Loving My Boyfriend's Best Friend Chapter 44

"Yes, I missed your fatty little face." She cupped his cheeks.

"Oh, forgot to introduce you. Chloe meet Elena. Elena meet Chloe."

"Hey." I shook hands with her.

"And she's my fiancée." Shawn blurted out and damn my face was as hot as a boiling kettle.

"Your what?" I asked again.

"Shawn what are you saying?" Chloe spoke weirdly.

"Chloe," He rubbed her thumbs, "I knew you said you don't want the public to know about it but...She's a friend you know."

"She is? How come I've never seen her?" She scans me fully.

"Wait a minute," She pauses, trying to remember something.

"Isn't she your ex who cheated on you, back then?"

"Oh...you got it right. She did." He nods, smirking.

The moment was weird for me. I felt like running to the bathroom right now and cry the rain.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Elena. I didn't mean it that way. I was just trying to remember. Please believe me." Chloe apologized.

"Seriously, don't bother. I mean...It's all in the past now. It means nothing to me." I shrugged.

It still had a great effect on me, seeing that everyone saw me as the bad person here and that's not true. I try to believe that everyday, that I only fought for what my heart wanted and I did nothing wrong but why am I still hurt by her words?

I was about leaving the office, giving both couples space but Shawn stopped me.

"Elena, sorry, Mrs. Styles, we aren't done here."

"Oh, yeah..." I shut the door back. I just want to escape this moment.

"Yeah...This place is so dirty and gosh.."

"Umm. the cleaner will get this done soon." I say.

"Um..no. I don't know the cleaner. I know you.'

I scoff. "What do you mean?"

"You clean it. Clean the bad deeds. Let's see if those stains would come off."

"Pardon?"

"Oh, I mean..the stains of alcohol off my desk."

"Oh, right."

"Carry on."

"Right now?" I ask.

"Yes, sure." Oh god, I just want a pinch.

I went to get the cleaning items and started washing off the stains and clearing the office but their voice was distracting. What were they even talking about?

Shawn's pov

Elena...was everything to me. Nothing else mattered but now I just want her to deeply regret the things she did to me. I want her to face what I faced for the past few months. I wallowed in depression.

"Shawn...please calm down and take your pills." Chloe pleaded.

"No, no! I can't do this. She left me. I saw them at their wedding! She really left me."

Yeah, Shawn was at their wedding.

"I want her back. I'm going to get her back, I promise."

"You will. You will." Chloe was his therapist.

*********

"Why did you lie to her?" Chloe asked me.

"Lie about what?" I asked like i didn't know what she was getting at.

"Oh, don't act like you don't know what i'm saying? Us being engaged?"

"Oh, you really look pretty in this dress!" I spoke as i saw Elena's eyes diverting to us.

"It's just for a short while. Just play along."

"But i don't want to. Not this way."

I grabbed her wrist and pierced my finger into her skin.

"Ouch...Shawn..." She groaned in pains.

"Oh, Chloe. I'm sorry. I won't touch you here, I promise." He said through gritted teeth.

"PLAY ALONG, CHLOE. DON'T RUIN THIS."

I clear my throat and smile.

"Um..Mrs. Styles, are you done yet?" I ask.

"Almost down, Shawn." She replied.

"Um...you have to start getting used to calling me boss or the other workers will think we have something together and i don't want them to see Chloe has....you get what i mean right?"

"Yes...yes..I'm so sorry, Bo..ss."

"Okay, I'll be back in a few minutes. I just want to see her off."

"Bye, Elena. Hope we meet some other time." Chloe says.

"Sure." I smiled weakly.

I buried my face on the table as they walked out of the office. Today was the worst.

After I the stressed day at work, I went home. The maids helped in taking my coat and bag to my room while I fall tiredly on the sofa. It's been a rough week and now i'm becoming not just a personal assistant but also a cleaner. What else will I become?

"Ma'am, Mr.Styles is waiting for you in his room. Said it's urgent." One of the servants spoke to me.

"Okay,....you're new here, right?" I asked the young lady who looked nervous in front of me.

"Ye..s ma'am." She stuttered.

"Your name?"

"Anabelle, ma'am."

"Okay, Anabelle. Please stop calling me ma'am. It's so uncomfortable. Just call me by my name." She nodded as i stood up and went to meet Harry in his room. What is he up to now?

I open the door seeing flowers decorated on the floor, waiting for me to follow it's route to the balcony. Dishes of different varieties are set on a glass table. I could see Harry drinking a glass of wine.

"I've been waiting, El." He smiles, gesturing me to take a seat.

"Harry, what's all this?" I asked, looking surprised.

"What does it look like? I want to have a nice time with my wife and also we're celebrating. Go ahead and eat. You must be famished." He speaks.

"Harry, what are we celebrating?" I ask, wondering what it could be.

"Your new boss."

I looked shocked to hear Harry's excitement about my new boss. What is going on? Did he know it's Shawn cause everything is just weird to me.

"My new boss? Did you know who he is?" I ask.

"It's a he? Well, my manager did all the paper work but that doesn't matter. At least no one is trying to steal my wife from me." He caresses my hands.

"No one is stealing your wife, Mr Styles. She has a protector."

"Yes, she does but they can't just resist you, especially what you got down there." He pulls me closer to him, he's hands on my ass.
