Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Chapter 12 A Stalker

Kelly’s POV

“Mr. Anderson, Miss Monroe, the meeting will start in 5 minutes.”

I nodded at my assistant and looked at Pierce who’s standing behind me. His forehead was still creased and he’s staring at my face. He looked confused but still angry. I don’t know why he hates Chris. Even when we’re in college, he hates him. Chris is a good man. He accepted my decision when I rejected him. He didn’t hold a grudge against me. He understood me.

Shaking my head, I turned my back on Pierce and started walking towards the conference room. I felt him following me but I didn’t look back.

The meeting started right after we arrived. Everyone was silent and serious and yet here’s Pierce who kept on sending me messages. He’s still convincing me to reject Chris and that makes me really annoyed.

He doesn’t have the right to rule my life. He’s my best friend and yes, also my ex-husband. That means he doesn’t have a say in my personal life anymore. I need to draw a line of limitation to our relationship. He just doesn’t understand what’s going on.

After the meeting, Pierce is at it again. He grabbed my arm in the middle of the hallway, ignoring the people who were looking at us. Though I know they won’t put malice on our situation because they know we’re best friends.

“Kelly, you have to listen to me.”

“Why are you so desperate to control my relationship, Pierce?” I asked, whispering in his ear as I glared at him.

“I’m not controlling you.”

“Yes, you are!”

He shook his head. “I don’t like him for you. Don’t date him.”

“What if I tell you that I don’t like Lexi for you either? Would you still date her?”

His lips parted as he slowly let go of my arm. Now we’re talking.

I hissed and turned my back on him. I went to the comfort room because I was suddenly dizzy. Probably because he got so close that I smelled his perfume. God! Our baby would look exactly like a copy of him.

I entered the cubicle and sat on the water closet, trying to calm myself down. I squeezed my eyes closed and massage my temple when I heard someone open the door of the comfort room.

I was planning to ignore it because I know it might be just a female employee but the sound of the shoes doesn’t sound like a female’s shoe. My forehead creased. Did Pierce follow me here? This is a female’s comfort room!

“What are you doing, Pierce?” I asked, annoyed when I heard the footsteps coming towards the last cubicle where I entered.

The footsteps stopped and strangely, I felt nervous. I don’t know why what happened seemed so creepy. I feel like I’m in some thriller movie and someone’s waiting for me outside to kill me.

I swallowed hard as I slowly opened the cubicle. I jumped in shock when I saw a janitor standing by the front door as if waiting for me to come out.

He immediately bowed his head. “Sorry, Miss Monroe. I thought no one’s inside.”

I just nodded at him before I washed my hands on the sink. I kept on glancing at him from the mirror because I felt like his stares were creepy. I think he’s just the same age as Pierce. He wasn’t smiling and his eyes were blank, something that made him even creepy.

I faced him after I washed my hands. “You’re new here?”

He nodded. “Yes. I started just last week.”

I nodded as my eyes examined his whole body. “Didn’t your superior inform you that cleaners are scheduled to clean after office work? Not during office hours.”
