Chapter 43 - Jealous (1/2)

Meredith widened her eyes, she wasn't expecting him to be this honest with her.

”Oh…it's okay! I only came because I couldn't say no to your grandfather.” Meredith let out a chuckle. This was easy than she had thought.

”So, who is the lucky girl? I assume your grandfather doesn't know yet?”

Alex blushed and nodded, ”I'm afraid he wouldn't accept her. She is a waitress and you know how it is in the high society...”

Meredith furrowed her brows. ”Well, you would never know until you introduce her to your grandfather. Trust me, your grandfather would accept her. He wants you to be happy.” Meredith reached out and patted his hands

”Family approval is important in relationships. If you plan on marrying her then the earlier you introduce her to your grandfather the better. ”

”But what if he doesn't agree?” Alex asked with a frown

”Then you plan your next move. Whether you're going to let her go or not. But honestly, I think your grandfather would accept her. Just let him know how happy she makes you. Your happiness is his number one priority.” Meredith said with enthusiasm.

Alex nodded, ”Alright! If he agrees I would invite you to our wedding!” Alex said, causing Meredith to laugh out loud.

A smile also grew on his face, ”Let's go, shall we?”

Meredith nodded and stood up. Picking her bag, she walked out of the restaurant with Alex.

”I had a good time today. Thank you.” Alex said as he pulled Meredith into a hug, planting a kiss on her cheeks.

Meredith gaze bore into a cold, hard glare of Atlas Martini and she stiffened.

He was standing with Albert beside him. .

Meredith smiled awkwardly and pulled away from Alex. Alex also saw Atlas the moment, he pulled away from Meredith.

He nodded at him slightly and turned to Meredith, ”I already have your number. I would update you after I talk to my grandfather.”

Meredith smiled at him, ”Alright.”

”I should go before Mr. Martini kills me with his eyes.” Alex teased.

Meredith look at Atlas and saw him glaring, openly furious.

Meredith let out an awkward laugh and blushed, ”Alright.”

******

Atlas could hear the blood ringing in his head. She really went on the date. He watched as he pulled her into a hug and planted a kiss on her cheeks. Anger spiraled from the pit of his stomach.

His hands dropped to his sides to form a clenched fist. His hands were on her back as he said something which made her smile. She looked so beautiful in that floral dress of hers.

Atlas looked away. Trying to calm down his raging heart.

”Yo Atlas, what is wrong with you?” Albert frowned.

”You look like you want to commit mass murder right now.”

Adrenaline rushed through him and unfamiliar feeling sprout in his chest.

”Nothing.” He glared at Meredith who was across the streets.

Albert followed his gaze and saw Meredith talking to a guy.

”Oh it's Meredith. Let's say hi.”

Atlas clenched his jaw to stop himself from looking at her.

”No.”

Albert grinned smugly.

Look at you, Atlas. Are you fucking jealous?”

”Don't be stupid,” Atlas snapped at Albert.

”Just admit it, Atlas. Look how fucked up you're right now.”

Albert laughed and wrapped his hands around Atlas's shoulder.

”You have fallen for your secretary?”

Atlas stiffened when he heard Albert.

Love? He snorted.
