Chapter Six

Cole didn’t know what the hell was going on with Lexi. Everything was great until she completely blew him off and refused to take his calls. It had been three days since she’d started behaving like that. He’d thought the white lilies he sent on their three-month anniversary were a great idea. But maybe she took offense at them for some odd reason. He didn’t peg her to be the kind of woman who got irritated at ordinary gestures, but one can never be certain when it came to women. What if she didn’t like the color of the flowers or expected him to send something better?

His ex once threw a tantrum when he didn’t give her the gold necklace she was expecting and instead offered a ring in its place. But then, Lexi wasn’t like that.

Or so he thought.

Well, whatever the reason, he was determined to get to the bottom of this mystery. Cole marched along the pavement as he searched for the place she was currently working. Her assistant told him that she was organizing a birthday party at a restaurant today and work or not, he was going to talk to her. When he reached the venue, Cole took a deep breath before he stepped inside. The whole place was festooned with white and silver decorations. Fat, white candlesticks sat on tables along with bouquets of white flowers. In the far end was the cake table which was the picture of true elegance. He saw Lexi as she stood talking to a guy who was dressed in jeans and a T-shirt.

“Those three tablecloths need to be changed. I don’t care where you have to go to bring their replacement, but I want it done within an hour,” she ordered in a soft but firm voice.

“No one is going to notice the stains on the borders.”

“I’ve noticed and that’s enough for me,” she said. “Even if no one else sees it, I would know that they are dirty and it would make me unhappy. And also, one of the candles is an inch shorter than the others.”

“It’s…” the guy closed his mouth, probably realizing that there was no point saying anything. “I’ll change it.”

“Good.” Lexi turned, saw Cole, and took a step back. “What are you doing here?”

“I came to talk to you.” Cole could see the temper rile in her eyes. Clearly, there was something going on over here, but unfortunately, he didn’t have a clue why she was so annoyed with him. And if there was something that set her off, why didn’t she talk to him about it? He didn’t like games, and he had thought she was above them.

Clearly he was wrong.

“I don’t have time to talk.” She turned her back on him. “We’ll meet another day.”

He wasn’t ready to be brushed aside. Irritation coupled with rage rose up inside him, but he curbed it down. “We’re going to talk now. Surely, you can spare a few minutes.”

“I’m afraid I can’t.”

He didn’t budge. “Make the time to do so.
