I JUST stared at him and pulled on his leather jacket again. But he firmly restrained me.
“I’ll take you home.”
This time his voice became serious that slowly pinning me at my chair. He turned off the engine before getting out of the car without saying a word.
I wanted to stop him, but he quickly got in front of me to open the door. I met his gaze, and I couldn’t help but traveled along with his sharp features with my eyes. His dark eyes, which sat below his dark brows, were tiny and evenly spaced.
As he stared at me, I noticed that he had a bridged nose that constantly hooked over in his soft lips, which were painted a natural red, and his jaw was set firm and clinched.
“Aren’t you planning to go out of my car?!” he shouted at me while his face was wet because of rain.
I got up from my seat, and he immediately snatched his leather jacket from me. My face warmed as he crept closer and wrapped his arm
“CHERRY,” he said again.I quickly flicked the light switch on, and a few moments later, I noticed him lying and curled up on a blanket, so I quickly adjust the air-conditioner.I looked at him. He’s hugging and clinging tightly to the comforter. I wasted no time and approached him quickly.“Rex, what happened?” I asked, lightly caressing his forehead. “You have a fever!”“This is all your fault,” he uttered shakily.I raised an eyebrow slightly at what he said. I wanted to answer him with a rebuke, but I resisted. It’s true, anyway. If I hadn’t agreed for him to take me home last night, this definitely wouldn’t have happened.“Have you taken your medicine?” I asked him instead.He shook his head as an answered, so I bit my lip very hard.“Just wait here. I’ll buy you a medicine.” I was about to stand up when I felt his warm pa
IT’S UNDERSTANDABLE that the name he’s mentioning is his sister-in-law. He is suffering from hallucinations. Besides, I was not ignorant of how he feels for Lara.But why is the world allowing this guy to be in pain? I understand heartbreak, so why do I feel compelled to blame the sky when I look at this one? He was constantly at the top of his game, and he has nearly everything—a prosperous life, a happy career, and a stable business.Now I understand that there was no such thing as a perfect life. Everyone has challenges in life; whether it is a matter of money or a family problem, there’s always someone who will put your own resilience to the test. It aches to realized that we're going through the same thing right now. But since I had no choice, I tried to cope up, but when I looked at him, I couldn't. I want to feel bad about myself. Now I understand why it was termed heartache. It's a deep, unexplainable sensation in your chest. Th
“Who are you talking to?” He spoke with a smirk on his lips.All this time, I had no one to talk to because there was no one in the room? And looked at this jerk, standing in front of me wearing his innocent look.“It was you, jerk!” I bravely said to him. The weeping of his mouth did not escape me.“Wooh!” his bandmates exclaimed to what I said except for Jeff and Rexon.I raised an eyebrow at him and waited for him to say something, but Skye intervened with us.“Easy, guys!” he said.“We’re actually planning a movie marathon tonight, wanna join us?” Jeff asked me. He stepped closer to me and barely touch my shoulder.“N-no, I need to go home.” I looked straight into Rexon’s eyes that suddenly lost the smirk on his lips.“We brought pizza and snacks. We also delivered dinner, why don’t you eat first?” Jeff’s hands reache
MY GAZE flew to Rexon, who walked straight and bowed to the railings before lighting a cigarette.I could barely breathe as I watched him hit and puff the smoke into the air.“Are you done talking to your dad?” He looked at me with the same intensity that he wore earlier.I nodded and glanced down on my feet on the floor. I can’t stand his stares, which was not normal to me.He turned his gaze to the other side, so I mustered up the courage to say something.“How was your feeling? Didn’t you have a fever?” I timidly asked.“I have colds and cough, but I’m okay now.”The air became quiet and heavy, and thick clouds had already covered the stars.“Thanks for taking care of me.” He broke our silence. He faced me and leaned against the railings. His arm folded tightly across his broad chest.Again, I tried to avoid his gaze before nodding. “You’re
I TOOK big steps toward his dressing room. I didn’t bother to knock on the door. I went in immediately and sat on the sofa.“What’s that for, huh?” I asked. He looked up at me without any reaction.“Haven’t you been taught good manners? Why don’t you knock first before entering?”I sighed because of what he said. “Why don’t you just answer my damn question? And it looks like you should go back to school to be taught good manners.” I crossed my arms on my chest and looked straight into his eyes.I thought I was brave because of what I said, but when he stood up, I immediately backed away.“Who are you to talked to me that way? I’m your boss!” His eyes were narrowed and intense.I glanced away. Hell, yes. He is my boss—my freaking boss! Why did he have to repeat that to me?“Are you going to order something? Because I still have work to do.&r
I hurried to his condo unit, and I immediately knocked on the door when I got there. Jeff opened the door for me, and he greeted me with his usual smile.My eyes searched for Rexon, and my question was answered when he came out of his room fully dressed. He was carrying a hand carry bag and looked straight into my eyes.His unpleasant expression killed me. I gasped as he stepped closer to me, and without saying a word, he dropped the hand-carry bag at my feet.“Carry that to my car.” His voice was cold as ice.I just looked at him as he exited the condo. Jeff offered some help, but I strongly rejected him. Even though the weight of the bag was not a joke, I still tried to handle it. Like me, some of their assistants also carry their belongings.Skye’s personal assistant gave me a small smile before glancing down at what I was carrying. “Can you carry it?” she asked. There were only four of us in the elevator because Re
I TOOK the opportunity to speak again. “Do you have something else to say?” I arched an eyebrow at him.He didn’t bother to answer. He just put his two arms on her broad chest instead, leaning out the window.I blinked. He was handsome and hot. But so what?“Arrange my things, put them in the closet one by one and iron the wrinkled clothes. This is your job, right? That’s why you are here. When you’re done, prepare what I’m going to wear. I’ll just take a bath.” After that, he went straight into the bathroom.I remained standing while biting my lips hard. He has a point. I was here to work and not for any other reason. So I can’t blame him for why he talks to me like that.I started pulling out his things from his bag and arranged them one by one. I inhaled the scent of each item. The smell was everywhere.The shirts were completely white. The fabrics—which were obviously impo
I COULD feel his tight grip on my neck. Even before I could protest, his lips were already touching mine.My eyes widened in surprise. My nerve was paralyzed by the kiss, and my spine shivered. Because of the odd sensation he gave me, I clenched my fists and tightly shut my eyes. His lips began to move, urging my mouth to open. His tongue unintentionally slipped into my mouth, controlling and overwhelming it.It felt as if he dragged me away to the cloud, and I had no idea how to return. Because of his strength, he quickly switched our positions while still holding my back and neck tightly.The kiss continued. I gasped heavily and felt his touch on my shoulders. I no longer knew how to go up. I was deeply hypnotized that even moving was hard for me.But even before I could respond to his kiss, he violently broke away from me. We both chased our breath as he stared at me.“You . . .” he said breathlessly.I pressed my lips and wai
