S4-Chapter 113

Penulis: Maria Anita
Rick’s POV

I was exhausted. The afternoon meeting seemed endless, and I won't even get into Tess and Virginia's visit to the office. That was like opening the gates of hell and letting the demons loose - tense, annoying, and completely unnecessary. Fortunately, the workday was finally over. Maybe I'd call PH and Thales. I needed to get out for a bit, and they were good company. PH always had interesting places to suggest.

"Rick!" I realized Alex was calling me and snapped out of my daydreaming. "You spacing out?"

"Sorry, Alex, but I'm not having my best day," I replied to my friend and boss.

"The Tess effect?" Alex asked.

"I'm wondering what that woman came here to do. After all this time." I looked at Patrick, who was silent in the back of the elevator. "What do you think, Patrick?"

"I don't think, I'm certain that whatever they went off to do went terribly wrong, and they're coming back with their tails between their legs." Patrick was right. They didn't come back because they missed

    Rick’s POVSince Tess left, I'd been trying to pick myself up. I'd adored her since college. I still remember the first time I saw her, during a break between classes. I was talking to a professor who had just finished teaching—I'd turned in a paper and he was pleased with my work.Tess burst into the room and, completely ignoring me, started trying to persuade the professor to give her two extra points so she wouldn't fail his course. She used every argument a student typically tries, and she wasn't giving up. I found her so beautiful and persistent that while watching her talk to the professor and completely ignore me, I ended up raising my voice and telling the professor he could take two points from me and give them to her. The professor thought it was a joke, but seeing my interest in the girl, he decided to help me out. He gave her two points, took two from me, and told her she should thank me for not failing the class. Only then did she look at me and see me there. After that, w

    Lexie’s POVWith each passing day I spent with Patrick, I felt happier and more certain that he was becoming mine. But after last night, with all the surprises he'd prepared for me and everything he'd said, I was absolutely sure I would face the world for him. And I was dead certain that no woman would take him away from me."Manu, want to grab some coffee at the bakery? I'm craving something really sweet," I called out to Manu."Mmm, let's go. I'm feeling that craving too," she laughed.We left the office and crossed the street, settling at a table before placing our order. While waiting for our coffee, I told Manu about Patrick's surprise and all the beautiful things he'd said to me."Manu, you're right - Mel really knows her stuff. She's incredible!" I commented, and Manu smiled."She really is. You know, I've been wanting to do something nice for her. Mel has helped me so much!""She really gave you a boost with my brother, didn't she?""Yeah, she did." Manu sighed."Let's think of

    Patrick’s POVAfter the security guards left with Tess and Virginia, I turned to Lexie and she was crying again, which was the last thing I wanted. She stepped away and went over to Rick."Are you okay?" She was worried about him, and so was I, since he was still struggling to get over what Tess had done."I'll be fine, cutie! What about you?" Rick held her shoulders and looked at her."I'll be fine too. But I don't understand how you guys got involved with those two," she said to Rick, and he laughed."Neither do I! They're like fool's gold, you know? They shine like gold, but they don't have the same value," he replied and hugged her. "But Patrick is lucky, he has you, and from the look on his face, he's worried about you. Don't let her get to you."She pulled away from Rick's embrace and turned to me, stared at me for a moment, wiped the tears from her face, and approached."Mr. Guzman, in your office, now!" She spoke seriously, and I shuddered. She was upset, and rightfully so.She

    Lexie’s POVI was watching those two women step out of the elevator as if they'd been invited. Neither of them had any shame, especially that Tess woman. They showed up here like they'd never left."Hi, everyone!" Virginia flashed a smile and greeted everyone."What are you two doing here?" Rick's voice was deep, without any trace of humor or that lightness he always had."We need to talk, Rick!" That Tess really had some nerve."Talk?" Rick snorted. "When I wanted to talk, you didn't want to, Tess, so now you can talk to my lawyer. I have nothing to say to you."Virginia was staring at Patrick with his arm around me, with such a disgusted look that it made me uncomfortable. And when she spoke, she completely ignored me."Patrick, I'd like to speak with you." She approached Patrick, who kept his arm around my waist."I have nothing to say to you, Virginia. The time for talking has passed. What was said was said, and what wasn't no longer matters. So you'd better go back where you came

    Virginia’s POVI never imagined Patrick would forget me so quickly. But then again, when I left, I never imagined I'd regret it so much. At the time, when things happened, it seemed so right, seemed like the best thing to do. Patrick wasn't what I wanted anymore. But the truth is, I made one mistake after another, and it all snowballed out of control. My parents turned their backs on me, and even my brother stopped talking to me. When did everything go so wrong for me?Actually, I knew exactly when everything had gone wrong.It all started right after Tess went to work for Henry. One day, purely by chance, I was leaving the salon after getting my nails done when I saw Tess entering a small, discreet restaurant. I decided to go say hello, and when I walked in, I caught her kissing a man I didn't know.I approached them, and she reacted very naturally, introducing me to the man, who turned out to be a client from her previous job. She asked me to be discreet, not to mention it to anyone,
