Chapter 42
Hunter’s POV
I still cannot wrap my head around the reason why Eden will decide to take the weekend off without my permission and she never bothered to call.
She didn’t show up all through the weekend, no calls, no message
Maybe Alexis was right. I have been soft with her that’s why.
Terror grew in me with every thought of all that has happened through the weekend.
I walked into the office space and Eden was already seated.
What gave her the audacity to show up at the office? What could have made her think that she still has a job here?
My eyes reddened and my knees weakened as I looked at her standing.
She looks so good, that I almost forgot I was mad at her.
At that point I wished I could hug and kiss her, though I spent the whole weekend with Alexis but Eden was in my mind all through.
Alexis has told me how she saw her hugged and kissed another man in front of my house and how they drove off together.
My heart pounded heavily with terror and emotions tugged in together.
“Good morning sir,” the sound of her voice sent shivers down my spine.
I almost answered those greetings politely but I shrugged it off.
1 stared at her angrily hoping she got the message and understood my silence.
I walked past her without a word and went into my office.
I ran my right hand’s palm and fingers through my hairs down to my face.
“Ughh…,” I groan out a sigh of frustration.
Afterall maybe she’s truly not good for me.
With an uneasy feeling I walked randomly in the office with millions of thoughts going through my head.
After a few minutes of moving randomly in the office I stopped and leaned my hand on the work desk staring at the wall with nothing in particular in my thoughts.
I sat down, hoping she would walk in and explain what made her take the weekend off without my approval.
I rebooted the system before me to see whether I can find a perfect distraction from the multitude of voices in my head.
Those voices never went silent, I stared Into the system with no ability of performing anything.
Does she think that she has automatically become a boss of her own just because we had sex? I asked a lot of unanswered. questions.
I was still seeking answers that didn’t seem coming within me when Alexis walked into the office.

“Hello darling.” I heard her voice echoing in my head.
“Hey,” I looked towards her direction.
“Hope all is well, that you showed up on a Monday morning at my office,”
“Yea honey all is okay,” she whined her body seductively as she moved towards me.
She cupped my face into her palms.
“I thought of us cooking something juicy in your office,” she whispered into my face and kissed my lips.
“Hey, this is my office, what if any of the staff walked in on us,” I took her hands off my face.
I detached her from my body.

“Sit.”
She sat down and picked her phone out of her mini handbag and began to press it.
Silent covered the place as I fixed my attention in the system before with my brain assimilating nothing.
“When did you intend to fix our wedding date? Don’t you think our engagement is getting aged?,
“Yea, soon I will.”
“Well it doesn’t look like that, so I have talked to your mom about it and she has asked me to give her a date I think is befitting for the wedding,”
“So I have thought about a befitting date and I asked myself, Alexis why not celebrate your next birthday as a wife and that can only be possible if we get married get married before my birthday.”
I looked at her in disbelief.
“You will do no such thing, your birthday is in few weeks and you don’t expect us to get married before then,”
“Why not?! We have known each other for a long time, we have the money to sponsor any wedding of our choice,”
*Plus we have been engaged for like two years now,”
“And my parents are beginning to ask questions,”
“I am the man and the wedding will happen only when I say it will,” I yelled.
“Okay it’s okay, just make your soon, soon enough,”
I chuckled and rested fully on my seat.
“Let’s discuss your birthday, that is few weeks away.”
A slight smile played on her lips.
“Well, I want a most talk of town birthday.”
“I don’t mind shutting down the whole of New York for my birthday,” she giggled.
I stared at her as she described how she wants her birthday to be
She was still glamorously describing how she wants her birthday to be, when Eden walked into the office space with a file In

her hand.
She handed over the file in her hand and reminded me of the meeting with the accounting department.
“I have a meeting and you’re just reminding me now that it’s a few minutes away.” I
angrily.

“Reschedule the meeting to next Monday at the same time,” I ordered.
“Okay sir, I will right away
“You left the house unannounced during the weekend and never showed up until this morning?
“No…… 1 1 stammered.
“Honey, guess what, I saw a video of Eden dancing and having fun in the club,” Miss Quinn interrupted rudely.
“You’re bent on dragging this company to the mud, my assistant cannot be seen frolicking around men and liquor publicly.”
“Nooo…it’s not what you think,”
“Just shut up and get out,” I yelled.
Alexis showed me the video.
“I told you she was having fun,”
This shows how incompetent she can be,”
“It’s almost past lunchtime time, ain’t you going for lunch?” Alexis showed concern.
“No I’m fine, I will call the cafeteria for a coffee,
“Okay, let me get going, I have an appointment for three pm with an event planner,”
“Event planner?”
“For my birthday of course,”
“Okay,”
“Bye honey,” she kissed my forehead.
“Bye.”
I watched her walk out of the space towards the exit.
It dawned on me that earlier Eden wanted to explain herself but I shut her up.
Which is a very bad act coming from me to her, she must really have a better reason as to why she did that since she’s not the one to joke with her work.
Should I call her in and hear what she has to say?” I mouthed silently.
