heard their crème brulee is excellent,” Lilly chimed in. “Maybe you want to…”
“I said I’m fine.” Dimitri interrupted in a cold voice.
Lilly flushed and took a long sip of water. The three of them declined dessert and sat in uncomfortable silence as Luke scoffed down his chocolate cake, seemingly unconcerned by the glacial atmosphere at the table. Angela glared at Dimitri, growing angrier by the minute. By the time they finally left the restaurant, she was practically seething.
She had tears in her eyes as she said an apologetic goodbye to Lilly and her best friend squeezed her hand.
“It’s okay.” Lilly whispered, glaring at Dimitri’s back. “I’ll call you.”
Chapter 9
Angela followed Dimitri to the car in stony silence and stared firmly out of the window as Josh started the car. She felt Dimitri’s eyes on her but she crossed her legs and didn’t say a word during the whole ride home. The limousine finally pulled up the driveway and she got out before Josh could open the door for them. She stormed into the house and headed straight to the kitchen for some water. By then, Angela was so furious that she was practically shaking with rage. He followed her into the kitchen, closing the door softly behind him.
“Will you just talk to me?” Dimitri finally said.
She threw her purse on the counter. “I have nothing to say to you.”
“Angie.” He ran his fingers through his hair in exasperation.
“Fine,” she stormed towards him. “Would you care to explain why you were so rude to my friends?”
Dimitri frowned. “You’re kidding, right?”
“No, I’m not.”
“I did tell you that I had absolutely no interest in tonight.” Dimitri snapped. “I told you that I didn’t want to go! You had to go on about it. You had to set everything up behind my back. With Luke of all people!”
“Okay, Luke was a mistake,” she relented. “And I’m sorry about that. But it wasn’t supposed to be Luke.”
“I don’t care whom it was supposed to be!” He exploded. “I just don’t get why you have to do something that I specifically told you not to.”
“Oh, I’m so sorry,” Angela said scathingly. “I didn’t mean to subject you to the torture of sitting through dinner with me and my friends.”
“Don’t put words in my mouth, Angela,” he thundered. “I never said that and you know it.”
“You may not have actually said it but you sure as hell implied it! Did you see the way you were acting tonight?”
“So now I’m not good enough to hang out with your friends?” He gave a bitter laugh.
“You were certainly acting like we weren’t good enough for you!” She tossed her purse on the counter. “Do you think we’re beneath you or something? You may be the boss in the office, Dimitri, but out of office hours, you’re no better than us.” He started to say something but she vehemently shook her head. “No, don’t try to talk your way out of this. You treated my friends like shit tonight and you know it.” She ran herself some cold water from the fridge and drowned the glass, trying to calm herself.
“You know what’s really bothering you, Angela?” He glowered at her. “It has nothing to do with my attitude. It’s because I didn’t play the role of the doting boyfriend tonight.”
“No, you didn’t.” She slammed the glass on the counter so hard that it smashed. They glared at each other,
