Lust Contracts 18+ Hunting for Love with My Three Contract Husbands Chapter 174 - 174 Lingering Emotions

174 Lingering Emotions

Logic and emotions struggled for dominance over my actions and my body. I had just told him to leave and that he shouldn’t co here again, so why was I about to chase after him.

Why would I do that?

Nothing seed to make sense to for a while. Instead of opening the door, I let go of the door handle before forcing my arm back down to rest at the side of my body. My mind told myself that I was doing the right thing. I had told EROS the right thing that was best for all of us and I was doing the right thing for not stopping him from leaving. Even if my words had hurt him or offended him, it was still the right thing to do and that he would get over it soon enough.

He might not even feel hurt in the first place, and it could have just been my own imagination running wild. I heaved a sigh and turned on my heels to head back to my room before I would have the chance to change my mind again.

…

The day that I had to return to work arrived unavoidably. To my surprise, I felt bored enough at that point that I did not dread going back to work. I woke up feeling quite refreshed just to realize that I had nothing planned for my first day back to work. Justin had advised to take it slow for my first day going back to work and that basically ant that I just had to drop by his office to see him. My best guess was that he would ask about which client I would be most comfortable to start with.

Honestly, it was hard to pick given the complex situation that I seed to have placed myself in based on my last interactions with the three of them. I sat up in bed and reached for my phone to see that I had a text ssage from Adrian. It was as if he knew that today was the day that I resud my work. Perhaps Justin was the one who told him. For so reason, I wasn’t that surprised that he had sent a text.

‘Are you free today?’

The text was simply, very to the point, and it was signed with his na as usual. I was free to see him today, but I still felt awkward about eting him. Our last encounter didn’t end so well and he probably knew that as well. I sighed to myself softly when I realized that this was probably why Justin told to take it easy on my first day back to work. Seeing the text from Adrian truly gave mixed feelings and suddenly my body felt heavy and lazy. I had to drag myself out of my bed to prepare for the day.

.....

It was almost lunch ti by the ti that I arrived at Justin’s office. As expected, he was there to greet with a gorgeously wide smile. There were few people in the office, and I was glad for the peaceful atmosphere.

“Welco back to work. Should we have lunch?” he said before flashing another beaming smile.

“Sounds good. Sothing healthy…” I readily agreed.

“Oh, I was thinking of pizza…” Justin said with clear disappointnt in his tone.

“I don’t want to gain weight. It’s bad for my health…and also the job…” I replied without relinquishing on my idea of having a healthy al.

I knew very well that there would be tough tis ahead where I would need to binge on icecream late into the night when I was all alone and so saving the calories for that would be essential.

“Fine. Fine, we’ll go with whatever you choose,” Justin said as he threw up both hands in apparent defeat.

“Thank you. I appreciate it…” I thanked him before winking at him.

“You look better. The break must have been good for you,” he said while sounding relief.

“You can tell?” I asked while I found myself smiling easily.

“Yes. It was the right choice for you to take ti off. Let know if you need ti off again,” he said encouragingly.

“Thanks. Shall we head out for lunch? Let’s find sothing healthy around here,” I suggested.

“Sure, let’s go!” Justin exclaid excitedly.

Although he wasn’t getting his wish of having pizza for lunch, I was glad enough that he was looking forward to having lunch with . It didn’t slip my mind that I haven’t sent a reply to Adrian yet. Normally, I would reply to his ssage as soon as possible, so by now, he probably knew that sothing wasn’t right. Even though I knew that I must be worrying him needlessly, I still didn’t feel like sending him a reply. Deep down, I was probably still quite mad at him.

We arrived at a restaurant that fitted what I had in mind after a short walk from Justin’s office. Justin looked a lot less excited when he saw the nu, but he did make the effort not to complain.

“This will be better for your health as well,” I told him.

“Yeah…I know that…” he mumbled without any enthusiasm.

I called the waitress over and we quickly placed our orders. The place was quite popular and most of the tables around us were occupied by other custors. When we were alone, Justin turned his full attention to , and I could tell that he had many questions that he wanted and probably needed to ask .

“Just take it easy, you don’t have to et any clients today…” Justin said before showing a look of concern.

“Thanks…” I thanked him again.

“I’m not trying to rush you but do let know when you’re ready to et your clients again. Also, I can adjust your schedule for you as well. So, you can tell whom you want to et with first or whom you’re not ready to et up with yet. I’ll try my best to talk to them or their representative so that it won’t beco a problem,” Justin explained patiently.
