Chapter 35 He Could See Through Her Lies

Chapter 35 He Could See Through Her Lies
She nodded her head quickly, begging for her step-mother to stop.

She just couldn’t, couldn’t bare the pain anymore.
Elizabeth smirked victoriously before turning off the video.

She walked towards Anna, crouching down to her level. ‘’Good!’’ She said, removing a strand of hair that clung to Anna’s sweaty forehead and placing it behind her ear lovingly.

‘’And if you think about double crossing me..’’ She continued, her voice dangerously low, warning.

‘’I’ll make sure to send this to Alex.’’ She threatened, an evil smirk making its way to her lips as she watched Anna quiver. 

‘’I won’t.’’ Anna finally said after struggling to catch her breath, filling up her organs that had tightened before.

‘’Good!’’ Elizabeth said again, patting Anna’s head lightly before getting up.

The door to sienna’s office slammed open and Alex imposing figure entered.

He stared between Elizabeth and Anna who was still on the floor, looking disheveled with tear stricken eyes.

‘’Are you okay?’’ He rushed to her, his voice laced with worry as he shoved past Anna’s step mother.

Elizabeth inwardly stomped her foot angrily.

She plastered a fake smile on her face and walked towards where Alex was attending to Anna.

‘’Oh anna! I’ve always told you about being too dramatic. Marissa is in a coma not dead.’’ She said, earning her a raised brow from Alex.

‘’I just came to tell my daughter that her sister was in a coma and she suddenly slumped to the floor and start wailing. Those two are inseparables!’’ She mused, making Alex scowl even more.

He had seen the hatred in the eyes of Marissa towards her own sister. He had even seen that she had been sleeping with her sister’s fiancé.

So why would Anna be crying about the same sister being in a coma?

If anything, she should be rejoicing instead.

Because she wouldn’t have to be bothered by her during the time she stayed in a vegetative state.

‘’Is that true?’’ Alex asked, his attention now on Anna who was now cleaning the tears off her eyes.

‘’Yes.’’ She murmured, averting her eyes from his.
She quickly got up and headed out of the office, getting past the scrunity of the workers as she headed for a stall in the restroom.

Alex watched her go, worry still etched on his face.

‘’What a fine company you’ve got Mr DiCaprio. My son-in-law would love to—‘’

‘’Leave.’’ Alex murmured, interrupting her.

His voice was low, a there was a dangerous glint to it making Elizabeth’s smile falter as she stared at him in shock.

‘’What?!’‘ She asked, confused.

‘’You’ve delivered your message to your daughter haven’t you?’’ He started, staring at her annoyedly.

He stepped closer, his build towering over her as he placed his lips close to her ear.

Elizabeth stayed rooted, still trying to grasp the situation.

‘’You barged into this place without any appointment. I can sue you for trespassing and get your ‘son-in-law’ bankrupt.’’ He whispered in her ear, making sure his words sank in properly.
He pulled away, a fake smile plastering on his lips as he stared at her. 

Elizabeth backed away, shocked.

She quickly ran out of the door and left Grey’s couture, realizing that Alex knew more about her and her family than she thought.

Meanwhile…Anna was still in the stall bawling her eyes out.

The trauma she thought had been buried deep inside her had been awakened.

She still couldn’t forget that night..

The night everything changed for her…

The night he touched—

Her phone buzzed, interrupting her thoughts. It was a message from Alex.

‘Have lunch with me at my office.’ 

Anna raised a brow in questions. She quickly swiped on the message, responding. 

‘I’ll pass.’

Alex stared at the message, an invisible smile curling up his face.

‘I wasn’t asking.’ He typed back, making Anna’s face flush red.

‘Fine!’ She answered back before putting her phone back in her pants knowing Alex wouldn’t reply again.

She wiped off the tears on her face and got off the toilet sit.

With a sigh, she pushed the door open and stood in front of the washroom mirror staring at her disheveled appearance.

Sniffling, she got a tissue and blew on it before getting another one and wetting it.

After doing that, she wiped her face with it, cleaning off all the smudged makeup products on her face.

‘’You look better now.’’ She murmured to herself, dabbing a few powder on her face before exiting the washroom.

By the time she got back to her department, everyone had already gone to the office diner as it was already lunch break.

Turning around, she headed for Alex’s office, fiddling with her dress all the way.

For some reason, she was nervous about seeing him.

He had seen her in a vulnerable position. And deep down, she knew Alex was not stupid. He could see through the lies,,,,and he knew her step-mother was lying.

The elevator door dinged open and she stepped out, heading for Alex office.

She knocked twice, hearing him asking her to come in before she turned the knob.

Stepping in, she found Alex leaning leisurely on the work desk with different varieties of food on his table.

He had cleared out of the work documents that used to be on his desk solely for food.

She chuckled inwardly.

‘’I won’t wait for you.’’ She heard him say.
So he had been waiting for her…..

She watched him picked up a cutlery, piercing some food before throwing it into his mouth.

He moaned, the sound making her lips water.

She quickly grabbed a chair in the corner and placed it across from him.

Without looking at him twice, she propped on the chair and digged in, constantly moaning and nodding as she ate heartily.

‘’Sir!’’ His secretary barged in, her eyes widening as she stared at Anna who let go of the cutlery immediately, the sound resonating around the office.

‘’Did’nt I say not to interrupt me?!’’ Alex snapped, staring at her angrily.

‘’You are fire—

‘’The promoter is here.’’ She interrupted, her body shaking as she anticipated his next words.

Alex paused, staring at Anna apologetically.

‘’Send him in.’’ He said, making the secretary breath a sigh of relief.

She quickly hurried out, slamming the door behind her.

Anna stared at the closed door, her feet hitting the ground repeatedly as nervousness consumed her.

What would the person think of her?

She quickly reached to get up but Alex voice stopped her.

‘’keep eating.’’ He commanded, making Anna sit back.

The door to the office opened a again and Anna turned around, her eyes bulging from its socket as her spirit fought to leave her body behind.

She blinked, hoping she’d just been dreaming.

Because what other logical explanation did she have?!
