The CEO's Second Choice novel Chapter 8

Wow. Rude.

"Excuse me?" I ask her, taken aback by her rudeness.

"Eliana Wiltshire, Mr Dumonts does not wish to see you." She answers me, then resumes typing. Oh, they thought I was Eliana. But that makes little sense. Why would they treat me so coldly if no one outside of our family knew about the hidden scandal?

"I am not Eliana, that is my sister." I say and hold up my left hand, "I am Elena Wiltshire and Sebastian is my fiance. I wish to speak with him, please." This woman, were they against Eliana here?

Her eyes widen at my claim and she clears her throat, "Miss Elena! Oh, I am so sorry!" She says, sputtering and turning red. "Mr Dumont is currently in a meeting, but you can head up to the top floor and they will buzz you in when he is available."

I fix her with an icy stare, then head towards the elevator. Did people here really care about Sebastian that much? Was he a good boss to them after all?

Shaking my head as the elevator opens, I spot a woman walking out of what I suppose was Sebastian's office. She turns at the door and I see Sebastian walk out, wrapping his arm around her and kissing her as if she was his only air he needed. This display left me shaken to my core. Wasn't this the man who got mad when Nicholas just hugged me.

I clear my throat loud enough for them to hear me, and their heads whip towards where I stood. The woman in Sebastian's arms stared at me, then gently pushed him away and scurried off.

I shake my head and stare after her, then my eyes land on Sebastian. His eyes widen in surprise, then he walks towards me and grabs me by the wrist, pulling me into his office. He pushed me against the back of his office door, then placed his hands on either side of my head, caging me in yet again.

"Sebastian-"

"Shh, you do not get to speak, Elena," He says in a stern voice, and I flinch at the bourbon on his breath. I peer up into his eyes and notice that he was angry. Is my being here upsetting him that much?

"I don't know what you did, but there are rumours going around about Eliana and her cheating ways. Someone tipped off the press." He says through gritted teeth, "I know it pissed you off at the prospect of marrying me, but you did not need to go this far."

Wait, the secret was out and everyone thought it was me?

"Why would I still be wearing this if I went to the press with my sister's sordid news?" I ask him, holding up my hand to show him the engagement ring. "I would not do something like that, Sebastian."

"Because you're the good sister, right?" He says, moving his face closer to mine. A blush creeps onto my cheeks and he pins me with his gaze.

Before I knew it, Sebastian's lips were on mine, his tongue begging for entry and I submit to him, drowning in his kiss and his scent invading my senses. Our tongues played and danced in unison, and Sebastian wraps his arms around my waist as my hand snakes around his neck.

I don't know what made me do it, but I suddenly push him away, out of breath and my face red with embarrassment.

He looked at me and flashed me a sly grin, "Not so much of a good girl anymore, are you?" He remarks and I turn on my heel, running out of his office. I didn't stop until I reached the Maybach and I told the driver to take me home.
