Husband you've abandoned me Fine I'll focus on raising my son novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265: Give her a chance

"I didn’t say I want our relationship to be strictly professional because I don’t want to. I’m telling you that I don’t want anything more with you specifically," I bluntly clarified.

"But I have a good background, we’re close in age. Why can’t you give me a chance?" She asked me.

My eyebrow twitched in annoyance.

"Miss Sommers, you are a beautiful and intelligent woman, but I am not interested. This is the first and last time we will be having this conversation, so drop it," I shut her down sternly.

Disappointment spread across her face.

"...Yes, sir," she reluctantly said, and then she quickly left the room. I shook my head in disapproval as she closed my office door behind her.

What had my father been telling her that she would boldly ask me like this? It almost felt like she felt entitled to my affection. Hopefully, this was the last time anything like this would occur.

It was awkward between us for the rest of the day after that.

She also stopped doing the over the top favours of making me coffee, flirting etc.

**********

The following morning when I returned to the Hq I had to see my father first thing in the morning and to discuss the current project we were implementing.

I entered my father’s office and presented him with the report of how intended to go about this first project.

"Nice," my father said as he went through the documents I had presented him.

"Oh Louis by the way, I heard that you rejected Miss Sommers," my father told me.

I froze for a moment taken aback by this. Leigh Anne had snitched on me? I couldn’t believe it.

"Yes, father. I am not interested in Miss Sommers," I will tell you this right now.

"Is that so?" My father asked. "

My eyes narrowed I knew how he didn’t take my feelings seriously. My fathers golden eyes met mine as he studied me for a moment. He then sighed.

"I’ll let this issue go for now. It’s only been a couple of weeks since you ended things with Ms Towers. I suppose it makes sense why you’re making decisions based on your emotions but I hope you won’t do anything more to embarrass yourself. Whilst you are working here as the acting CEO of the Carrington group.

But you have to remember that Chairman Acland’s wife has returned to him. So I hope you won’t make any rash or downright I’m sure you’ve seen from Roberts slip up we’ve had quite enough of those. I’ve barely managed to keep what I did under wraps. The last thing I want is a situation with you involving the Aclands

"Am I understood?’ He asked me sternly.

"Yes, father," I answered reluctantly.
