His Lovely Obsession (English)

Chapter 62

She heard Nick cursed. "I'll call you back honey." he said before he ended the call.

She stomped her right foot in annoyance. He hang up on her because of that woman!

Jealousy is eating her. The people in the whole building where Nick's office is including her know how

much Tanya wants Nick for herself.

"B*tch!" she said gnashing her teeth.

She is very much annoyed so she decided to take a shower and go to Eve's but texted Nick first.

To: Nick

I don't need a car. You don't have to go home early because I am going somewhere anyway.

She turned off her phone after sending the message.

She sighed heavily and felt her anger towards him eased a bit when she saw the note on the table next

to a plate with a club sandwich.

Eat your yogurt and salad too honey. They're in the fridge.

She smiled but only for a second. She carefully looked at the note. The handwriting seems familiar but

then she just shook her head and sighed. She is probably just hungry.

***

Eve is going grocery shopping and she will tag along.

"Well you made the right decision girlfriend! It's high time you left your mom and stepdad's house!

Spare yourself from your evil half-sister's claws!" Eve said while fumbling for her keys in her bag.

" I know." she responded quietly.

"Let's go. I'm glad you came so at least buying groceries will be more fun than usual. Blake even gave

me his grocery list. Argh! By the way, where did you sleep last night? I thought you will stay here with

me?"

"Hmm.. are you working tonight?" she asked to evade her question.

"Yup around 9! Do you want to come? You can just watch. "

She wants to say yes but Nick is jealous of Blake and she doesn't want any trouble between the two

men.

"No not tonight. " she said.

"Blake is also worried about you. I told him you left your uncle John's house last night." Eve said as

they got in her car.

Stacey couldn't help smiling. Blake really cares about her.

"I want to see where you are currently staying. I will drop you off there later. "

Stacey chewed the inside of her cheek. She has to tell her friend now because sooner or later she will

discover the truth anyway.

"Eve.." she began." I want to tell you something...."

Eve's eyes are on the heavy traffic ahead. Then her phone started ringing.

"Hold on girlfriend, I have to get this call. .Yes?" Eve asked the caller.

That's when Stacey remembered her cellphone She looked at the time, it's past 11 AM. Her phone has

been off for 2 hours. She is aware that she is acting like a child when she turned it off but she didn't

want to talk to Nick yet. After an hour she will turn it back on.

"Stacey Blake wants to talk to you."

With a slight frown, she took the phone. "Blake?"

"How are you Miss Hotness? What happened last night? I thought you were supposed to have coffee

with Eve but you were only together for less than half an hour. I was also surprised that your egotistical

boss's friend took her home. " he said with a dry tone.

She chose not to reply. She has a pretty good idea how the cousins would react once they knew that

she is living with Nick.

"I didn't have any plan to go out but since you are with Eve, I'll both treat you to lunch .I'll meet you two

somewhere. I will bring you home after the meal. See you later Miss Hotness." he said before hanging

up.

(Nick)

"Shit!" he said through clenched teeth.

He has been trying to contact Stacey but her number isn't available. He got her message 3 hours ago.

He immediately called her but to no avail. He feels that she is mad because she heard Tanya's voice.

He had to end the call since he didn't want Tanya to hear his conversation with Stacey .He can't risk it.

The other woman might attempt to do something to ruin what he has with his woman. Tanya has been

acting like a jealous girlfriend so he had a long talk with her. He asked her what she told Stacey the

other day which made the latter upset. He ordered her to leave Stacey alone.

A bad word came out of him again when he read Stacey's text message for the nth time. He knows that

she will be defiant about him getting her a car but his mind is made up. He will definitely get her a car

whether she likes it or not. He will install a tracking device as usual. He wants to know her whereabouts

all the time.

Where the fuck is she?!

Since she said that she won't be home, he asked his secretary to call back one of his clients so he can

meet him in an hour. He is hoping that after his meeting, Stacey is already at his unit or he can finally

talk to her on the phone. He raked his hand through his hair. He doesn't like this feeling. He is

paranoid. He is wondering what she is doing and who she is with.

"What?!!" Eve exclaimed when she finally revealed the truth.

" I told him that you were expecting me but he insisted I go with him." she said without looking at her

friend.

Eve whistled while shaking her head in disbelief.

"Well this is something that I didn't expect to happen! A lot of men are interested in you and want you to

be their girlfriend but you turned them down. And now this? You said yes to your hot boss's offer? " Eve

sighed. " Oh well! I can't blame you! Come to think of it, I won't say no if I were you to be honest." she

added with a giggle.

Stacey shook her head and laughed quietly.

" The million dollar question is, are you ready for a lot of stress? By the looks of it, oceans of women

lust after him. Your boss slash boyfriend is hot as hell. "

She bit her bottom lip and with a sad tone said, " He's not my boyfriend."

"Duh?! It's obvious that you have the hots for each other why not make it official? What's stopping you

anyway?" Eve asked with a raised brow.

Stacey looked out the window. "I have my reasons. One day, I promise, I'll tell you."

She is now more confused after what happened to the two of them last night but she doesn't regret

anything. If only Derick would take her calls or message her back, she won't feel this way. She is really

worried about him. She hasn't heard from him and tomorrow is already Friday.

"Well if you need my help shooing females who are after him, I am just a call away. " Eve said with a

wide grin.

She laughed lightly but stopped when she thought of Tanya. She released a sigh.

***

After grocery shopping, they went to the seafood restaurant where Blake is waiting for them.

Eve's cousin sat next to her and he offered to shell the shrimps for her. Some diners probably think that

they are a couple by the way Blake was acting towards her. Eve didn't say anything but from time to

time a light frown crosses her face.

Their conversation was very light and Stacey is really enjoying her food and her company. Then a

woman maybe in her 50s came over their table.

"Blake?" she called .

Surprise registered on Blake's face for a few seconds but he recovered immediately. He moved the

plate with shelled shrimps closer to Stacey before wiping his hands with the table napkin.

"Hello aunt Liz."he greeted the woman.

Eve looked uncomfortable but she also said hi to her.

The woman moved her eyes to her. " Who is she Blake?"

"She's Stacey. She is our friend." This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Stacey smiled at the woman though she seems to be glaring at her.

"Friend?" the woman asked with a heavy frown.

"Can we talk privately Aunt Liz?" Blake suggested.

With one last angry look at Stacey, the woman turned her back to them and Blake followed her.

"Whew!!" Eve sighed heavily while fanning her face with her hand.

"Who's that? " she asked.

"Kristel's mom."

A crease appeared on Stacey's forehead. "Kristel?"

"Kristel.. you know.. Blake's..." Eve rolled her eyes without finishing what she's saying.

Stacey covered her mouth with her hand. "Oh my! Is that why she seems angry with me? She probably

thought that Blake and I..."

"Probably.." Eve said with a heavy sigh. "Don't mind her. We know the truth anyway."

They both turned their head to the right when they heard a voice.

"What a nice scene! I hope you won't choke on those shrimps!"the newcomer said with a sneer.

Stacey's eyes widened.

"W-What are you doing here?" she asked the newcomer nervously.

She is dead meat!
