Contract Marriage With Alpha Snow novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Missing Snow?

**************

Chapter 48

~Zara’s POV~

At the mention of that name, I knew once she was Storm’s mother and it angered me more as I was reminded of why I shouldn’t have been with him in the first place.

I used Snow’s distracted thoughts to my advantage—palmed him, pushing him off me. As soon as he budged, I scrambled to my feet, creating much distance between us.

"Zar..."

"Master Snow."

Snow clamped his lips shut. He had reached for my hand when he called my name and I yanked back but as soon as his chauffeur spoke, I noticed the hesitation in his eyes before he folded his fingers.

"Go. You don’t need to be here anyway. You said sleep in my bedroom not staying the entire day with me." I stood up immediately. "You go meet those who hold your heart. After all, we are nothing but contracted couples from a flash marriage."

My eyes held a certain coldness as I tried to mask my hurt. I was still so stupid and naive with men. But that had to change.

Snow rose to his feet. I couldn’t tell if my words had hurt him or not but I didn’t want to put myself in a situation where I got hurt again.

"Scott."

A soft sigh followed his response. "Master Snow."

"I’ll be there in a minute." Snow turned to face me as his chauffeur’s footstep receded. "Since I’m obviously not wanted here, I’ll be on my way."

His expression was as aloof as his reputation. Picking up his robe, he hung it over his shoulder and walked out of my room.

I tried not to think about anything that happened, so I went into the restroom. I was angry with how wet I had gotten from Snow’s teasing.

"Am I really falling for him?"

It was stupid to ask. I already knew the answer. No.

He was insufferable, annoyingly aloof, a troublemaker, a tease and... I glanced at my reflection in the mirror and noticed a flush on my cheeks.

Every word I mentioned about him, conjured up images of Snow’s past actions relaying the behaviours I’d come to associate with him, and I fucking blushed.

I shook my head and immediately got undressed. After filling the tub with water and creating bubbles, I stepped in and relaxed.

Whatever Snow had with Storm’s mother wasn’t my cup of tea anymore. I resolved to focus on myself and move ahead with my plan.

Arriving at the company, Taylor was shocked that neither Snow nor I had arrived on time like we used to. Even when she asked about the ’boss’, I shrugged it off and went into my office, clearly defying his order that I work in his office.

I reached out to Andrew Blake again but before I sent the message, yesterday’s incident replayed in my head. Thankfully, he gave me his business card when he came before Snow’s interruption.

"Be wise, Zara," I reprimanded myself. "Since Snow isn’t here, getting an approval would be nice."

I reached for the telephone on my desk, ready to make a call when it rang. Instinctively, I answered the call. "The CEO’s office, Zara speaking, how may I help you?"

A soft chuckle rang out from the other end, followed by a deep breath and a calm voice. "Hello, Zara."

I held my breath, quickly recognising the voice, but I was sceptical. I wouldn’t put it past Snow not to play any games.
