Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 28

"You need to tell him to stop coming over," his voice was hard, it could scrape against stones,

It didn't take her up to a moment to figure what he meant. God, she was too tired for this,

"Westley?" She asked, just to be sure..

"Yeah, damn right. Westley! He's out there and I'm sure he's here to pick you up. I don't want him coming to my company all the time, Sylvie. So you need to have a little talk with him and tell him to stay away "Kage, please. It isn't like he comes in or anything. There's nothing wrong with it."

"Oh, but there's everything wrong with him coming into my company. It's my company, Sylvie. Don't fucking argue with me" Now, she was offended.

"You keep talking like I'm hopeless. Don't forget that I'm here against my will, Kage. If you wouldn't mind, let me work from my own company! I'm sick of your rules already"

"Well, it's my money, my rules. If you aren't cool with it, you know what to do."

He stormed out of the room, leaving Sylvie's anger simmering to a boil. She couldn't mask how furious she was as she joined Westley in the car. "Hey, what happened in there? You cool?" Westley questioned.

Im fine. Just drive.

Some minutes into the driver and Westley was able to cheer he up a bit.

"What about my proposal? Given it a thought yet?" He asked, only when he was sure it was safe to.

"Not yet, I'm still thinking about it" Sylvie replied.

Using his free hand that wasn't holding the steering wheel, he reached for hers, enveloping it in his.

"I hope I do get a reply soon. It isn't easy being close to you and knowing you're not mine yet Smiling at him, she caressed his hand holding hers. "Very soon, you'll get an answer. I promise. A WEEK LATER.

Sylvie hurried into Fluxpoint, trying not to make it obvious of course, that she was hurrying.

She was late - very late. And she knew Kage would have her head for it. It wasn't exactly her fault; she'd overslept. She turned off her alarm when it rang because she was still very dizzy. She ended up waking up two hours late - the latest she's ever had to wake up. There wasn't enough time to fix something for breakfast, except for a cup of coffee. Her stomach was rumbling, she knew it was only a matter of time before it becomes unbearable.
