Chapter 3

Anastasia looked at her phone it had been quiet for hours, maybe he had got bored of her after she had told him that it might be best if he didn't find out where she worked.

Her work phone rang and after mentally preparing herself for another enthralling conversation about which size screwdriver someone would need to build their bookcase she took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Claytons, how can I help?" she smiled.

"Finally I get to hear you" the voice on the other line said.

"Hello, who is speaking please?" Anastasia asked, she thought maybe it was him but that would be absurd how would he know where she worked.

"Well I thought it would be difficult to tell you what to do with your life if we never actually got to speak" he replied coolly.

Anastasia nearly dropped the phone she was so shocked.

"Ok well that's just plain creepy how did you find out where I worked? Are you a stalker? Should I be concerned?" she asked trying to hide the panic in her voice.

"Maybe it is a little creepy but you wouldn't tell me where you worked and I really don't like not knowing things. No I'm not a stalker, you just have me interested that is all. I would like to meet you, but if you ask me not to then I won't" he said simply.

"I think it is way too soon for us to meet" she replied quickly.

"Ana I understand that and if you want to wait I will wait. Can we still talk though?" he asked and for a second Anastasia thought he seemed less confident.

Anastasia hesitated, this was weird it was beyond weird she didn't know what to say and there he was calling her Ana like he knew her which he didn't.

"I understand that you are not sure, I promise I am not a serial killer or a stalker. I am going away for 4 days to Japan on business when I get back I will contact you and if you wish for me not to speak to you again then I promise you will never hear from me again" he said his voice deadly serious.

Anastasia looked up as the door swung open and José walked in to the shop. Ok so now not only was she on the phone to some crazy stalker who she didn't know why she was still interested in talking to but now her ex boyfriend had just walked in. This situation couldn't get much stranger.

José looked at her and running his fingers through his thick brown hair he said "Look Ana we need to talk"

Anastasia felt her stomach in complete knots, she turned away from José and said into the phone "That will be fine Mr Grey we can discuss the matter after your trip" she tried to sound cool and relaxed and professional she knew it wasn't working.

"Ok then well laters" the thick surprisingly sexy accent said on the phone and then the line went dead.

Anastasia spun around "What are you doing here?" she demanded at José .
