CHAPTER 23
"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

After having our snacks at the food court, he insisted on taking me to my unit and I did not refuse."So, you still live here until now?" he asked, seems amused. He even roamed his eyes in the whole place as we entered inside. Maybe he is thinking why after so many years, I was still living here."Yeah. I've been living here since college and I do not really want to leave this place," I answered. This had became my place ever since and I do not want to live in the mansion either. It is too boring there."Make yourself at home Darrel. I will make you cookies," I informed him and went straight to the kitchen but he I noticed him following me."I will help you," he volunteered so I agreed.Having all the things needed and after preparing the ingredients, I was the one mixing all the ingredients while he's the one putting all the mixed ingredients on the cookie sheets and put it in the oven afterwards. After baking, we waited for it to cool down before head

I woke up quickly the next day. Our flight will be later at 1 this afternoon so I need to pack up my things. I just rinsed my face and then I went down. While walking downstairs, I am still rubbing my eyes. Though I already rinsed my face, my senses aren’t that awakened yet.When I got to the living area, I found out that the blanket I gave to Axis last night was already folded. He's no longer there also. What time did he leave? Did he sleep well? He did not even give me words that he was leaving. After a short realization due to some thoughts that are running at the back of my mind, I slightly hit my head. Why am I thinking that? So what if he did not inform me? Tss.Leaving the blanket to where it was placed, I went straight to the kitchen to get something to drink. Then there, I saw a post-it note glued on the door of my refrigerator. I don't even know where he took that post-it note. But then, I quickly took it and read what was written on it.I made your

Still on our way to the airport, I received a message from Aishi and she told me that she already arrived there. Also, I received a message from Darrel, he's apologizing to me for not being true to his words. His former manager organized a surprise comeback party for him and he could not refuse that's why he was not able to pick me up. I just told him that it was okay and there's no need for him to be sorry because of it.When we arrived at the airport, we immediately looked for Aishi. Axis was still dragging my suitcase and I cannot understand myself why I was not complaining even though he was still holding my hand."Oh, hey! Hi Axis," Aishi greeted us and she secretly eyed me when she saw Axis beside me, then she pulled me a bit forward as she stood by my side. "I thought Darrel would be the one to drive you here? Why is he with you?" she whispered to me. I just told her Darrel's reason and she nodded.The three of us sat in the bleachers while waiting for our f

"Ma'am, are you all right? We are already here," Uncle Ato took my attention by asking that question. I then pursed my lips.I wanted to tell Uncle Ato to retreat the car back and just take me to my condo unit but I restrained myself because part of me feels pity for him knowing that he had delivered foods here and there. I know he was tired as well. So in the end, I decided to get off the car. After all, I was already here so might as well uphold this impulsive decision of mine.Like the usual, all the employees looked at me and they greeted me cheerfully when I walked inside the Averion Company and I also greeted them back, plastering a smile on my face.As I got inside the elevator, I kept scolding myself. What did I think of coming here? Good thing I was alone in the elevator because if it happens that I am with other people, they might think I am crazy."Oh well, you are crazy Yasha Reese Heuson," I talked to myself.When the door opens, I went out

I woke up at exactly seven o'clock in the morning. Just after finishing my cup of coffee, I went back to my room to look for an outfit I am going to wear later.Film contract event will happen at CineMaxx studio later at 10. It is about the upcoming movie film they had offered me the last time which I accepted.You see, it will happen three hours from now and I am already wide awake. I am just excited to be honest. Seeing the clock strikes before 9, I immediately took a bath. It is better this way so I have enough time to prepare for myself.Wearing a white off shoulder blouse with red ruffle peplum midi skirt and stilleto for my shoes, I darkened my lipstick with Rouge Dior Lipstick before leaving my vanity mirror.I headed to the basement the moment I stormed out my unit and I saw Aishi there who's been waiting me for minutes I guess? I was in front of my mirror when she texted me so I guessed she's been here for minutes now."Good morning, manager,"
