~Selina~Peony gave me a disgusted look and replied, “Can't I check out the coordination of my friend's project ? Remember, this is Kyle's project, I am a special guest at this event unlike…. You,” she snickered while circling around me.My face twisted a bit, I bit down on my top to stop myself from saying what was on my mind. After releasing a long puff of air, I felt better and I pushed her away from the entrance before I walked in, closing the door behind me.I entered the dressing room and the kid's stylist was adjusting the last button on a very handsome boy's suit. The book has a milky skin, long pointed nose, perfectly shaped lips and most importantly, he has a striking feature with Ethan and most especially, his siren eyes.“Are you here for something?” The stylist asked and I quickly shook out of my thoughts. Back to the reason why I am here, I got a last minute call from Ethan, requesting whether I could help Kyle at the perfume launching event. At first, I was confused bu
~Peony~The first step to my plan was to call Kyle, and that was what I did. He picked up after a few rings, and his voice sounded tired.“To what do I owe you the pleasure of calling me?” He grumpily asked, and my lips tugged upward in a sinister smirk.“Is that a way to greet your friend? Am I not permitted to call you again?”I heard him scoff over the phone, “Friend? When did we become friends? I don't have a dubious friend like you. You are very evil and I hope Ethan sees that soon,” I rolled my eyes at what he said, all these little banters isn't the reason behind my call so I quickly switched up my image.I sniffed and became silent. I was silent for a long time till I was convinced that Kyle had started to get worried.“Actually…” I began and still went silent to grow more suspense.I heard Kyle's heavy breathing over the phone, and I felt a deep sense of satisfaction within me. This is the exact reason I have pictured him in my head before calling him.“Everything that happen
~Peony~Bang! I fumed as I threw the glass of wine in my hand onto the hard wall; it shattered, and the shards flew across every corner of the room.I have been pacing back and forth for the past few minutes. I am trying to think of something, but my head just couldn't wrap around what happened at Ethan's house.Clearly, Thane told me Ethan got lots of flowers and gifts for a woman he claimed he liked. I was excited, and I had rushed down to his house only to meet with embarrassment and disappointment. Ethan not only chased me out, but he also fucking snatched the flower off my hand and threw it in the bin.I need to find that woman! I need to get my hands on that bitch that dares to think of having what is mine. I gritted my teeth and tightened my knuckles till they became red.I strolled back to the mini bar opposite my living room, brought out a fresh wine glass, and prepared to pour out another drink. Ethan's disgusted face when he saw me flashed in my head, and unconsciously, I t
~Selina~I glanced at the entrance where Dawin was resting on the door frame with a smile plastered on his lips, “You and I will be working alongside each other from now on.”I raised my eyebrow as I mouthed a low, “ohh! I get it.”The atmosphere quickly graduated to awkwardness. I have Ethan here who seems unbothered by whatever Dawin and I were debating on and on the other side, I also have Dawin whose gaze wouldn't stop switching between Ethan and I.Without saying anything, I knew what could be going on in his mind. He doesn't know I have a personal relationship with Ethan and here and I, clinging on to a full red rose while sitting across the richest CEO in the town.I tried to pinch Ethan to leave so that I could at least take the chance to explain things to Dawin but Ethan feigned cluelessness, which sort of angered me. Such a scum bag!“I think we have a patient to attend to now. Thank you for dropping by, I appreciate your kind gesture,” I said to Ethan as I struggled to smi
~Ethan~I wore a smile as I elegantly stepped out of my car. I adjusted the rim on my face while taking time to scan the hospital premises.Wow! This environment is so quiet, I inwardly commended while my spare hand fondled with the car door and seconds later, I opened the back seat and took out the bunch of roses, my guards took the rest of the gifts after me and we all stepped into the hospital.All eyes fixed on us… curiosity daunting in each gaze but I have faced so much crowds in the past that all these little attention means nothing to me. I stopped at the reception to inquire about Selina's office.“Who is Selina?” That was the first answer I got from ten receptionists, a deep frown was engraved in her forehead and her eyes showed raw confusion.I briefly described what she looked like and it seemed like that worked. She directed me to the location and I left with a simple appreciation.We got to the office door and knocked, no one answered so I entered.“Who the hell…” Selina
~Ethan~I sat down in the boardroom, my gaze fixed on the projector, but my mind was far off. Who is that kid with Selina? What is the relationship between Selina and Dawin?All these thoughts filled up my head that I couldn't even concentrate on the meeting. I was desperately hoping that the meeting would end soon, and when it did, I heaved a sigh of relief.“What is the next thing on my schedule?” I asked Thane in a low voice as we led our guest to the car. It's been agreed that they would be spending a month with us while they work on our company design; therefore, we have booked them a hotel to maximize their comfort while they are still around.We got to the ground floor, and to my relief, their ride was present . Everyone dispatched into their various rides, and drove off. Thane and I shared the same car, and more than halfway through the ride, I was quiet. Usually, I don't like to talk while in transit, but I love to listen to low music while I work on my laptop. Today was dif
