Chapter 6″ Being ignored

“What is this?” Aaron frowned as he stared at the cup in front of him.

“It’s coffee, sir. Your favorite espresso,” the man who had brought the coffee replied gingerly.

He was none other than Enock Hastings, Aaron’s assistant who had just returned from New York where he had gone to oversee the Wentworth branch.

“You call this coffee? I see your taste has changed after spending time in another region,” Aaron narrowed his eyes.

Enock’s stomach turned when he saw the look in his boss’s eyes. He didn’t know what was wrong with Aaron but he had been in a bad mood for the past five days.

He reached his hand forth and got the cup. “Let me bring you another cup.”

“It’s fine. Tell Tessa to make me one.” Aaron said absentmindedly. It was only after the words had left him that he realised what he had said. 1

The space between his eyebrows creased. ‘Why would I think about her when she’s left already?”

Enock was stumped.

“Do you mean Miss Nora, Sir? Miss Tessa no longer works for the company.”

A surge of annoyance flashed through Aaron. He didn’t expect Tessa to forget about him so quickly.

Just after she cashed the cheque, there has been no call or text from her. Aaron knew the money he gave her was enough for her to not look for a job but still, he thought she would cling to him for a while before he could.

get rid of her completely.

It appeared to him that he was being ignored after she took his money.

‘She already got what she was aiming for so why would she cling to me?’ He scoffed and dismissed Enock.

“From now on, don’t bring me coffee,” he proclaimed. It would be better to avoid everything that reminded him.

of that woman.

Enock looked confused but he nodded anyway. “Noted, Sir.”

Aaron spent the rest of the morning approving and disapproving proposed projects. The group was diversifying and he needed to give his signature to authorise the funding of these projects that aimed at the

growth of the company.

An undetermined amount of time passed when Enock knocked on Aaron’s office door.

“Come in,” Aaron called out, looking at the door.

Enock opened a cra ck and poked his head through. “Sir, Miss Winston is on her way up.”

Aaron frowned as something flashed through his eyes.

“Tell her I’m not in the office.”

Ignore

“She’s already here, sir,” Enock whisper-yelled and someone suddenly pushed the door harshly, making him almost fall on his face since he was leaning on it.”

“Aaron, I’ve come to have lunch with you.” A coquettish female voice reached Aaron’s ears and a flash of irritation surged within him.

He didn’t understand his reactions though. Why would Serena Irritate him? He loved her, right?

He forced a smile at her and dismissed Enock with his hand.

“You didn’t have to. I’m quite busy today,” he responded flatly.
