Chapter 7. She Was His Wife

Albie's POV

Casually I glanced at the phone and the caller ID pricked my nerves. Daniel.

I knew who that was, her supposed husband and he was so adamant about her picking his call. Why did he have to call when I was finally able to get some alone time with her?

My shoulders slumped slightly, disappointment caught up in my mind. All my efforts to get her alone with me will be wasted.

I specifically didn't let her know who it was and chose this beautiful restaurant as our meeting place so we could end up spending more time together.

She played right into my plan by asking to treat me to a meal, she actually beat me to it and I don't mind. It just shows she was interested in me in a way, even if she hasn't realized it yet.

I knew it shouldn't make me happy and it meant nothing but a man could only hope. She could have done it out of kindness and the fact I was her new colleague. I was going to enjoy every single moment of it.
