Chapter 23 - Morning with the Crofts

Hazel's P.O.V

A few minutes earlier

I looked at my reflection in the mirror and smiled at my choice of clothing, I was meant to be starting work at Crofts enterprises that morning as the new head of the insurance and warranty division, and wanted to look my best. As I covered my lips with my favourite nude lipstick, I glanced down at my boobs, "I hope this isn't too much cleavage for my first day."

I walked out the bathroom feeling confident and sexy until I felt Caleb's cold gaze fall on me.

"Change your clothes." He growled.

"What's wrong with it?" I questioned looking into the gigantic mirror plastered to one of the walls in our room while simultaneously adjusting my top.

"Iwon't have you dressing like a whore just to please your lover!" Caleb bitterly spat

I whipped my head back to look at him ready to throw some punches and do some serious damage to his face and just as I was about to attack, a maid knocked on the door, "Master Crofts requests for you both to join him for breakfast before heading to work."

I shot Caleb a deadly glare before picking up my phone and handbag and heading for the door, saying I was pissed with him would have been an understatement, I was ready to spill blood. "I can't believe I slept with that two faced, unstable, emotionally absent son of a bitch." I muttered to myself as I made my downstairs to the dining room.

When I arrived at the dining room, I was surprised to see all my in-laws seated to the left of Grandfather Crofts eating, everyone except the old man did not look happy to see me

When I arrived at the dining room, I was surprised to see all my in-laws seated to the left of Grandfather Crofts eating, everyone except the old man did not look happy to see me.

"Good morning my darling Hazel." The old man greeted joyfully. "How was your night?"

"It was fine grandfather." I replied as I watched the butler pull out a chair for me.

"Please seat and eat." The old man gestured, "You must be exhausted from last night."

My face went tomato red, it was beyond me how this man could speak of such things so casually, I was tempted to tell him that Caleb and I did not share a bed, but ultimately decided against it.
