Fated to Them (book 1+2) novel Chapter 24

Read Fated to Them by Jessica Hall Chapter 24 – “So you think we won’t call you in, d**n might just find something for you to do now, since you love our company so much” Says Cyrus. I deadpan,

“I will switch my phone off” I tell him.

“And I will rock up to your house” He retorts. I fold my arms across my chest so much for my good mood, good day.

“I am joking Addie”

“Ha ha, very funny” I tell him.

“Or maybe I am not, we’ll have to see” He says walking into his office.

Eli smiles a devious look in his eye before walking to his office.

I sit at my desk rummaging through the mountain load of files. I needed to get these done so they don’t use it as an excuse to keep me back. I was meeting Sam at 8 o’clock.

My job consists of mostly filing, taking calls and messages, also had to book a few appointments so to be a smartass, I booked them all for 9 am Monday, back–to-back till lunch time, they were going to be pissed but because it’s Friday by the time they get messages about the meeting it will be too late to cancel them. I snicker to myself at my plan of not having to deal with them on Monday for half the day.

They actually made me work back, the one time they didn’t tell me to leave early, is the day I am meeting Sam, they literally made me wait till d**d on 7pm before dismissing me. I cursed their names all the way to my car, racing home to shower and get changed.

“You’re home, Sam has called three times this arvo to see if you’re still coming and said he couldn’t get you on your mobile” My mother says as I race upstairs.

I grab my clothes heading for the bathroom.

“What did you tell him?” I call out.

“That of course you were meeting him” That’s my Momma she knows me well.

I reckon I could have broken the record for the fastest shower and make-up job in history.

“Have fun” My mother says smacking my a*s as I try to slip my shoes on.

Rushing to my car I hop in before heading back towards my workplace as Morgan’s Cafe/ Diner was directly opposite it. I park out the front and see Sam Waiting already in the window. A silly grin on my face as I step out of the car. He notices me, walking out to meet me.

I lock my car only to turn around and Sam kisses me, grabbing my a**e and pulling me against him.

“I missed you” He says against my lips.

“Missed you too” I tell him wondering what came over him, he usually isn’t so handsy and most definitely not so affectionate.

I stepped back looking at him, he had on his black leather jacket and jeans with a black tight-fitting shirt underneath revealing his muscular chest and I could just make out the line of his abs.

“You look good, I can’t believe your back. I thought for sure you were going to ditch me here” I tell him.

“Yeah, I have been thinking a lot. I missed home, have decided I am staying home from now on” He says, grabbing my hand in his large one. He leads me inside and we sit at the booth near the back.

The waitress came over taking our orders.

“So what has been happening with you?” He asks.

“Nothing, really still working across the street at a different level now. I work for the owners directly, but other than that not much, my sister did another runner” I tell him.

“Again, I thought she was doing good at this one” He states, and I nod.

“She lasted an entire month before she skipped out. Haven’t seen or heard from her nearly four months now”

“She will come back, she always does” He says, grabbing my hand. Sam was probably the only person I actually tell anything to, not even Bella knows about my sister.

“What about you?” I ask as our food comes out. I take a bite of my burger before looking up at him.

“Nothing, really. F*****g freezing over there, rains all the time. Was driving me nuts,”
