FALLING FOR THE MARRIED BILLIONAIRE.

CANCEL YAKIZI.

(PIERCE'S POV)

Pierce wasn't certain if he should be surprised or concerned. The fact that Caitlyn had gone overboard and acquainted herself with the recent happenings in the business, didn't sit well with him.

All the more reason he wanted nothing to do with her idea, he wanted nothing of it. Pierce wanted her out of his work angle, that was all he got to himself. That was the only space he could dwell and delve in his aloneness.

After what went down after he allowed Caitlyn into his business quarters, he didn't want to explore that chapter again. A reporter from Dingos had met her fiancee in a private dinner with another woman, and things spiralled out of control.

Company materials were destroyed, a huge scene was caused, which of course, was recorded on camera. The police had to be involved in order to diffuse the hectic scene.

The tabloids digested the issue for weeks, the media was on the case. It took him a while to recover from the effect of what brewed. That was not the only reason for his resistance with Caitlyn's new idea, but it was one of them.

" Of course I know about project cape, I have to, in order to be of assistance. " Caitlyn continued.

" Cait, if I need you, I'll humbly ask, I don't for now. "

" Yakizi is every business dream showcase, why are you letting this slip away? "

" I don't want reporters in there, and that's final. " He also didn't want his wife using Yakizi as an excuse to be present at work.

Caitlyn adjusted her neck and dimmed her vision, " You're trying to output me from your life again? isn't that right Pierce? "

Fuck, Pierce saw this stage coming, regardless, he wasn't prepared.

" My life? now I think you're the one exaggerating. "

" Because your work is your life, that's all you ever do, you work! " Caitlyn's voice wasn't high yet, but it carried a lofty essence.

Pierce maintained his calm, " I come home, I go on functions with you, birthday parties, dinner with your friends. Don't start this, I'm way too tired. "

Ripples began to surface in her tone " Whatever I do, I do out of love__

" Caitlyn__

" I... I just want you to recognize, notice and validate me. It feels like you forget that I exist sometimes. "

" That's not what this is. " Pierce couldn't afford her breaking past her current point, he wouldn't know how to grasp the situation.

" You want me to cancel what I worked so hard to arrange, without giving me a chance? " She was still trying to reach to him.

" Cancel the deal with Yakizi, I'm just trying to protect the company. "

Caitlyn took a long breathe inside and exposed a short smile on her face. She got to her feet and briefly organized her hair, still clutching her glass of wine.

" Fine, I'll cancel it. "
