Chapter 36" Huh? " Layla asked unsure of what she heard and he snapped out of his thoughts." Sorry, I meant yes, that's all " He muttered and she nodding before walking away.Shane bit his lips slowly, watching her leave." I'm here " Alec announced suddenly sitting on the seat available in front of Shane. Shane only nodded. Alec raised his brows and moved closer to Shane's face, studying his expression." What? " Shane raised his brows, moving his face away. " Why are you blushing? " He asked and suprised Shane raised his brows in confusion. " What? " Shane asked almost in a whisper." Don't tell me you two.. kissed " Alec added, gesturing to Layla who was just coming. Shane cleared his throat and arranged his butt on his seat properly, ignoring Alec's question and turning to Layla who was just coming." Here " Layla said, dropping their orders. Shane had also order a cup of coffee for Alec too. " Thanks " Shane was the first to say as he grabbed the cup's handle." Thanks " Alec a
Chapter 37" Ok " Shane muttered. Mirah whose brows was still raised was tempted to ask. " Are you?... "" No, I was just curious " Shane replied, cutting off. Mirah nodded with a smile. " Would you like anything then ? " She asked, still retaining that smile but Shane shook his head. " No, we will be leaving soon " Shane replied and Mirah nodded, understanding clearly the reason for that." Alright then. I shall take my leave " She said with a small bow and the duo nodded. With that, she made her way away from them and off to the counter. " So, they rejected you too? " Mitch suddenly asked with a hint of mockery in her voice as she walked over to Mirah.Mirah let out a scoff as she sat on a stool before the counter. " I think you should be focusing more on retaining this job till the end, cause with the look of things, you might get sacked in between " Mirah shot back, sarcastically.Mitch let out a scoff and then followed by a mocking laugh. " You should have said the same thing to
Chapter 38" Great then " Alec said with a smile. " So what do I do now? " Shane asked anxiously. " Just go over to her house and tell her how you feel " Alec replied simply. Shane let out a sigh not sure of what to do. " Like how should I do that? " He asked slowly in embarrassment, itching his neck. Alec let out a chuckle. " Come on, you've had previous girlfriends in the past, how did you ask them out? " Alec asked instead.Shane sighed again. " It's been long, I don't know how to go about it anymore " He muttered and Alec let out a smile. " Alright, you just walk up to her and tell her how you feel about her, and that's all. You could start by asking her, her sudden reason for leaving the coffee shop " Alec suggested and Shane nodded thoughtfully." Alright, I can try this " He muttered and Alec nodded. " But now, we should go get some sleep " Alec said, hanging his arm around Shane's neck. " Yeah. I have a big task to do tomorrow " He muttered the last part to himself.With this
Chapter 39" I love you Layla " He said again while Layla stared on at him in shock. She was never expecting this, not even in her lifetime. She had never believed all those words Mirah spoke about Shane having some sorts of feelings for her.She had thought it was just a way of making her feel better for also liking Shane. But right now,, he's confessing his feelings to her. He said he loves her?Did she really hear him right or is it an hallucination? Shane loves her?" Shane loves me? " She thought, still staring at his face in shock. She felt herself rooted to the spot as she couldn't move, not even a finger. " Layla " Shane called almost in a whisper. Her sudden silence was making him so nervous as he wondered what was going on in her head at that moment." Huh? " Layla asked unconsciously, only moving her brows but really she wasn't in a conscious state at all." Do you feel the same way? " He asked slowly and she shook her head abruptly. " No, I don't " She said, still shookin
Chapter 40" Layla... " Mirah called but was cut short by Layla. " I can't agree to this, so don't try to make me " She said and with that, walked away into their room. Mirah sighed as she sat back on the couch, leaning her back on the couch.She was tired, she knew her friend wouldn't admit her feelings and she's really trying her best to make her see the truth, but it seems she's really firm on her decision. She'd better give up. If they're meant to be, they will. But now, she's unconcerned about the matter. She's backing out.** Shane's Apartment **" So you got rejected? " Alec asked, stating the obvious immediately he sighted Shane coming in with a moody look. " Well... Yeah I got rejected " Shane replied with a shrug as he landed his butt on the couch." What did she really say? "" Not much. She said she has no sort of feelings for me and she thinks it ain't right for a thing to happen between us 'cause I have a wife. But I ain't giving up anyways " Shane replied with a huff an
Chapter 41" Mom? " Shane called questioningly." Alright whatever " Mrs Kent muttered. " I should go now, I have other things to tend to " She added and Shane's brows creased questioningly tho he's well aware that his mom couldn't see him." Mom? It's late at night? " He questioned and Mrs Kent let out a scoff to his ears." Yeah I'm aware and with that, I meant.. attend to your dad " She teased and ended the call immediately. Shane let out an unbelievably gasp immediately he could understand what his mom said." Gosh mom " He muttered and shook his head at how naughty his mom is.He sighed when he remembered his mom's words. He can't help but ponder about it. He knows too well it's Layla now but he still can't help but want to care about Brielle's feelings. How would she feel or react to this?He's a bit worried and that alone is confusing him. Why would he still be worried about her when he's really ready to let go of her?He let out a sigh as he walked his way up the stairs, in th
Chapter 42Layla shook her head unbelievably at what Shane said. " You know that's impossible right? " She asked rhetorically. " Just say Yes. I'll find a way " Shane said instead. " I'm sorry, but I can't " Layla muttered and Shane smiled lightly." So, why are you here? " Layla asked, trying to clear off the intense atmosphere." Well... " Shane paused briefly, tucking his hands into his pockets. " I gave you the flowers already " He pointed at the banquet sitting on the table where Layla had placed it." And I'm also here to inform you about this job idea I have for you " He said and Layla raised her brows. " Job?? " Layla asked and he nodded." Yeah.. My secretary at work needs an assistant. And I think you might want to fill in that post. I would pay you hugely " He said and Layla's brows raised the more." But, why me? I mean you could get other people for the job? " She asked. " I just want you, I want you to have the job since you seem to be in need of a job " He explained."
Chapter 43" I'm hired? I thought you're gon' need like some papers or... "" Nah, I know you well. You're brilliant and you have the qualities I need. You don't have to worry, you can resume work tomorrow " He said, cutting her off." Oh, okay then " Layla muttered.There was a brief silence before Layla broke it. " I should end the call now. I have to prepare for tomorrow " Layla said awkwardly and Shane nodded tho she couldn't see him." Ok then, thanks. Bye " He said and Layla muttered a * bye * before hanging up. Layla heaved a heavy sigh knowing fully well what could be the implication of her accepting the job.Mere talking to him seems like they shouldn't stop not to talk of seeing him daily, she's gon' feel drawn to him every minute. " I hope I can handle this " She muttered to herself. " So... " Mirah jumped to her on the bed. " You said yes to his offer? " She asked tho she knew what the answer was gonna be. " Yeah. He said I could start tomorrow " She muttered and and Mir
