Chapter 26

As we went back, thankfully Zachary was already present their talking to Mr. Lascar as if nothing ever happened a few seconds ago. The woman sat next to them and silently listened to their conversation. All of a sudden Zachary looked at us and at the moment his eyes traveled down to where Alex had linked his arm with mine. I noticed as he clenched his jaws and that was enough for me to be attentive and I removed my arms from around Alex and went back to sit on my chair.
"So shall I start the paperwork? Should I think that this deal is a yes from your side?" Mr. Lascar asked and the moment Zachary's eyes flickered towards me and back to Mr. Lascar as he nodded his head yes.
"I don't have any idea what is he up to now," Alex spoke as he walked me back to my apartment.
"I think he has gotten over me and gave up on me," I said as I fished the keys out from my purse and turned the doorknob but didn't open it.
"No! I don't think so. But at the moment he is helping my father from his depression and I am just glad about it," he said and I nodded "I hope, I don't upset you on this," he said and my eyes widened and I shook my head no "No! What are you saying? Of course not! It's alright!" I said and he smiled "He has caused you so much trouble yet you are fine with us dealing with him. You are really...what do I say?" he trailed off thinking about the correct word and I smiled "Kind?" I laughed and he joined in.
"Okay. I think I should go. Bye," he smiled and I nodded replying the same and waited for him to leave but he stood their and rocked on his heels like a school kid as he spoke up "I am going now. Bye," to which I only nodded and smiled at him.
"Okay. Bye," he said and finally turned on his heels and then finally after ten minutes of Bye...Bye...Bye...he was gone as he took the lift and was out of my sight.
I sighed as I exhaled out and turning the doorknob, I entered the apartment only to be startled by none other than Zachary himself.
"You seem to be enjoying his company a lot lately," he said narrowing his eyes while I held my heart finding its sped up for the moment.
"Oh my god! Zachary! Why do you always do this?" I hissed at him and hurriedly closed the door locking it as I glared at him and walked past him towards my bedroom where I threw my purse on my bed and got rid of my heels.
"What were you thinking? Must I say this you truly are something aye? You had sex with me in your enemies house. What should I do? Should I applaud you for it? or should I reward you something for that stupid stunt of yours?" I yelled at him but all he did was to glare back at me.
"He touched what's mine so I had you in his own house. Simple as fuck!" he replied and then plopped down on my bed.
I gave him an incredulous look before picking up the pillow and throwing it at him.
"Really? Then what were you doing? What's with this girlfriend story? Do you think I'm blind? I saw you touching her and she had her arms around you as if you were her husband," I yelled at him and as I remembered the woman's arm around his I felt my blood boiling.
"She is being paid for it. You don't have to worr- Oh wait! Are you jealous?" he smirked as he narrowed his eyes at me. His eyes had this mischievous glint as I glared back at him.
"Why should I?" I laughed sarcastically.
"Oh well, good. You shouldn't be jealous at all," he said as he wrapped his hands behind his head and looked up at me as I stood next to him near the bed. I nodded feeling angry from the inside but chose not to speak anything in return. Cause I knew it was useless.
My phone rung and still glaring at Zachary I went to pick it up to find Alex on the other end.
"What are you doing?" he asked and I narrowed my eyes at Zachary who had his attention on me.
"Nothing! I was just lecturing my maid," I replied in a monotone.
"Ivona?" Zachary poked me on my shoulder as I watched a stupid movie on which I had no attention on the Netflix.
"Hey! Are you listening?" he poked for the second time but again I chose to ignore him.
"Juliette!"
"What?" I snapped back at him as I got up from the bed and looked up at him.
"Why are you ignoring me?" he asked to which I crossed my arms over my chest and stared back at him.
"Okay fine! I am sorry. Are you going to ignore me for eternity or what? I have been walking following you for two hours and you are not even responding,"
"Zachary, are you being serious now?" I asked and he raised an eyebrow.
"I don't remember us talking about you having a paid girlfriend. You didn't even bother to tell me about her and you have the audacity to let her touch you before me. How dare you?" I pushed him and walked past him towards the closet where I unzip my dress and got rid of my dress. He followed me inside while I was still on my lingerie.
"Juliette, I was just kidding. You know I don't love her or anybody else, It's you only you," he came forward wrapping his arms around me from behind stopping me from putting my pajamas on. I sighed as and let him hug me as I turned around to face him.
"I'm sorry too. I don't know why I am acting like this but it's not exactly you. I just didn't like it when she had her arms around you. It didn't even look as if she was acting," I said and wrapped my arms around him feeling a bit of possessiveness for my husband.
"I love you," I whispered and he chuckled wrapping his arms around me as he placed a soft kiss on my shoulder. A small smile laced up my face as I cherished the moment of me being in his arms and him being so close to me but then he had to ruin the moment as I felt my bra unhooked all of a sudden.
"I have unfinished business with you, remember? Darling?" he whispered seductively.
