Chapter 81

Amaris POV

I was tensed, jittery and perturbed, hoping he opens up. I left the hospital early just to come over to his apartment.

He was everything I needed but unfortunately, my boss was becoming a third wheel.

I rang his doorbell for a long time, tired of waiting but it seems he wouldn't answer. I'd feel that way too if I were in his shoes.

I let out a soft sigh and intended to take my leave when the door chimes open.

I smiled sadly as I was staring at him now. He left the door open and I stepped inside, my heart scampering with excitement that he let me in.

"Don't you think it's too early to disturb my peace of mind?" He whispers lazily dragging his feet to his couch.

I could see his dog, a Maltese, lagging out it's tongue and rolling on the ground with excitement written all over its face.

It wagged it's tail and ran to hide behind kian's leg.

"What do you want amaris, it's the weekend not work days" he mused drawing my attention back to him and I nodded.

I heard he was ill and it was obvious judging from how he look, I guess he haven't eaten either.

"I just well, stopped by to say hi as a colleague" i responded in between my teeth and he ran his fingers through his hair, staring at me unbelievably.

"You should be with him, besides, you're dating" he mused while closing his eyes and growling.

I folded my lips and exhaled softly. I didn't respond to his words again and paced towards the kitchen to prepare something.

He couldn't stop me even if he wanted to and watch me prepare lunch.

I tried to engage him in talks but he was quiet and kept scrolling on his phone. It was obvious, he's trying to avoid me because he thinks Caleb and I are dating.

"We are not dating Kian" I pointed out but he let out a silent hiss and dragged his feet to the dining table which was close to the kitchen.

I was done cooking chicken chowder soup and placed the pot on the table with bowls that we could have the soup in.

However, before we could dig in, I heard the doorbell ring. We both glanced at ourselves and I gestured to Kian if perhaps he was having an guest.

He shook his head, and I lowered my gaze back to the table but the doorbell came again.

"I'd check it out" I responded slowly rising from my seat. Hastily, I stride towards the door and when I spur it open, I was shocked to find Caleb.

I froze where I stood, too stunned to speak as I thought of perhaps I was staring at a ghost.

I intended to slam the door but he placed his hand quickly on the door knob and opened the door widely.

His eyes blaze at me and I lost my breath. Why? Why does he keep showing up? Not when I'm trying to make things up with Kian.

I bite my lower lips wanting to push him away just so Kian wouldn't find out. This is so embarrassing.

The doctor says he can be discharged in two days, why is he here?

I cleared my throat intending to address him but he pushed me from his way and got inside.

I stuttered aside and widened my eyes.

"Who's that?" Kian asked and I could hear his footsteps behind me which halts immediately he sighted Caleb which I guess.

I rolled my face at Kian who seems surprised too, finding the boss in his house.

I was so scared, what if they break into a fight?

Kian gave Caleb a slight bow and I almost moved towards where he stood but Caleb grabbed my hand and pulled be back to stand beside him.

He suddenly raised a package up with a frown.

"Aren't I permitted to visit an employee?" He asked and my heart thuds fast as sweat beads on my head.

Kian and I locked eyes as he exhaled and said;

It's the weekend and I don't like surprise guest" he pointed out while I ducked my head, curious to know what's in the package bag.

Caleb scoffed unbelievably, I doubt if he got any strength in him after driving a long distance here.

This is the calmest he can be. He sniffed his nose and pulled me with him towards the dinning table.

This wasn't his house and he shouldn't be behaving this way. I drew my hand from him and pant heavily.

I threw my gaze at Kian and I saw him drawing closer to the dining table. He was annoyed but has to keep up to Caleb's nuisance.

I studied these two and they were glaring at themselves. Caleb brought out a bottle of whiskey from the package bag on placed it on the table.

He gestured to me to get some glass cups, I was hesitant for a while but then I quickly got three glass cups and returned.

"Do you go on to prepare meals to anyone that calls you pretty?" He muses staring at the mini pot of chowder.

I eyed him as his aura was already ruining the mood.

"She does it for special people, I presume you're not on the list" Kian replied with a cold gaze at him that I gasped.

No, this is bad. He barely tame Caleb's pride but it seems he was fed up already.

Caleb scoffed while I pretended not be in their midst. I placed the glass cup at everyone's end and intended to take my plate and serve myself but Caleb pulled it from my hand.

"But we've fucked, at least I own her body" Caleb bragged and my soul left me. My hands were trembling where I sat.

I felt so embarrassed and returned a glare at Caleb who smirked at him.

"And each time, she begs me not to stop..."

"Stop!" I screamed hating this moment, how can he embarrass me in this manner? He always force himself on me.
