His Mate, His Girlfriend (Love and Ellis) novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61

“You’re brooding,” David said softly. He took steps towards my desk.

“Ellis, we -” I bit my tongue hard after that name escaped my lips. David stopped in his tracks, his eyes were ferocious.

“Ellis?” he scoffed, crossing his arms against my chest. I went to him instantly, holding his arms.

“I’m sorry,” I apologized for calling him Ellis. David was heaving.

“I was thinking about him because of the kids, and his name left my lips,” I was rumbling my words now. I inhaled and said sincerely.

“I’m so sorry, babe,” I said, kissing his lips to soothe him. He didn’t kiss me back. He pulled away from me.

“I understand,” he said quietly. He was hurt. We stayed silent for a few minutes.

David raised his fingers, caressed my jaw softly, and kissed my forehead. He escorted me back to my seat, and he sat on top of my desk. We were close.

“I wanted to talk to you about something, but I don’t know if I can now,” he told me.

“No, please tell me,” I encouraged.

“It’s a business proposal. Can we do it tomorrow over dinner?” he asked, and I raised my eyebrows.

“Business. Should I worry?”

“No, my love. Not at all,” he smiled warmly at me, kissing my hand. I was still worried a bit. I understood he hated working

under Ellis.

“Okay. When?”

“Tomorrow?” Tomorrow was Saturday, and we were to go to CC’s manor for brunch.

“No. I can’t. CC invited us to her home,” I informed him. He had a faraway look in his eyes. I held his hand, and his gaze

traveled back to me.

“Are you going?”

“Yes, I couldn’t deny Christina Carter. She properly wants to meet the twins,’

“Okay. I’ll come with you,” he said. I shook my head no. It would cause some drama if he were there.

“I’ll be good. I want to be there for you as Charlotte will be there and won’t make it easy for you. You need me,” he said. I sighed in defeat, not wanting to argue with him, especially since what happened earlier.

“I want to embrace you. I’ve been missing you a lot lately,” he purred. I stood up and wrapped my arms around his neck while his arms went around my waist. He held ine tenderly while inhaling my scent.

“I like your smell, Love,” David held me tighter, and I let him.

To my shock, the door opened, and Ellis walked into the office. He froze, seeing us in an embrace, his face emotionless as he looked at our position.

I detached myself from him and faced our boss.

“The CEO just walks into his manager’s office without knocking?” David was pissed. Ellis didn’t retort. He seemed taken aback by us. Why was he acting like that?

“Surprise!” My kids came from behind Ellis. I walked past David with a gasp and got on one knee, opening my arms to hug my children. They were still in their school clothes. I hugged them tenderly.

Surprise indeed. What are you guys doing here?” I beamed, staring up at Ellis.

“I picked them from school, and we decided to come here- I gave them a tour, and they wanted to surprise you,” Ellis explained. His voice was a monotorfe. After the twins hugged me, they went to greet David as they usually do.

“Mommy, your office is lovely. I can see all the buildings!” Solara cheered, going closer to the glass window.” But Daddy’s way bigger and nicer,”

He owns this whole building. Do you know that?” Cayden asked me. I noticed he didn’t call Ellis’s Dad. It would take some time to be comfortable with it.

“Thank you for telling me,” I responded, ruffling his hair. “We even sat in his spinning chair, and it vibrates!”

The twins were excited about seeing my office and asked many questions.

“David, do you work here too?” Cayden asked. David tore his gaze from Ellis and wore his perfect smile that felt so practiced,

“Yes,”

“Can you show us to your office?” Solara asked sweetly. David looked conflicted, glimpsing between Ellis and me. He nodded and held their hands as they exited my office.

I was with Ellis in the office. Just us two. My heart started to thump against my chest.

“PDA in a place in a place of work, Ms Chasia. Do you read company policies?” he said, there was humor in his tone. It put me at
