The fall of our secrets

Chapter30

Nina:
Hello everyone!

I hope you are doing well.

Here is a new chapter. I hope you will enjoy it since I really enjoyed writing it.

Letting Lexie go was the second hardest decision I have to make today. I am sure you are asking what is the hardest decision I would make. Well, wait and see.

Ethan parked the car in front of a large building. I was no more surprised by the extravagant exteriors and luxurious buildings he frequented.

I walked next to Ethan, and together, we headed to the elevator. We waited until it reached the top before the doors opened to reveal a spacious hall with a large desk in one corner.

The brunette girl sitting at the desk looked up and smiled at us.

"Good Morning, sir. How may I help you?" She asked Ethan while completely ignoring me. I mentally rolled my eyes at her behaviour.

"You are new. Where is Agatha?" Ethan asked with a raised eyebrow.

I could see the disappointment in the girl's eyes because Ethan didn't pay attention to her exposed cleavage and extremely blinking eyes. I am sure he thought she was sick instead of finding her actions attractive.

"She is on leave. Her daughter gave birth yesterday, and she wanted some time off to be with her new granddaughter. I am Rosa, her substitute."

To my annoyance, Ethan flashed her a grin and extended his hand.
"I am Ethan,"

The dreamy look came back tenfold, and she gripped it far too long for my liking.

I had enough, and I snatched his arm away from her.

Ethan had the nerve to smirk at me while I just fixed my glare on her and said in an icy voice.

"We are here to see Mr Salviatti. He is waiting for us."

The girl glared back and entered the office. Seconds later, she came out telling Ethan and avoiding any eye contact with me that Damian was ready to meet us.

I rolled my eyes and started walking towards the door. Ethan grabbed my arm and drew me closer to his side.

"I like it when you act jealous," Ethan whispered in his so-not-low voice.
"Who said I am jealous?" I raised an eyebrow in question.

"Your actions," Ethan replied with a shrug and grabbed my hand.

"You are misinterpreting my reactions." I defended myself even though I knew he was right. I didn't like the way girls looked at him and acted as if they wanted to eat him alive.

Ethan shook his head and graced me with one of his wide grins. I swallowed and returned his smile as best as I could.

Upon our entrance to the office, Damian averted his focus from the workload in front of him and gave us his undivided attention.

"You may have a seat." Damian motioned to the two seats facing his desk.

Ethan's warmth leaving me was a shock to my body. I was getting used to his presence and closeness, even his simplest gestures meant more than they should.

I sat on the vacant chair, and we both waited for Damian to start speaking.

"I finished reviewing your files yesterday, and to say I am impressed would be unjust to what you managed to achieve. It had been so long since I saw a team which could function this way."

Ethan smiled and nodded his head in agreement. "Nina is a quick learner. I can attest to her adaptation ability."
Ethan's words were short but precise, and they left a comforting feeling inside me.
