Lust Contracts 18+ Hunting for Love with My Three Contract Husbands

61 My CEO Fiancé

While I was looking around, Brandon headed straight my way. I felt the intensity of his presence even before I saw him standing in front of me. The moment of our dreaded reunion was now upon me, and it took a lot of effort to smile pleasantly at him. If I thought that our passionate one-night stand from earlier bothered him or changed anything between us, I was sorely wrong.

Brandon looked at my face wordlessly before his eyes traveled down my body all the way down to my feet and then up again. It was clear that he was appraising me and not for my looks or sex appeal. After a moment of silence, he nodded as if quite satisfied with what he was seeing. I let out a breath of relief that made me realize how nervous I had been until just now.

“You look passable. I’ll get more clothes tailored for you. I’ll cover the expenses, don’t worry,” Brandon said emotionlessly.

“Ok...” I mumbled softly.

“Come this way,” Brandon said as he offered me a hand.

My eyes widened at his unexpected gesture. He wants me to hold his hand? Here in his office? Really?

My questioning and slightly shocked expression must have been clear to him because Brandon quickly closed the distance between us so that his next words would be for my ears only.


“You’re my fiancée. We’re supposed to be madly in love everywhere that we go, including this office,” he reminded me in a whisper.

“Right...” I whispered in reply as I nodded my head.
.....

“Let’s try that again,” Brandon said calmly.

He took a step away from me and offered me his hand. I’ve held his hand before more times than I could even begin to count but it still made me feel uncomfortable to do it now. Slowly, I placed my hand into his and immediately his hand held mine firmly.

“I’m happy that you could make it today,” Brandon said with a charming smile.

His grey eyes smiled at me cunningly and I knew that the days ahead would be littered with thorns and nails. Not quit knowing what to say, I chose to offer him a sweet and bright smile that I had in stock.

“Come along. I’ll take you to my office and then we’ll be having a very important meeting,” Brandon said like it was nothing as he pulled me along with him.

I tried to keep up with him in my heels. Brandon must have realized my struggle because he slowed his pace to match mine so that I could walk comfortably at his side. The way he dressed hasn’t changed at all. His clothes were pretty much the same as the ones that he liked to wear before, and it had become his signature look whenever he appeared in public or he was covered in the media. Blue suit, black shirt or turtleneck sweater and matching black pants.

Brandon led me up what seemed to be a private elevator that led straight up to his floor. He hadn’t said a word since leaving the lobby. My mind continued to reminiscent on the time in the past when I used to compliment him on how his outfit really complimented the color of his eyes. It hasn’t been that long ago, but it felt like it was a lifetime away.

“What are you daydreaming about?” Brandon asked and I felt his eyes on me.

Oh...

“Nothing...sorry...” I replied.

“I see. Please focus on your job, My Lady,” he said sternly just when the elevator came to a stop.

The door automatically opened when we arrived at our designated floor. Brandon gestured for me to step out first and I had to say that his gentlemanly action caught me a little off guard. His floor was decorated in line with the lobby downstairs.

“This is my floor. My personal office is here along with various meeting and conference rooms. There’s also a gym and a bedroom in case I need to stay over,” Brandon explained.

I was amazed at how big and spacious the place was. Wasn’t it a little over the top to have an entire floor to himself? I guess when you’re the CEO and the owner of the company, you could do anything that you wanted. It was hard to imagine that this company was started out of the apartment room that we used to share back in college. I bit my lower lip and winced at the memory that crossed my mind. Before my mind would drag me further down memory lane, I crushed that thought.

Whatever we had is over now. The Brandon that I see right now isn’t the same man from back then and the Elena that I am right now, isn’t the same girl from back then either.

“Are you, ok?” Brandon asked and I could sense a hint of concern in his voice.

“Of course. Why wouldn’t I be?” I asked with a teasing smile as I tried to cover up how disturbed I had felt just now.

“Good. Come this way, we need to talk a little before we start the day,” Brandon instructed as he led the way.

He brought me to a large room that was his personal office. The most amazing thing about the room was the unobstructed view of the city and the sky that could be seen from this high floor. I knew that money could buy many things but one of the most impressive of those things was a view just like this.

“Wow...this view is something,” I complimented openly.

I headed to stand right in front of the glass that separated me from the air outside. A long wall of glass showcased the view outside perfectly. If it looks so breathtakingly beautiful in the day, I wondered what it would look like at night with all the lights on contrasting against the dark of night.

Apart from the view, his office had the standard composition of a CEO’s office. A large and long table to host private meetings. A grey leather sofa set with a coffee table in the middle. His large work desk and matching chair. Brandon’s office was sparkling clean and lacked any signs of him.
