? Ashtonâs p.o.v?
We were all engrossed in watching the drama that was enfolding between Kim and the little girl.
I would have snapped, sincerely I would have because this occurrence was due to lack of professionalism but I didnât snap because i was interested in whatever that was happening.
The little girlâs nanny rushed in a minute later apologizing profusely but the frown on Kimâs face shows that she was still annoyed,it was her fault that the girl left her sight to come and disrupt a meeting but thatâs far from what is happening now.
The little girl was tugging on Kimâs neck like her life depended on it. She didnât want to leave and we watched as they struggled to make an agreement. The girl was adamant on not leaving.
âYou have to go with your nanny. You canât stay hereâ kim told her for the uptheenth time and she shook her head again.
They were not loud,it was like a whisper but we still heard because the room was silent and everyone was interested in whatever was happening.
âWhy mommy?â
âBecause this is a meeting,you shouldnât be hereâ she said again.
âBut I want to stay with youâ the girl pouted and I found it cute.
Whatâs wrong with you Ashton?
âI would be out in a few minutes,but you canât just stay hereâ she told her still struggling to remove her hands that were wrapped around her neck.
That was a strong grip though.
âMommy,I donât want to go pleaseâ she begged.
Then the Tyler guy intervened by whispering something in her ear and she nodded immediately.
He seems to have a good relationship with the girl. He seems to be good with everything and it sucks.
F–k the guy.
âI would be a good girl, mommy. I promise I wonât disturbâ she said raising her pinky finger.
What does that mean?
Kim closed her eyes before sighing, something I have learnt she does whenever she is stressed.
This was enough stress.
Tyler cleared his throat. âI am sorry for the disturbance. We honestly didnât expect this to happen. I know this is unprofessional. I apologiseâ he said before gesturing to the nanny to leave the room.
âReally sorry about this. Like he said,we didnât expect itâŚâ Kim continued until one woman interrupted her.
âItâs okay. She is just a kid,you know you canât predict what kids doâ she said before smiling and others nodded.
âIs it alright for her to stay here Ashton?â I heard tyler ask facing me.
Not to sound proud,but they had to seek for my opinion right? This was my freaking building.
Say yes.
Say no,this is a meeting.
Just tell them this is highly unprofessionalâŚbut the girl was cute and most people already assented to her being here.
I canât play the role of a sore thumb right and I didnât want the girl to leave either if she feels comfortable with her mom and if it makes Kim HAPPY.
Not Tyler tho.
âSure,she canâ I said before focusing on the paperworks in front of me. âLetâs go on with the meeting thenâ I said again and several people nodded.
ââââââââââĎ
?Kimâs p.o.v?
To say i was panicking inside right now was an understatement,I wanted this meeting to be over this instant so Charlotte and I can go home.
I didnât expect what just happened after Tyler kept assuring me that she wouldnât stray away from the watch of the nanny,but she did. She f—–g did and now she is exposed to every single person here including Ashton.
The f—–g ball shouldnât have rolled to this room,not today,not here. When she entered looking for the ball,I almost spranged up from my seat but I decided not to,in case if she just picks the ball and leave.
I didnât miss the look Ashton gave her,that was a long stare that definitely placed me on the edge of the chair,it was like he was thinking of something he couldnât place well. I was terrified because the guy was smart and the moment he knows she is his daughter he would want to take her from me and that isnât gonna happen,I promise that.
I was sincerely hoping she wasnât going to recognize me among the people here,I even had to bend my head and pretend like i was engrossed in the paperworks but she still recognized me.
I didnât expect him to agree to her being in here but he surprisingly agreed and I wasnât happy about that,that little gesture made me squirm inwardly again. He shouldnât show any act of kindness to her, Ashton wasnât nice to kids and if anything kids freaked him out but him being nice to Charlotte doesnât help matters at all.
I wanted him to not give a f–k about her,I wanted him to feel like she was just a random kid,then he wonât place two and two together that way. But if he kept on behaving this way it wouldnât take long before everything comes out and I canât risk that.
I canât.
âMommyâ Charlotte called. She was presently in my arms with her head nudging against my neck.
âYes babyâ I said absentmindedly. The meeting was still in full swing, everyone was engrossed in the meeting except me of course and Ashton who kept on glancing my way putting me on the edge the more.
âI want to sleepâ she told me twirling my hair between her fingers again.
âSleep then,I would wake you up on our way homeâ I told her quietly.
âOkayâ she paused. âMommy?â
âUhmm?â
âAre you mad at me?â. She asked softly and I shook my head immediately.
Can I ever be mad at her?
I donât think so.
âNo. Why would you say that?â
âI donât knowâ she paused like she was thinking of something,her voice was sleepy. âMommy, donât be mad at me please. Remember Charlotte is a good girlâ she said again her breath fanning my neck.
âI know you are and I am not mad at you. Go to sleep nowâ.
âI love you Mommyâ she said again.
âLove you moreâ I said sincerely.
I love her so much and no one would take her away from me,I would do whatever it takes.
?�?�?�
The meeting ended few minutes ago and Tyler urged me to accompany him to meet few of the people present.
According to him he said âwe are a big business family now,we have to say hello to themâ much to my dismay because I was carrying a four year old child. Donât get me wrong,I love carrying Charlotte but I didnât like the idea of carrying her around why I went around the room with Tyler wasnât a good idea.
I tried giving Charlotte to the nanny but she wouldnât budge. She have always been clingy but she was extremely clingy today and it wasnât helping matters because I had to carry her around with me.
We went round peacefully and Tyler did most of the talkings,I just had to butt in to drop a comment whenever they gush about how cute my daughter was.
Of course she was cute,she disrupted a meeting and now my head was working five times faster than it should because I was worried and edgy.
How cute Charlotte,how cute.
âPass this way to the next floor Kim,I have to sign few papers in the next floor. I would be with you in a jiffyâ Tyler informed me immediately we stepped out of the conference room.
âOkayâ
âThis route would be stress free because there is a secret exit in the next floor and you donât have to bother about being mobbed by reportersâ he said and I raised an eyebrow. âI know you wouldnât want that and I donât want to put you in an uncomfortable situation. I would be with you in few minutes,just be carefulâ he said before ruffling Charlotteâs hair and going through the opposite route. That was the route to the next floor.
Tyler have definitely studied this area to know the secret route. Of course I knew the route too,i and few of my ex colleagues might have passed here whenever they was reporters outside,on meetings like this and we would all sneak out through the route,it led to the garage.
The route was surprisingly silent and honestly I was glad that no one was walking around here. It gave me time to think and I couldnât help but think of how desperate people were for attention,they all wanted to pass the main exit so the reporters can see them exiting the building. I.e they wanted to be in the news. No one was around this hallway but it wasnât scary because there was light and i find it peaceful compared to how lousy today was.
âMommy?â
âYes babyâ I said as we walked through the Long hallway.
âYou didnât come to pick me up today and you promisedâ she mumbled
Oh shit,she doesnât do well with failed promises.
I stopped before dropping her down so I would be able to bend to her level âI am sorry,I wanted to but mommy was so busy that she wasnât able to come and pick you up.â I told her.
âReally mommy?â
I nodded removing a stray hair from the side of her face. âYes baby,I wanted to but I wasnât able to. I would make it up to youâ.
âReally Mommy? You promise?â She asked again but this time her face already lit up like I just mentioned santa Claus.
âYes. I promise babyâ I nodded before crossing my Pinky finger with her tiny one.
She was about to say something when she stopped looking behind me and I immediately turned to look at the person she was looking at .
It was Ashton,for Christâs sake I wasnât prepared for this yet not with Charlotte beside me. What was he doing here for Christ sake? I thought I already made it clear that I didnât want to see him.
Not now please,I was far from ready for this even though I knew it was inevitable.
My breath hitched and my protective instinct rised up immediately because I stood up and dragged my daughter to my side but knowing Charlotte she still peeked her head out from my side.
âI saw this Misterâ Charlotte said and he bent down to her level but I moved back automatically making her move back too but she wasnât at my back again she was beside me but I still drew her back.
âHelloâŚ?â He trailed off.
âCharlotteâ she completed beaming at him and he smiled back.
What went wrong with all the âdonât talk or smile at strangers talk?â.
But was he really a stranger?
âHello Charlotteâ.
âHello Misterâ she greeted back.
Okay this was enough.
âWhat do you want Ashton?â I asked him.
He ruffled Charlotteâs hair and she chuckled before he stood up straight.
I drew her back again.
She was gonna hear from me immediately we left here. She was this free with a stranger?
Kim he is not a stranger.
He is.
He is not.
He is.
âHello Kimâ he said smiling at me but I frowned at him.
I would have dropped a thousand dollar for this smile because he rarely smiled but that was before.
Before.
âWhat do you want?â I asked again.
I knew I was being rude but i wasnât in the mood for pleasantries and for the love of Christ I couldnât pretend like I was happy to see him unlike him because I wasnât happy to see him. And I was aware of our child that was behind me.
How did he find me here for Christ sake. I was hoping we already left here and we wouldnât have to see him.
âSo this is your daughter?â He asked still looking at the little girl behind me.
The face his up here dude,I didnât like the way he was starring at her.
âYes. I am marriedâ I blurted out and I immediately regretted it because of the little kid at my back.
But it was a white lie right?
Something flashed through his face before his expression went back to his neutral expression.
He was hard to read like an oujia board and that really s—-d because you never can tell when he shows emotions.
Does he really shows emotions? For a moment there I saw something flash in his eyes but it was gone before I could place a name to it..
âGuess I was late thenâ he paused. âHow old is she?â.
âShe is fourâ I told him.
I didnât have to lie anymore since he already caught the drift. I already had a husband so whatâs the fuss about.
He should take the hint now.
âFour. So whatâs the name of the guy?â He asked again.
âThatâs none of your businessâ I seethed.
Easy Kim,way to show that you already got over him and you are married.
I shouldnât have snapped.
âThere is no ring on your fingerâ he pinpointed.
âI owe you no explanationâ I deadpanned.
He shook his head. âI didnât say you owe me one but I was just airing our my observations. I hope he treats you Rightâ.
I sighed.
Rich coming from him.
âYes he does and he didnât treat me like trash like you didâ.
âI regretted that. I really did regret itâ he said running his hands through his hair.
âThat realization came pretty lateâ I said feeling myself getting angry than i was before. âI have to be on my way now,we have nothing else to talk aboutâ. I said before carrying my baby.
I was aware of his eyes tracing us because Charlotte looked back occasionally but I didnât.
I didnât want to.
âMommy,who is that Mister?â Charlotte asked immediately we got into the car.
âHe is nobodyâ I told her before turning on the engine and driving my car out.
I didnât wait for Tyler anymore because I just couldnât. I didnât expect things to turn out this way today.
I knew it wouldnât take long before Ashton discovers that I wasnât married yet because he wasnât just going to believe me that easily right?
It was obvious i wasnât married but a part of me hoped he bought the lie and leave us both alone.
What in the world does he mean by âguess I was late then?â
Kim forget it.
Just forget everything.
But I couldnât and I have no idea why!
â˘ââ˘ââ˘ââ˘Ďâ˘ââ˘â|
??????
So it looks like Ashton already fell in love with the child and Kim is in a tight spot here.?
What do you think would happen next??
Like tf!?
Ashton still wants Kim doesnât he? And the nigga is whipped ??
Would Ashton give up like he did the other time or do something else ?
Of course,I personally think the dude would do something but it wonât be easy because Kim wants the child for herself alone ?
Who else thinks Ashtonâs hate for Tyler is totally unnecessary. Ashton o wrong nau?âŚko necesstri rara?
The dude should calm the f–k down??
