"Hey," Axis held my both arms and I heard him curse softly while looking at me. Then I felt him caressing my face.
"Stop crying. You are safe, okay? You are now safe," then he tuck my hair at the back of my ears after drying my tears using his thumb. "Let's go. I'll bring you home," and there, he held me in my shoulder and lead me on a walk.
It was as if nothing had happened to me. I don't know how to feel. All I know is that my heart is still beating so fast until now. I'm just like a robot supported by Axis. I did not even realize that we were already inside the elevator.
We went outside there after and I just found out that we were already in front of my unit. He asked for my pass code and clicked to open it.
"Yasha? Hey, Yasha," it was only then that I got back to my senses.
"A-ah," I responded and quickly wiped the tears from my eyes.
"Don't think about it anymore, okay? You are safe," he said, trying to calm me down and to ease what I
In less than just five minutes, I saw a black Subaru Forester that parked in front of my restaurant. I don't know if it's just me but the car looks familiar.W-wait? It was Axis' car. This is what he used before. My forehead furrowed and I was right when the door opened. It was really his.He got out of his car and he went inside my restaurant. With head held high, plus the fact that his height is shouting for extreme tallness, he walks as if he is joining a fashion model show and almost all of our female customers were staring and drooling over him. Not to mention, he's wearing a business suit which adds to his dominance, making him look more dashing.And wait? Did he really come here just to pick me up like what he has texted me?He stopped in front of me and smiled but I just frowned at him."What are you doing here?" I raised an eyebrow at him."I have texted you, haven't I?" he replied coolly while his hands were tucked in both of
While walking next to Axis, people who noticed me immediately flock in front of me."Guys! It's Miss Yasha! She's here!""Come on, let's take a picture with her!"They all scream just by the sight of me. I also heard group of women whisper then they all came near me. Some were already taking me photos."Excuse me. Miss Yasha, can I have a picture with you?" a woman asked, plastering a smile on her cute and chubby face."Oh sure," I agreed and they quickly stood next to me.With her friends, they are pointing each other who will take us pictures. Because I thought of something silly, I asked for their phone and took it from them then I looked at Axis."Ax, would you please?" I made a puppy eyes on him. Sure he knows what I mean. I saw his jaw tighten. I just secretly laughed when he took the cellphone from me.Upon capturing, people are already flocking in front of me, waiting for their chance to have a picture with me
"You misinterpreted it, Miss. I am not ruining your relationship, okay?" I explained. Just the thought of me ruining someone's relationship made me shiver. Like, hello? The hell I care about their relationship?"Shut up! It will not change the fact that you two fooled me!" she yelled at me, then she suddenly approached me. Since I am not aware of her action, this girl pulled my hair. What the hell?"Jenny, stop it!" that blonde guy tried to stop this woman, or let's say his girlfriend but this woman slapped me again.I pursed my lips, trying to restrain myself. Gosh, this skinny woman already slapped me twice. Is she abusing my kindness here?"JENNY!" this Jayvee guy stopped his girlfriend.Some of his male friends also stop her and Jayvee quickly pulled me away from Jenny. That's only when I noticed that we already got the attention of many people here and they are already watching us."I'm sorry, Miss Yasha," the blonde guy apologized to me, and
I was inside Axis' car, sitting on the shotgun seat while he's at the driver's seat, next to me. Until now, I still can't understand the strange feeling I had in me.Okay, he just told everyone that I am his fiancee. And so what? Maybe he did that just for publicity, right? Argh! Why this one is so big deal to me now?"Hey," using his fingers, Axis slightly flicked me on the forehead."What?" eyes with shooting daggers, I glared him then I shook my head to erase those thoughts running at the back of my mind. "Wait, where am I?" It was only then that I noticed the strange appearance of the things around me."You're inside my unit woman," Axis replied.My eyes grew large. "What the hell? Where am I?" I couldn’t help but raise my tone while repeating that question. Why am I here? What am I doing here in his unit?"Your mouth woman," he warned me."Why am I here?" I asked again, my voice is still in high tone. I never entered
"You're not joking, aren't you?" I couldn't believe what he just said but he just looked at me straight.He shook his head as his way of telling me that he is not joking at all. "The day when that news about us being engaged has spread, like what I have told you, your name is already attached to my name Yasha. Look, I am not doing this just for publicity, nor to protect our images but also to protect you," he elucidated at me."Look what have happened at the mall yesterday. Would you just let anyone call you names and let other people think that you really are? If I didn't come up on that scene to tell everyone that you are my fiancee, just like what the girl did, for sure people will also believe that you are a relationship wrecker. You get my point, Yasha Reese? I am doing this because I want to protect you," he added and a sincerity drew in his eyes as I stared him.He has a point somehow. If he did not appear, people will definitely think that I was a relations
I blew up a heavy breath as if giving up. Good thing he let go of me after that. We quietly stood side by side inside the elevator. When that stopped he came out while I am walking after him. Reaching his office, he went inside and so am I. He then walked to his table while I sat on the sofa, leaning my back lazily on it.I menacingly gave him a bad shot look when he sat there, obviously he is now ready to work with the piles of paperwork he need to do. And what will I do here? Idly watching him while working? It's way better if he dropped me at my restaurant, at least there, I have some things to do unlike here.My phone suddenly rings after the long silence. It is Aishi."What?" I asked on the other line and I saw Axis turned to me.[Where are you?]"In the other world. I was kidnapped by a fool," I replied with extreme exasperation.[Whatever Yasha! I just called to inform you that we can handle the resto so there is no need for you to come her
After having a phone call with Aishi, I continued browsing my phone the whole time I was inside Axis' office because that's the only thing I could do to kill my time. I felt so bored. If he really had dropped me off at the restaurant, I would have used my time helping my people instead of doing nothing here.Bored, I lay down on the sofa and put my feet on the backrest while still browsing through my phone."Would you please sit erect?" Axis disobeyed me."What do you think of me? A child? Sit erect my ass," I spoke with sarcasm."You are really something, woman," he told me, sounded pissed. He even glared at me with that eyebrows of him which have met again. Tss. He's like a gay.I didn't listen to whatever he says. I keep on browsing my phone until group of men entered Axis' office. Just like him, they are also wearing business suits."Hey, man!""Yow! How's life, dude?""Doing company stuff again?"That's what these guys greet
When we got off the elevator, almost all the employees here in his company looked at us and as usual they murmured again. Reaching to where his car parked, Axis motioned me to sit in front. He then sat next to me and drove until we arrived at my restaurant. And guess what? He even walked first inside than me."Oh Sir, I told you not to return Ma'am Reese back," Honeyleth greeted us with her jokes and I heard the customers laughing."Honeyleth," warned as it may seem, but Honeyleth kept on saying senseless things."Come on Ma'am Reese, I know you are enjoying Sir Axis' company. You see, you look sweet to each other," she added and I ended up rolling my eyes.Not minding them laughing at me, I went straight to my table and put my bag there. "Where's Aishi?" I asked them because I haven't seen her since I came here."Ma'am Aishi left awhile ago but she told us that she's coming back sooner," Jenna answered me. I just nod but where did that woma
