“He’s in a meeting.”
“I need to speak with him.”
Meredith keeps her gaze fixed on me. “Alexa, far from me to get involved. I’m aware things between you and Mr. Cash escalated personally. However, I don’t think it’s wise to bring it up, nor is it wise to see him.”
“It’s important, Meredith. I wish I didn’t have to be here, but I wouldn’t ask to see him unless it was absolutely necessary.”
Meredith sighs. “I understand.”
“So, could you get him for me?”
“Now? Alexa, he’s in the middle of a meeting.”
“Yeah, and I’m in the middle of a life crisis. Again, I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important.”
She stands up, pushing the chair back into the desk.
“Come with me.”
I follow her through the corridor and down to his office. She opens the door, instructing me to stay in there. With the door closed behind me, I scan the area and take it all in.
Everything is exactly the same. Even the smell of his cologne lingers in the air. The scent brings back so many memories, but I force many of them away, knowing now is not the time to remember how he felt against my body while whispering dirty things in my ear.
Hunter prided himself on a neat office. Everything had its place, and God forbid his pens weren’t in order.
The longer I stand here, the higher my anxiety climbs. I clutch my stomach, wondering if I bailed, would Meredith tell him.
I can’t take it anymore, but then I hear the door creak. My eyes close, knowing this is it. There is no turning back.
“Alexandra,” he says in a deep voice.
Three… two… one.
I turn around swiftly, my eyes immediately meeting his. The walls of my chest tighten, making breathing impossible. Sweat has built in my palms while his stare fixates on me.
“Hunter,” I choke. “It’s nice to see you again.”
“You didn’t look too pleased to see me in Manhattan, or was it your boyfriend who had the issue with seeing me?”
“Beau is not my boyfriend,” I correct him.
Hunter keeps his expression blank, moving past me to take a seat in his black leather chair. He’s dressed in a dark blue suit with a vest beneath, but I ignore how handsome he looks and try to remember how I felt when he announced he was having a child with Kathy. I hated him, shocked he cheated on me.Focus on that.
“Firstly, I’m sorry to hear about the news.”
“News?”
“The baby. You and Kathy. I’m sorry.”
He raises his brow. “Is that what you came here for?”
“No…” I trail off, unsure how to bring this up. “I need to speak to you, but this is hard.”
“Look, Alexandra. As much as I love an impromptu visit from someone I was sleeping with, I do have a meeting to get back to.”
My eyes flick up, staring at him with annoyance.Someone he was sleeping with?God, he makes it sound like what we had was absolutely nothing, which makes this all the worse.
“So, tell me,” I start with an irritated tone. “How did you find time to screw Kathy while you were sleeping with me?”
