The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 47

Chapter 47: Meeting again

Anya needed not telling who it was. His gaze threatened to burn a hole through her. She just did not understand why he was staring so much. She had regretted taking on this project. But as time went on, she regretted it even more.

James saw that Daniel could not keep his eyes off Anya; it was as though he wished to burn at hole through her being. He knew his friend was hurt, but there was nothing that could be done at this point but take things slowly. If he kept staring at her, so many people would start to notice. He cleared his throat, pulling Daniel from his daze.

Daniel couldn't help himself. He had never really looked at Anya well all through their marriage. He was only now discovering that she was so beautiful. He felt lost when he lost her, but as he looked at her now, it was as though he was tasting the first nectar of love. But no matter how much he looked, his Anya refused to look his way. The more she ignored him, the more his frustration grew.

But his frustration extended past her indifference. He could not help but notice that Anya was quite close to Stanley. He leaned into her too often; it was an eyesore. He was not the only one who noticed this; James had already noticed their closeness. Even though they were not dating, they were obviously friends. It did not help that Stanley had this rare, soft look in his eyes when he looked at Anya. James could feel the mood of the person beside him dip dangerously.

"So, Mr. Forest, how do you and Miss Jones know each other?" James asked.

"We went to the same university," Stanley answered.

"Oh, boss, you knew Anya all this while, and you did not introduce us?" Someone asked Stanley, which led to a barrage of questions from his staff.

"Boss, you know I have been a fan this long; how could you do this to me?"

""How did you keep a straight face all this while? another asked.

"We missed our plane last year to see an exhibit in Paris, and you did not even say anything. You entered the plane and left us behind."

She had thought she had grown courage, but it seems she was wrong. She was as much in love with this man as she was afraid. This fear kept her in line throughout their marriage. As much as her love for him had grown cold, it seems she was still somewhat afraid. She congratulated herself for not letting anything
