Torn Between The Carter Brothers

Chapter 84

Addison

“What’s stopping you from accepting the job?” Gregg asked as he regarded me from across his cup of coffee. We had both decided to meet up at a small coffee shop right after he went to drop his kids off at school. I had explained in vague details about how I ended up hearing Zane out and he ended up asking me to become his assistant but I was still skeptical about accepting it.

I heaved a soft sigh. “I- I don’t know…” I mumbled as I trailed off while glancing down at my cold pancakes. I wasn’t sure if I could tell Gregg the truth, that I was scared that should I accept this job, I’ll only grow more attracted to him and should he make a move on me, I’ll be unable to resist him. The thought of that alone was making my head spin while my heartbeat accelerated. And aside from that, there was also another problem. Marco would never let me work as Zane’s assistant no matter what, and I was unsure of how I’d navigate that.

“Is this because you’re attracted to him?” Gregg asked just as I began to dip on my orange juice and I ended up choking on it while coughing hard. He arched a brow at me as I slowly calmed down, then he leaned forward as he rolled his eyes.

“What? You think I didn’t notice?” He demanded and I was too stunned to speak. Granted I had a feeling he had a little idea, but I didn’t expect him to lay it out on me like this.

I cleared my throat and began to speak. “I’m not…”

He cut me off with a wave of his head. “There’s no use denying it, Addi. It was quite obvious two nights ago at my house.” He drawled before leaning back in his seat and clicked his tongue and I felt my cheeks colored a little.

“The tension between you two back there was so thick, I could almost smell it in the air.” He added as a grin tugged at his lips and my face flamed again, my heart still beating fast. I stared over at Gregg’s face, gauging his reaction right now. I wasn’t sure he had figured out that we had both fucked and i guess that was a very good thing, cause I was certain he wouldn’t be smiling right now if he knew.

“You’re not mad?” I asked tentatively as I pushed my food around on my plate.

“Honestly? Not really. Zane is easy to develop a crush on, I’ve witnessed it happen a bunch of times after all.” He drawled as he chuckled a little and I was certain he wasn’t lying cause that both attended school together.

“However, I wasn’t sure I’ve ever witnessed a situation whereby he seemed to be entranced by the girl as well.” He commented as he sipped his coffee again and I felt my heart jump in my throat as my eyes widened a little.

“You’re probably mistaken.” I ended up telling him while I tried to still my racing heart. Zane was entranced by me? That was the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard all week.

You didn’t see the way he looked at you when you weren’t looking. It was… intense.” He pointed
