In which the consultant insists

"Absolutely not!" I shook my head.

"But what if-" I didn"t let him finish his sentence "No means no, get it through your thick ass skull." I stood up from the leather chair that was tucked under desk."Why don"t you consider it, we are business partners you need to listen to me." I walked around my desk to face him directly.

"first of all we-" I flicked my finger at him then pointed at me before continuing "aren"t business partners you are my business consultant, second I don"t need to do anything you tell me, and third That"s my ex husband I don"t feel comfortable doing business with him, okay." I finished with a smug smile loving the face he was giving me.

He wasn"t ugly that was a fact, he was gorgeous to be exact brown hair that was neatly combed, and his dark chocolate colored eyes. "Listen here Maxwell Reynolds do something useful and get me a nice coffee yeah?" I walked out of my office and down the hallway of my building.

My building. I will never get used to it.

He started running after me finally catching up to me and taking deep breaths trying to calm his breathing. "Damn lady how much did you walk." He held his finger up at me as he crouched down taking more breaths before finally speaking calmly.

"I know it"s uncomfortable for you but you should also consider the future of your company." He leaned on the wall that was next to him "please I am your buisness consultant so let me give you some advice consider it at the least." He turned and walked away leaving me by myself.

I dreaded the day this would happen "Libre industries" would have to incorporate at some point with "Bello"s company".

I chose to name my company libre meaning free in spanish. I wanted to be free, not having the chains of Lucian holding me down every fricken day. Its infuriating.

I walked into the bathroom that was empty. I sighed and stuffed my head into my hands. I needed to think. Do I really want to do this? I just wanna go home and see my beautiful one year old daughter.

I dragged my hands through my loose hair and splashed some water to wake me up. I decided to go home early seeing as I was done for the day and didn"t feel like doing more work than I have to.

I felt my phone vibrate and buzz in my purse I fished it out with one of my hands. I looked at the caller ID and immediately knew who it was. I tapped the green phone icon to pick up.

"Abigail hi, why are you calling is there a problem?" Concern was in my voice because she was currently taking care of my child.

"Um no just wanted to ask when you were going to pass and pick up Liana." I sighed in relief I don"t know what i would have done if something had happened to my baby girl, everything I do is for her.

"I am on my way right now I will be there in fifteen minutes." I walked out of the bathroom and the building all together, hopping into my car and turning my key roaring the motor to life. I started driving Immediately.

I raised my hand to knock and lightly tapped on the door. I heard a small come in. I twisted the knob and walked in.

My little girl came running at me a little clumsily. She almost tripped and fell but she kept her balance and determination to get to me.

"Mommy." She said in her tiny voice I was still teaching her how to speak, but at that point I didn"t care.

This was my little girl and nobody else"s.
