Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Grayson 77 55 vouchers I had an important meeting at work but still had a little time to spare , so I rushed back home from Harper's place because Tiffany needed me . I pushed the bedroom door open and found her on the floor , the side of her face resting right in Kate's lap while tears streamed down her face . She saw me and raised her head , running to me and throwing her arms around my neck with what now looked like racoon eyes . She had smudged her makeup . I held her tight , kissing her forehead before speaking to her gently . " It's okay , baby . " " No , it's not . " She gently hit my chest . " What's okay about losing clients ? All because of that post I made about Harper? What the fuck does my personal life have to do with my professional life ? " " A lot , actually ," Kate chimed in . " Shut the fuck up ! " Tiffany snapped at her , then burst into tears again . " This is all Harper's fault ! I'll make her pay for this . " " Aren't you the one who started this ? " I asked . " Are you defending her ? " She scowled . I kissed her forehead . " Of course not . Why would I defend her ? Come here ." My grip on her waist tightened as I guided her to the bed . I sat down first then brought her close so she could rest her head on my chest . " It hurts so bad , " she sniffled . " Did you tell your mom ? " I wiped her tears . " No. " " And your dad ? " She shot me a glare . " You know exactly what he'll say and I don't want to hear it ! " " But you can't hide something like this . I'm certain that they already know . " " They definitely do ," Kate chimed in . " They've been calling her and sending messages . She just won't respond ." She buried her face in my chest again as she burst into tears , her makeup smearing the fabric of my suit . 7:27 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 23 : 77 55 vouchers I thought back to the day she'd made that post so she could humiliate Harper and my father - in - law had actually scolded her for it . He'd hinted at the possibility of something like that happening and even I had highly doubted it as Tiffany's family was quite influential in the corporate world . Many wished to work with them but in the end , that wasn't a good look for her . It was a good thing he was out of town with my mother - in - law . Otherwise , he would've reminded her of the day he told her about the possible consequences of her actions . My phone began to ring and I raised my hip to take it out of my pocket , the caller ID making me sigh . It was my assistant , probably calling to remind me about how important that day's meeting was . " It's the office . Just give me a second ." My voice was gentle . I gently got up from the bed , Tiffany now resting her head on a pillow while I spoke to my assistant in the hallway . After the call , I opened the bedroom door and signaled to Kate to step out so I could have a word with her . She came to me , rubbing the sides of her arms as her back leaned against the wall . " I don't like seeing Tiff like this . I hope she'll be okay ." " Can you stay with her until I'm back ? " She crossed her arms . " Yeah , but I don't know for how long . It'll all depend on the time Maddox wants us to meet up . We have plans ." I nodded , impressed . " You two have been getting real close this past week . Keep it up ." " It's only about to get better ." She smirked . Tiffany still needed me , but I assured her I'd come straight home and be with her afterwards . It took a lot of convincing for her to let me go and I loved every moment of it . I had to change my suit first , then headed out . As soon as I was in the car , Harper sent me a text . " Hey , is everything okay ? " I chuckled in satisfaction at her concern , then called her immediately . " Hey , what happened ? " she asked as soon as she picked up . My ego was boosted even further by how quickly she had picked up . " Tiffany lost some huge clients ," I said . " Oh , how come ? " " That post she made about you got her in trouble . " 7:27 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 23 I didn't get an immediate response . 77 55 vouchers " How's she doing ? " she finally said . I chuckled . " She was trying to humiliate you and yet here you are , worried about her . That's one of the many things I love about you , Harp . Don't ever lose that part of you . It makes you even more beautiful as a person . " " Thanks ." She sounded like she was smiling . Of course she was . How could she not after receiving a compliment from me ? " I have to go now . I'll call you later ," I said . " Yeah , later . " She was still smiling and it was all thanks to me . After the call , Kate sent me a text , telling me how long she would stay with Tiffany before leaving to meet Maddox . She'd finally gotten an answer from him . It was more than enough time for me to make it back home . The last time he'd dropped her off after lunch at the estate , things didn't go as planned . He didn't fuck her , but everything was different the following day . I remember Kate's excitement when she told Tiffany that he wanted to see her . I should have been bothered by how fast things now moved between the two of them again , but I was glad because Harper was back to being alone and that was my sweet spot . I lied when I told her that I couldn't go to see her sooner . I only stayed away so she'd miss me more and when I showed up at her doorstep unannounced , I could see how much she missed the face - to - face interaction just by how she held me tight . I knew exactly how to keep her warm without giving her heat . She was too easy to read no matter how hard she tried to pretend when around me . She was still in love with me and I would forever use that to my advantage . She had already fucked Maddox twice but after he only focused on Kate , I was certain it wouldn't happen a third time because how could she possibly end up in his bed again ? 田 AD Comment Send gift No Ads 7:27 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
