Chapter 8

Author: The Handsome Guy
Cole's POV

I didn't know how Millie managed to get her hands on my overseas number. She called me, saying, "It's me, Cole. It's Millie."

"Did you need something?" I asked.

She hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "You… Could you talk to Giselle? She abandoned the law firm to look for you in North Porono. She still has a lot of cases to deal with. A few clients are already suing her for breaching their contracts. The entire law firm will be done for if this continues."

    Cole's POVI didn't know how Millie managed to get her hands on my overseas number. She called me, saying, "It's me, Cole. It's Millie.""Did you need something?" I asked.She hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "You… Could you talk to Giselle? She abandoned the law firm to look for you in North Porono. She still has a lot of cases to deal with. A few clients are already suing her for breaching their contracts. The entire law firm will be done for if this continues."I couldn't hold back my laughter as I pressed my phone to my ear. "What does this have anything to do with me?"Millie was stunned by my question. "Cole, aren't you her…"I sighed. Not bothering to beat around the bush, I said, "I already broke up with her, Millie. You understand what that is, right? It means that it doesn't matter to me whether she's dead or alive. There's nothing for us to talk about if you're calling me because of her."Millie fell silent for a few seconds on the other end of the line. Fin

    Cole's POVI nodded in understanding and didn't force the watchmaker to fix the watch. I placed the broken watch and its components back into the pouch before leaving the shop.Giselle chased after me. "Cole! I'm sorry. I had no idea that the watch was so important to you."I shifted to the side to look at her. "Well, now you know."Giselle looked a little upset as she stared at me. "I didn't ask Harry to break the watch, Cole. I didn't know he would do such a thing…"I couldn't help but laugh upon hearing her words. The entire situation was just too ironic."You didn't know, but you're the one who gave him the watch. When I asked you whether you had found it at the beginning of the year, you told me that you hadn't. "When you used Grandpa's watch to threaten me to go to your apartment, you weren't actually planning to return the watch to me. You only wanted me there because you had a bet with your friends. You were betting that I wouldn't break up with you."My face was devoi

    Cole's POVI made my way to my company housing after I disembarked from the plane. The building was located in a nice area. Every unit had its own personal bathroom. It was nicer than expected. The door could be unlocked with a key or a fingerprint scanner.The first thing the resident manager did was record my fingerprints in the system when I arrived at the building. She then handed a key to me. Her mouth split into a wide grin, and her Flendish was heavily accented when she said, "Welcome, Mr. Bannister."I shook her hand and nodded in thanks. A flurry of complicated feelings raged in my chest as I stared at the key in my hand, but I also felt happy.I didn't have to call anyone and ask them to come downstairs to let me in. I didn't need to stand at the door and wait for anyone to finish their work. I didn't need to trail after her like I was but a mere guest and watch as she pulled out a key and unlocked the door.I had my own key. I could use the fingerprint scanner. I coul

    Third-Person POVGiselle called Cole nonstop after ensuring that Harry was being tended to. Just then, her phone vibrated. A wave of joy washed over her when she assumed that it was Cole returning her calls. She immediately accepted the call."Cole, you've finally—"Her face twisted even before she could finish her sentence. Veins protruded from her hand as her grip tightened on the phone."What did you say, Millie? Say that again!"Millie's voice echoed clearly from the receiver. "I was rushing to catch my flight when I saw Cole at the airport, Giselle. He had a suitcase with him. It looked like he was going to travel abroad!""I'll rush to the airport right now!""You're too late. His plane has already taken off!"The rest of Giselle's words died on her tongue. She felt as if someone had wrapped their fingers around her neck, strangling her to the point that she couldn't say a single word. She had already made up her mind after arriving at the hospital, planning to look for

    Cole's POVMy phone buzzed nonstop. I glanced at the screen and saw that Giselle and Harry had sent me countless messages. "Your birthday's over. You got the cake and sunflowers. It's time to let bygones be bygones.""You saw how easygoing Harry is. It's easy to get along with him as long as you're not petty."At the end of the day, they just wanted to pin the blame on me. I was petty as long as I showed any emotion or got angry.Harry suddenly sent a video to me when I didn't reply to their messages. In the video, he fiddled around with Grandpa's watch as if it was a toy. He grinned and said, "This watch of yours is pretty nice, Cole. It's the perfect size to play around with in bed."A wave of nausea hit me as I stared at the screen. I then furiously dialed Giselle's number."Don't let him touch Grandpa's watch!" I snapped.Giselle chuckled lightly on the other end of the line. "Finally stopped playing dead? Come over to my apartment. I'll head downstairs to let you in."…

    Cole's POV"Harry felt really bad about what happened last night," Giselle said. "He specifically came today to apologize to you. It's about time you stop making a fuss. Don't keep dragging this out."The door clicked shut behind us.My ankle collided with the table leg when Giselle shoved me into the seat. I hissed in pain when my bone made a loud cracking noise.Giselle paused and turned to look at me. She was about to make her way over to me when Harry, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly spoke up. "My stomach's been sensitive to the cold lately, Giselle. Cole won't mind if I switch places with him, right?"Giselle didn't say a word as she walked over to Harry. She helped him to his feet and led him to where I was, saying, "Move."I gripped my bag strap as I stared at her and said, "I can't move. My leg hurts."Giselle's expression soured. "It's really gross that you're being so petty, Cole."She told Harry to take a seat before grabbing me by the collar and dragging me
