“Look, I don't care if she's your girlfriend or not! Because in the first place, I know where's my place is.”
"She's not my girl," Brad repeated.
I turned to him and then smiled wryly. I looked at his eyes down to his soft lips. I raised my fingers to touch it. I didn’t know where did I get my strength to do that. It was just as if my hand just had the brain to do that.
"Why so defensive, huh?" I looked at his eyes again while my fingers were still touching his lower lip. "There is no us, right?"
He swallowed while staring into my eyes. With the scent of his breath, it was as if I was really losing myself and my knees were weakening as well. Is this what they are saying that when you get drunk you dare to do what you can't do when you are sane?
I woke up to the noise of my cellphone place on the side table of my bed. I was lazy to hand it over.Bradley's calling…It was him again. He was still calling last night but I didn't answer. As for his texts, I don’t read either. I just informed him I was home. it's up to him whether he gets angry or not.I would have answered when it suddenly stopped ringing. I have just opened his messages to me since last night.I smiled as I read them. It was obvious that he was angry with my escape. I also read texts from Bea. She was also worried about my exit. All she knew was that Brad and I were going home together. I texted Bea first before getting up.I immediately went to my son's room. It was the weekend and it's our day to spend time together.“Mommy…&rdq
It was Monday morning and time to face my boss. I knew I was guilty. I had to face him even though I didn’t know how to act in front of him now.I cleaned his office even though it was clean. I wiped his desk and arranged the paperwork. I also rearranged his bookshelf.After I fixed his office I went out. It was time to clean my table too. After I cleaned up I went to the coffee maker and made my own coffee. I would have done Brad too but I changed my mind because he might be late today.I sat at my table then I turned on my computer. I scanned his schedules and meetings for that day so that if he asked me later I would have an answer right away. Then I proceeded to my unfinished works last Friday because he sent me home early that day.Actually, the deadline for the others he asked to do was still long, but I had to work on it in advance so that my wor
I sighed when I saw an unpleasant people of yesterday. Of all the people in this world, why this person I will see today?This was unexpected but annoying!I didn’t expect to see him again. why is it that of all the people in the world, why he's appeared as a business meeting partner with my boss?I couldn’t help but watch him as he wasn’t looking in our direction.I guess he changed a lot. The way he dressed, very different from what I had known before. As well as his physique also changed because he gained more muscles unlike before which is quite thin. Maybe he’s going to the gym now. His face is also clear, unlike before, with a small mustache.But wait! Why was I comparing his old and new physique? If much has changed in him? Well, I don’t care. Nor did I come
It's eleven-thirty at night but I still can't sleep and I'm just tossing and turning in bed. I have different thoughts about my situation between Brad and Andrei. Both of them were occupying my thoughts.It seems unbelievable that Brad and I need to pretend in front of others, especially in his family. It wasn't because Trixia was messing with him, he wants me to pretend his girlfriend. Do I care about the problem he is facing? And about Andrei, it's confusing because he was back again and just a few hours ago he was expressing interest, but I just didn't pay attention. I didn’t want him to feel hopeful yet.I didn’t know why it was all happening. Those two people who both had something to do with my past are coming back now.I wish I could have told Brad what he insists happened four years ago. But I didn’t know how and where to star
Chapter 29[Charmane POV]“I don’t remember—”“Don't deny it because you already admitted it last night. Do you want me to repeat everything you said?”I looked down because I feel embarrassed."Charmane?"I sighed. “Okay. What else do you want to know from me?” there is no reason for me to continue to deny everything."It is you?" he seriously asked me again.I looked at him straight. “Yes. Will anything change because I already admit it? look, as what I’ve said last night, I only did that because of two people I trusted completely but I was also deceived.”There was sympathy in his eyes. "Why did you leave me then in that hotel room after what happened?"
Chapter 30Soon I heard a knock on the back door. I stood up and opened it. I thought it was the delivery guy, but I opened up differently. Someone I never expected to see again. She still doesn't give up even though Brad and I have already introduced ourselves as boyfriend and girlfriend. She was obsessed with him.Trixia stared at me from head to toe. He looked at me badly so I gave him a bad look back."What do you need?"“Guess what I need?” She asked with her raised an eyebrow."I don't have time to guess." I didn’t let her in, we just talk outside the door."You are what I need.""Me?" I even taught myself. "What do you need from me?""I'm not going to wander around anymore."“Right! because you are already disturbing the person who is working, ”I said calmly. Because until
TRIXIA messed up everything. Because we are no longer like those days. Brad treated me now as an ordinary employee and not his pretend girlfriend. We were back from the start— from boss to secretary relationship.It's been three days since we argued. Now, he only talks to me when he needs to do something about work. He was too formal. He became so cold towards me. What used to be pure tenderness and laughter when we were no longer busy has never happened again. Every time we are together in his office I just feel tense. If I could just move my table outside by myself, I would have done it just to avoid him.I would also like to talk to Bea to give me a temporary job with their company, so that I can get out of here, to be free of him, and to free my heart from pain. Every time we avoid each other, he makes my heart heavier.I wanted to talk to Brad but I was hesitant. He always frowned often and he even b
It was weekend and time for me to have some fun with my son. It's just that I have some unexpected guests. Bea and Gee."Auntie, Uncle Gee." My energetic son immediately greeted the two at the door."Oh, Ninang's handsome son." Bea immediately lifted and kissed the child. "The baby smells really good," Sam giggled. "So, how are you, handsome?""I'm fine, Tita.""Good to hear that.""Hi, Tito Gee." He smiled."Hello, baby boy. You look more handsome, huh, and you already growing up," Gee said when Sam kissed his cheeks."Thank you, Tito, and you are also handsome."We laugh at what my son mumbled."Why not going to be a man, Gee. The baby boy said you are handsome too," said Bea, teasing Gee."Yeah. I agree. " I just laughed at Bea too.
