Chapter Fourteen
520 Words
After hours of pleading, I finally convinced Autumn to watch Romeo while I go to work.
Lana wants me to do a bit more digging on Jesse. I want to ask why she is so set on him, but I know she won't tell me. I look up his records but to my surprise, nothing shows up. He appears to be crystal clear.
I furrow my eyebrows and search Lana instead. A bunch of information about her being Mayor pops up, but of course, I'm not interested in that.
However, the words Lana Marks catches my eye.
"This b***h," I mumble.
I start reading the file and discover that the two of them were married for two years. They divorced after Lana suffered a miscarriage, and Jesse blamed her. That's really f****d up!
But why didn't this come up when I searched Jesse's name?
I go back to his file and find an encryption.
Suddenly I hear a knock on the door, which causes me to jump and close my laptop.
"N-Normani, I didn't see you there," I chuckle.
"I know, I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you," she giggles.
"If you are um, looking for Lana, she just stepped out," I say.
"Well it's a good thing I'm not looking for her then", she smirks.
Taking in her appearance, my mouth starts to water, as she slowly unbuttons her all-black trench coat.
She starts walking towards me seductively, he red bottom heels tapping against the office tiles.
"Holy f**k," I gasp.
Instinctively I stand up and grab her waist.
"Mani, I don't do, do over's", I whisper.
"Well then don't think of it as a do-over," she husks before pushing me back down into my chair.
My eyes trail down her milky skin before a certain Cuban catches my attention.
"I-im sorry," she stutters and runs out of my office.
I pull away from Normani and quickly run after her, ignoring Normani calling after me.
"CAMILA WAIT," I call out.
She hesitantly turns around, allowing me to see her bright red and tear-stained cheeks.
"I'm sorry, let's just forget about this o-okay," she mumbles.
I open my mouth to speak but can't find the words so I just nod.
"Wait, is everything okay", I ask.
"What do you mean," she asks.
"Is there a reason you stopped by", I say.
"Oh um, my family wanted to know if you were free to have dinner with us tonight, as a way to thank you for finding Sofia", she mumbles.
"Would you be okay with that," I ask hesitantly.
"Well, it's the polite thing to do," she smiles sadly.
I nod awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, I really have go", she says and runs off before I can reply.
The f**k just happened?!?!
I shake my head and walk back up to a newly clothed Normani who is glaring at me.
"What? Just a quick f**k right," I say harsher than I mean to.
"Yeah, just a quick f**k," she says sadly before walking out of my office.
I DONT GET WOMEN, I groan and hit my head on my desk.
