept ringing I thought he wont answer my phone call at the last ring he answered. There was silence for a minute.

"Mmm....Hey?"I asked

"Hi" He seemed to be annoyed.

"How are you doing?" I asked trying not to be awkward.

"Fine." Giving me an attitude by not asking back.

"Good" I sighed. I didn't talk for couple of minutes.

"so_" i was cut off by him.

"What do you want Scarlet I don't have all the night." He asked with furious tone.

"Actually I am sorry for that night. I went silent for a few seconds then continued." I started pacing in the room.

"I didn't mean to ditch you. I got worked up I swear_" But he cut me off again.

"What happened has happened so your apology won't erase the humiliation I felt that night."

"I swear to god I didnt mean to humiliate you at all. I had to work over that or I will be fired and I needed this job so badly. Mr. Valentino gave me a hard time when he saw our conversation and made me work over time or I will be fired." I explained myself Jonas was silent for what seemed two minutes I only hear his breath through the phone which made me not to think he closed the line on me.

"I am really sorry. I would like to make it up to you. So what about hanging out next weekend?"

"Okay let me see my schedule and text you back."

"Are you still angry at me?" I asked with worried tone.

"No Scarlet I am not. I should apologize for being angry without hearing your explanation." He sighed with sorrow.

"NO, you don't have to apologize. I was the one who didnt text you back."

"Okay enough with that. Just promise that you will come next weekend."

"I promise." I beamed knowing that he wasnt angry at me.

"Okay I will text you back. Later?"

"Later." I closed the line.
