All eyes were watching Michelle, waiting for her to admit defeat and be humiliated.Michelle lowered her head and said with gritted teeth. "...I am...sorry."She doesn't sound sorry at all. She sounds like a beast uttering a growl.My co-department was not satisfied. "Is that even an apology? You don't look apologetic or sincere at all! It seemed like you are cursing her!"I thought too as well.Michelle glared at me, "I said I am sorry. I am taking back my words. I am wrong and you are right, happy?"It sounded like she was going to shred me into pieces if I said no.Unfortunately for her, that wasn't what I wanted to hear. "You forgot something to include in your apology."Michelle knew what it was. "I am taking back my words that you are an old lady."Oh? She said it in one breath."But don't think this is going to end! Today, you made me lose face. I will make sure to pay you back the same humiliation you caused me. I will be watching you!" She then left in big strides.The crowd
Hmm...Since we are all eating, should we also invite Kane? I looked at them but no one seemed to remember to invite Kane. I kinda pity Kane now."We should call Kane. He is the only one missing." I reminded them.Gabrielle nodded. "Of course. He should be there.""...." So please messaged him.Gabrielle did not take my hint. I reminded her again, "You can invite Kane.""Yeah. You should call him." Gabrielle passed the matter to me."..."Everyone except Eduardo looked at me as if it was an obvious matter for me to contact Kane first.I have no choice but to take out my phone.Right, he was my partner so it was natural that I am the one who would contact him. Agh.As I was about to message him, I received an incoming call.Speaking of the devil.It was Kane."Hello?""Where are you?" Kane's magnetic and deep voice sounded. His voice sounded good and it even amplified on the phone. As if he was whispering in my ears.I shook my head to wake up from that strange state."I am in the priv
But Layla couldn't see it and denied it."Of course not. Boss and I are not like that. That's the line we will not cross and never be crossed."I glanced at Eduardo whose eyes darkened. I don't think you and Eduardo agree on that.Layla might not know but Eduardo has set his eyes on her.My fingers holding the cup tightened. If Kane did not act soon, Layla would be completely fallen into Eduardo's trap. I should think of a plan soon.Gabrielle did not buy Layla's denial. "Really? But seeing you two, I think you guys are about to cross that line. We are not fools. We could see-"Eduardo interrupted Gabrielle's new round of teasing. "Layla said it's not. So it's not." Eduardo's eyes were a bit domeenering. He changed the direction of the conversation to the interrogator, "How about the two of you? Are you guys dating?"Gabrielle was about to answer when Levi frowned, "Eduardo, don't put us into an embarrassing situation. You know I have a girlfriend."Gabrielle's face turned ugly, "Ja
In the end, the opportunity I opened up was wasted.After we left the restaurant, I dragged Kane behind."You..!" I glared at him, hating iron for not being steel.Kane looked at me confused, "What did I do?""I told you not to waste this chance! We rarely eat together and you lost the chance to show your gentleness to her!"Kane frowned. "What is serving food and gentleness do with each other? Besides, even if I wanted to give her food, she won't take it. Her plate was full and she can't finish it all."Who doesn't want someone to serve them food while the other party was thinking about their health? Girls like it when their partners cared about them. These simple gestures matters!"That kind of thinking will make you lose. Don't give up showing off easily. You can use some other ways. In that case, you can help her finish her food or something like that."Kane's frown turned deeper, "Does eating leftovers would show my gentleness? I don't really understand girls.""..." Nevermind.T
Saturday morning, Layla and Kane left the house.After they left, I waited for a few minutes before taking out my car keys. I followed them.Of course, I don't have anything going on today. Nor did I contact Gabrielle or Levi to make up a lie.If I were to involve them, those two would not allow me to be left alone. They might join me in following these guys. With other people in tow, our spying would be obvious and we might end up ruining this hard-earned date.Initially, I don't plan to follow them but this was Kane and Layla's first date. I am kinda anxious, especially with Kane's zero romantic experience. If something happens in the middle, I bet this man would just end up escorting Layla directly to home right after the task.Or what if Eduardo learned where Layla was and wanted to interrupt them? Who would stop the unnecessary people who wanted to meddle with them? This was a rare opportunity that we can't waste.Anyway, I am really worried.I would just take a peek. If the atmo
A/n: This chapter is edited. *** I dropped by a milk tea store and bought some refreshing drinks. I am really feeling stuffy in my chest. Was staying in the car make me feel suffocated? Perhaps I am having acid reflux. I decided to take a short walk. I found a park that was not too crowded. I sat by the bench and looked at the other people who were having a picnic while biting my straw. There were actually couples still having picnics in parks nowadays? As I continued to watch blankly on people, I noticed a man in a black jacket and black cap looking my way. He was also wearing a black mask, everything he wore was black so he stood out. At first, I thought it was a coincidence that our eyes met. But when I saw in my peripheral vision that he was glancing in my way many times, I started to be tense. This man...why he was looking at me? He dressed suspiciously. And his actions of sneaking glances my way were starting to make me anxious. I suddenly remembered the dead rabbit t
A/n: This chapter is fixed. Thank you for waiting. **** "I have never been this embarrassed before. My tall figure, handsome face, and charisma are very evident. How could you mistake me for a stalker? People stalk me, not the other way around. You give yourself too much credit." "If not because my girlfriend threw a tantrum and dropped me off in the wrong place, I wouldn't have followed you to ask you to give me a ride." I glanced at Paul from my peripheral vision. I was currently driving and giving this talkative guy a ride. I thought again why should I be the good person here? After Paul proved his identity and that it was all a misunderstanding, the police officers left Paul to me. Since I bothered the police officers, I have to take this responsibility. Paul told me the reason why he followed me. He had an argument with his girlfriend earlier today. They have a cold war. When he just took a quick visit to the restroom, his girlfriend drove away with his car and his belongi
A/n: This is for chapter 47. *** "Just go to that parking lot." Paul instructed. I looked at the high-end bar not far from us. "You still have some mood for a drink? Shouldn't you go home?" This man has no money and phone on him. And he still wants to play outside? "It's fine. This club is owned by a friend of mine. And I also have some shares." Paul smiled. He jumped out of the car and gave me a wink. "Thank you for the ride. Let's meet again when I have my phone. So I could get your number." He then blew me a kiss which I disgustedly avoided. Paul just laughed and left. Kane's cousin...was very different from him. But both of them were weird. I was about to drive away when I saw Paul running back to my car. What now? "Open it quickly!" I saw him mouthing in panic. I quickly opened the door for him. He went in and hurriedly closed the door. He then stick his face close to the window and was watching something to the side. "Why did you come back?" What does this man want t
