Chapter 104
All the stress she’d been carrying these past few days finally boiled over with his rejection []
Cassian frowned. Tm not joking. Can we focus on the issue at hand?–[]
Sonia let out a hite
let out a bitter laugh. “You rally want to have this conversation standing in my doorway?
He’s so protective of that woman now that he won’t even be alone in a room with me
Cassian anticed she was only wearing a robe, which wasn’t appropriate for a public hallway conversation. Plus, she was a public figure.
So he stepped inside
Jenny saw this and quietly retreated, giving them privacy |
A man and woman alone together–surely something will happen
Men are visual creatures after all |
Sonia’s beautiful, innocent–looking, with a great body, and they used to have chemistry]
This has to be the perfect setup
ap for things in
to heat up |
Jenny figured Cassian was just being stubborn because Sonia had gone away for training, so hed found some random woman to make her jealous
Once Sonda sweet–talked him a linde, that other woman would be history||
-With Cassian’s protection, everything would work out perfectly
Jenny felt relieved thinking about it]
But her calculations were completely wrong.
After entering, Cassian left the door open and called to Jenny. “You’re her manager—you should handle this properly. Come in and let’s discuss the best approach.
Sonia’s face went blank, speechless
Was Cassian really that oblivious, or was he deliberately avoiding being alone with her?||
She’d been planning to..
“Cassian, this is pretty sensitive. Maybe Jenny shouldn’t…-)
“If sue can’t handle a basic crisis like this, I’d suggest you find a new manager,” Cassian said coolly
Tine, then just leave. Why did you even coune? 11 handle my own problems,” Sonia snapped, throwing a tantrusi
She was acting like a girlfriend having a fight with her boyfriend
Usually when the acted like this, Cassian would give in and comfort her
but now he just frowned deeper, dearly annoyed
jay panarked shit, he’s actually pissed
say things you don’t meant Mr. Khodes rushed over the second he heard you were in trouble. Don’t be ridiculous. He’s right–Il handle this
shot Sonia a warning look, signaling her Go back down
This seas not due time to pack a fight with Cassian–it would only push him further away |
anger shed make that batch charlotte pay for every bit of handlition she was suffering:[]
Finally spoke quietly!!
læres feeling like someone’s been watching me for days. Today today they followed me all the way to my building..
Cassian’s expression darkened as he turned to Jenny. “Did you call the police?”
Jenny nodded quickly. “Yes, they said they’d increase patrols in the area, but they haven’t caught anyone yet“]
Cassian nodded and pulled out his phone to make a
“Philips, arrange for two bodyguards immediately. Twenty–four–hour protection for Sonia.”
His assistant’s respectful voice came through the phone. “Yes, Mr. Rhodes. Il arrange it right away.
After hanging up, Cassian looked at Sonia with calm authority. “Don’t go out alone for the next few days. Wait until the bodyguards arrive. If anything else happens, contact Philips directly.”
Meaning Philips would be handing this from now on.
Sonia bit her lip, disappointment and resentment flashing in her eyes.]
