Irresistible Love novel Chapter 10

"As if her nagging and annoying me every single time wasn't enough that I have to deal with all these things too," I muttered annoyed by the situation as I checked my face in the mirror where that bastard had punched me. "I swear if it wasn't for Ivona interfering in the middle then I would have seriously killed that son of a bitch there," applying the ice pad on my cheek I noticed the bruise forming up on the left side of my cheek.

"Great! I have to deal with foreign delegates tomorrow and this is what I have to show them," hissing and cursing all the while all of a sudden I remembered that I have been in the washroom for what seemed like an hour and I still haven't contacted Ivona after dropping her at her apartment.

Quickly making my way up to my phone in the master room I called her to check on her.

"Ivona?"

"Yeah?" she hissed at something in the background which got my attention as I kept the ice pad on the chair and concentrated on the phone.

"What is it? Are you alright?" I asked and she cleared her throat.

"Yeah. I'm fine. I was just putting ice on my forearm. It has bruises all over it because of that," she paused for a minute before getting back in the line "stupid man," she sighed and I nodded.

"Is it bad?" I asked referring to her bruises remembering that her arms surely had bruises all over it when I dropped her.

"No. I think it will go away in two to three days," she said and hummed in reply.

"How is your ch- ow!"

"What is it?" I asked when I heard her yelping.

"Damn it! I think today is just not my day. I just hit my foot hard on the kitchen counter," she hissed and at that moment I chuckled at her reaction.

"What? Excuse me? Are you laughing? Do you think this is funny?" she asked sounding pissed and that stopped me chuckling any further as I composed myself clearing my throat "Well, I think you have a sour mood today. Let's go out tomorrow for shopping or something like that," I asked as I got rid of my tie and sat on the bed.

"No. I don't feel like i- Wait! What? You! I mean you want to take me out for shopping?" she asked sounding astonished.

"Of course,"

" Really? I mean are you serious?" she asked and I nodded feeling a smile making its way up on my face hearing her astonished sound.

This woman is weird sometimes. She fights with me claiming that I never give time to her and now when I am giving in to what she had always wished for, she declines. Wow.

"So are you up for it or should I cance-"

"No! No! Actually, I think I do need to buy some new clothes for my closet. I'm in."

"Really? Wow, you were the one who told me a few minutes ago that you don't wan-"

"Listen! Are you trying to pick on a fight with me?" she asked in a low tone and I was quite sure that I had pissed her off.

Well...

"No! I mean why are you getting so upset about everything today?" I asked and heard her heaving a sigh. "I mean it seems so..." I clarified as I waited for her response. "No, I'm just shaking with what just happened today. It was too much for me. I mean a stranger appears in front of you out of the blue and claims that he is non-existent husband. It's all weird and depressing," her voice was low in the end.

"So? Why are you taking it so seriously? Forget it. I think he wouldn't show up before you anymore. It's over," I said and she hummed in response.

"Are you going to sleep now?" I asked further and in response, I got a chuckle as she spoke teasingly "You are surely talking to me too much all of a sudden. Is there any specific reason for it Mr. Lascar?" she asked and I chuckled in reply "Well, I'm trying. I told you the truth when I said I would try my best," she laughed at it "Yes, you were speaking the truth I can see that. But today, I think I should go to bed with a sore foot to bed," she hissed.

"I completely forgot about your foot. Are you good now?" I asked all of a sudden feeling genuinely worried about her. For a second I found myself amazed and shocked by what I was feeling. How is it that I'm all of a sudden being worried for her?

"Yeah, I think I'm fine," she sounded unsure.
