“Don’t tell us… you were also there to seduce Professor Fortez?!” they unpleasantly assumed. Their eyes are gleaming with extreme naughtiness. The smirks on their lips are annoying, which are starting to irritate me.
“N-No! Of course not! Even though Professor Fortez is really a good looking man, I will not stoop that low just to make him notice me!” I disgustedly said.
‘I have never seduced Prof. Fortez. It is the other way around, because he is the one, seducing me.’ I want to tell them that, but I change my mind. It is not yet the right time.
“Tell us why you are there, then. You’re making us imagine things already.” Fauna said impatiently as always. This girl doesn’t really know how to wait.
“Yes, Fauna is right! Actually, I’m already thinking that you are secretly fantasizing him, that you want to get him to bed and do the nasty.” Floara remarked. She is laughing teasingly at my frowning face.
Yes, she is right that I am se
“Why are you doing the groceries? Don’t you have a nanny to do that for you?” Professor Fortez suddenly asked. He is fastening the buttons of his shirt now. “I live alone.” I answered him shortly. He paused in fastening the last button and turned his gaze to me. He is narrowing his eyes in my tiny figure. “Why are you living alone? Where are your parents by the way?” he curiously asked. I plan to ignore his question, because I don’t want to talk about it. He is staring at me intently as if he is saying that I need to answer his question because he’s ready to wait patiently. In other words, he is demanding for an answer no matter what. But I keep my mouth shut. “You really have this habit of ignoring my questions, Tiara.” he shook his head and sighed in disappointment. He finished buttoning his shirt. He is about to wear his necktie on and I can tell that he’s struggling to knot it. I walk to him and grab the long piece of cloth in his h
We arrived at MF Condo Towers. Professor Fortez is carrying all my groceries. I volunteered to carry one of the six big plastic bags, but he didn’t let me. He said that he can carry all those on his own. I just shrugged my shoulders and just let him do as he pleased. He removed his coat and rolled his sleeves up to his elbows. His muscled forearms are showing. I diverted my gaze immediately to avoid being tempted. We rode the elevator up to the tenth floor, where my unit is located. While waiting to arrive at my floor, I stared at our reflection. I cringed at how he looked while carrying all my groceries. “Are you sure that you don’t need my help? Those are heavy.” I pointed out at the plastic bags he is carrying in both hands. His protruding arm muscles and veins are clearly visible in my eyes. I force to drag my eyes up to his handsome face. “It’s nothing. These are actually light compare to the gym equipment I carry every weekend.” he calmly
Heat automatically warm my cheeks, making me blush at what he said. I was just finding comfort in his lap and I didn’t mean to move the second time. I bury my face in his neck, so he won’t see how embarrass I am. “Your peace offering is really delicious, hon. But I’m afraid, we need to stop here. As much as I enjoy the pleasure, we don’t have to do it yet.” he uttered while breathing heavily. I close my eyes tightly as I let his hand gently brushing my hair. I can still feel his hardened buddy down there. I am trying my best to ignore it and divert my mind to other things. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do that.” I told him awkwardly. I am still hiding my embarrassed face. “Hey, it’s alright.
The words that Mark said in the library never left my mind. I have been thinking about it even after my class started. I am not on my own self all day long. I failed to focus in my classes, even if I force myself to listen to every discussion. I wished to forget the feeling of being sorry for rejecting his love. It is just that I can’t help to think about it. My intention was not to hurt him too much, but when I saw him earlier, he was still very hurt by what I did. I went home lethargic and my shoulder drooped as I lazily entered the elevator. Not long before I heard someone cleared his throat. I raised my face to see who it was and I was shocked at who was in front of me now. Wearing a light grey single- breasted suit, paired with pink dress shirt, polka dot necktie and a black leather shoes. The man before me looks stunning! “Sir Hart, is that you?” I asked in an unbelievable voice. My eyes widened in shock and joy to see this man again. Since I left
“Stop saying nonsense! I do not believe you!” I exclaimed. It is hard to believe what he said that I am special to him. I am starting to doubt his motive for inviting me here, because I thought his reason was just to have a cup of coffee with him. I didn’t expect an interrogation to take place. Also, I am suspicious of why he is here in MF Condo Towers. I think that I am really the reason why he came here, not because he has an early meeting to attend the next day. It seems to me that he used his invitation as a decoy to execute his real plan, which is to question me now. He grabbed that chance earlier when I accidentally entered the wrong lift. It saved him the time and effort to approach me without me getting suspicious about his motive. For the nth time, I regretted entering the wrong lift earlier. I am really stupid for dragging myself into this situation. “Just as I thought, you will react this way.” he smirked, knowing that I already realized
After I told the story to Sir Hart, I fell silent. My body is shaking so much, and my heart is aching in guilt. That was not the last time my parents ordered me to kill their business rivals. Mr. Mondragon’s daughter was not the only one I killed from then until now, because they were many. “So, your real target was Mr. Mondragon. But instead of killing him, you killed his daughter. Mr. Mondragon was really furious that night. He was my client. He hired me because he was receiving death threats from unknown sender. Are you also the one who did that?” he asked me in the midst of my silence. I just nodded my head as a reply because I was not in the mood to talk. I feel weak after telling him that long
The penthouse was very beautiful and inviting. If it wasn’t because of the things I have learned right now, I would surely accept his offer to sleep here. “I think I need to go back to my flat but thank you for the offer, Sir Hart.” I politely declined. I stand on my feet. I looked down at my half- emptied cup of coffee. I feel sorry for not finishing the cup. “I thought so.” he said. “I will not invite you to eat with me tonight. I know that after what you find out, you will lose your appetite for dinner.” he joked. His playful smirk is back on his face. I hissed and rolled my eyes at him. I turned my back at him to go inside the living room. I get my bag, which I left on the sofa. “Good night. Sleep and don’t overthink about unnecessary things, baby girl.” I heard Sir Hart said. He was right next to me when he said that. I frowned. I thought I l
My temple is throbbing in pain because of what is happening in front of me. I feel like I am in an event, where I am not one of the characters. In this setting, I am just a witness. In the back of my mind, there is a voice that wants to argue with my previous statement. Am I really just a witness or am I just forcing myself to believe that? I am not that dumb. This lady with my face, I know that I am her. Moreover, this teacher that she addressed as Sir Fortez, his presence beside me is familiar. Even though his face is blurry in my sight, I can tell who he is. However, I do not remember this incident in my life. Is this part of my forgotten memories? Are my memories starting to come back? Professor Fortez said that we knew each other in the past. Is this how we were acquainted? He was also my teacher back then, huh. The young lady slowly went in front to do what she was told. She gently bring the chalk on the board to write the answer. I was staring at the scene whe
