Reborn with hatred

chapter 4

Cassandra pov

Four months have passed since the merging of companies and everything is going great. Thomas is in school and getting good grades, the newerged company is flourishing. The only thing that hasn't been seeming right is my sister Bethany. She has become distant but never fails to text when needing money.

I have decided to throw a company party this weekend. All of my employees were told they could bring some of their family if they wanted to. The more the merrier is what I was always told, so I even invited Bethany hopefully to settle the bad dispute between us. I'm also secretly excited because John is going so after work today Thomas and I are going out to buy a new outfit for the party.

While we were at the mall we happened to run into John while walking to Thomas favorite clothing store.

"Hey boss, how's it going?" He asked, sounding musky. Which was one of the things I loved about him.

"O...ooohh...I...I'm just getting my little brother Thomas a new outfit for the party this weekend. How about you?" I asked shyly I f*****g hate the way I stutter infront of him.

We had talked for about an hour mainly about work related things, which was fine with me because I got to hear his voice.

"Where the hell is he at. He was supposed to be here an hour ago." I started screaming at the waiter. John had promised me we could eat out today at my favorite restaurant which happens to be inside the mall. Normally when John brought me here to eat he would also take me shopping for new clothes.

Getting even more irritated I decided to just go look for him. As I'm rounding the corner I happen to see him talking to none other that my sister. I was fuming but as I got closer and noticed they were only talking business. I suddenly stopped moving towards them because I had also noticed how my sister was trying not to be too obvious while flirting with him. As I'm watching I suddenly got the best f*****g idea ever. I've got to bring it up to John later.

I headed back to the restaurant, not wanting to get caught by my sister. Giggling the whole way. This plan has got to work! It just has to.

After getting back to our table ten minutes pass and here comes John walking in. He smirks and then nods to me making me smile up at him.
