THE BILLIONARE'S EX-WIFE

CHAPTER FOUR

-UNKNOWN P.O.V-

‘The papers flew towards my direction, I quickly ducked and they flew over my head, “who wrote that report?” the angry voice followed, his eyes trailed to the people sited in front of him, all of them kept quiet, shivering to the core, “speak” he yelled at them but still they were too scared. It was time to make my presence known even though I was panicking inside, I started walking towards the big boss’ table, with the quiet atmosphere that you could hear a needle drop my heels were very loud, he looked up, our eyes met for a second then he adjourned the meeting, as everyone of them scurried off, the tension seemed to leave his body. We were quiet for a little while then he broke the ice, “what brought you here?”, I could only meekly look and search for an excuse, 'since I had no work to do, lunch with my husband' came to mind but I wouldn't dare. “I thought we could do lunch together” was all I could say that too trying to sound confident, he just looked at me as if he wanted to catch me in my words.’

I jolted up from my dream, his stare almost felt real, I looked over at my phone and the time was already 6am, though I wake up in 30 minutes I thought why not start early. Making breakfast is not really a lot since it’s just me but sometimes Adam comes around and finishes my food, not that I’m complaining, I got done with my daily routine and headed to the nursery room and my baby boy was just waking up, “good morning” I say smiling at him and, he smiled back “good morning mama” he said almost fluently, I picked him up ready to go bath him.

Our days are always quite the same, I drop him off at day care and head to the office for my job, I enjoy the little minimalist life that I have here.

-ALEXANDER’ P.O.V-

“Sir the Jefferson’s would like to move the date to the meeting closer” the assistant looks at me, and I gesture my hands to let him continue, “oh yes” he continues “your schedule so far is as good to go, next week would do just good” he says and we confirm my calendar one more time with him.

‘I might as well take a break before heading to the meeting or it might happen after’ I think to myself, a cup of coffee in hand and enjoying the view of the busy city down below, lost in thought I feel a hand on my shoulder and with high speed I turn around only to see the most annoying face of Lisa grinning up at me, “I’m sorry, did I startle you?” she asked walking around the table to take a sit in the visitor’s chair, “you couldn’t knock?” I ask raising an eyebrow at her, she looks me straight in the eyes but soon can’t keep the gaze, “I did knock” she says accusingly. “why are you here?” I don’t want to keep going back and forth with her, and her constantly coming here will give people the wrong idea, people are very quick to speculate and come to their own conclusion even without knowing the facts and that is a lesson I learnt late, “so what do you say?” Lisa asks looking expectedly at me, “about what?” I ask back because I’m not about to get in a promise with her, “dinner” she simply just states. I just know this is one of her ploys, the moment I say yes I’ll be met by a couple of journalists out in front of the restaurant, “I can’t” I say opening the laptop in front of me closing off the topic and actually telling her that it’s time to get going but she still just sat there with her boobs stretched out in front of her almost spilling out of her barely covering dress. I just dead stare at her and after a couple of minutes realization hits her, “oh...I’ll leave for now” she gets up and head for the door, she hesitates before looking back at me but my head is deep in concentration, she then leaves

-LISA’S P.O.V-

Walking out of that office yet again with my makeup looking perfectly fine, ‘what a fail’ I thought to myself. This has been happening quite often now, whenever I meet Alex it’s always a short conversation with him blacking out then just throwing me out of his place and that is not going according to the plan, before this I had to fight off his wife, then sister-in-law but when will it be y turn. The ‘trap hi with a baby’ plan didn’t quite work out as well. “Argh” I say frustrated, pulling on my hair as I head to the cab that was waiting by the parking area. All I could do is just dream about the luxurious life I’d live if I was to be Mrs Anderson, all the trips and designer bags as well as clothes and I wouldn’t have to lift my finger to do anything ever again. My phone rings pulling me from my beautiful thoughts, “let’s meet” a woman’s voice says as soon as I pick up and I roll my eyes knowingly there will be trouble again, “please head to Taste Conner” I told the driver and he turned the car heading for the restaurant.

I walk into the restaurant and there, in a hot little number, my crime in partner sits, the waitress walks towards me but I kindly dismiss her as I head over to the little devil’s table, she gets up and welcomes me, even though I don’t like her I pretend to be happy that I am in the same place with her and honestly she’s always such a good pawn in all my games. We order some food and she’s yet to tell me the reason she asked for me, after eating she looks me in the eyes and says “we have to find Alexander’s wife....”
