Chapter 20
Hunter’s POV
“Good evening sir, ma’am, welcome to Queens mall,” a female voice greeted politely.
“Thank you.”
We went into the gigantic mall walking by each other.
I occasionally steal a glance at her, to think that she had been avoiding me for the past few days, acting so cold towards me.
I know she still shows up at my doorstep only because she’s still my assistant and she doesn’t mix work with emotions.
It was 5pm on a Thursday. We went to get groceries in the mall. She had made one hundred and one excuses to not be at the mall with me but I insisted.
We walked our way to the grocery section, picking things we needed from the shelf.
I went to the wine section living her to get the rest of the groceries, I scanned through the wine shelf and spotted my fav.
I picked it up and turn around
“Hey! Eden check this out, I’ve found the long lost wine,” I said looking towards the groceries section.
The wine slipped from my hands and fell into pieces with my heart shattered as I saw Eden in another man’s hug.
Both Eden and the man she was hugging turned around to the direction of where I was standing.
I was still standing amidst the broken wine bottle when the mall attendant and cleaners, came holding a mob,
“Sir, are you okay? Hope you’re not hurt?,” the attendant asked me in concern.
“Mr. Blackwell, are you okay?” She said, stretching her hand to touch me.
I stood there looking at them with no words.
At that point the uproar of violence was rising within me, my hands shiver as I met the gaze of the man standing beside my sweet girl.

I remembered him to be the man she said was her colleague from the university.
The cleaners cleaned up the mess and left.
“Are you sure you’re fine?” she asked, holding my hands.
“Henry, meet my boss, Mr Hunter Blackwell, she introduced.
“You mean the famous Blackwell?”
“Yes,”
“It’s a pleasure meeting you,” he said with a stretched right hand.
I looked at him with my face swollen up and left his hands hanging.
“Good bye Henry I have to start going, see you around,” she said to him walking right behind me.
“Goodbye,” he replied.
She was already done with the groceries and the cart was right in front of the counter
“Hello, Mr Hunter,” a harmonious feminine voice voice called, elegantly walking to me with a bottle of my fav.
“Hi, you are…?”
“Oh! You don’t recognize me, I’m Alexis‘ friend we met at Alexis last birthday, and I’m the manager here,” she explained with a smile.
“Sorry I’m not too good at recognizing faces,
“Here,” she said, passing the bottle of wine in her hands onto me.
“It’s on me,” she added
“Thank you,”
“You’re welcome,”
Eden was still standing by the side, the goods were already in the car booth.
We headed to the parking lot.
We went into the car. The driver was in the car waiting for us in the car.

Chapter 20
Without a word we drove out of the mall premises and headed straight to the penthouse.
As we drove down the street with my heart boiling up, sweat began to form inside of
- mc.
My heart is pounding so fast, why do I always feel this way whenever I see another man around her? Not even for Alexis have I felt this way before? Questions began to flow out of my mind.
She was seated quietly beside me without knowing what was going inside of me.
The first time I felt this way was when I saw Trevor around her and it got worse when he started showing up at the office with a gift for her.
I hate it whenever I see her talking to my gender let alone hugging.
My heart can not stand the thought of her in another man’s bed fucking him. I want her all for myself.
Leannot stand the thought of another man having a taste of that juice and flavor in her.
My heart raced in pain and won y as we drove into the penthouse.
The driver helped move the goods from the mall out of the booth into the penthouse.
“Goodbye sir,” the driversaid and left.
She went straight into the kitchen and started unpacking the groceries.
I sat on the couch and brought out my phone, replied to a few emails and went into my bedroom to refresh.
I came into the sitting space in a short and loose shirt.
She was already setting the table for dinner by the time I came out.
“Hey, you came out right in time, dinner is served,” she said with a wave of a smile.
“What’s for dinner?” My first words to her since we left the mall.
Wow! “Finally you’ve unmute yourself,”
“See for yourself,” she said with a bold smile, gesturing for me to sit.
It was a table filled with my favs, from the desert to the food to the wine.

Stream came gushing out of my mouth, my salivary gland secretes thrice it normal as I
stare at what was in front of me.
I took my seat and she sat beside me
“Are you okay?” she asked just when I was about to dive in, I gently closed the dish.
“Yea I’m okay, why?” I replied.
“I was just wondering seeing what happened earlier at the mall,”
“Why do you go about hugging men in public”
“Is that what all that was about?”
“I was just concerned about what people will say when the see my assistant hugging men in public while I’m there,”
“It will not say good about me and the company,” I explained further.
“Is it about the company?”
“If it’s about the company then I’m sorry for that,”
“What if it’s not about the company?”
“Does that mean you’re not sorry?” I asked with my gaze glued on her.
She thought for a while and a grin played on her lips.
“Even if it’s not about the company, I’m sorry too,” she said softly.
A wave of comfort covered me at the sound of those words.
I reached out to her hand and whispered into the air.
“I care about you,”
She narrowed her eyes gently in agreement.
“Let’s enjoy the dinner,”
We dived in and the dinner ended in ecstasy.
