ROYCE
Yesterday was a beautiful day that I'd never expected seeing mom and dad on the night of my birthday. But having Nelly by my side was everything I needed to make my day. And the thought of her making time for me was surreal.
"Baby, what do I wear?" Nelly asked as we were heading to my room.
"My princess, that's not a problem. As I've told you, I'm prepared. You have it in my room, in the walk-in closet. Come with me."
We went directly to my walk-in closet. Nelina's mouth fell open, seeing the dresses hang in my wardrobe. There were formal and casual dresses that she liked, which could be used for work. The usual look she has for work is in the selection of clothes in my closet. I knew that she likes to pair jeans with a t-shirt or a long sleeve
ROYCEJollibee is a famous fast-food chain in the Philippines. I never expected to meet someone in this restaurant that I'd love to take care of for the rest of my life.After watching the comedy movie, I thought it was cute to eat in a fast-food restaurant where we first met. Nelly didn't object as she was used to eating in a fast-food restaurant since she worked as a make-up artist."It was a good movie," I said as we lined up to get our lunch."Yes, I love watching comedy. Laughter is the best medicine, as they say, so why not have it once in a while, right?""Baby, I'll make you laugh every moment you're with me. I'll make you scream if you want to. That's not a problem with me," I said,
NELINAI left the condo for just a day, but I missed it already. Although I have had bad experiences in the same building, it feels like home after adjusting in two years.My thoughts turned to the three girls that Royce and I met at the lobby the first time Royce dropped me home. I hadn't seen them at Royce's birthday party, so I assumed their family wasn't that close. I never wanted to see their faces again anyway, so it was a good thing.I smile at the thought of getting away from them since I'll be living in Royce's condo for quite a while. The more I stay in the same building with them, the higher chance of bumping into them any time.I took my gray luggage and started stuffing what I needed, just a few of my clothes as Royce had bought
ROYCEIt was like my spirit jumped out of my body when I saw Nelly in the lobby surrounded by Roxie and the other girls. Thank God it didn't take long for me to finish fixing problems in the company, and I was able to grab Nelly out of those bitches."Baby, what did they do to you? I was so worried seeing you surrounded by those girls," I asked when we were inside my car."Nothing, just insults, threats, everything they're good at."I wrapped my arms around Nelly, stroking her back to make her feel secure and loved. She did the same and rested her head on my chest."Don't believe anything you've heard from them. Those are not the people we should be listening to, baby."
NELINAI woke up early to inform Royce about my agreement with Apple to meet her in a cafe. It was 6 in the morning when I looked at the wall clock. Royce was already in the kitchen making breakfast."Good morning, baby.""Hey, good morning, my love. Come, breakfast is ready."I walk up close to Royce, setting up the food on the table. I gave him a kiss on the lips as I hugged him."Oh, that's too sweet early in the morning. God, I wouldn't want you to leave me if you'd always be like this.""Still no. Let's have breakfast.""Wait, look at you. Baby, you're too cute and sexy in your sleep
NELINA"So, can you share what you have in mind?" I asked Royce as I sat on the sofa. Royce pacing back and forth in the living room, combing his hair with his fingers."We have to dig deeper in this case, not just Dennis and Roxie.""What do you mean? I haven't offended somebody other than Roxie and Dennis. I couldn't think of anyone who possibly has motives to hurt me.""Apple," Royce said as he sat opposite me."What?" I questioned, raising my voice."Royce, she is like a family to me.""Baby, I just see the possibility here. How well do you know her? Why do you consider Apple as
ROYCEI never wanted to get Nelly mad at me again as I am used to seeing her sweet face when she's happy with me. But what happened when I came home was unexpected. Nelly doesn't even want to be touched; she was mad as hell. Even when I sat down on the sofa to obey her, she didn't calm down.I didn't put much weight on the investigation I made for her because I made it with a good intention to get close to her and make a little background check. And I thought I didn't have any obligation to confess it to Nelly since it was quite a long time, and we are in a good relationship now."Baby, I had it with a good intention; I almost forgot about it. I left it on the table when I had to find a file. I wasn't expecting you'd get to my library.""That do
NELINAI woke up with a handsome man beside me, and I couldn't help but stare at him for a while before moving out of my bed. Yes, I was in my bed; Royce slept with me after a great night. He made an effort, though, so why not? Besides, I realized I might have been overreacting. After his explanation, Royce told me a valid reason, yet I showed him a bitchy attitude.Royce never gets tired of understanding; even at times, I was hard to be with. He is the cutest. I thought to myself as I poked the tip of his nose. No reaction from him; he must have been exhausted last night.I jolted when my phone vibrated on the side table. I slowly move out of the sheet, exposing my naked body. I grabbed the phone from the side table, scrunching my eyebrow in confusion. An unknown number was blinking on the screen.
NELINAMin Park went home after lunch for business, so Lucy took the chance to tour me around her vast mansion, an offer I couldn’t resist. Royce’s mom even wanted to have a friendly talk after the house tour, but I declined as Marica entrusted the Salon management to me. I was late when I came back to Hermosa Salon.I immediately checked on the staff on how the business was going and thankfully everything seemed fine when I did my survey. I hopped on my laptop to check the latest project I’m working on. Another one after I got completed, the one I did in Royce’s condo. It felt fulfilling to attain my dreams in reality and I thank Marica for all she did to me. She believed in my talent not just as a makeup artist but also in my creative side of organizing events.I came to my senses wit
