His Lovely Obsession novel Chapter 71

She said a quiet hello to him. She felt a bit uncomfortable when he beamed and approached her. She glanced at the hallway where she came from, worried that Nick would come out any moment.

"How have you been?" He really sounded pleased to see her.

"I'm good. How about you? What happened to you? Haven't heard from you for a while. " She asked because she was a bit curious why he didn't call her again after they went out last time which was a little strange.

He didn't answer immediately. He was busy running his eyes on her face like he hadn't seen her for a very long time.

"You seem more beautiful now." he said in a breathy voice and she timidly smiled. " Can we have coffee at the cafe in front?"

She didn't expect his sudden invitation. Her forehead creased. " I'm sorry. I can't."

"Please? Even for just 15 minutes? " his eyes are pleading.

(Nick)

He looked at his watch. He finished signing all the documents. His brows knitted. Stacey had been gone for a long time. She said she would just get a bottle of water. She had been gone for 5 minutes.

"Sir, Ronan is on the phone." He heard Adrian say.

He nodded. " Bring the car to the other branch now. I will tell Ronan what to do with it." He instructed.

"Okay sir."

He walked to the table where the landline was.

"Ronan, Adrian will bring my girlfriend's car. I trust your work. Do everything you think is best. Call Jonathan. He will install the tracking device. Last time Pete f*cked up. I don't want any problems like that again." That he said in a low voice . His eyes went to the hallway. He didn't want Stacey hearing what he just said.

"Copy sir. By the way, Mr. Cordero is coming there today. His car arrived this morning."

"F*ck!" he cursed after putting the receiver down in a hurry.

(Stacey)

Her anxiety is increasing. Nick could come out anytime. She didn't want to have another argument. He was really jealous of her former boss last time she went out with him.

"I have to go Tyler." She turned to go but he held her arm.

"Stacey..."

GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER!" Nick's thunderous voice ordered.

Tyler released her and he turned a bit pale. Her eyes went to Nick. She swallowed because he looked murderous. He pulled her none too gently to his side.

"Do you know what I do to people who f*ck with me?" He asked Tyler in a very cold voice.

Her eyes went to him then to Tyler then back to Nick's face again. She frowned.

"I-I w-was just saying hi to her." his voice sounded a bit shaky.

Her former boss is trying very hard to hold his composure but she could sense that he was scared of Nick.

Why is he afraid of Nick? she asked herself.

"Don't you dare move Cordero! We will talk!"

He almost dragged her to his office. She was repeatedly calling him by their endearment but he was ignoring her.

"Stay here! Don't come out!!" he said angrily when they got inside his office.

She nodded while massaging her arm. He was out of the room like a flash. She sat on the sofa. Why of all people would she see Tyler here? Nick had become more jealous now that they are a real couple. She thought of calling Derick while Nick was out. She remembered that they were supposed to meet today. She got her phone and dialed his number but there was no dial tone. She sighed. They needed to talk. She had to give back the bracelet but she had no choice but to just send a text message to him.

To: Dee

I have been trying to contact you these past few days. Please call or message me when you read this. I have to tell something really important.

She was leafing through a magazine when the door was flung open. Nick's face was very grim. He slammed the door behind him.

"H-Honey? What happened?" Her voice sounded small.

His eyes are like fireballs. "Why were you talking to that *sshole?!" he asked angrily. He grabbed her arm and pulled her to him.

"H-He j-just said hi."

"His filthy hand was on you arm for f*ck sake!"
