Chapter 44 - Dirty Little Secret (1/2)

Atlas entered the Blue bar at 7:00pm to meet Albert and Adam. He knew Albert was going to ask him about what happened this afternoon.

They have been friends for years and always share everything from their kinks, relationships, work and anything in their life but for once Atlas didn't want to share what was going on with Meredith with him.

It was their little dirty secret and he wasn't going to tell anyone.

”Hy Adam.” Atlas greeted Adam when he reached their box. His head was lowered watching some video on his phone.

Adam looked up from his phone, ”Hy Atlas.”

Atlas took a sit and grabbed a beer from the table in front of them.

”Where is Albert?” Atlas asked taking a sip of his beer.

”At the bar.”

Atlas glance over and saw Albert flirting with a woman at the bar. His hands were on the woman's thighs and he said something which caused the woman to blush.

Atlas rolled his eyes. Albert was a fucking playboy. Every hole he wants to enter. He was pretty good with words so the women always fell for his charms.

”I know one day he is going to catch an STI.” Atlas commented dryly.

Adam chuckled and shook his head. ”I know he likes Sofia. I just don't understand why he keeps playing around with all these women when he could ask her out.”

Atlas raised his brows, ”Sofia and Albert? I thought they hated each other.”

Anytime Sofia and Adams met they were always fighting over something, even the stupidest thing. Atlas was shocked to learn this information.

”There is a thin line between hate and love, Atlas.” Adam shrugged.

Albert arrived back at the table with a scotch in his hand.

”Hey, Atlas. You came. I thought you were going to chase your secretary.” He said as he sat down.

Adam arched a questioning eyebrow in Atlas's direction.

Atlas glared at Albert who just smirked at him.

”Meredith? Sofia's friend?” Adam asked.

”Bingo. Exactly her. She has Atlas wrapped around her fingers and he doesn't even know yet. You should have seen how jealous he looked today when he saw her with another guy.”

Albert threw his head back and laughed, ”Oh it was so interesting to see the Almighty Atlas Martini jealous.”

”Shut up!” Atlas snapped at him.

Adam took a sip of his beer, an unknown emotion fleeting in his eyes.

”What happened to your rules?” Adam murmured.

”Meredith Rossi happened.” Albert grinned.

”I thought you were in control Atlas. She was supposed to be a game, remember?”

Atlas sighed and looked away, ignoring Albert. He knew what he was saying was true. Even if he wouldn't admit it loud, he had been jealous when he had seen her with Alex today. But why…why was he jealous? The feeling was so unfamiliar and uncomfortable.

Albert and Adam glanced at each other.

”Atlas….” Adam paused, ”Are you perhaps falling for your secretary?”

Atlas stiffened at his question. Was he falling in love with her?
