My Husband’s Hot Boss novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7

*Harry Pov*

I knot my tie absentminded as I checked my reflection in the mirror.

My mind wasn’t at rest at all. Scarlett would be getting married this week and honestly, it hurts.

I really do love her or I loved her but a part of me still loves her.

I still have feelings for her and that is the most annoying part. After everything have done for her, this is how she choose to pay me back.

I cared for her. She was the first girl I have ever cherished and loved sincerely.

It hurts she decided to leave me. She wants money, I would have given the whole world to her because am crazily in love with her but she choose to go after my dad.

Who does that?

*Scarlett^* my subconscious answered for me and I furrowed my brows.

I heard a knock on the door. “Come in”

Chloe strolled in and started talking immediately “Scarlett is getting married this week. Gosh, I still find it hard to believe......Dad is officially an enemy.”

“Even if he is getting married, must it be to my ex-girlfriend? Well, it's fine. But am not attending the wedding”

“That for sure...” Chloe nodded.

I checked the time on my phone, it was 7:21 am. I carried my briefcase and faced Chloe.

“Will be going to work now...” I informed her.

“Okay, bro. Try to not think about it okay..”

“Sure I won’t “

I made to leave the room. “Oh, Harry...” she called.

“Yeah...?”

“What do you think of Camille?”

“Who is that?” I feign ignorance.

“The lady you hit her car. Remember? I saw the way you looked at her and honestly, I think you guys would look cute together”

“Don’t...try to matchmake me with anyone”

‘Not with a married woman I had a nightstand with* I added inwardly.

“Ladies are out of my dictionary now,” I told her and she pouted.

“But.....’

“No buts, ...am off to work now” And with that, I walked out of the room.

********

Roughly 20 minutes later, I was seated on my chair in my office, a Bluetooth device pinned on my ear to take any calls as I went through the flies.

I noticed there are a lot of unfinished works so I put a call across to my secretary, Avery.

She came in two minutes later.

“Sir” she bowed.

I showed her a file. “Who is working on this and why is it so disorganized and not completed?”

She glanced at it closely. “Erm, Asher Lopez”

“Where is he?” I asked, hating myself for his wife came to my mind.

‘Get it off your mind, Harry!” My subconscious warned.

“He is not yet at work”

I frowned as I glanced at the time on my watch. “Call him now. I don’t appreciate tardiness”

“Will do that now...” she retorted and left my office in a hurry.

I closed my eyes and opened them back as I remembered the night. The night I had sex with a stranger.

Oh damn! Why can’t I stop thinking about it?

Why must she turn out to be my employee’s wife?

“If she isn’t married, would you have gone for her?’ my subconscious questioned.

“Get out of my head!” I said and chuckled knowing I sound and look ridiculous right now.

The fact Asher is working under me makes me feel really guilty. If only I can turn back the hands of time.

Maybe I shouldn’t have gone to a club that night. I wanted something to distract me from the unpleasant news of my ex-girlfriend getting married to my dad.

But something I never expected happened. It's a good thing I acted I don’t know her.

It's for the best. For the both of us.

“Concentrate on your work. Work only. Don’t think about anything else” I muttered to myself and opened my laptop.

*Camile pov*

The sound of the door opening woke me up. I groaned and saw Asher’s figure in front of me.

I can’t believe I slept on the floor overnight.

“Get out! I need to take my bath” he seems to be in a rush.

‘’Good morning to you too’’ I said dryly.

He rolled his eyes and spoke. “Just Get the fuck out, am late for work already’’

I just nodded and said nothing. I slowly got up, my waist hurting a bit, and dragged myself out of the bathroom. The door went shut immediately. I sigh tiredly and climb on the bed and closed my eyes.

My eyes fluttered open when I heard footsteps. I watch as Asher hurriedly dressed and carried his briefcase.

‘’Am off” he announced and left the room immediately.
