I went to the campus the next day and I told Neil the news about John's offer about working in the mansion where he works at. He didn't say anything and just left me at FHR which is kinda odd of him. So I'm guessing that he's not gonna let me work with others either, which he should've told me on my first day so at least I can decide whether to work with him or not.
Staring at the bacon and eggs, I still couldn’t get over with that kiss. I still can feel his lips on me. Like it was still encrypted in my mind. I can’t even get to lick on my lips either. And what is this that I’m feeling? Like my stomach was aching or something. And my heart was racing. I took a deep breath and brought the food in my mouth. I feel like my hands were still trembling because of what he just did. And I’ve been wondering—what for and why?
"So you heard everything that I said, huh?" I asked as we were sitting on the same table where I'm still eating my breakfast. Neil ordered himself a breakfast set too and was eating with me right now.
Me and Neil decided to talk to Nami too so we can get the facts straight.“Do you really love him? Or you just like to play with someone else’s feelings?” I asked her while we were sitting outside the campus’ buildings.
The old man turned his swivel chair around then studied me carefully. He was wearing his work business suit, is bald and has eyeglasses almost drooping from his nose. He looked like someone who is serious and would scold you even if you just take your eyes off of him. I sat very still with my body straightened out while keeping my mouth closed and my hands twiddling on my lap.
Jessel brought me to the balcony which was outside her large room. We sat on the table and she began pouring some tea on each of the two ceramic cups.
Neil stood there with a surprised look on his face while my eyes widened and my mouth opened as I looked at him. I couldn’t believe it. The man that Jessel was talking about yesterday was just Neil after all!“Do you guys know each other?” Jessel asked with her eyebrows furrowed. I
It has been three days and I'm doing well with the job of being a handmaiden to Jessel. I learned a thing or two from her—she's a hard-ass towards people and she would prefer anything clean and organized. That sometimes gave me a headache because she would even point out the smallest things.
Weekend has passed and it was the day for me and Neil to meet at the mall to watch another movie that we have been waiting for. I dressed up in a blue blouse and denim skirt with combat boots. Tied my hair into a bun then wore a lip tint and powdered my face a little bit. I stared at myself through the mirror and I realized that I just made myself a bit too pretty, just for Neil. I mean, why not?
