Chapter Eleven

Ursula shook the hands of both men. She recognised them from when they’d been at Stephen house when she was still his employee.

“It’s nice to meet you both. I’m Ursula Mills. Where is Stephen? Has he hidden away being moody?” she asked. She thought she’d done a great job of the get-together. When he’d asked her to organise and host it for him several months ago she hadn’t thought how important it was to her for it to be perfect.

“He’s in his office. We wanted to talk to the woman who has taken her place in his life.” Lucas leaned in close placing a hand at the back of the wall. She frowned at his closeness but didn’t say anything.

“Yeah, tell us about yourself.”

She smiled at both men. They were clearly trying to get to know the woman their friend was with.

“Okay, you want to know about me?”

They nodded. “I met Stephen during my interview. He’d lost his last housekeeper, I think through an argument about his life or something. We met, we hit off, and he hired me. I’ve been cleaning and cooking his house ever since.”

“Is that all you are? A cleaner?” Lucas asked. He reached out to stroke her hair. She pulled away from him. The only man who could touch her was Stephen. She didn’t like the thought of another’s touch.

“I’m more than a cleaner. If you don’t like the fact I’m Stephen’s girlfriend, then tell him you don’t like his choice.” She moved away from them feeling hurt. Why was she hurt when she knew his friends wouldn’t like her? They only saw a gold-digger. She walked into the kitchen in time to see two of the male waiters kissing passionately.

A gasp escaped her, and they broke apart offering excuses.

“Don’t worry about it. I’m going to get some fresh air,” she said. The passionate display by the two men in the kitchen reminded her of the way Stephen took her in the same room. The frozen night gripped her. She liked being cold as it would dampen her arousal for the older man currently sulking in his study.

What had she gotten herself into?

Ursula stared out into the night thinking about her situation. All she did was doubt herself with Stephen when he was not in her company. Should she take it as a sign?

The thoughts and doubts were driving her crazy. She didn’t know what to make of everything that was happening to her. Her parents wanted to meet the man she’d moved in with. She knew they would be unhappy when they saw him. Most people knew who Stephen Knox was even if they weren’t in the same social circles.

She fingered the pendant he’d given her. Why did he have to give her a family heirloom? Every time she thought they were having fun then he’d give her something that made her feel more and more like his girlfriend or wife than a lover. She knew he hadn’t given this pendant to anyone else.
