Chapter 286 - Fake girlfriend (6) (2/2)
Aiden frowned. ”You said that you don't care if people find out.” He protested that she moved away.
”Oh... ” Sarah paused for few seconds. ”I forgot. Sorry.” She leaned on the backrest, and his palm settled back on her shoulder.
Aiden grinned and inched closer to her. ”Now, next one is a kiss.”
”Don't push it!” Sarah scolded him.
Bridgette giggled watching two of them interact.
…
Up in the CEO's office, Jeff was all fidgety.
”Do you want to go downstairs?” Steve sighed.
”Yes! Come with me.” Jeff could not stay in the office anymore. He knows that JoAnna will come soon, and he can't wait in his office.
”Me also?” Why would boss get him into these matters? He would rather avoid this sticky situation, and watch from the distance, or later just listen to gossip.
”You are my assistant... so assist me.” Jeff ordered.
…
Downstairs, quite a crowd gathered. Lounging area was full.
”Good thing I came here early and saved us a spot.” Sarah was proud of herself.
”There is Martha”, Bridgette observed Martha surrounded by a bunch of gossipy ladies. ”Do you think she will do something?”
”Hmm... Jeff is here also.” Aiden noticed Jeff coming out of the elevator.
”Well, Martha needs to do something now.” Sarah commented. ”Even without Anna showing up, there is quite an audience and Martha standing on the side will only confirm that she is a liar. She will be forced to make a move. Either way, she is doomed.” Sarah giggled.
”I'm quite excited to see what will happen.” Bridgette fidgeted.
Aiden didn't care much about that show. If it was him, he would just confront that impostor and tell in front of everyone that he does not know her and that she can only dream about being his woman. But he will stay there, because it's the first time in work setting that Sarah let him come so close to her and hold his hand on her shoulder. He scooted closer to Sarah and their hips touched. He was happy.
Sarah didn't seem to notice how giddy Aiden is next to her. She was busy watching Martha, making sure not to miss anything.
In the corner of the lounging area, Alexander, from Sarah's team in charge of security was observing Sarah and Aiden. He shook his head lightly while smirking. 'And she does not want to admit that she is with him? Look at him holding her… and she does not mind…' Alexander was upset that when he asked her if she is dating Aiden, she avoided responding, and now they are openly showing that they are together.
…
Martha is surrounded with women who are giving her advices what to do and guessing what will Jeff do. When they saw Jeff coming out of the elevator, they started encouraging Martha to go and walk to him.
”See? He is here for you. Go to him.”
”He is waiting for you.”
Martha felt like hyperventilating... then she got a thought: What if he is there for her? Maybe, just maybe he is there for her? But she is not woman in photos... She looks like her enough so that people believe that is her... Noisy women interrupted her thoughts.
”Go and talk to him...”
”You are making him wait...”
”Such a handsome man will not wait for long...”
They ended up pushing her towards him, and Martha started walking towards Jeff. All eyes were on her, except for Jeff's who was looking for his phone.
