His Mate, His Girlfriend by Sunshine Princess
Chapter 34

‘I love and respect whatever sexual orientation you are,” I kiss his cheek.

Thanks, babe. For now, I’ll just let life take over,” @

That’s the way,”

Are you going to work today?” he asked, I nodded begrudgingly. Just thinking I’ll see Ellis at work today was driving me anxious.

The Elevator

Love

I got ready for work and went to Luis’ room. I pushed the door open and gasped when I found a half-naked man sleeping in his bed. He signaled me to keep quiet and I backed away, in the hall.

You didn’t mention having company,” I said.

“Nothing happened. We were both too drunk,” he said. I raised my eyebrow.

Nothing happened because you were drunk? Or is it because of the exquisite ‘witch’ you slept with,” I said suggestively?

The former,” he convinced, but I saw a blush on his face.

Ok, anyway, I’m late. Can you get the twins ready for school today?” I

asked.

By the way, they saw me heavily making out with him last night in the foyer. They have questions, and I have been avoiding them,” he told me. That’s going to be a long talk. I was exhausted on his behalf.

Good luck talking to them about it!” I yelled and turned on my heel.

Hey! Can I wait for you!” he shouted after me. I closed the front door, pretending I didn’t hear him.

I reached the office building just in time as there was no traffic because it was still early. I grabbed my coffee, laptop, and bag while heading to the elevator.

My hands were full, and Jamie wasn’t here yet, so I carried all this myself. I received a Facetime call from Solara, and I answered it.

“Mummy, he’s not helping me put on my shoe,” Solara cried.

”

Cay, help your sister with shoes, please. She can’t reach it with a broken arm,” I told him, knowing he was close to her. They were arguing about something.

“Why did you leave so early today, Mommy? Now, I have to do

everything for Lara since Luis has run off to his bedroom again,” he

scowled.

He’ll come out soon. Just give him time,” I said as I struggled to

reach the elevator button.

Babe-Can we talk later? My hands are full,” I breathed, trying to

balance everything I was carrying and pressing the elevator button.

No, Mommy! She’s doing it on purpose, this is the second time she has changed shoes!” he showed me Solara’s shoes.

A hand beat me to press the panel, and I raised my head to see who did it. Ellis. My heart raced in my chest, and I wanted to be transported out of there immediately by whatever means, anything. I didn’t want to face my ex. His face was stone cold, and a chill went up my spine. Beside him was Michael. Why were they here so early today? F uck.

Η

Thanks,” I murmured, not holding his gaze for too long and getting in the elevator. Surprisingly, they entered. The bosses had theirs, so why did he get on this one? The elevator felt small, and I couldn’t breathe properly.

I’m not switching her shoes again!” Cayden shouted, startling me. I forgot for a second that I was on Facetime with my kids. Michael smiled nervously and took my bag from my hands without asking me.

I nodded my thanks with a small smile.

Cay, I can’t talk right now, please help Lara in her new shoes,”

‘Well, she’s going to school without shoes because I’m not helping

her,”

“Mummy, I told him I didn’t want the shoes he was giving me. I wa my pink diamond shoes!” Solara was resolute. I inwardly groaned, feeling the two men’s gaze on me. I wanted the elevator to end as quickly as it could.

“Lara,” I called gently.

Mummy, I’m not wearing any other shoes,” her bottom lip started to tremble. Solara was about to cry.

“You’ll wear them. Go to Dada’s room, and he’ll help you,” I said with

a smile. I didn’t want her to cry now.

He doesn’t open,”

He was kissing a man yesterday!” Cayden laughed. Ellis’ eyes

narrowed. Why the heck was he staring at me the entire time? Was he shameless?

“Yes, I saw too. Why was Dada kissing a man?” Solara asked inquisitively.

Can we discuss this later?” I whispered.

“OK. Bye-bye, Mummy!”

Bye, have a good day! Cay, you better be looking out for sister and call me if anything,” I said and ended the call. I exhaled loudly. I didn’t look at the two men in the elevator.

The silence was loud. Ellis didn’t greet me like he would. He must be angry at me. Why was I worried? I did nothing wrong. S

The elevator is slow,” Michael murmured.

It had a problem a few days ago, that’s why,” I answered, swallowing.

“Oh, I see,”

Michael was breathing and exhaling, muttering incoherent sentences.

Will you stop it,” Ellis made a low growl of annoyance.

“It’s a little hot in here,” Michael grumbled. I was happy when the elevator got to the top floor. However, it didn’t open immediately.

“Why is the da mn thing not opening,” Ellis groused, sounding annoyed. You could have used your elevator. I barked in my head, shooting him a glance.

Do you have something to say to me?” he asked.

Nope, sir,” I reverberated, and he scoffed. The elevator opened, and Michael pushed forward and bolted out of there.
