Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Always the Priority

Kelly’s POV

Before going to work, I stopped by the nearest coffee shop to buy a coffee. I was scrolling through my cellphone while falling in line.

“Cappuccino on ice, please.”

While waiting for my order, I sat on the nearest table, still looking at my phone when suddenly, a familiar scent of a male perfume filled my nose. A man suddenly sat on the seat in front of me.

My lips parted and my heart raced when I lifted my face and saw him.

“Uh...” I don’t know what to say.

He scratched his temple and stared into my eyes. “I’m sorry, there are no vacant seats anywhere.”

I roamed my eyes round and he’s right.

Slowly, I just nodded my head and looked at my phone again, distracting myself when I’m already distracted by his presence.

Why is he here? His company wasn’t in this area.

“It’s...you,” he broke the silence.

I cursed inside my head when I remember I’m just wearing light makeup today.

I lifted my face again and smiled at him. “What is it, sir?”

He cleared his throat. “The event. Auction.”

I pretended to be shocked as I slowly nodded and snapped my fingers. “Right! Thought you’re familiar. So...we have met, that’s why.”

It’s so freaking awkward. I don’t know what to do. Pierce’s presence is taking my breath away when he’s not doing anything but just sitting in front of me. This is crazy!

“Elle, right?” He asked, staring intently at my face.

I don’t know but unlike when I saw him at the auction event, his aura seemed light today. His eyes weren’t lifeless anymore and he seemed so happy.

“Yeah. You are?” I asked curiously.

He offered his hand for a handshake and smiled. “Pierce. Pierce Anderson.”

His brown eyes and the emotions in it were too much. I feel like drowning.

I don’t know. But I feel like he’s trying to confirm something and I definitely know it concerns my identity.

I know he’s smart and I’m expecting him to do this, but not too early.

“Nice to meet—”

“Miss Elle Young?” My name was called from the counter, interrupting my supposed shake hands with Pierce and I silently thanked Heavens for that.

I looked at Pierce and smiled. “Nice meeting you, Mr. Anderson. But I got to go.”

I didn’t wait for his answer. I pulled myself up and nervously walked towards the counter. Before I left the coffee shop, I looked at Pierce again and caught him watching me.

My heart skipped a beat and I waved at him to act naturally. Damn! Did he notice my shock? But I didn’t look back, he might get even more suspicious of me.

“Good morning, Elle!” It was Mary who’s already so energetic early in the morning.

I went straight to my table and sat on it as I took a deep sigh.

Pierce would try to find a way to make me admit my real identity. I don’t wanna lie to him and play with him like this, but I think this is the best for now.

“The event was successful! Mr. Walter was so pleased because of the outcome of the event. We also gained a few sponsors.” Our team manager excitedly told us the news.

The event was successful and my plans were coming towards the success too. I just hope no one or nothing ruins it.
