Billionaire Matchmaker Book Two: Undone (Billionaire BBW Erotic Romance)
You have some nerve talking to me
like that after what you did! I should call the cops on you.”
    “Hah! Go ahead and try it, I don’t care anymore. You’ve
already ruined my life.”
    “What the hell are you talking about Jude? You’re not making
any sense. I’m going to hang up and don’t ever call me again.”
    “Fucking bitch I’ll get you back for what you did! You’ll
get what’s coming to you.” Click.
    The line went dead. I pulled the receiver away from my ear
and frowned down at it, not sure what just happened.
    “What was that about?”Allison asked as I settled the phone
back on the cradle.
    “I’m not sure,” I said. “That was weird. I’ve never heard
Jude like that before.”
    “Well I always said that guy was off his rocker. I never did
trust him.”
    “Mmm, he sounded like he was drunk. Anyway I told him not to
call me again.”
    I shook my head trying to clear out the unpleasant phone
conversation I just had. I was confused by Jude’s anger and accusation that I
had ruined his life. Nothing made any sense.
    He was the one who ransacked my apartment. I thought I had
let him off lightly by not calling the cops on him, and yet here he was
threatening me. I released an involuntary shudder at the menace that I heard in
Jude’s voice.
    “Hopefully once he’s sober, he’ll forget the whole
conversation and leave me alone,” I said.
    My thoughts were still on Jude when I heard a loud banging
on the door of our entrance.
    “What in the world?” I said. “This morning sure is action
packed. Can you see who it is, Allison?”
    “I was just headed that way,” she said getting up from her
chair.
    I craned my head to see who it was, but all I could hear was
a low pitched mumble and then I heard Allison say “No, you can’t”. I was
halfway out of my seat when my office door burst open and Jake walked in. I
looked at him in total shock, my eyes wide and mouth hanging open.
    He looked more disheveled than I could ever remember him
being. His hair was messy as if he’d been running his hands through it and
tugging at the ends, he had a scruffy five o’clock shadow and his clothes,
normally so pristine and worn with such precision, looked grungy and careless.
His eyes lit up as he saw me and he smiled so brightly, I had to catch my
breath. Even though I had vowed never to speak to him again, that didn’t mean I
still didn’t find him devastatingly handsome.
    “Chloe.” He whispered my name as if it were a revelation.
    “I told you to get out,” Allison said as she finally caught
up with him. She was out of breath and her face was flushed with anger. “You
shouldn’t have barged in here! I’m calling security.”
    “It’s not so pleasant when the shoe is on the other foot, is
it?” Jake asked. He quirked an eyebrow at Allison. She looked sheepish before
narrowing her eyes at him. I was confused by her reaction, but decided now was
not the time to question her about it.
    “It’s all right, Allison,” I said turning to her. “I’ll
speak to him. Can you give us a few minutes?”
    She looked like that was the last thing she wanted to do as
she eyed me with doubt and concern. She pursed her lips, debating whether or
not she should refuse, but finally gave in with a shrug. “I’ll be back in 10
minutes,” she warned. Allison shut the office door behind her as she left.
    “Thank you,” Jake said, his voice full of gratitude and
something else. He had moved closer in the office and looked like he was going
to embrace me when I held up a hand to stop him.
    “Don’t thank me. I don’t want you in here anymore than
Allison does. What do you want? Why are you here?” I said coldly.
    Jake’s eyes lost a little of the brightness at my harsh
tone. His shoulders sagged as he ran his hand through his hair mussing it up
even more.
    “I deserve that,” he said. “I know I hurt you and I’m
sorry.”
    “Is that what you came to say? Because if it is, you can go
now. I’m not
