Chapter 98

Chapter 98 My hand hesitated before reaching for the handle but | grasped it firmly, feelin cold metal press against the

skin of my palm, before | turned it simultaneously taking in a breath. The second that | had pushed open that door, Dante’s head had snapped up to look at who ever it had been that dared to interrupt him in such a harsh

manner. His face was unreadable even as he took all of me in from the top of my head to the tipText property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

of the shoes that | had been wearing. His eyes assessed me at his leisure and | couldn’t fathom what had possibly been going through his mind.

| saw him blink a few times trying to figure out if he had been imagining what he was seeing or if | was actually standing in the door way of his study. There had been a voice coming from the monitor on front of him and, by the sound of how stern and proper that person had been speaking, | knew that Dante was currently in a meeting of some sort.

Shit. | shouldn’t have just barged on here in such an uncooth manner. Dante read the regret on my face and parted his lips just as | took a step back. His eyes shifted from me to the monitor.

“| need to leave. We will continue this meeting later.” Dante said abruptly before pressing a single button that sent the monitor silent.

| found my legs and began moving further in to his office which only caused Dante to clench his jaw before he rose from his leather arm chair. He shrugged of his blazer with out so much as removing his gaze from my face before popping open the buttons on his collar then rolling his sleeves up to his elbows.

ask at hand.

He was not the most pleased to see me but that came as no surprise to me whatsoever. After all, he did have many wrong assumptions and notions that he believed it so he was bound to be a bear until he was willing to give me a hearing.

“Can't | stop by to see you?” | asked but he did not appreciate my nonchalance neither was he in the mood for it. | let out a sigh but didn’t allow my shoulders to slump. “You have not been taking any of my calls, Dante. | tried getting a hold of you multiple times and nothing.” | jogged his memory and by the look on his face he had been

Dante leaned forward planting the palms of his hands flat against the gloss finish of the wooden desk top. He looked at me right in the eyes with such a sharp glare that it might as well has pinned me to the spot.

“Take a hint.” Was his cold, nearly harsh response.

“For your sake, | am going to ignore that.” | needed to remain calm because at least one of us had to and it was definitely not going to be Dante right now.

“Shouldn't you be off some where with Scott Vanderbilt while he promises you sweet nothings and you fall for it despite your claims of professionalism?” His words exited his mouth with the intent to lash at me and lick at the doors of my fury.

Dante’s eyes flashed with anger and jealousy as he watched me with a hard look in his orbs that would have send any one else crumbling to the floor.

“If you would have taken my calls then you would have known otherwise.” | couldn’t help the snarky way that had come out but Dante scoffed mockingly.

“So | could waste my time and hear you claim self righteousness? | would rather not.” He lips pressed together to form a thin line and he raised a brow at me.

| should have known that this was going to be one hell of a hard conversation to have because Dante could be so hard headed and annoying at times and if he decided that he was not cooperating then that was the end of that.

“Scott Vanderbilt is out of the picture!” | nearly yelled at him so it got through his thick skull. “For goodness sake, the man was never ever in the picture to begin with.” Dante let out a breath through his lips before he grunted and look away like he didn’t believe a word | said.

“| can’t believe | cancelled my meeting to listen to more of your lies.” | grit my teeth together quickly beginning to reach my wit’s end with him and just shy from exploding.

“The official statement is yet to be released but Scott is no longer a part of my company and neither is he associated with it moving forward. | handed him the supporting documents yesterday.” | had to keep my voice an octave higher so that he would listen to me and that my words would register in his head cutting through his anger.

Dante was speechless for a few long moments. His eyes were withdrawn and his lips parted slightly like he

couldn’t believe what | was telling him.

“But that is not why | am here for, Dante.” | said in a softer tone which had him meet my gaze again.

| saw the question in them, the confusion, and also a hint of satisfaction. Dante rounded his desk until he leaned his hip against the end of the counter top. He crossed his muscular arms over the broad expanse of his chest before looking at me with a pinned stare.

“Then what are you here for exactly?” He almost interrogated me and | knew that he was trying to unnerve me with his closeness.

“lam here to clear the air between us once and for all but that is only some thing that’s possible if you agree to cooperate otherwise | am merely wasting both of out time showing up here.” | met his gaze as fiercely as | could not allowing him to bully me in to a corner.

If what Jessica had said was true then Dante would be able to look past his male ego and work with me here.

“| didn’t think the air was contaminated to begin with.” The man was incorrigible!

“Contradictory since you were avoiding me and my calls for days now. | can’t imagine you just do that to people for no reason.” | shot back raising a challenging brow at him.

“lam not her to argue with you and | am quotey frankly tired of this back of forth. I’m only here because | bumped into Jessica last night and she might have told me a few things that | would like to believe can lead us some where we both want to be but | can’t be the only one willing

to do the hard work.” In that moment, | realised just how opposite and contradictory this had been on comparison to what | wanted, to how | had seen it actually taking place.

Dante was supposed to be the one gaining my fabour. He was supposed to be the one to grovel, to chase after me, to want to fix this and yet here | was standing in front of him whilst he behaved like a stubborn child refusing to meet in the middle.

“| can’t do this any more. | can’t always be the one that’s trying to fix things.” | took a step away from him and then another. | saw a wave of panic wash over him which had causing his shoulders to tense up but Dante said nothing at all.

“I came here to make it clear that Scott and | never had anything going on between us. He tried to lure me in to a scandal and that is all there is to it. | don’t know if that makes any difference and if it doesn’t then so be it. I give

up with any possibility of there ever being an ‘us‘ again.” | swung around and headed for the door but stopped just as | reached it.

“On the other hand, if it does then you know where to find me but be warned, Dante. There is only so much you can toy with me before | actually do said fuck it and once | reach that point then there might be no regardless of how many shiny things you buy me as an apology.” | muttered before sparing him one last look and darting through the open door.
