Hard to Resist

chapter 21

Asher Pov

Shit. This wasn't supposed to happen. I was going to tell her anyway but I was just waiting for the right time. I wanted to tell her truth but I couldn't. I now realize that I was developing feelings for her and I may have wanted to be with her. I drive home and I get inside and I go and get a drink. Why do things have to be this way?

I'm currently drunk and angry. Why did Cynthia have to agree and so agree so quickly. I never wanted to hurt Tessa but I wanted her to hear it from me. I take my whisky bottle and throw it into the fire. I would be destroying my house but I knew I would regret it afterwards. I go upstairs into my room and just sit in silence.

The Next Day.....
Ashers Pov

I walk into work next day ignoring everyone and everything except for my assistant. I went talked in meetings but other than that, I really didn't care to talk to people. I wanted to talk to Tessa but she told me I should leave her alone.

I hear a knock on my door. "Come in! I say heavy into my paperwork. Cynthia walks in. "Hey can we talk?" She says and sits down opposite me. "Look I'm really sorry things have to be this way, your grandpa was visiting Addison at the company and he saw me and we just started talking and I never thought he would say yes so quick." she says in a soft voice. "Then why did you take his offer?" I say looking up at her. "Like Nathan said, I needed help paying some student loan." she says and takes a folder out of her purse. "Now since we've handled that, let's cut to the chase." "I don't want to see you hanging out with Tessa anymore ever." her voices changes quick.
Well I guess the real Cynthia is coming out.
"What the hell?!" I say getting up. "You cannot come in here and tell me who I can and cannot hang out with." I say getting angry. "Oh Asher you can hang out with anybody really, except for Tessa and If I ever catch you hanging around her while we're in our contract, I will make your life a living hell I can promise you that." she says getting up to leave and closes the door.
What the fuck.
I'm so pissed right now.
She cannot come here and threaten me?
What am I going to do?
