Lucas' POVIs it only me? Or my girlfriend looks so devastated since she got out from LM. I was waiting outside my own company— as usual — and when Naomi got out, her face seemed so distressed and there was cute little wrinkled skin in between her two eyebrows and she's frowning deep with a hint of a scowl. She hopped on my bike without saying anything, not even a hi when she saw me which she usually does whenever she sees me outside. So instead of asking her what's wrong, I just put my helmet on after I put hers on and I brought her to a place that I knew she needed. I ordered two cups of ice cream, one milk flavored ice cream and one chocolate flavor. I shoved her the cup after I sat across from her.I watched her eat the milk ice cream, and her eyes pierced the cup like it was her enemy. She gripped the plastic spoon so tight that I knew any minute by now, it'll snap."So.." "I want to quit." She stated, my heart thudded and I held my breath. "To my job.""Wait, why? What happene
Naomi's POVThe day of the event has finally come. Everyone is so busy, pacing back and forth, here and there, papers on their hands, rushing footsteps, sometimes running, clothes are everywhere and so are the materials to make all the designs I created. "Ms. Kim, a little help here?" Marian asked, one of the designers like me but since she wasn't the one on the list, she was instructed to help the production staff to prepare all the models and the clothes they were going to wear in the runway. "Yes, what is it?" I asked as I approached her."So this one, I don't know where it does belong, was it on the upper or lower waist?" She asked, holding a fabric belt."This will go here." I told her and wrapped it around the guy model. "I think it's better if we don't tie it, just let it down." "Much better, thank you." Marian said, offering me a smile."Ms. Kim? We'll start within five minutes." Chantelle said, her head peeking from the curtain and behind it, all the CEO's of other compani
Lucas' POV"What the hell are you thinking?!" Denver shouted as soon as the car door slammed shut."What the hell are you thinking?" I asked the same question. "Why did you tell her that the CEO will meet her? I'm the CEO and you're going to bring me in—.""In your private doctor, you fucking idiot! A sane person would never jump out of the balcony from the second floor!""If I don't do that, she'll see me inside of that VIP room!" I yelled back frustratedly, wincing in pain after I broke my ankle when I landed wrong on the ground just because of a fucking small rock. "And have you seen a balcony in a bungalow?!""That doesn't matter, I can create one with that but you, jumping like that is so unnecessary!" Denver smacked my head and I heard my driver stifle a chuckle but he covered it by clearing his throat when I hit his shoulder."Sorry boss." He apologized and stepped hard on the gas to add more speed."Why are you so afraid that she might see you? Ain't you planning to reveal you
Naomi's POV"You looked like a mess." I commented when I got inside my office and saw Chantelle leaning down, face kissing the table."I feel like I'm a dogshit that’s been stepped-in twice." Chantelle groaned as she lazily dragged her ass up from the chair and walked groggily to the door."Go back in here." I said, pointing at the chair she was sitting on earlier. "I'll make you a coffee." I said and pulled her back and I walked outside my office to the pantry. When I got there, I bowed to the guy inside, having his breakfast then I immediately proceeded to the corner to make two cups of coffee, one strong black coffee for Chantelle as it is what she needed the most to remove her hangover and one milk coffee for me. While I'm preparing the coffees, I heard the door open behind me. I didn't bother to look because I was busy putting hot water in the mug. I don't want to hurt myself that's why."Yeah, like I can't believe that she would do that." A woman's voice said and she seemed to
Lucas' POV After the meeting with all of my high ranking men, I immediately left the building of my company, but as I was limping my way with the crutches, qnother member arrived and my eyes squinted in irritation when I saw Jacob. Of course, he was surprised to see me too but he still bent his body to greet me. "You're late.""I'm sorry Boss, I had to take care of something." He said without straightening up his body and staying bent."Was it more important than the meeting?" I asked."I'm sorry Boss." He said, not even answering my question. "Just ask your father what I said in the meeting." I dismissed and was about to walk again but my phone vibrated so I fished it out from the pocket of my coat and answered the call without even thinking. "Hello babe?""Lucas." Naomi's voice sounded devastated and my heart thudded loudly inside my chest and I froze. Why on earth didn't I even think of answering her call right outside of the building where she was working and the hundred perce
Naomi's POV"What happened to you?" Chantelle asked as soon as I got inside my office, panting and catching my own breath after I used the stairs rather than riding the elevator with the CEO. Can you imagine that? Because of my ego, I walked 26 floors just to get to my office and now my lungs almost lose oxygen. Well, it's not totally ego speaking, but it is my betrayed heart that wants to take that stairs and challenge myself."Nothing, but can I have a glass of water?" I asked as I sat on my chair. Chantelle walked to the corner and pour me a glass of water."Here." She said as she handed me the glass that I immediately drank and let out a sharp breath after. "So you run your way here?""Can we not talk about it?" I scrunch my nose up and twitch my lips."Fine, but you have to prepare yourself because I was told to go to the hall room since the CEO wants to introduce himself—.""I'm not going.""And the memo said that you need to be there." Chantelle continued. "Why?""I don't know
Lucas' POVLet's talk about bad timing because this old lady has all the worst timing in this world. I mean, of all time she would show herself, why now? She chose this exact time where I needed to woo my mad girlfriend. And how did she even get here? She's not allowed to get inside this company, to my house, to any businesses that my Dad left to me. "How did you get in?" I asked, holding Naomi's legs carefully around my waist so she wouldn't fall and thankfully that she stopped choking me.The old lady's scrutinizing look shifted to the woman behind me, literally behind my back, clinging on me."Is this what you're doing in the company? Playing around?" "That's never been in your business, now answer my question. How did you get in?" I asked again. I felt Naomi move behind and shrugged her legs, as if telling me to let go and so I did, putting her gently on the floor. When she got down, she was about to back away but I grabbed her hand and pulled her gently on my side. The lady's
Naomi's POVOkay, I admit. I am too weak when it comes to Lucas. I tried everything I could do to continue my days without seeing him even if we are literally in the same building, without talking to him that I could almost smash my phone several attempts just so I won't dial his number.I miss him so much and this pain that he caused me was too much to take in, but it's more painful not seeing him or being in his firm but soft arms wraps around my body. I badly want to see his face and stare at his perfect features. I miss hearing his voice that always calms me down and lulls me into thinking that he could put me to sleep while listening to his voice.It's been one hell of a week, I could barely sleep as I always ended up crying and staring at his pictures that I've taken on the internet since he came out to the public. Lots of his pictures everywhere, in magazines, in tabloids, name it. His pictures are scattered everywhere and I'm glad they have them so I could see him everyday eve
