Fated to my Enemy by Diane Doherty

Chapter 34

Chapter Thirty-Four
Ryley
It’s been a hell of a week after our little getaway to the cabin. I was feeling conflicted about Blake and everything that had happened between us over the weekend. Thankfully, I’ve been drowning in work this past week to keep my mind off of Blake. I knew nothing could come of us and there was no point in trying to figure out how to make it work.
Now it’s Friday afternoon and my friend Isabelle has been text begging me to go out with her tonight. She started this uphill battle on Tuesday and she hasn’t let up. My phone chimed on my desk and I groaned. I wasn’t one to go out. I never had time or people I wanted to hang out with. I do like Isabelle. We became instantly friends but I don’t know about going out to drink.
Before I could look at my phone there was a knock on the door. I called for the person to enter ignoring my phone. I watched as an excited Isabelle walked into my office. She let out a squeal as she looked around.
“This office is beautiful!” She exclaimed, sk**ping to the front of my
desk.
“Isabelle I was just about to text you,” I said and she sat down in a chair in front of the desk.
“No you weren’t,” she rolled her eyes.
“Okay, maybe, but it’s not because I don’t want to see you. I’m just not sure about the location you chose,” I shrugged.

“Then how about we just go out for dinner and we can see where the night takes us,” she smiled.
“Fine,” I breathed out. She let out a squeal before rushing around the desk to hug me.
“I’ll pick you up at your place for eight!” She exclaimed before leaving my office. Eight, I thought, confused. Shouldn’t people be getting ready for bed not dinner? And what do I wear?
“F*ck,” I mumbled before slamming my laptop shut. I already hate that I said yes to this.
I decided since it was already four in the afternoon that I would pack up and head home. I had to get myself m**tally prepared for this, especially after the week I just had.
Blake has had to deal with Mr. Clarke when I found he was stealing consistently over the last year. It’s not as much as I originally found, but stealing is stealing. And I know how much Blake pays everyone. It’ s really good money. And he is fair with time off and insurance. All of these companies would be great to work for. I’m not sure what he’s going to do with him, but I’m sure it’s nothing good. He is a powerful alpha after all.
When I got home Channing and Aspen were watching tv in the living room. Aspen has been here all week after our weekend together. Even if Channing wasn’t here, Aspen was now living with us and he took the other bedroom. I didn’t mind, I love the kid. And he was great
company.
“Mom, you’re home early?” Channing asked as I walked into the living
room.
“I guess I’m going out with Isabelle tonight for dinner,” I shrugged, flopping down on the loveseat.

“Everyone seems to be going out,” Aspen said and I furrowed my
brows.
“Everyone?” I questioned:
