Jared stared at May as she walked away to the dining area like nothing happened. All those words rang in his ear, he couldn't fathom why she is doing that. He followed her to the dining to talk to her. “What exactly are you talking about? I don't know what I did to you or why you are being like this but you need to stop! You didn't say you were going to leave so soon.“ He protested, watching her sit down at a chair close to his. “I don't recall telling you I would be living here with you. I just wanted to get away from everyone and I only happened to get with you because I had no other choice. Stop making it look like it's an obligation for me.“ She replied, showing the anger that she had been trying hard to conceal. She already decided she would leave. She shouldn't care if his flings stay in that room but somehow, she did not want to be compared to those kind of people. She felt her anger is justified. “I don't understand. What did I do wrong?“ Jared asked not sounding desperate
The car stopped at the famous spot for couples which is a bit close to their university. May did not understand why she even chose this place when they are not a couple. She got there before she remembered what she has done. It's a surprise that Kevin did not complain when she chose that spot. That place only came to her mind because they have a garden that they could talk quietly with no disturbance. This will bring more focus for them discussing the project. “How did I even end up getting paired with him? I never get paired with the nerd so what happened?“ She thought inwardly. “We're here miss.“ Ronan said, stopping the car. She looked out the window, “Thanks.“One of the men who came in the car following them quickly came out to open the door for her. She rolled her eyes before getting outside. Why would Jared make it a big deal just because she's going out. At this rate, she will lose her freedom. “I can't believe this nonsense is happening to me right now.“ She muttered for
“What?“ May's eyes widened in shock. At first she didn't know what to think. Did something happen? Is that why he asked his driver to bring her back? Or is her life in danger that he's worried about her? She keeps wondering what he saw that made him call the driver like that. “Why? Did he tell you why he asked you to bring me home?“ She asked Ronan curiously. He shook his head, his eyes on the road. “He did not tell me why. He sounded mad and he wanted me to bring you home immediately.“ Sounded mad? What exactly is wrong with him? These thoughts could not get out of her head. Why is he mad? Could it be that someone pissed him off at work or he discovered something that's making him like that?Whatever it is, it's making May anxious. She did not want to see his angry side thinking about it. Her memory went back to this morning. The way her heart beat and how she became so weak as he got close to her. She felt like she's going to screw up again this time. She was still lost in thou
May went into her room still shaking in fear. She felt very embarrassed that she just gave out all of her secrets to him. This is the biggest secret that no one knows except for her best friend Kayla. Now she just told him out of fear and she's too embarrassed to come outside. She trembly sat down on the bed and took out a pack of cigarettes from her bag. She looked for her lighter around but could not find it. She realised that she could have dropped it before coming so this house. She has not been smoking since she came here and probably since they started interacting more.She kept thinking about what she felt the moment he came close to her full stop as much as she was trembling at that time, she also could not stop herself from wanting him. Why did her heart have to beat so loudly for someone that doesn't even like her? Isn't he just doing this so his parents will leave him alone? He's just using her after all so why won't she get him out of her head? “I can't do this. I despera
“Talk to me please…” His words ringed in her ears. She stared daggers at maids. Then she walked to the center between Jared and them. “I did snap at them because they were asking me stupid questions when I asked for a lighter. But…” She looked at the one who insulted her, “She told me the bitter truth. She did not just stop there. She told me how I was not special and how I'll be sent packing soon. A useless and jobless whore.“Jared's eyes widened. He looked at the maids, his eyes getting darker. Those words pierced his heart like he's the one who was told those words. “Is this true? Did you really say those things to her?“ He asked them. The maid quickly denied, “No sir. We did no such thing! We only told her to leave us alone and she kept threatening to get us fired.“ Jared looked at May. She shrugged, “It's up to you to believe who you want. I don't care. I'll be leaving anyways, like they said.“ “We didn't! She's just trying to frame us…” “We can solve this problem with our
There's silence in the room as Jared stared at May in confusion. This kiss was mutual even though he started it, why would she suddenly slap him? May gasped, then moved back. She just acted on impulse and did not think about the consequences of her actions at all. “I… I want to be alone. Please get out. I won't be able to pack my things with you here. Jared wanted to say something but somehow he stopped himself from doing it. If she doesn't want him, there's no need to try so hard for it. He feels like now he is forcing her to do something that she doesn't want to do. “Fine. I don't know why you hate me and won't hear me out. I won't force you to stay anymore. You are free to go.“ He said, then made his way outside. May watched him leave, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. What exactly is going on with her? Why does she feel sad that she is leaving him if this is exactly what she wants? She finally found her lighter when she rummaged through her other bag that she brough
The restaurant fell silent the moment madam Diana walked in. They really know better than to do anything that will get them on her bad side. She is dressed elegantly in a long designer dress. She is wearing a hat and holding the latest version of another designer purse. Everything about her screams luxury and elegance. She met with one of the waiters who welcomed her and took her to the private room she booked before. She entered inside and saw the one she's supposed to meet already waiting for her. “You're welcome mother.“ Debra said with a smile on her face, going to welcome Madam Diana. Madam Diana smiled back, “I am sorry my dear. I was stuck in the stupid traffic that I came late. I had a prior engagement before this. I hope I didn't make you wait too long.“ Debra shook her head, “Of course not mother! Why would I dare complain about what time you arrive at a place? Besides you're the older one so we should respectfully wait.“ Madam Diana is impressed by Debra's way of puttin
Jared felt restless as he did not see May who has gone into the room with his sister for the past one hour. He wondered what they could be talking about so much. Even though he should ignore it and focus on his pending work, he can't help but feel curious. What would May want to know about him? Didn't she want to stay away from him? “I should check on those two. I can't believe they're still talking since. Since when did Stacey like people?“ He asked Matt who is busy working on the laptop. “We should be at the office by this time. But that can't be possible because you asked us to come home on time. So I am trying to fill in the pending works we have.“ Matt replied, looking frustrated. Jared scoffed, “Hey! I'm your boss you jerk. You should learn how to talk to me properly. What the hell?“ “I am sorry sir.“ Matt apologized and continued working on the laptop. Jared rolled his eyes, standing up. He made his way upstairs, to the bedroom where May and his sister are right now. He did
