Chapter 8

I can't forget what happened yesterday. I hope Canon will eventually change himself so I will no longer need to deal with his rudeness. I quickly changed and ready myself to work. I went downstairs and I didn't see Canon. A driver also approached me that he will send me to the office since Canon go to work early.

It's unusual for him to go to work early since he usually goes to the gym first to work out before he ready himself for work. He has a healthy lifestyle and he always disgusts me whenever I ate in-can food. He always eats a salad which is food for animals. Sorry to offend you guys but Canon looks like an animal. I laughed at my thoughts and the driver look at me as if I'm a mental hospital patient.

I immediately look for Canon in his office but I didn't see him. Where the hell he is? Janice approach me as always, she clung herself to my shoulder.

“Let's go to the mall later! I want to buy new lipsticks!” She said cheerfully, I just agreed since it's been a long time since I last go to the mall. We came back to work and I tried to call my parents.

“Hello, Mallory? How's work?” Mommy asked. I smiled when I heard her sweet voice.

“Doing good. How's Dad?” I asked.

“He's doing fine. He missed you. When will you visit us?” She asked.

“Maybe when I have some free time, Mom. Take care. I have to go back to my work.” We hang up after that call. I missed them so much, I wish I could stay at home like always but all things already changed. If we divorce, I can go back to my normal life.

At lunch break, I didn't see Canon. Is he busy or out of the country? Maybe he have a meeting in another place. He's a CEO we can't tell when will he be available. Janice and Elvis approach me and we ate lunch together.

“I didn't see Mr. Stutter today,” Janice stated.

“He's in another company having some business stuff meeting,” Elvis answered looking so bored.

“Why are you so different today?” Janice asked.

“Nothing.” He answered. I have the feeling that he's sad because I didn't bother to hang out with him. But I can't let him assume things that we can be together. I don't do dates when I'm still married. He's a nice guy, he will find someone better.

As soon as our work is done, Janice invites me to go to the mall and we also invite Elvis and he accepts that. We watched movies, it's better this way. We have Janice, we aren't alone watching together. We roam around the mall, we go to the cosmetic section and Janice bought some cosmetic products, she even tried to put some light makeup on my face.

“You look pretty,” Elvis said. I blushed at his sudden compliment. I'm not used to compliments since I knew that I'm not that attractive, unlike other girls. I'm just a simple petite girl. I don't think I'm special.

We shop some clothing, I also bought some for Mom and Dad. Elvis voluntarily brought our shopping bags, he didn't buy anything, he's just like a bodyguard for us. I laughed at my thoughts. He looks dashing while holding the shopping bags.

We ate dinner and we talked about a lot of things. I discover that they're working at Stutter Company for almost three years now. They are really afraid when Canon is mad, but Elvis said that he doesn't. He's also a man so he's not afraid of Canon.

Janice talked about how kind Canon is, I want to cover my ears since he's not kind but the moment I heard that he gave that bonus, a vacation, and allows them to travel to different countries without spending money. He paid all the expenses, even the plane ticket, food, and a hotel to stay during the trip. He increased their salary whenever they did something he likes. But he fired those people who talked behind his back and doesn't competent enough.

I came home around 9 pm and I thought Canon wasn't home yet but I saw him sleeping on the couch in the living room. I saw how angelic his face is, I want to touch his porcelain face. He looks so handsome even though he's sleeping. How come this handsome creature has an angelic face? Maybe he talks to the devil to give him such a handsome face. I laughed at my thoughts.

Canon's eyes slowly open and I met his gaze. My eyes widen when I woke him up and he heard my life. I immediately stand up and run into my room. That's so embarrassing! He caught me watching him sleep for Pete's sake!

What the hell is wrong with me? I find him handsome. I'm drooling over him!

I punch my pillows and shouted. I hate how stupid myself is. Did I just stare at him while sleeping? What he's thinking right now? That I have a crush on him? I'm not a teenageteenagechooler anymore! I slap my face.

The door opened and I saw the shocked face of Canon when he saw how I slapped my face. My eyes widen and I immediately covered my face with a blanket. God, help me. I'm so stupid, I'm an idiot! I heard him chuckle a little.

“Crazy..” I heard him say before he left my room. Now.. he thinks that I'm crazy! How come the man I despise the most became the man I have a crush on? I'm blushing.. my face is hot.

“Let's eat dinner.” He said and I didn't bother to go downstairs, I'm so shameless if I still did up show up myself to him after I embarrassed myself in front of him. I'm the bravest woman if that's happening. Sadly, I'm not!
