"Cassie! Cassie.. Don't make me go back there this instant.. I don't- Cassie!" I walked out with Marco yelling at the phone.
"What's wrong?"
"Going back to New York.."
"What's wrong dude?"
"Shit!" Suddenly Axel came out from the meeting room as well.
"What the hell?!" I said.
"You need to check on Irene.. Olivia's at a strip club with the girls." Daniel said and my eyes widened. I can't believe they always do this when we're going somewhere.
I called Irene immediately..
"Hey babe."
"Where are you?" I asked.
"At the cafe."
"Don't lie to me!" I bursted angrily.
"Joel.. Why would you think that I lie to you? I'm at the cafe."
"Irene.. Go back to the house and don't even think about having male strippers in front of you!" I bursted angrily and I swear.. my temper..
"Joel!! I'm baking!! Don't give me that tone!! You know that I never lie to you!!" She bursted back angrily and ended the call.
I tried to call her again but she didn't answer. Shit! She's mad. I should have trust her!
"Sorry.." Archer bumped into me and ran fast. Archer, Marco and Daniel went off. I ran my hands through my hair completely frustrated.
"You okay?" Matthew asked.
"Irene pissed at me because I thought she was going to the strip club with the girls."
"You were mad at her?"
"Yeah.. I mean you know the girls always do something when we're away."
"Yeah that's right.. I mean.. Not everytime that all of them join."
"Yeah.. I bursted angrily at her and she's pissed now."
"Go join them.. Go back to New York." Matthew said and I raised my eyebrows.
"We haven't finished the contract and the 3 left."
"Nah we're good. I still have Morris and Aiden. We're good.. so go.."
"Yeah.. Thanks!" I said and I quickly joined Archer, Marco and Daniel. I quickly drove back to the airport and joined them to get on Archer's private jet.
Suddenly my phone vibrates and it means Irene contacted me.
Irene : DONT TALK TO ME!
She sent a video CCTV footage of her baking. I sighed and slapped myself for having this temper. I will be so mad if she really goes to the strip club. Thank God.. Irene is not as crazy as Cassie, Olivia and Calla.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I bursted out to Irene."
"Because of us?" Marco asked.
"Of course because your wives all crazy." I said.
"I still can't believe that Olivia went to a strip club." Daniel said blankly.
"So do I.." Archer said.
"I bet Cassie started everything." Daniel hissed.
"Just because she's an ex-mafia puppet.. she's bad." Marco defended her.
"She is bad!" Daniel and Archer said in unison. Suddenly we all got a message in our group chat.
Dylan : Lauren! I can't believe you hack my tracking system!
Brandon : You're the idiot one!
Autumn : That's for being stupid
Morris : Babe..
Andrew : I have Calla, Olivia, Cassie, Cailey, Stella, Priscilla, Lauren and Joan on the list..
Axel : WTF?! Stella!
Andrew : Oh wait.. There's Scarlette too.. oh.. got Autumn too
Morris : Next time.. I'm going to bring her anywhere.
Olivia : Call me Justin..
"What the frick!!!" Daniel bursted angrily beside me.
Cailey : That Reed guy is hot
Stella : So cute
Axel : STELLA!!!!!!! ANSWER THE DAMN PHONE!
Zac : Don't tell me they're drunk..
Andrew : They are!
"Irene's not on the list.." Marco said.
"Yeah.. I know.."
After a long flight.. We arrived at New York. I got into my car and drive straight to Irene's cafe. The lights still on and it's 11 at night. I parked right in front of it and walked out. I knocked on the door and I saw Irene walking out.
When she saw me, she walked back in like she saw nothing.
"Irene.." I called her again and again but still she's ignoring me. After calling her for a good 20 minutes.. She walked out and unlocked the door. She glared at me and not letting me touch her.
"Don't even touch me!" She hissed coldly and walked back to the kitchen. She was baking and It's my fault to yelled at her. I didn't trust her.
"Irene.. I'm sorry." I said and she's ignoring me again. She's busy measuring. I think she's trying a new recipe, that's why she's still here. She often stays here to try a new recipe.
"Irene.."
"Don't talk to me!" She said coldly.
"I'm sorry.." I tried to hug her but she pushed me away. I sat down near her and just looked at her. Sometimes I tried to distract her but she kept ignoring me.
She put the cupcake into the oven and it's my time to say sorry again. I held her hand and this time she didn't push it away. I pulled her near.
"Babe.. I'm sorry."
"Go away.. I'm going to the strip club after this." She said coldly.
"I'm sorry.. Everygirls was going there."
"I was telling you the truth and you kept yelling at me.. Unbelievable!" She let my grip go and glared at me.
"I'm sorry.. forgive me please."
"Sleep on the couch tonight."
"What?!"
"You heard me.."
"Don't be mean.. please."
"I hate you!" She pushed me away again. She leaned to the walk and played with her phone. I sighed and walked to her.
"Babe.. I'm sorry." I said and leaned my face to her. She kept looking at her phone and I took this opportunity to crash my lips to hers. She pushed me away but I kissed her again. She cupped my face and kissed me harder.
She pulled my tie to close the gap between us. She stopped suddenly and looked at me straight into my eyes.
"I still can't believe you yelled at me earlier."
"I'm sorry."
"I hate you."
"I love you Irene.. I'm sorry." I said and smiled.
"Don't give me that smile.. You're still sleeping on the couch."
"Irene."
"Sorry.."
"But I love you.."
"I love you too Joel.. but still.. You're sleeping on the couch!"
Great.. Great.. Just great..
