A Deal With The Millionaire

Chapter 71

Layla got the coffee and walked over to Shane’s office. She knocked gently at the door and instead of she hearing a command for her to come in, she only heard approaching footsteps. She raised her brows slightly as she was a bit confused. They didn’t want her in or what?

The door finally opened and Brielle appeared. ” Here ” She handed over the coffee to her. Brielle let out a little smile as she collected the coffee from Layla but Layla noticed her expression changed slowly.

” Is something wrong? ” She was forced to ask, not like she cared anyways. ” Yeah, the coffee is cold ” Brielle muttered and Layla raised her brows.

” Yeah, who would want a hot coffee in the afternoon? ” Layla asked in confusion. ” Um, he actually likes hot coffee and it doesn’t matter which time of the day, please get him a hot one ” Brielle said.

” Oh ” Layla muttered and then nodded. She collected the coffee back from her and Brielle walked back in, closing the door. ” Where’s the coffee? ” She heard Shane ask Brielle. ” She got you a cold coffee, I guess she wasn’t aware you’d always liked your coffee hot ” Brielle replied. ” Oh ” Shane muttered.

Layla let out a sigh before walking away back to where she got the coffee from. ” He’d always loved his coffee hot? How come I’m not aware ” She thought as she walked away.

She walked back to the office after changing the cold coffee to a hot one. This time around, she was asked to come in. Probably they were too busy to come open the door.

She twisted the door knob and pushed the door opened, Shane was seated on his seat while Brielle was behind him, massaging his shoulders. Layla didn’t know how to feel or how she felt at that moment but she knew she was hurt. She walked over to them with a changed expression – probably to a sad one.

She dropped the coffee on the table making a short bang but it didn’t spill as it was covered. They both looked up at her but she ignored them and began walking out without saying a word.

” Don’t you think your secretary is being too rude? You’re her boss and I’m her boss’s wife. She shouldn’t act rude ” Brielle said but Shane kept quiet. He didn’t say a word. Brielle scoffed silently and continued massaging his shoulders.

She should go on with her plans. ” Do you want me to prepare anything for you at home or should I get something for you at home? I want to go do something at home really quick ” Brielle said and Shane looked up at her.

” Why are you going home? ” He asked. ” Nothing, I just wanna do some things at home. Do you need any files or any thing? ” She asked again. ” Yeah I guess. There are some documents inside the bedside drawer, please get them for me ” He said and she nodded. ” Are the files for a contract or what? ”

” Yeah, it’s this new contract we’re trying to consider ” He muttered. ” I could help with it or what do you think? ”

” Yeah maybe ” He replied and she nodded. ” Alright then, I should leave now ” She said and Shane nodded as she walked out of the office.

Shane let out an exhausting sigh as he massaged his temples. Tho Brielle had been of great help but he can’t deny the fact the the work was still stressful.

But Brielle really helped a lot, she understands everything perfectly and she’s fast too.

He suddenly thought of Layla and he let out a short sigh. He grabbed his phone and sent a text to her. He dropped his phone and stretched his hands.

He grabbed the coffee sitting on his desk and tool a sip. His phone beeped indicating he had a message and he dropped the coffee. He grabbed his phone and it was a text from Layla, she had reply.

He dropped his phone and took his coffee again and sipped slowly as he waited for Layla’s arrival.

Few minutes later, the door pushed open and Layla walked in, she wasn’t looking angry nor happy. She walked in with a neutral expression on with her hands folded under her bre**asts. ” I’m here. What do you want? ” She asked at once and Shane let out a tired sigh.

He knew she was angry at that moment or jealous ’cause of Brielle. ” Are you mad at me? ” Shane asked and she let out a scoff.

” Is that supposed to be a question? ” She asked as she rolled her eyes. ” You know I love you right? ” Shane said and she rolled her eyes. She moved closer to his desk and glanced at the files.

” You’re done with them? ” She asked and he nodded. ” Yeah, Brielle helped with it making it easier ” He said and Layla nodded. ” I guess. She’s really of help to you than I could ever be ” She muttered the last part to herself.

” Do you want us to hang out later in the evening? ” Shane asked but she shook her head. ” No, you should rest since you’ve done a lot today ” She replied. Shane raised his brows suspiciously. ” Is it that you are mad at me or something? ” He asked but she shook her head.

” No, I’m not, I just want you to get some rest ” She said and Shane nodded. ” I should go back to work before your wife arrives ” She said as she made to leave. ” How are you feeling now? ” He asked and she turned and turned to him. ” I’m fine now, thanks ” She muttered and her eyes landed on the coffee sitting on Shane’s desk.

” You really don’t like cold coffee no matter what time of the day it is? ” She asked and he nodded. ” Why didn’t you tell me? ” She snapped and Shane was suprised. ” I.. you never asked and why are you so bothered about it? ” He asked confusedly.

Layla let out a sigh. ” It’s nothing ” She muttered as she made her way out of his office leaving Shane in confusion.

” It’s because you made me feel Brielle has the upper hand. I sincerely thinks she has the upper hand. Who am I kidding anyways, they’ve knew each other for years now and it’s only been months since we got to know each other. I probably know nothing about him ” She thought slowly as she walked back into her office.

” Why’s she requesting to see me? ” Layla asked Claus as they both walked over to Shane’s office. Brielle had requested to see her in Shane’s office.

” Prepare for the worst ” Claus teased as he escorted her to the office’s door before heading to his own office.

Layla scoffed before walking in slowly. ” I’m here ” She muttered and the duo looked up. They were seated right beside each other as they worked together on Shane’s desk.

” Could you please help with this? ” Brielle asked as she gestured to a bunch of files on the desk. Layla walked over to the desk and glanced at the files. ” What do I do? ” She asked confusedly.

” Just sort them out please ” Brielle replied. Shane continued with his work as Brielle instructed Layla on what to do. ” You can sit over there ” She gestured to the couch available in the office and Layla nodded. She heaped the numerous files on her hands as she walked over to the couch and sat down. She began doing as instructed by Brielle.

” So, you busy in the evening? ” Brielle suddenly asked Shane and he looked at her. ” Huh? ”

” Do you want us to go on a night date after work? ” She asked and Shane coughed lightly. He took a glance at Layla whose head was lowered as she worked on the files but Shane knew she could listen to their conversations.

Brielle noticed this and a smirk played on her lips. ” So what you think? ” She asked again. ” Um.. I think I need to get some rest, we’ve been working all day. We should rest ” He said and Brielle nodded in agreement.

” Alright then ” She muttered. She suddenly raised her head to Layla. ” Layla are you almost done? ” She asked and Layla raised her head to them. ” Yeah, almost ” She muttered and Brielle nodded before standing up. She walked over to her. She sat down beside her and she raised her brows. ” Do you think you can ever take Shane away from me? ” She whispered and Layla raised her head. She had a raised brows on.

” What’s his favorite food for breakfast? ” She asked and Layla raised her brows confusedly.

Why was she suddenly asking her all these questions?
