After Sleeping with My Childhood Prince, I Kicked Him Out from My World novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99

74. Worse Mistake

<< Miles,>>

I sit at my desk, surrounded by stacks of papers and a laptop that never seems to stop buzzing with emails. It’s another typical day at work, and I’m in the middle of finishing up an important report.

After knocking on the door, Isha excuses herself into the room.

“Hey Miles, I finally figured out that issue with accounting in sales deed you were worried about.”

“Oh. I thought I would have to dig into myself,” I say as I take the files from her to take a quick look. At an overlook, her analysis looks promising.

She flushes at my remark.

“I am sorry!” she mumbles. I was planning to do it last week, but your girlsister hijacked me.

I grin. “How was your time with her?”

She tilts her head at me.

“What’s up with you guys? Is there something I don’t know? All of a sudden, everyone is treating me nicely. Why?”

I frown. Who else?

“What the fuck, Isha. I am always nice.”

She rolls her eyes and waves me off while making her way out, before I can ask her who else she is talking about.

The mystery is solved soon after when Mom calls me that afternoon.

“Honey, I have invited Isha to a family dinner over the weekend. Noah would be there too. Please join us.”

“You met her?” I ask with surprise.

“Yes. I was at your office. I made up an excuse and invited her…. your dad is planning to tell her everything.”

“Wow. It’s a good thing though…”

I cut the call and sit in my spot. Will Isha be happy or furious after knowing the truth? I need Avery around when this happens. She was right. So many tears would be shed. I am glad she made an effort to get closer to Isha. I take out my phone, wondering what she’s up to right now?

Glancing at the clock, I see that it’s almost lunchtime. Perfect timing to call her.

“Hey, what’s up?” Avery’s voice rings through the speaker.

“Just taking a break from work. How’s your trip to New York going?” I ask, happy to hear her voice.

“It’s going well, but I already miss you.”

“I miss you too,” I say, feeling a smile creep across my face. A few months back never had expected I would say these words to anyone.

She goes on to tell me about her flight and how she has been busy cleaning the apartment to keep herself distracted from the Della and Ethan mess.

A strange sense of foreboding hits me. I don’t want to scare her off, so I say nothing and make a mental note to assign Raylan to her again. She will probably get furious, but it will give me peace of mind.

“So, what are your plans for the day?” I ask, curiosity getting the best of me.

“I’m meeting up with Jake for dinner tonight,” she says, and I can hear a hint of excitement in her voice.

“Jake? As in Lena’s boysister?” I ask, my mind racing to place the name.

I am having a little hard time remembering all the names she tells me. But I have to do this. I have heard girls get angry when you forget things like this.

Oh Fuck. I guess I need to remember the anniversaries too. I better make notes.

“Yeah, I thought it would be nice to catch up.” She takes a pause. “Miles, I am planning to hand him over the music company. Lena and Jake can take good care of it,” she explains.

Her statement takes me by surprise.

“Okay.. I hope you don’t resent me, Avery. You worked hard for that company.”

“No Miles. It’s time for bigger things. For starters, I want to bring Collins construction back on its feet again.”

I nod. “Alright Have a great time tonight, and tell Jake I said hello. I would like to meet him someday.”

“I will, Miles. I’ll talk to you soon,” she says before hanging up.

After lunch, I get back to work and meetings. The hours drag on, and before I know it, it’s late at night. I make my way to lift while dialing her number. I frown when it goes straight to voicemail.

So I send her a text.

Me: ‘Hey, How was dinner? I’ve been trying to reach you. Let me know if you made it back home safe.‘

A few minutes later, a message pops up on my screen.

Official Girlsister: I’m sorry I missed your call. I’m really tired, I need to get some sleep. I will call you tomorrow after breakfast. Good night.”

The message feels off, but I cannot pinpoint it. Am I smothering her with too many calls and messages? Confused as hell, I simply reply.

Me: ‘Okay, sounds good. Sleep well, and I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”

I drive home and a sense of unease wash over me. A realization hits me. I forgot to send Raylan to her place.

After reaching home, I contemplate and dial Liam’s number.

Have you heard from Avery? I’ve been trying to get in touch with her, but her phone is off Iank as soon as the picks up.

Lena’s voice sounds surprised on the other end of the line. “No, she was supposed to call me this morning bur I haven’t heard anything yet.”

My anxiety begins to turn into full–blown panic.
