Riley.

'Pick the phone please.'

'Don't let her words get to you, Riley.'

'I am sorry on her behalf.'

'She is just a child, Riley. She wasn't sure of what she was saying.'

And many more annoying messages from Charles but the particular one that he was trying to tell me that Zelia was child made me more angry. So instead, I didn't even look at my phone.

Not even when I got to work late and he wasn't there, not even when he didn't call me or the office line to let me know that he was going to be late. Facing him was something that I wasn't sure I could easily do.

But then again, I was the one that was offended and hurt. So he should be the one feeling guilty for himself and his daughter. I gulped down the last coffee on the table, making it four cups that I had drank since I made it to work.

Last night, I had to stay awake to do some work, putting some files together because I couldn't sleep. Putting my head on the pillow meant reminding myself of how Zelia constantly reminded me of how

    Charles.The celebratory lunch ended just so bad, it went in different direction as I had wanted it. "I told you to be nice to her, Zelia." I groaned out.Zelia sagged down her shoulders, justifying her actions. "I can't be nice to her dad. She wants to get back at me? Because Noah chose me over her?" She laughed, dryly if I must add.I dropped my top suit on the couch, letting out a deep sigh. "That is not it." I breathed. "Even if Noah chose you over her, It wouldn't take you more than an hour to have been nice to her. See how she walked out of there, so hurt." I recalled.The haunting face of Riley when she left the private dining was eating me up, I had promised her that it was going to be all fine yet, this was what she got back. I saw the tears in her eyes, the betrayal showing clearly. "And honestly, even if Noah had chosen you, you should have least be soft to her, you won already. She is also a human and once your friend.""It doesn't kill to be human." I scolded. For the fir

    　　Riley.　　"It is nice meeting, Miss Riley." Noah extended his hand for a shake but I ignored, pulling a seat for myself. I saw him and ignored him, he was going to feel how it was to be unseen.　　I knew how rude I was just being by ignoring his hand for the shake, but to hell with that, I wasn't going to touch the hand of an enemy. "Congratulations Charles. Zee told me of our new achievement." Noah bursted as if he was the one that had done everything.　　I had to hold myself back from rolling my eyes as his words. "Indeed, it is an achievement. After how many years, I managed to pull this one in." Charles laughed, sitting by my side.　　I moved a bit, giving us the perfect distance. I saw Zelia's eyes lingering on us for a minutes before she turned away. "I am so proud of you, daddy. You are making a name for us."　　At least, he was her father and he owned everything. For Noah, I don't get why he was so happy and I don't even know why I can't seem to trust this happiness of his. The m

    Riley.Pleasing the Russian Minister seemed pretty impossible. At a point, I saw Mr. Charles wiping away the beads of sweat that formed on his forehead. "I like the plan, but how long do you think the business will last in Russia?" The minister questioned, his voice laced with the accent.I didn't imagined that he could speak english and needed a translator but he proved me wrong. There was no translator with him, just few of his aids and securities. The executives that promised to be here with Mr. Charles actually stood him up. None of them made it here, even called to lay out their excuse and it made me pity the man. He needed this contract to expand his business. "If everything works out well, with the promotions and ads, I assure you that it will last forever." Mr. Charles promised."Look at our branch here, and the headquaters in D.C. It generates millions per months and let's not even talk about the annual revenue." He bragged.Before I started working here, I didn't really run

    Riley."So you want me to act like the twins father?" Brian asked, a smile at the corner of his lips even though he tried not to let it show.I nodded my head yes. It was late at night and I had lost hope about Brian making it. At the last minutes, he rang the doorbell and here he was, while I laid out everything for him. "Use your words, Riley."A soft groan left my mouth. "You are mean." I breathed. "But yes, I need you to be their father until everything settles down. I can't let go of the twins yet." I requested.The heavy feeling in my heart was yet to leave, scared of what tomorrow awaits for me. Well, it was past midnight, so I should have said what the day has in stored for me. "That is something that you don't have to ask me to do. I have always been a father firgure to this kids, you just don't see it." He said.Oh, that I saw all the time, but I ignored because I didn't want anything more than this. It was better act stupid about it than acknowledge it. "Thank you, B. You d

    Charles."Do you know her?" Zelia asked, pointing at the door. "I mean, your new secretary." She added.I pressed my lips into a thin line, was there a chance that she found out about what had hapepned between me and Riley years ago? "She is my secretary as you said." I covered up.Nothing was a lie, Riley was my secretary, and nothing more, though I wouldn't say no if she was going to give me another chance to be in her life. "Well, I do know her and I think that she approached you for a reason."I raised my brows, in confusion of what had just came out of her mouth. "She was the best friend that I told you felt betrayed." Zelia quoted, her hand making a sign and this was the first time that I was seeing that side of her. She had told me about a girl that left her for some reasons but she didn't tell me that the girl was actually her college best friend."What do you mean, Angel?" I asked her.I had known Zelia more than things about myself. I had watched her grow, until I had to lea
