Their End, My Beginning

Chapter 28

*Ryder’s POV

When I woke up after dozing off again, I looked at the time and noticed I was one hour late, which was

unusual, I always got into my office at 8 as my employees come by 8:30. Now it is 9 and I am still on

my bed with an enormous headache causing me to have shitty morning.

And thus, I was in the mood of snapping at anything or anyone. I got ready wearing a black suit like

usual and got into my black Rolls Royce; I had the mood of having everything in black and got to the

underground parking of my company and went in the lift typed the code and it took me straight to my

floor with a voice saying welcome sir, which by the way I shouted at. Though I knew it was not human

and was only an inbuilt voice, I shouted to shut up. Like I said, I was having the mood of snapping at

everything until I saw her. My love.

She too was in black. Maybe she knew of my mood. Internally chucking I went into my office and my

secretary came in informing my schedule and informing me of my meeting with Miss. Lisa Carvens.

Which made me almost scowl but kept an impassive look on my face and dismissed Raven Cooper, my

assistant. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

There is 1 hour before my meeting with Carvens, meaning I have that much time to relax for that

dreadful meeting. Ever since that meeting with Kat at Simiona, I felt like my old self in the aspect of

women. Earlier I used to dread meeting any women thinking that Kat would be uncomfortable, it’s not

that she doesn’t trust me but she doesn’t trust other women, she hates other woman touching, touching

meaning not the friendly touch but the touch that says I-want-you.

But now the dread is same, but it is not just over the fact that she hates it but the thought of seeing that

disappointment in her eyes because I am 100 percent sure that she doesn’t trust me anymore. And I

have had meetings with Carvens before, and all of them have ended with sex. That is how I get most of

my deals. Women can’t just ignore my charms. Using my charms, I manipulate them to get the deals. I

have never regretted it, well not until meeting Kat.

As I was leaning on my chair with my eyes closed and thinking things through, I heard a knock which

made me open my eyes and sit straight. Cooper comes in with Carvens, the latter wearing a red slutty

dress which shows everything of hers leaving nothing to imagine. Cooper and Carvens look like sisters

right now with the way they wore their dresses trying to get my attention little did they know my full

attention is on my kitten who is sitting in her office which is just separated by a glass wall.

And from the way, I mention them using their last names simply means that they are my least favourite

people. If I call people by their last name, it means I don’t like them very much.

“Miss. Carvens, welcome. Come in. Take a seat. To what do I owe the pleasure of seeing you in my

office.” I ask with my usual business smile on my face.

“Ryder, we have known each other in ways others haven’t so please call me Lisa.” She says with that

disgusting look in her eyes. If she thinks that she is seducing me, she is very wrong.

“Okay Carvens.” I say and internally smirk seeing her face fell and covering it with an eye roll.

She gets up from her chair and comes near me touching my shoulder dragging her disgusting fingers

down to my crouch. I squirm with disgust and she has that smirk on her face thinking that I squirmed

because her action turned me on if anything it turned me way down to the level I think he may never

wake up. Unless a certain brunette hair girl.

My thoughts of hers were soon gone the minute Carvens sat on my lap. I jumped out of my chair.

“What the hell, Carvens??” I shouted.

“what!! This is the usual things between us why are you surprised as if this never happened.” She

asked with annoyance and shock clear in her voice.

“This may have happened between us in the past but not anymore.” I said with anger clear in my voice.

“What this is not you. Wait, a second is it that bitch, the new girl sitting in the office near yours, the

reason for your change??” she said with anger, talking as if I was hers. I too had no idea why I was

mad, but the mere touch of her made me feel disgusted and I hate that feeling.

“hear this for once and for all I am not yours, neither are you mine so you have no right to ask who I am

in relation with or not.” I said more like ordered her intimidating her and saw her step back scared. Now

that is the difference between her and Kat if anyone talks to her trying to intimidate her instead of

stepping back. She steps forward, staring back, intimidating the person.

I walked closer to Carvens and took her cheeks between my thumb and pointing finger, squeezing

them tighter with each word as I said, “Never. Ever. Call. Her. A. Bitch. Slut.” With the last word, I

pushed her off to turn around to see if Kat has seen any of this. And to my unfortunate there was no

one in her office making me angrier if that was even possible.

“GET OUT.” I shouted at Carvens, who scurried out of my office.

I rang the intercom in my office to call my assistant in. “Cooper where is Katherine.” I asked, and she

said she was in the cafeteria.

I immediately went down for some reason I don’t even know to see her holding a cup of coffee in her

hands and talking with one of my employees. Well, she was talking but there was slight flirting in it and

he was completely flirting with her time. Time to kick him out.

I became angrier than before, so I thought to go to some club and to forget about my anger by drinking.

And so, I left the company, ordering Cooper to reschedule everything on my calendar.
