Once won't hurt CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
Mira I was torn between two feelings. One part of me was stuck in the past. I had spent almost my entire life in this city, building a future I’d come to love, and parting from it made me sad. The other part of me felt an ecstatic peace—knowing that everything I had worked for had finally paid off. Tomorrow would be my final day here. Everything I owned was already packed. I wasn’t leaving anything behind except memories—good ones and bad ones alike. Most of all, I would miss Laura. She had insisted on one last wild night together, promising it would be fun. Even Laura’s promise of chaos and laughter couldn’t soften the ache of leaving her behind. She came over the night before with a bottle of rum. We drank until our hearts were full and our emotions spilled over. Laura cried. She couldn’t bear the thought of me leaving. I cried too. Yesterday, Ken had also called. He wanted to see me—one last time. He made it sound casual and fun, but I couldn’t wait. The last time we were

KenNobles Restaurant. Her eyes widened, surprised I had brought her here."We are here," Smart announced.She tried to conceal her amazement, but I could tell her mind was racing. She probably wondered how an intern had access to such luxury.Mira shot me a questioning glance as she held my hand at the door. I wasn’t going to explain—and I hoped she wouldn’t ask."You really are full of surprises, Mr. Ken.""I told you."The restaurant was exactly as I had seen it yesterday—quiet and sparse. I led her to the table I had reserved at the farthest end. The waiter approached immediately. Mira’s eyes sparkled as they took in the space."I don’t know what to have." She scrolled the menu and flashed a nervous smile at the waiter.After watching her scan the meal options, I stepped in to help."This is super delicious," Mira murmured, her hand over her mouth. "Honestly, I haven’t tasted an appetizer this good." Her eyes roamed the three-course meal, arranged attractively on the table."You r

Mira Hurray! My last day at Gigs. I arrived earlier than expected, surprising myself with how eager I was to leave. My office was already cleared out, everything neatly packed into a a box—everything except the gift packages, which still left me conflicted. What was I to do with them? Still, I brought a paper bag for it. I took one last look at the small room that was my favorite space for trying out new ideas then shut the door firmly behind me. Last night, I received my email from Voughan. The steps were gradually being completed. At exactly eight, I headed to Bernard’s office. Time was ticking and I wanted to be discreet to avoid prying eyes. Bernard was as stoic as ever, but I never minded. We went through my files and my transfer documents in silence. At some point, I noticed how dim his eyes looked. Perhaps that was his way of coping with my departure. All For the best. As I stepped out, I ran into Ken. Wow. He was early. “Don’t tell me you’re leaving,” he said, poutin

Ken She was breathtaking from the corner of my eye. She sat calmly, eyes on the road, hands folded neatly in her lap. I had taken in her appearance earlier, but even now, it struck me again—Mira was the embodiment of elegance and quiet beauty. She was the only reason I still lingered at Gigs, even though my mission there had already been accomplished. Bernard had been snooping around, eager to know if I had other assignments. The selection process was over. As for me, staying a week or two longer was simply time to cool off. Once I returned to my seat, there would be no leaving. Every trace connecting me to Voughan had been carefully concealed—except with Bernard so I had watched with mild amusement as Mira fantasized about her entry into my company. She called it the 'apex'. I had heard far more sublime descriptions, yet the word fit. Her joy over Voughan knew no bounds. I remembered how Bernard had considered replacing her with her Clara. Seeing how excited Mira was warmed som

Mira I stood by the window, waiting. He would drive in soon. It was almost eight, his usual time. I silently prayed he’d be sober or exhausted. I walked back to the sofa and sat on the edge, nervous, my hands fidgeting. Then I heard it—the sound of the engine as he drove into the garage. I stood

Mira The sharp ringing of my phone woke me up. I rubbed my fingers across my eyes and blinked at who could be calling at such an hour. I glanced at the alarm clock on my bedside table—it was past three in the morning. I needed sleep. I had drunk a lot alone yesterday. The screen only displayed num

Mira He came with ill luck. I grunted, frustration bubbling as my design sketches fell apart again. Then there was Ken—of course it was him. He had come here to distract me. I was surprised to see him. He lingered by the door, careful, cautious—as if treading on eggshells. I kept my head bent, f

Ken She walked out with that same irritated look she always tried to hide, leaving me craving more of her scent. The magazine in my hand was only camouflage—a reason to linger until every employee left. I hadn’t noticed she was still around until then. Stressed, yet still radiating that smart-woma
