do you think that actually she already has feeling for Joshua?
After Joshua drove Clarice to her office and left, Clarice was surprised by Tristan's presence for the umpteenth time. He was not at all tired of seeing Clarice when earlier at the apartment, Clarice could not see him at all because of Joshua.They stared for a long time until Tristan finally spoke. "Are you going to skip work today?" Tristan asked."Don't be crazy, if Joshua finds out, I'll be the one in trouble!" said Clarice in an indifferent tone."Please, Clarice. At least give me time so you can choose between me and Joshua. I also promise, every time we meet, he won't know."His plea would benefit none of them at all because Clarice would choose Joshua anyway. Not because she loved him, but because Joshua was the one who could do many things in her life, whether it was bad or not. Furthermore, she accepted him because she wanted to make amends with Joel."That won't work, Tristan. You'll be useless if you ask me to reconsider. My answer will remain the same. I will still choose
His meeting with his mother did not make him feel completely fine. Even though Terry had left, he was still in a bad mood. It took him a few hours in his office to calm down until he had calmed down enough to start feeling hungry. His high emotions often made him feel hungry, so much so that he even had to look for a restaurant that could serve the menu he wanted. Unfortunately, Joshua didn’t even have a chef that he can rely on, except for Clarice. Even though Clarice wasn't a chef, Joshua recognized how good his girlfriend's cooking was a long time ago, a long time before Clarice became his girlfriend. And even now, it wasn't until this morning that he felt her cooking, in person in front of him, was good again. "That means I should call her and bring her home to cook something for me," he said, mulling over the idea. But Joshua already had an inkling that Clarice would be annoyed at him for interrupting her work just to cook for him. And he knew that what Clarice wanted was to a
"You know about that too apparently," Clarice retorted."It's not hard to find out about you. Just don’t underestimate me. And I also know what made you end up drinking coffee."Clarice chose to remain silent because they both knew what made Clarice drink coffee. And of course, it had something to do with Joel. Joshua smiled wryly at Clarice's expression of not looking at him when they talked about coffee. But again he tried not to think about things that would make him go back to being in a bad mood."Can you choose the delicious menu for me?" asked Joshua. He wondered if Clarice knew him like he knew her or not. Because at least they had been in the same situation even if it was with a family gathering."Ah– that," Clarice looked surprised, then she reached for the menu and nodded her head, "I'll pick something for you then."Joshua leaned back straight. His arms crossed over his chest again, watching Clarice without even blinking. He was always in awe of Clarice from every angle.
Clarice bit her lip. She really didn't know that her question wasn't about Joshua's personality, but about what she was really curious about. But like it or not, damn– what Joshua said was right, that she was curious. She wanted to know about Joshua's experience and she also didn't realize the part about his sexual activity.Damn! He must think that I'm a pervert! Her mind, speaking.Meanwhile, Joshua, who was still holding Clarice on his lap, smiled at the expression on his woman's face. He again won the situation that could make Clarice shut up with a blush that could not make him hold back the turmoil of love."But, do you mind if you tell me about it?" Clarice asked."I don't mind. But not in a place like this."Clarice swallowed. "Then, where?""Where it's just the two of us. Well, I want you to eat first since you already fed me."Joshua easily put Clarice down, leaving Clarice with a gasp of surprise and a heart that was beating hard again. She sat back in her chair, trying to
Joshua stood behind Clarice with his arms around her waist in the bridal boutique. He and Clarice were staring at each other in front of a large mirror for their wedding fittings.He had never felt this mesmerized by a woman before. And he was lucky to see Clarice - the woman he had loved for years, about to marry him and wearing this beautiful and elegant wedding dress."You're so beautiful," Joshua complimented her, in her ear.Joshua's compliment made Clarice feel tempted. She didn't know if Joshua was teasing her or really complimenting her. But the compliment only worked for Clarice just for a moment.Yeah ... she thought back to what had happened to her since Joel died. A feeling of sadness welled up in her chest, making her want to cry, but not in front of Joshua. Her life was about to completely change in a few weeks with a man who looked angry but loved her.Looking at Clarice's expression, Joshua could tell that Clarice wasn't willing to marry him. But that didn't matter to
Her words were very motivating for him as well as changing his mood, which had been quite chaotic; hearing it made him reluctant to give Clarice a chance to meet with Tristan. He certainly didn't want to share the woman he loved with another man."Is that enough to make you feel relieved, Joshua?" asked Clarice.Joshua mumbled. "Hmm? Are you deliberately making up excuses to make me feel relieved?" Joshua couldn't imagine what it would be like if Clarice had just made up an excuse to make him feel good."N–no. I don't like making things up to make someone happy. I just want to make sure. Because if you're happy, I'm happy.""And why should you be happy?"There were so many questions that Joshua wanted to know that he se
Amid his anxiety about the night he finally allowed Clarice to see Tristan, he also had to continue working in his apartment facing his laptop.One of his F&B businesses was about to open new stores in several places because of the petition results of the people in New York who wanted new branches in the places they requested. Although it was only F&B, Joshua must be fair in his actions. In his other businesses such as real estate, hospitality, banking, construction, and many others, he had been working with his brain and heart full of passion, and one of the people who motivated him to achieve success and money was Clarice Morgan."Well, it's not hard to do with a pretty messed up mind. I've felt this way many times, and I'm not going to let chaos ruin one of the businesses I worked so hard to build," Joshua said, encouraging himself.
As morning greeted her with light streaming in through the bedroom window, Clarice woke up. Her eyes blinked and when she opened them fully, she was shocked to see a feather in front of her. She inhaled a familiar scent, but she was still trying to figure out in her heart, whose scent it was as if her life had not fully gathered. This scent ... wait! I slept last night after returning from a coffee shop with Tristan. There's no way I slept with him, right? "Good morning, my beautiful lady," said a husky voice nearby. Clarice was startled awake and lifted her face to see the source of the voice. It was her fiancé, Joshua Rich Archer, who was sleeping with her and holding her. No! In fact, it was Clarice who was sleeping in his arms. She just realized that the chest hair she saw was Joshua's and just as she was about to let go of his embrace, Joshua's hands held her waist. "It's so beautiful to see you awake in clothes I've never seen before, Baby," Joshua said, expressing his thou
