Chapter 34: Dark side

ELLA'S POV

"Explain Ella." Mark commanded.

I am so nervous. Why am I nervous?
They are my friends. Well my only friend.

I close the door of the room and lock it and I sat down on the floor legs crossed.
Might as well be comfortable because I have a feeling that this is a very long interrogation.

"Well? We're waiting." I look up and both of them and they crossed their arms on their chest at the same time. They are staring down at me.

I look down on my fingers and start playing with it.

"Gideon and I is in a relationship."
I started.

"No shit. Ella."

"For a few months now I think." I continued.

"The fuck? A few months? And why are we learning this now?"

"Because I want it to be a secret at first because I know people will judge me but then I realize in the long run it will be hard to keep our relationship since Gideon is an influential person and I don't want him to think that I am ashamed of our relationship. Gideon wants our relationship to be publicized but he did not force me to reveal our relationship. He told me it should be always at my pace. He never hides his affection to me. "

Total silence.

Both of them sat down in front of me. I am still not looking at them. We look like an idiots sitting on the floor where there are available chairs in this room.

Mark and Eric hold my hand. I look at them and they are smiling so big I swear I can see all their teeths wisdom tooth included.

"You are not angry?" I ask.

They shake their heads.

"Girl! Of all the man in this planet you chose the most cold hearted one! You are strange!" Eric squealed and then they both hug me.

"Let's stand up I want to do a group hug properly."

We stand up and did a group hug.

After our group hug we sat down on the chair and they ask me to elaborate what really happened and what did I do to "catch" Gideon.

I told them what happened from the start and after I finish my story both of their faces are in shock.

"So you mean you know him for almost half a year now and you've been dating for 3 months? Did I understand it correctly?"

I nodded.

"And you are living with him for almost a month because Scarlet is a bitch?"
Eric clarified.

"Yes."

"That bitch. How dare her to judge you. I am surprise that Sir Rosen-Hower did not cancel the contract of her boyfriend." Mark exclaimed.

"Cancel the contract? Why would he do that?"

"Girl you don't know?"

"Know what?" I ask puzzled.

"He owns the record company that Scarlet's boyfriend is signed in."

I made a pikachu face you know the meme. I swear we look the same at this point.

"Not only that he owned the leading media channel in our country. That's why you can not see any news about him in TV or in print because no one will dare to slander our boss."

"He dabbles is many types of businesses so it is hard to keep up." Eric added.

Gideon is wow. I never knew that he is that influential. I only know he is rich but to think that he might be friends with the owner of Walmart is amazing.
