MY EX-BOSS, MY LOVER

From the elevator, Jeremy steps on the 49th floor, which is solely for him as he's the one occupying the biggest and most expensive unit in Tiffany Blue. It's the most famous students' condominium in the area just across from the prestigious and prominent Fermone National University where he, Chris, Ken and Gail attend. At first, Jeremy used to live alone but because Chris and Ken would always hang out and sleep over in his place, he told them to just move out from their own units and live with him. That was what the two guys had really wanted to happen because ever since Jeremy lost his mom, they couldn’t stop worrying about him.He sighs as he enters the unit. The spacious living room welcomes him with a picturesque overlooking view, but such a majestic and stunning sight fails to calm him. He's been troubled since yesterday.From the hallway, he drags his heavy feet and reaches the guest room. Another sigh from him, deeper this time. He knocks on the door, and it opens right away.

“We’re sorry, bro.”Jeremy looks at Ken with confusion, still panting and sweating from the night jog. “What are you sorry for?”“We already told Serin the reason you can’t let her go yet,” Ken answers straight to the point. “Because of that, she tried drawing your face to know if the sketch you found in her dress pocket is really hers. And it’s really hers, we just confirmed it.”A terrible feeling rushes in, Jeremy begins to feel nauseous and sweat more coldly. He wants to leave now but he can’t move at all.“Look.” Chris shows him the new sketch. Overly shocked, Jeremy can’t compose himself anymore. It’s freaking insane that the new sketch he is looking at is exactly the same as the one he’s keeping when Serin hasn’t even seen it yet. He falls into deep silence. “But bro, you should stop overthinking now.” Ken pats Jeremy on his arm, smiling at him with relief. “The sketch is not you but Heron.”Jeremy freezes completely, and all the colors on his face quickly fade. He never tells

Serin can tell right away that the girl is not okay, for she’s shaking and sobbing fearfully. She tries to calm her the best way she can, holding her cold, trembling hands. “I’m here, miss.. You’re okay now. Don’t be scared anymore. What is it? Please tell me..”Yenny cries silently but more fearfully. “P..Please.. h..help--”“It’s getting colder, let’s get inside now.” A man’s voice interrupts. Serin turns to where the eerie voice comes from and sees a tall man through the gaps of wide fences of the European-styled mansion behind him. He is standing in the front yard that is so dim and gloomy, for the only glow illuminating there is from the golden lights circling the big fountain in the garden. “We’ll catch a cold if we stay here longer,” the creepy man tells Yenny. Serin catches on. The girl before her is definitely in danger. “I will help you,” she tells her, looking deep into her frightened eyes. “First, we have to get out of here. Let’s--”But Yenny suddenly steps back. It ju

Two months ago. It was the day of Gail’s party.Lunch time, seven hours before that night, Dave finally decided to get rid of something. A medium-sized box on his huge bookshelf. “Go to a very far place where no one can see you, and please burn this.” Dave handed the box to Yenny. “I’ve been keeping that for 3 years now, and I think it’s best to finally get rid of that box through someone I trust the most. And it’s you.”Yenny nodded in response, but with a puzzled expression because she was sure it was Jeremy Dave trusted the most and not her. Also, it was the first time in four years that he had allowed someone to touch his personal things because after his mom passed away, he became extremely agitated about it. “Make sure you won’t tell anyone about it.” Dave gave her an anxious look. She couldn’t help but feel uneasy. Why would he want her to burn the box in a very far place? And why shouldn’t she tell anyone about it? However, she couldn’t ask him these questions. Dave’s condit

Yenny did see hope, running into Serin, but the important evidence to lock Dave in prison was not with her, for she had completely forgotten her bag in the storage room. As she failed to escape, she hurried back to the mansion and left Serin outside. Two hours later. “How are you?” It was Chris asking Serin as soon as he and Ken came inside her room. Serin faked a soft smile. “I’m okay now.” But the two guys could see a troubled expression glimpsing on her face, for she was unable to help the girl in Horizon Town. “You don’t look okay though,” Ken said. That’s when Serin plucked her courage to tell them the truth. Chris hurriedly took out his phone, showed her a group photo on it and pointed at Yenny who was all smiles standing beside Jeremy. “Is this the girl you’re talking about?” Chris asked Serin nervously. A week before Gail’s party, Chris showed Serin the same photo while he was excitedly talking about Yenny. Their close friend Serin was supposed to meet at Gail’s party.
