Chapter 35
1003words
Well this dinner was probably to officially announce that they were engaged and show the whole damn family and friends that they are no longer on the boyfriend and girlfriend stage but that they have elevated to the fiancee level.
I was jealous.
I didnt like the way that girl was looking at Josiah.
I needed to calm down and totally smile to these photographers doing their job.
Averting my gaze away from his when he looked in my direction I plasted a smile to the people in front of me and continued to take pictures and that's when another couple entered and we took that our clue to move forward because I'm sure none of us wanted to stay longer and damage our eyes for free.
We moved forward and as soon as his hand left my waist I moved to the direction of Amala who was sipping a glass of wine and as I was walking towards her she gave me a knowing smirk that totally stated that she nailed with this dress she chose for me.
"I know we look like snacks in this room so we need to act like it" I said as I took a sip of the champagne I was passed to by a walking waiter.
"Ofcourse Nayra how else do you think those two men keep staring at us" and with that she rose her glass in their direction with a smile and they did the same and when one of them signaled us to go over to them Jonathan felt possessive he walked to her and kissed her right on the crook of her neck.
Seriously.
I almost rolled my eyes and since I knew these two were going to start talking to each other I made it my job to look for my date.
In the middle of that I made eye contact with Josiah at least three time and when I found him he smiled then walked to me.
I chuckled.
Where did he get all this energy.
The whole room suddenly went quiet when a lady and another tall dark skinned man entered the room together then entered another man with an Asian looking lady along with a younger looking Asian girl who looked like the photocopy of the asian woman.
The woman who entered first resembled Josiah in a way and the other man I saw in Josiah's office the other day.
Who were those people.
And just like that people started to take their designed seats on the long and fancy decorated table. When we were all settled the man that I saw in Josiah'office entered with a Latina looking woman who had a gracious smile entered the room and according to the smile she rocked it was undoubtedly obvious that she was the woman who Josiah's brother proposed to.
Shit.
I got it all wrong.
I almost laughed at my self.
I got it all twisted.
I almost groaned.
He probably told me that it was his engagement party so that he sees my reaction or he was thinking that I would argue with him or probably do something to show him that I had feelings for him or he said that because he organised this.
It was either one of those.
He must have been disappointed when he saw me today rocking with Naill but to be honest a big part of me wanted him to feel terrible because of how he had been treating me for the past weeks.
Looking at his direction I saw his expressing getting hard and I rolled my eyes.
Time to enjoy this free food I was being given.
It also looked like some drama was to enfold really quick.
So far so good.
I dont even know what I expected except that I was sitting in the middle of some rich snobs in the same room and I was getting bored with every passing moment.
Dinner was done and at the moment I really prefered to be in the lady's room than stay a single more minute in this room so I did just that.
I excused myself then left to find the washroom.
I felt relieved as I entered in there and looked at myself in the mirror while holding at the sink and I almost jumped when Josiah appeared out of nowhere right behind me.
Gasping I turned behind to ask this man what he was doing in the lady's room.
But he was faster to talk and his words really did dig a hole in the healing wound.
"So your new money sucking victim is Carter??" He asked breathing me down.
He sounded angry
Jealous?
I kept quiet.
No matter the situation or even the place this was still my boss and as much as I wanted to resort with a sarcastic answer or even talk him down I decided to keep my mouth shut.
Reaching inside my purse I removed the crimson red lipstick then turned around to re apply it even thought my lipstick was fine.
I just wanted to piss him off even more.
"I am talking to you Nayra" he said this time more audible as my backside faced him.
Shit the way he said my name.
I still remained quiet and I smacked my lips together so that the amount of lipstick in my lower lip is the same as the one on my upper lip.
I then stuffed it back inside and made a bee line for the door when he gripped my wrist so that I stay in place.
I was showing furry.
My blood was boiling.
Who did he think he was laying his hands on me with so much filth from other women.
I glared at him trying to control my breathing.
I wanted to say something so bad but I was hurt and I did not even think that he cared if I spoke or not.
