Chapter 95- Telling Her The Truth
HARDIN'S POV
“ What?" I asked as I looked at her surprised that she actually asked me what she said that night,
“ Uhm, Miss Miller, are you sure about what you're asking me? You said a lot of things that night," I said as I scratched the back of my neck,
“ Was it that bad?” She asked as she looked at me with scrunch brows.
" No, of course not,” I said. That was actually a lie, who calls their assistant in the middle of the night and tells him to play with her, Ariana of course.
" You're lying, Hardin, it was bad, tell me, don't you dare lie to me, what did I say?" She asked, she was going to regret asking me this,
“ I don't think we should really talk about this, it's in the past," I said trying to escape reminiscing that night,
“ It's in the past but it hasn't stop coming to my mind time to time about what I might have said so please for my own peace of mind, just fucking tell me what I said, sit," she said,
“ I don't think I wanna sit down, I'll just go ahead and tell you," I said,
“ So you called me and you sounded drunk and the first thing you told me was that you wanted my lips," I said as she opened her mouth looking at me in shock before quickly closing it back,
I kept quiet thinking she'd change her mind and tell me she didn't want to hear more but she was looking at me expectantly waiting for me to continue.
“ So, uhm, I immediately knew you were drunk and told you to go to sleep but you kept asking for my lips so I told you you could have it, you seemed quite happy about it night I add, then you uhm—told me you wanted my head in-between your legs,”
" What?!” She asked as her eyes went round,
" You want me to stop or continue?”
" I said more?!” She asked and I nodded,
“ What more did I say?" She asked,
“ You wanted me to play with you," that was the last thing she said that I could remember but she was pretty naughty that night.
“ That's all?" She asked and instead of me to nod my head I shook it in a no deciding to tease her.
“ God, this is why I try to stay away from alcohol because it never ends well," she said as she placed her head in her hands shaking it and I couldn't help but chuckle.
“ It's not funny Hardin, I can't even look at you right now," she said,
" What more did I say?” She asked,.
" That's all,..." I said with a laugh,
" Next time don't go near an alcohol bottle,” I said before I turned away from her and walked out of her office.
I couldn't help but laugh, she was so funny, couldn't even lift her head even after I finished telling her everything.
I walked into my office as I sat down on my chair to begin my day.
I was still smiling when suddenly the thought of what Vera and I discussed last night came back and my mood turned sour.
I shouldn't let that woman fill my mind, she doesn't deserve my attention even for a bit.
We were never meant to be, she made that decision for both of us.
But why did the thought of that make my heart squeeze?

ARIANA'S POV
What the heck was wrong with me? Why the hell would I call him saying all that? How I'm I going to face him again? The fuck.
As he told me what I said when I called him, everything that happened that night came rushing to me like I was poured a bucket of ice water.
I remember that I was in the shower and I had earlier touched myself thinking about him, and then I went ahead and fucking called him, I called him. Shit.
I have never done something like that before, why would I do it now with him?
God, save me from my own self.
I took deep breaths trying to calm myself, I felt so embarrassed, I wouldn't be able to avoid him, so I have to face it.
I got back to work busying myself with something that makes me happy.
I was working when my phone started ringing and I turned to see it was a call from my Mom but I ignored it. We had a fight this morning, and I don't think I was ready to talk to her so I let the phone ring until it stopped.
I picked the phone and silenced it.
I don't want to talk to her, she should leave me alone.
I got back to work and was so busy that the world was lost to me not until a knock came on my door and I knew it was Hardin, act normal, act normal. I told myself.
“ Come in," I said and just as expected, he was the one.
“ Miss Miller please I need your signature on this," he said as he dropped a document on my table.
I quickly went through it and then I signed.
“I brought you lunch,” he said as he dropped a bag I didn't notice him holding earlier and my stomach chose that moment to grumble in hunger, if I couldn't be more embarrassed.
“ I'll take that as you're hungry, enjoy your meal," he said before taking the document with a smile and walking out of my office.
Today has just decided to embarrass me from all corners, what a perfect day.
I took the bag and opened it to see it was Korean food. Oh, wow, yummy.
I took out the kimchi as my mouth began to salivate and I didn't waste time as I took the chopsticks and started eating. It tasted so good.
I just took my phone to check through it and see that I've gotten some missed calls. Some from my mother and some from Sasha!
Anytime I got a call from her it meant trouble, she was trouble.
I contemplated calling her back or ignoring the call so I just called her.
“ What do you want?" I asked in boredom.
“ I've been calling you for over thirty minutes you haven't been picking up, are you always this mean?" She asked and I couldn't help but roll my eyes,
“ What do you want, Sasha?" I asked,
" I'm at the airport,”
" What?!”
