an ethical man, and
even if he weren’t in love with me anymore, he would still uphold
his vows. But he was madly in love with me. I knew I was the only
one in his thoughts.
But I couldn’t shake this feeling.
I usually looked past people’s flaws and
accepted them for who they were. I knew not everyone was innately
good. The world was filled with despicable people. My mother was a
good example of this. Usually, I could just let it go and move on.
But not this. I didn’t want Sean to be anywhere near this woman. I
had the unnatural need to claim him as mine, to tell her to step
off.
Without thinking, I grabbed my keys and
headed to his office. It was a little early for lunch, but maybe
he’d take an early break from that woman. Maybe I could stick
around and get some work done…
When I walked onto his floor, I looked
through the glass of his office and saw him talking to Aris. She
sat across from him, her legs crossed and her shoulders
straight.
Ugh. I wanted to knock her out.
I walked to his office and reached for the
door.
His assistant stood up. “Mrs. Preston, he’s
in a meeting.”
I didn’t give a shit. I opened it and walked
inside.
Sean flinched when he saw me. He couldn’t
process my appearance for a moment. After the shock passed, he
finally rose from his seat. “Baby—”
I sealed my lips against his, silencing him.
That whore got a great view.
Sean responded like he usually did, kissing
me back with gentle and loving caresses. Then he broke away, a huge
smile on his face. “What are you doing here?”
“Want to get lunch?”
He looked at his watch. “It’s only
eleven.”
“Oh. I must have lost track of time.”
He studied my face, still smiling. “I’ll be
done with Ms. Augustine in about an hour and then we can go.”
“Great.” I gave her a fake smile, my eyes
threatening her if she even thought about touching my husband.
She returned the look with a threatening one
of her own.
“You can wait in the lobby and I’ll join you
in a second,” Sean said.
“I think I’ll wait right here.” I walked to
the couch in the corner of his office then sat down, taking out my
computer.
Sean smiled while he watched me. After
staring at me for a moment, he adjusted his tie then sat down. “Now
where were we?”
“I want to see a prototype of the software
before I give you full access. I don’t want there to be a
possibility that someone could hack into it and steal it.”
“Of course,” he said.
They discussed the implementation of the
program, staying on topic the entire time. I listened to them while
I stared at my computer. I tried to pretend I was disinterested,
but I had my eye on that stupid whore.
“Well, shall we break for lunch?” she asked
in that stupid rich bitch accent.
“Yes. I’m going to take my wife out. I’ll
meet you in an hour.”
“Okay.” Judging the frown on her face, she
was disappointed she wasn’t invited.
Take that.
Sean came to me. “Hungry, baby?”
“Starving. But I’d rather eat you.”
He smirked. “I’m okay with that.”
I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed
him, waiting for Aris to leave his office. When I finally heard the
door closed, I ended the embrace, watching her walk away through
the glass.
Sean smirked at me. “Someone’s jealous…”
My head whipped back to him. “What? No. I
just like her dress…”
“Uh huh.” He kept smiling at me. “I was
waiting for you to scratch her eyes out.”
“I’m not jealous!”
“Then why did you come to my office at
eleven?” he asked incredulously. “You know I don’t take lunch until
half past twelve.”
“I told you I lost track of time.”
“Uh huh.” He nodded his head slowly. “I’m
sure… And you always tell me when you’re coming. Interesting how
you just dropped by.”
“What? I don’t have to tell you when I’m
coming.”
“I never said you did. I’m just pointing out
that your behavior is not in the norm.”
I would deny it

his vows. But he was madly in love with me. I knew I was the only
one in his thoughts.
