Chapter 95: HER SKILLS

"Wha... what did you just say?" Astrid lips trembled as she asked. Julian shut his eyes already regretting his words that he felt so embarrassed.

"That was a slip of the tongue," he whispered, and the little hope Astrid got crushed down.

"What?"

A smirk appeared on his face trying to mask his humiliation, "Why do you think I would be jealous of you being with another guy when I have a beautiful smart, and famous fiancee, who I would have gotten married to if you never ruined it,"

Her heart shattered into pieces at his words, who was she to think that he could ever share or have a bit of feeling for her?

"All I am saying now is that I saw a video of you kissing someone in the lot, isn’t that term cheating?" He asked now, his voice low and cold as ice.

Astrid thoughts swirled back to the day Manny and Stephan had planned for Stephan to kiss her.

"So you couldn’t see the face of the one who had kissed me?" He stood sickle for a second before he responded to her.

"Do I need to see the face? As long as I can tell you.."

"Then forget about it, don’t ask me such questions again," His eyes bulged, almost escaping his socket.

"How..."

"It’s my fault I ruined your life, I accept that, we just have a year with one another, won’t do that again," Astrid almost walked out of the room when he pulled her back.

"Walking out of this room means you are declaring for trouble," Astrid wiped the tears that almost escaped her eyes before looking back at him.

"You don’t care about my feelings so why should I listen to whatever you say?" She walks out of the room leaving Julian dazed.

He punched the wall in anger, "Why? What the fuuk is wrong with me?" he groaned, punching the wall continuously.

"Why am I getting worried about her? Why the fuck did I say that hurting statement to her?"

He shut his eyes again and then moved to his seat trying to get something down. But Astrid’s last words keep echoing in his head.

She admitted to the kiss and even told him she wasn’t cheating since they didn’t love one another.

He rang Ryan who opened the door almost immediately. "Boss, what is the problem?"

"Make sure she never leaves her seat until lunch. Every paperwork of the president should be sent to her." Ryan’s eyes widened at this.

"But it’s confidential," Julian squinted his gaze, "She is my wife? Isn’t that still in the right space?"

"Boss, I know she is your wife, I trust her also but recalled what had transpired between Manny.."

"Just get her a fuvking thing that would make her busy all through," Julian yelled at him

"Alright boss, I will," Ryan announced, rushing out of the office.

Julian’s hand ran through his hair. She needed rest because she was trying to make herself go through stress.

She hadn’t even eaten at him before coming here, he sighed and walked out of the office.

Staring at her for some minutes he decided to go get her food himself.

"Send me the list of food she can eat, I bet she has had breakfast this morning," he texted Maren and dropped his phone

His head focused on how busy she was tapping her laptop, "Get me an architect I want to design a new office." he sent to her.

The office is going for her, seeing how she shares space with others, didn’t make him feel comfortable anymore.

Weirdly he wants her closer to him alone and not to smile at other guys but him alone.

Julian’s phone buzzed, displaying the list of foods Astrid could eat. He smirked, preparing to leave, when Astrid walked into his office.

"Julian," she called using her stern tone and Julian immediately noticed it.

"Any problems?" Julian inquired, his head tilted in curiosity.

Astrid adjusted her glasses, her eyes flashing with obstinacy. "You needed an architect." she let out and Julian nodded slightly, intrigued.

Astrid took a step closer, her voice filled with conviction. "I want to design for you. My family’s business is architecture, and you know my dad is also into it."

Julian’s expression turned skeptical. "I don’t trust your dad."

"I am talking about me," she corrected him, "What? You? How?"

Astrid’s gaze dropped, and Julian felt a pang of guilt. He didn’t want to hurt her.

"I am not forcing you," Astrid continued, her voice soft. "I just want to create a design. If you don’t like it, then I will reach out to more professional ones."

Julian’s eyes widened in surprise. "You?"

Astrid nodded vigorously. "I have a series of designs at home. I promise I can go get them to show you."

Julian studied her intently. "You said you were a high school dropout."

Astrid’s lips curved into a sly smile. "I never said I didn’t have skills."

Then he shrugged his shoulders, "If you can show me your past designs then... You are free to do so,"

"Really?" her eyes lit up at this and Julian was surprised, he couldn’t help but ponder on how she got this pure heart.

She was mad at him a few seconds ago, she also knew he was annoyed but she still came to him to ask him if she could help with the designs.

"I should get to work," she let out running back to her seat and he was left stupefied.

He always had the mind that women are hard to satisfy, especially after dating Mattie but not the woman he is looking at.

Julian shook off his daze and walked out of the office, but Ryan’s voice stopped him.

"Boss, where are you headed?" Ryan asked, his footsteps closing in.

Julian turned to face him. "To get food."

Ryan’s words faltered, his eyes searching for the right phrase. "You... you..."

Julian’s gaze softened, his voice filled with gentle conviction. "My wife hasn’t eaten since last night. I need to get her something."

Ryan’s expression changed, understanding washing over him.

"But, sir, you could’ve just told me to—"

Julian’s steps halted, his eyes locking onto Ryan’s. "She’s my wife," he said, his voice low and intimate. "Only I know the good food for her."

Ryan’s face flushed, sensing the depth of Julian’s weird response..

"Then you can tell me and I will go get it, sir," Ryan offered, but Julian’s resolve remained unwavering.

"No, I will do it myself."

As Julian walked away, Ryan whispered to himself, "Is the boss in love with her?"
