Issues

While walking to my office, I study the file in my hands that I should have left behind for Aziel.
But circumstances have changed, and I now need it for my cover up. My mind is buzzing about why I should have to defend myself against Danner for a night I spent with someone of my choice. I've never made any demands on Danner, so I can expect the same from him.
‘Because you were stupid enough to get engaged to him, I reprimanded myself’. Sure enough, I bump into Danner standing in the hallway like a statue, with his hands folded. “Hi Danner, are you looking for me?”, I ask him with a dazzling smile. I get on my toes and kiss him on the corner of his mouth. He is silent as he continues to stare at me. I look back at him strangely.
“What's up?”, I ask him with a frown. He turns and we walk into my office, obviously expecting me to follow him. With one blow he slams the door shut. Startled, I look up at him. “What was the need for that? Now you're drawing all the attention to us. Calm down, Danner," I tell him tightly.
“Why weren't you home last night, Loraine? You would call me as soon as you got back.” He looks me straight in the eye. I don't give in. “Is that why you're angry and stage this drama? Danner, control yourself. I don't like any of this," I point out to him. “I am an adult and do not owe anyone an explanation for my actions. I am not your property. How dare you make a scene here?!”
I notice that the tension in his body decreases, he understands that he is balancing on a thin line. He’s a lot but not everything and at the moment I am not served by his jealousy and that is slowly starting to sink in. "You do not understand. I was devastated with fear that something might have happened to you. And your phone rang but you didn't answer. God knows what could have happened to you!” he brings up.
I walk over to him now, knowing that he is taking a step back.
I stop right in front of him. “If I remember correctly, I'm coming to the penthouse after work today. Last night was my private time. Also yours, by the way. May I be free, Danner, free from your jealousy and possessiveness?” The smile on my lips softens the power of my words. He looks at me intently, sighs and takes me in his arms. I rest my head on his chest, but our bodies are still not close together.
"Where were you? Tell me, babe.”
“If you must know, Kaylah and I went to the club. A few hours later, Aziel and his friends came in and we formed a nice group. I've lost track of time. We finally left when the club closed. Kaylah drove me home”, I tell without blushing from the chain of lies. Danner looks me in the eye, I know he's trying to gauge whether he can trust me. Unfazed, I stare back until he takes me in his arms again.
“Danner, your behavior today embarrassed me. What will my staff think of me now when my fiancé storms angrily into the company?”.
Strangely enough, he seems anything but guilty or shameful. I grab him by the arm and we walk towards the cafeteria. “And now you have to prove to my staff that you are not the big bad wolf”, I beckon him. When we sit at a table, Kaylah joins us. She turns up her nose. “Was there just a foul-smelling lava eruption in the hallway, Loraine? Hopefully, it's already cleared up." Danner gets the hint.
“Do you mean me, Kaylah? If there's anything that needs cleaning up around here, it's you. Don't forget you work for my fiancé”.
"And? You say yourself, your fiancé. So, by far not for you. I'm not afraid of you, Danner. Misbehavior never arouses sympathy, you should already know that.”
"Never? Didn't you make sure my fiancé lost her sleep because you had to be the party animal? Do you think this is how you secure your job? Then pay attention, soon.”
Now I've really had enough, these two never forget to pick a fight when they meet. “When you two are done bickering, please check if my meal is ready. At least if I'm still alive by then," I say dryly in between.
Courteously, Danner gets up to go to the kitchen. Kaylah immediately jumps at the chance to question me. "How did it go? He cooled down quickly, so it wasn't that bad," she whispers to me. "And you have yet to tell me the true story, I want to know all about it." I roll my eyes.
Luckily, she can't continue on the subject because Danner already arrives with my food.
He sits down and unpacks the boxes for me. When I start to eat I see Aziel strolling into the cafeteria. Before I can respond, Kaylah called him to our table. “Aziel, get me my package too. Danner only took care of his wifey while I was also sitting at the table. Please colleague”, she says sweetly. Aziel gives her a light bow and within five minutes he is back with two packages.
“Danner”, he greets the other man at the table, who just nods to him.
My annoyance grows, Danner's rudeness is irritating.
“Loraine, I’ll be in your office to get the file after lunch. And then I want you to go home as soon as possible. After arriving in the small hours, you must try to catch some serious sleep now,” says Aziel. “I'll drive you if you want. It is not a big deal".
A growl is heard next to me. “I'll take my fiancé home myself. Don't worry about that," Danner snaps at him.
Sigh. This man really has issues with everyone!..






I Am Love, Mr. Billionaire!
