Rivers POV
It has been almost eighteen days, nine hours, fifteen minutes and 30 seconds to be exact.Since I last saw Ethan standing before me. I could not believe the turn of events that happened in only one day he went from gold digger to forgive me.
But Ethan was the type of man you couldn’t understand from a glance or two or maybe a thousand.His silence usually did not indicate a good thing.
I was sitting at my desk with files stacked on my desk but I was starting into mid-air with a pen gripped around my right hand but my thoughts were interrupted by Mia’s voice on the intercom.
“River um Mr.Scott is here.” she laughed, causing a smirk to stitch on my face but I tried to keep a great amount of professionalism so the smirk transformed into a much more serious look.
“Let him in,“I informed her straightening my posture and soon enough Ethan was surely standing before me with a wide grin on his face.
“Good morning River.“He said, looking my direction but I pretended to be busy flipping through papers.
“Good morning Mr.Scott.“I kept a stern face on, not looking up from the paperwork and I could feel him step closer.“You may have a seat.“I ushered towards the chair and he did as told.
He cleared his throat than finally spoke:“I want to talk to you about Nathan.“He practically mumbled and I lifted my head from the papers, my eyes darted a glare at him.
I knew this discussion was going to approach sometime soon I just did not realize it would be at that current moment. He was straightforward and direct that it caused shivers to go down my spine.
“You may proceed Mr.Scott,“I announced this time looking at him, and he pinched the bridge of his nose, straightening his posture.
“Can you not?“He asked with an upset tone which caused a mental grin to form on my face.
“Not what Mr-“I began but was interrupted by his loud huff.
" Not call me by my last name River.“He explained, rising from his chair causing his muscles to stiffen.
“What the hell do you want me to address you by then the man, who left my son fatherless or the man who ripped my heart to shreds because either one will bring joy to my face.“I hissed.
“The devil played with my mind I thought the DNA test was-”
“Wait what you received a DNA test?” I questioned, folding my arms surprised at the nerve he had, he did not realize all the ropes were in my play for now and If I wanted I can kick him out but for the sake of Nate I remained as calm as the sitation allowed me to be.
“Yes I did but?”
