Chapter 18 Her Lips on His



Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Her Lips on His

Kelly’s POV

I stopped when I almost bumped into Pierce as I was about to enter the meeting room. Our gazes met and my heart instantly raced. His serious face immediately softened after he saw me.

“Kel—”

“Good morning, Mr. Anderson.”

His lips parted. I never called him that as everyone in the company knew we were best friends. But starting today, the line needed to be drawn.

I walked past him and went straight to my usual chair whenever we had a meeting. From the corner of my eyes, I saw him looking at me and instead of going out, he went back to his chair which was just beside mine.

“Can we talk later?” He asked as he looked at my face.

I glanced at the employee who was putting documents on the table. Her hands slowed down because of what Pierce said.

“I have another meeting after this, Mr. Anderson.”

“Just...five minutes?”

I lazily looked at him and didn’t answer immediately. I waited for the female employee to leave before I faced him completely.

“We already talked. I told you to give me a year—”

“Then, why did you come last night?”

I was taken aback. He misunderstood everything. He thought I was staying for what happened at his door last night. He still had no idea what a horrible night I’d been through last night. Someone filmed me naked and he was clueless as fck.

Instead of answering him, my eyes landed on the rings on his finger.

“Why are you still wearing those rings?”

“I didn’t regret marrying you, Kelly. You are part of my life and so are these rings.”

I looked him in the eyes. “If I were Lexi, I wouldn’t allow you to wear someone else’s ring.”

He clenched his jaws. “You’re not just someone else.”

I looked away and answered with sarcasm, “Yeah. I am one of your treasures.”

“Why do you want me to leave you alone? I’m worried about you, Kelly. The man who followed you in the parking lot hasn’t been caught—”

“I’ll deal with it myself,” I cut him off as I put my pen on the table.

“Kels, we’re—”

"We’re already divorced, Mr. Anderson." I looked at him coldly, “And the meeting is important, just let it be.”

He was rendered speechless and I signaled my assistant to bring others in.

I didn’t wanna waste time. What happened last night was enough to sober me up.

He said he’s not dating Lexi but I caught them together in his house. She was wearing his t-shirt and they looked like they just fcked.

I would never fall for his words anymore.

*** Pierce’s POV

I didn’t know what to do.

Kelly kept on avoiding me and she’s asking me to leave her alone for a year. How could I fcking do that?

I felt like I’d lose my mind whenever she was mad at me. My mind would be in chaos.

I couldn’t stop thinking about her because I knew I was guilty. I brought her into this situation. I was the one to blame. I shouldn’t have married her in the first place.

However, I couldn’t deny that she made me happy in our marriage.

The meeting started and ended when I kept on glancing at her but even once, she didn’t throw a glance at me. I felt miserable. She was my best friend and I was losing her.

I never wanted to lose Kelly but I didn’t wanna give up on Lexi. I’d been in love with her since high school. I just didn’t understand why I had to let Kelly go just because I wanted to be happy with Lexi.

I was a mess. I didn’t like this but I couldn’t do anything.

After the meeting, I silently watched Kelly as she walked confidently towards her office. I didn’t know why I had a bad feeling. Since last night, I felt like I missed something very important. And that, was the reason why she was angry with me.

“Luke!” I called Luke who was standing in front of Kelly’s office after she entered.

“Sir...”

I clenched my jaw and glanced at Kelly inside her office through the glass door. When I looked at Luke again, I felt irritated.

“What happened last night?”

He bowed his head, “I apologize, Mr. Anderson. I couldn’t tell you.”

“What?” I growled at him. I balled my fists and moved a little closer. “She was my wife, Luke. And she’s my best friend. I deserve to know what’s happening to her.”

“I’m sorry, sir.”

I hung up the phone furiously and dropped my body on the swivel chair. I started massaging my forehead while squeezing my eyes when a pair of warm hands caressed my shoulders.

I jumped and looked at Lexi who was standing beside me.

She immediately kissed my cheek as she smiled, “You seem stressed.”

I looked away. How could I tell Kelly that she misunderstood us last night? Wait, was she angry because of it?

Was she acting like this because she felt like I was lying to her when I told her I was not dating Lexi?

That was the truth.

Lexi and I weren’t in a relationship although we had a mutual understanding. However, that was all. Nothing happened last night.

I was about to take a shower last night when Lexi came. She accidentally spilled water on her clothes so she borrowed mine. I was fixing my belt because just like what I said, I was about to take a shower.

I feel like it was the reason why Kelly is angry so I gently pushed Lexi and pulled myself up. She was calling my name but I was determined to talk to Kelly, apologize, and explain to her.

However, I felt like the world fell upon me when I saw Luke in front of her swivel chair. His left hand was pressed on the table while his other hand was on Kelly’s cheek.

Something inside me seemed to explode as I realized what they were doing. They were fcking kissing!

H-Her lips were on someone else’s lips...
