Chapter 114

Isadora POV

The audacity! Who did he think he was to just call my phone and order me around? I frowned at my phone once more and groaned in annoyance. Today was a very throat pressing day for me, literally everyone was getting on my nerves and just to ice the cake, Charles! Out of everyone else, Charles had to call me and seek a stupid meeting!

Angrily, I sprung off my seat and groaned loudly and in a matter of seconds, Roman, the young man daddy handed to me to act as an assistant, pushed the door open and appeared in the room.

I raised my brows in shock when I saw him there, “What do you want?!” I asked wide eyed.

“I heard your voice, is everything okay?”

“You heard my voice and so? Oh my gosh!” I sighed and walked around my table and approached him slowly “Rowan, I didn’t call you in here, did I send for you ?!” I screeched at him through my gritted teeth.

“I’m sorry ma’am, I wasn’t sure if I heard you call but I came in anyways.”

“Oh my—“ I paused, then exhaled sharply, before then, “You know what, since you’re here…” I headed to my table and arranged some paperwork into some files, “Get all these stamped and if there’s anything I’m supposed to do, handle it if I’m unavailable.”

“Ma’am I’m sorry, I’m just an intern, plus I’ve only worked for a few weeks, I don’t have the hang of things yet.” He stuttered.

“Rowan, I’m not sure why you think I give a shit about that but the truth is I don’t care if you’re an intern or student or whatever, my point is, you have work to do so figure it out and get the job done perfectly unless you want to lose this job.”

“N— no no! Not at all ma’am.”

“Well then, get it done before I return.” I sighed at him, grabbed my purse and stormed out of the room. I could no longer breathe the same air that dumb squat was inhaling.I pulled my keys out and just as I was about to get into the car, I heard daddy call my name, “Isadora?”

“Ah! Great!” I muttered to myself.

“What are you doing here?” Daddy approached me.

“I … I was just heading out for lunch.”Daddy stole a glance at his wristwatch, “lunch? Isn’t it a little bit too early for lunch?”

“No no, not lunch I meant brunch daddy, I —“

“Oh, you just want to chew something, you know keep your jaw busy.”

“Yeah…” I flashed a smile at him then pulled the car door open, “Those are the exact words daddy. I’ll be back in a bit.”

“Issa honey, can you wait for a bit or at least join me? I am stepping out because I want something to keep my mouth busy too. I just want to make a quick stop at that cafe somewhere downtown, they make some of the best tea in the city.”

“Daddy? …” I wasn’t even sure why Charles wanted to see me at the same time I didn’t even want to go see him but unfortunately my curiosity had gotten the best of me, I couldn’t just back out now, “Daddy, I don’t think we’re going the same way—“

“Honey, that’s not a problem at all, I’ll drop you off, wait for you then we’ll go grab mine, I’ll wait for you for as long as you want my love.”

“Err… daddy you don’t get it.”

“Honey, —“Daddy, the truth is, I’m just feeling a bit overwhelmed and I think I just need fresh air for myself… alone, daddy.”

Daddy glared at me with a bland look on his face and slowly, a smile appeared on his face, “Alright my sweetheart, just make sure to be back just on time okay?” He pressed his lips against my cheek and headed towards his car.

“Oh…that was easy” I muttered to myself.I got into the car and drove straight to the lounge where Charles planned to meet with me. By the time I got there, I stepped in and saw him sitting and staring back at me.

I exhaled sharply and made my way there and took a seat. Honestly, I felt a little nervous since it’d been a long while since Charles and I spoke to each other or had something planned.

I could feel my heart beating loudly in my chest and my lungs made it super obvious that they were puffing up and down in my chest.“You already ordered something already.” I said to him, barely making eye contact.

“Yeah, of course I already ordered something. It’s not a date or something. Plus you’re late.”I glared at him and narrowed my eyes at him after hearing that petty statement, “Anyways, what do you want and why did you call me here?”

“Mmm, I’m glad you came… I’m glad you didn’t come with Oliver… your fiance.”Hearing that word escape his lips and the nature of the statement, I just knew that statement didn’t sound right at all. Even though I wasn’t super excited for this wedding thing, now I know Charles was aware that Oliver was my fiance, I was nothing more than even more embarrassed.I just felt guilty for being embarrassed because I wasn’t supposed to be.

“How’s the wedding preparation going?”

“It’s — fine, can you please hurry up and tell me what you wanted us to discuss?” I stole a glance at my wristwatch, “I’m sorry, I just have a lot to do back at daddy’s company.”

“It’s crazy how you two are literally getting married so soon and fast… we were barely even broken up— oh wait, right you cheated on me, plus he’s what? Your first love.”

“What do you fucking want from me, Charles?!”
