CHAPTER 38
My eyes were fixated steadily at Axis while he was looking at me intently. Consciousness instantly grew inside of me so I looked away but I felt his hand at my chin. He lifted it up until our gazes met again.
I gulped prior to what I'm feeling. "What are you going to do?" I don't know where did I get the courage to ask him that. I feel so nervous, that's all I know.
I saw that the smirk plastered on his lips had been replaced by a smile.
"Why?" I once asked as he stared at my face.
“Nothing. It's just that, it's my first time to see you without any make up on your face and I think you are one of those living proofs that women are beautiful without make ups." I can feel how my cheeks blushed. How can I not? Except for what he stated, he was staring straight at me while mentioning those words.
"Let's grab a lunch together. That's really my purpose on calling you but I don't know what has gotten into me that I ended tripping you out. My apologies," he said

Been busy this past few weeks as we have started guesting from different morning and noon time shows with Darrel to plug our upcoming movie Surprising Turn of Fate.By next month, 10th of December, will be the official date for the movie release that's why we are guesting from different shows one after the other. It's part of promoting the movie.Aside from attending variety of talk shows, we are also preparing for mall shows. We've already been to various mall shows actually. The next day, our target is to visit Ilo-ilo and Cebu."Yasha and Darrel, you'll be guesting later at Celebrity Night, alright?" A reminder to us by Aunt Madi, Darrel's manager. Aishi was with us today since she is my manager.All of us stayed inside the lobby of the CineMaxx studio and we are with Director Maxine. She's telling us about the things we need to focus with."After guesting at Celebrity Night later, we will focus on the premiere night," Director Maxine

Weekend came so I informed Aishi to cancel all my schedules for the meantime. I just need to rest myself. Just last week, we went to Ilo-ilo and Cebu for our mall shows, so right now, we're just preparing for the upcoming of our premiere night.As the elevator opens, I walked inside. I'm just waiting for it to close when suddenly a foot put in between the doors so it opened again and it was not surprising that Axis now appeared in front of me, but my chest suddenly beats fast when I remembered him kiss me before. Argh! Forget it Yasha, will you? I scolded myself."Where are you off to?" He asked as soon as he stood beside me."In my restaurant," I sparingly answered. When we got down in the basement, Axis suddenly pulled me up."Hey, where are you taking me?" I asked but he did not answer me. I just found out that we are already here in front of his car and let me in there. He then put the key in the ignition and started driving his car."I will get off
Playful Fate CHAPTER 41
That conversation made everyone look at my direction. When they realized who I am, some of the board members flocked in front of me and they were also asking for my autograph. Maybe it was a lucky day for me, or for us rather because Axis wasn't angry, perhaps he is and he's just trying to refrain himself. I didn't expect that they would ask for my autograph anyway.A short period of time was wasted because of me. When we all settled, that's when Axis started talking again in front of the board members. While he's preceding the meeting, I noticed that he's really different. In every word he says, you will feel the authority in his voice. He's far differ compared to the attitude he's showing me.Gone are the hours, yet I had no idea what they were talking about. It's about their project, I guess? Anyway, I'm not certain about it since business is not my thing.Subsequent to that gathering, Axis took my hand and we were about to leave the conference hall when that wo
Playful Fate CHAPTER 42
Our movie Surprising Turn of Fate is now showing in all cinemas nationwide. I am so excited with it, but thinking about Darrel? I just don't know how or what should I react. I still can't move on from what he did the other night. He just kissed me. He just confessed with me and he even informed that he will court me! Is he for real?I averted my attention when my phone rings."Yes?" I responded.[Where are you? We're already here at the studio.] Aishi said on the other line."I'm coming. Just wait for me," I replied, heaving a deep sigh after that conversation.I don't know what should I feel right now knowing that Darrel would be there. It's just that, I've known him for how many years. Then one day, he just confessed with me. Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable because of that? And how can I face him right now at this state?When I got down in front of the studio, I sighed deeply before deciding to get inside. I saw that all of them were already the

I forced myself to smile after hearing what Axis replied. "Y-yeah. There's n-nothing b-between the two of us," my voice weaken and I couldn’t help but to avoid his stare. "I think I have to go. Aishi texted me and they need me at the resto," I excused but that was a lie because Aishi didn't sent me a message at all."Alright," Axis responded plainly and I felt more pain in my chest."I guess I have to go now," I said and stood up. I slowly stepped out and I am expecting him to follow me like the usual thing he does but I already stormed out of his office, yet I didn't even feel his presence behind me.Upon closing the door, I leaned my back against it. Every time I went out of his office before, he would accompany me out and take me to my restaurant, but why is he not doing that now?I closed my eyes when I feel the weight on my chest. Why am I feeling this? Axis, why are you like this?"Ma'am Yasha?" I was stunned when someone tapped my arm. "Are you a
Playful Fate CHAPTER 44
I woke up because of a series of knocks from outside my unit so I got out of bed. Without checking how do I look like, I left the room and headed to the first floor."Good morning," I stopped rubbing my eyes when I saw that it was Darrel and was holding a bunch of flowers. "For you," I quickly straightened myself and fixed my messy hair before I reached for the flower."Ah, thank you. Good morning. Come in," I shyly invited him inside. "What are you doing here this early?" I asked him, curiosity crossed in my face. It's not new to me that he always comes here. I'm just wondering what he is doing here this early."Doing what suitors usually do?" He answered smilingly and I had not choice but to return him back the smile. I still feel the awkwardness though."You want coffee?" I asked and saw him nod his head so I quickly went to the kitchen and made two cups of coffee; one which is mine, the other one is for him.After handling him the cup of coffee,

Playful Fate CHAPTER 45
The next following days, Darrel always picks me up and delivers me back to my unit. I even read some articles about us, asking if we're dating or not. No one spoke on either side of mine and Darrel. Let them think whatever they want to think about us."Ma'am Reese, I noticed that you go out more often with Sir Darrel?" Honeyleth asked. This woman is really curious about things, and I'm the one whom she always pays attention to."Besides, Ma'am, why doesn't Sir Axis seem to see you anymore?" She asked again but I didn't answer her question. I decided to just keep quiet because to be honest, I can't and I don't want to answer her.As lunch time approaches, lot of customers came. The more the customers arrive, the busier I get at the restaurant. And that became my routine every time I am here at the restaurant."Let's go Yasha," Darrel was here again and he said he would take me to the restaurant.That's what he always does. Even if I stop him, he wo
