Chapter 19
ISABEL
I tried to push him away but the more I did, the more he pulled me closer, still trying to kiss me.
1 fought hard against it but eventually got tired and ended up letting him kiss me. I know I shouldn’t have but I did and it felt like Deja at that moment.
I ment ally cursed at myself but kept kissing him. My stomach rumbled with butterflies as he pulled me closer to him. Just as
I started to enjoy the kiss, I snapped back to reality, pulled back, and slapped him hard.
“How dare you!”
“You kissed me back too so why are you acting this way?”
I scoffed. “You forced me.”
“But you are enjoying it,” he replied.
“Stay away from me Logan. I don’t want anything to do with you and what happened here today should never repeat itself okay?” I pointed my index finger at him.
“Don’t worry baby. There will be more of it,” he smiled and I felt the urge to wipe the smile off his face.
I turned to leave, literally speechless. How dare he I was madder at myself for enjoying the kiss.
I returned later in the afternoon with the timetable made of the list.
“This is good. So I expect something tomorrow. You have all access to the company kitchen. And also money will be sent to your account to go shopping for all the foodstuff that will be needed for the preparation.”
“Thank you and alright,” I replied.
“Isabel,” Logan called just as I turned to leave.
“I missed you. I missed you so much that I finally feel alive after seeing you. If only you know how happy I am.”
I didn’t know what to say because I didn’t expect him to say those words to me and why was I affected by it? I me ntally scolded myself.
I opened my mouth to say something but closed my mouth as nothing seemed to be coming out of my mouth.
I was moved by his words. He sounded sincere when he said those words. My eyes met with his for a nanosecond and I shivered from it. I didn’t want to let that get to me because nothing would change the past or what I went through before 1 became who I am.
I left the office. The whole of that night, I just couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t close my eyes without thinking about the kiss. It was short but sweet and I didn’t like it.
The next day, I arrived at the company early to get to work. I made preparations and just in time, it was ready. Logan entered the kitchen at that moment.
“Good morning Mr.Smith”
“Good morning beautiful,” he said and I rolled my eyes at his statement.

Chapter 19
“Looks yummy. I can tell it tastes delicious already,” he remarked.
I served the food, ignoring his remarks. Once I was done, I stood aside for him to eat.
“Have you eaten?” He asked.
“No, why?” I answered.
“Why don’t you sit down and join me?”
“I am not hungry.” I lied,
Even if I was, I wouldn’t want to eat with him. The only reason I was here is because of my job otherwise I wouldn’t be here.
“You don’t have to lie. You do realize that u can read right? You are just the same as you are then, just a little stubborn,” he chuckled and 1 rolled my eyes.
“You might want to stop rolling your eyes before they fall out. I can count the number of times I’ve seen you roll your eyes and honestly, they don’t look good on you.”
“Why don’t you try eating and be sure to drink water because you never know, you might choke from thinking you know too much.” I remarked.
“Oh well. I’d love to get choked but it would be nice if you choked on something too, don’t you think?”
“Can you shut up and eat?”
“Did you just speak to your employer in that tone?”
“It’s exhausting don’t you think?” I retorted.
“Then shut up, take a sit and eat with me. Make your job easy. If you don’t want to be stressed then do as told,” he replied.
“If you don’t want to eat, then don’t but I won’t be standing here and watching you because unlike you, I love to utilize my
time.
He chuckled. “Utilize your time? Oh honey, I’m utilizing my time. Staring and talking to you is worth it my dear. For someone who loves to work, you sure don’t respect your employer, do you? But that’s what I like. Soon I’d put you under m and have you screaming. Do you know how much I’ve missed that?”
“Can you please stop talking and eat? Don’t you have another thing to attend to?” I remarked.
“I would rather eat something else, is that possible?” He asked.
Something told me he was about to make a ridiculous demand.
“You haven’t even touched your food, why would you want to request something else?” I folded my arms across my chest. I was honestly tired and it was my first day of work.
Usually, I’d just go to the restaurant and make food and that’s all. Now I have to do the personal request of someone who seems to only want to get on my nerves.
“Well, I can have this later. Why don’t you give me something else? Can you?” He raised his brows in a questioning manner.
“What is it?” I sighed.
“I want to cat you.”

Chapter 19
My jaw dropped from his response and as much as I didn’t want to be surprised, I couldn’t help but be.
“Do you realize you have a wife and I have a boyfriend?” I remarked.
“Wife? She’s not my wife and that boy I saw you with the other day will no longer be in your life.” He sounded so sure from the way he spoke.
“You don’t know that. And why are you denying your wife?” I asked although I knew I shouldn’t have,
“I didn’t marry Jade because I loved her. There was more to it. I have always loved you, Isabel. Just you.”
I would be lying if I said his words didn’t surprise me. Our eyes locked that moment and he kept staring as if he wanted me to read and see his heart. As much as I wanted to believe that, memories of four years ago resurfaced again.
He looked me in the eyes, with those same eyes, and told me he never loved me.
“You should stop speaking some certain words you know? You can’t just say some words and expect everything to be alright,” I replied, forcing a smile to my face.
“It’s the truth anyways. I never loved Jade. I married her for a reason and I honestly wish I was smart enough to see beyond it but I fell for it and that cost me dearly. I wish I could turn back the hands of time, I know I’d be more happy,” he stated.
“Why don’t you try eating? The food is getting warm,” I suggested
“And as for your boyfriend. What do you see about him? I’m not saying this because I feel like but honestly, you could have chosen better,” he remarked and I scoffed.
“Chosen better? Says who? If there’s anyone to comment about Tim then it shouldn’t be you. It definitely can’t be you. You are the last person that should say anything. Tim is ten times a man than you.” I clapped back.
“Ouch! That hurts. You know that’s a lie though. I get it if you said those words because you are angry with me. I mean I deserve it after what I did but comparing me to Tim? Trust me, he’s not someone you should be defending,” he replied.
“Then you should focus on yourself. You don’t have the right to tell me what I should do with my life the same way I don’t talk about your life. I’d choose Tim over you.” I retorted.
He bit his lips. I could tell my words hit deep and I loved it. I wanted him to feel all that I felt in the past even if not all.
“Tim? You both won’t last. You can say all of this but there’s one thing I can assure you of, in the end, I’d be the one you’d end up with.” He sounded so confident.
“I’m so done with this conversation,” I complained.
“Life isn’t all about you and you can’t make everything about you. You know what? Eat or not I don’t care. Focus on your wife. and let me focus on mine. You are exhausting.” I walked away, not turning to look at him.
I just needed to be away from his presence for my peace of mind and sanity because he was ruining that with his words.
