~Selina~

I yawned as I continually tapped at my laptop keyboard. It's been hours since Dawin dropped me off, but I wanted to finish with this application before I go get some sleep.

A smile broke out of my lips, followed by a long stretch when that familiar word appeared on my screen, “Application successful.”

Now, all I have to wait for is the final result, which I hope will be positive. I stood from the chair and glanced outside; the sky was still clear even though it was late evening. I deliberated on getting some sleep or not, but I finally decided to sleep while I wait for Aria's return.

...

I didn't know how long I slept until my phone rang; my eyes were drowsy, and my hands were shaky as it unconsciously moved around for the phone. Finally, the coldness of the screen met with my hand, and I picked up the call.

“Hi Selina, are you less busy? We have important guests now and we are somehow short of staff. Can you fill in for this night? Paying you a thousand dollars for it,” I ga

  • Accidental Surrogate For My Bestfriend's Brother    Change of Plan

    ~Peony~“Why are you suddenly acting irritated? Don't you think you are overreacting? Not like the girl really deserves it,” Kyle angrily barked at Ethan. I stared at him and our gaze locked for a while.My hand gripped hard on my netty dress and instantly, my nail poked through. I gritted my teeth hard, unable to hide my hatred for Kyle.That idiot has always scattered my plan. I know his return isn't for good but I will make sure to hold him back even if it means using that method one more time.Enmity and anger hung in the air with neither of us saying anything to each other. My side eyes caught up with Selina who was just about to leave, “Won't you serve us again? Isn't that what you are being paid to do?” Since she was the cause of this awkwardness, I will make her pay for it.“I think you are quite dissatisfied with my service which I am very apologetic about, I will get another waitress to attend to you in my place,” she professionally explained.My face twisted in anger.

  • Accidental Surrogate For My Bestfriend's Brother    Peony makes a request

    ~Ethan~My gaze remained on the retracting Selina. I tried to keep my calm, but I couldn't. Veins stretched through my arm to my wrist and I gritted my teeth with a tightened knuckle.I turned around to make my way to my car but I was only a few steps away when I felt something soft grab my hand. I turned to look at the person, and it turned out to be Peony.“Is something the issue?” I raised my brows at her as I asked with a gaze that spelled out how annoyed I was. Peony took in her lips and meekly nodded.She gave me an expectant gaze and said, “Did you remember our deal? The one we made before I let you be?” That particular memory rushed back to my head, and I felt at a loss… though it lasted for only a while. I clearly remember that day; that night I made a promise, that night that changed everything for me.My eyes dimmed a little, and I gave her a silent nod. That nod that has a lot of meaning to it; Peony bringing back that conversation means that she isn't ready to let go of

  • Accidental Surrogate For My Bestfriend's Brother    Ethan came after me

    ~Selina~Dawin didn't think much about Ethan's request; he willingly let go of my hand and took Peony's. Ethan wrapped his hand around my waist and dragged me to a corner… very far from where anyone could hear us. “I guess you are so busy after all, or isn't this why you couldn't grant Avery's request?” At the mention of my daughter's name, my heart squeezed in pain. Why does he have to bring this up at this moment? The thrill to dance immediately left my body. I intentionally stepped on Ethan's foot so he could leave me but he didn't wince, and neither did his wrap weaken around my waist. “That was deliberate, wasn’t it?” Neither did I answer him; I am very sure that he already got what I was hinting at.Ethan gently swayed me around, but instead of landing back on the stage, I felt a push and I landed in an isolated hallway, he didn't stop as he instantly followed after me.He dragged me into the nearby room and started,“Why are you here? And what are you doing with him?” He rudel

  • Accidental Surrogate For My Bestfriend's Brother    Dawin is an artist

    ~Selina~Ethan's gaze locked with mine; he wore a thin smile on his lips, but that smile seemed to be passing information across. My body tensed as the hall suddenly felt colder than usual.My lashes fluttered in guilt, and my gaze went down and got stuck to my feet. Peony unwrapped her arms from Ethan's; she dragged his wrist and pulled him closer to us.“Here, Ethan, meet Dee. We are collaborating on my latest album,” she cheerfully said, tugging at his sleeve. My brain didn't immediately pick up the meaning behind her last statement, but when it did, I stared at Dawin in shock.“Wait… you are…” I stammered, batting my lashes vigorously.Dawin maintained a polite smile with his two hands tucked away in his pocket. He nodded, and a few unusual things I had noticed began to add up. From how he had his personal makeover artist to his extremely handsome idol look.Peony noticed the tensed mood, and she asked, “Didn't your partner know that you are an artist? Most popular, to be precise,

  • Accidental Surrogate For My Bestfriend's Brother    The Event Day

    ~Selina~I swallowed back all my questions and left the door open for them to enter. The squad entered and didn't waste time in getting down to business.They started with my makeup and finished within a short time. Throughout the makeup session, the artists didn't stop complimenting how good my skin was. After they finished the glam-up, they helped me get dressed and wrapped a fully studded pearl chain around my neck. I was stunned and asked the leader, “Where is this from?”She smiled and politely answered, “Dawin ordered the set for you. It's pretty expensive, but it looks very, very nice on you, she complimented.I sighed, not out of sadness but for the overwhelming feeling that enveloped me. They finished with all my glam-up, and time was well spent.“You can check the mirror.” A big, human-length mirror was placed in front of me, and I was jaw-dropped at the soul-lifting beauty in front of me.“Is this me?” I asked in shock, my hand found its way to my face, and right there, my
