That routine continued for days. I haven't seen him in the building for days. We didn't talk and see each other for days. I didn’t expect that to happen between the two of us, but it was just as he said. I should just do everything that he says, because he told me so.I don't want him to criticize me again and make things happen again that I I’ve been wanting to avoid of happening again. Maybe he’s that kind of person after all. I was so stupid to think that he’ll at least lend me a glance or something but he didn’t. He acted as if he did not know me, as if I was someone else he had never seen.One thing I realized about him is that he’s a pro. Legitimate pro in this field. I wouldn’t be surprised if that one had a lot of kids because he seemed to know very well that the roundabout cycle of the set up of two of us. Is this what he does all the time? Send his surrogates on his company then ignore the hell out of them? Is he that ashamed to let everyone know that he’s trying to conceiv
“Don’t fool the shit out of me, Hugh. Just go away because I need to finish all of these. ”I admit. I became uncomfortable. Feeling the heat of his body made me so much uncomfortable. And not just that, I’m nervous that somebody might have seen us in this kind of position, what would they think of me in that way?"Dead serious, Angel."He sought my gaze but I tried to avoid you. I struggled to loosen his grip on me."I'm dead serious too!""Shhh." he shush me. I hissed.“You’re not gonna believe me? Why do you look so bad of me? Huh? Tell me. ”I pursed my lips trying not to answer him. I don't care because it doesn't make sense if I answer him.”Tell me. Please? ”My legs weakened by his tone. He sounded so different. He didn’t sound rude nor taunting, it’s just pure empathy and softness. I avoided looking at him even more, his face was so close to me that even his breath I could feel. I bit my lower lip and forced myself not to be openly affected by what he was doing.“Angel,” he c
He clouded my shitty mind the whole day.I don’t know what I should think of his actions. I also don’t know what he wants to prove. But other than those things I didn’t know, I wasn’t even more sure what I was supposed to feel.I somehow feel confused and mad, I don’t know why.”U-uhm, Ms. Brook… you can just pass it to me whenever you feel like it. ” Miss Helena told me awkwardly. I answered him quickly.“Uhm, no miss. I’ll pass this to you right away. ” I smiled lightly politely.She hesitated and couldn't look at me nodding then left in front of my table. I rubbed my face and sighed loudly because of the look. At Miss Helena's table I even saw how they whispered one another in there, obviously about me. I sighed and bit my lip pretending not to know what’s happening. I couldn’t help but look around even further across the floor and I could still see how they couldn’t even look at me.This is exactly the reason why I don’t know why I should feel. I’m fuming mad inside because of th
That was his decision, so that prevailed.What he wanted to happen happened. He asked me to eat in his office every lunch time. But that doesn’t end in there.”So what are you now? Some sort of dating huh?”Sir John asked me when he visited my table for a paper work. I couldn’t help but look him in the eyes. I don't know what to answer. If I tell the truth the issue will get worse. And if not, I'm sure will be lying too.He smirked when he saw that I don’t have any option but to not answer him. I kept my mouth shut because it’s better that way."Just so you know, you're playing with a dangerous fire, Angel."I glanced at him confused. Did he think I didn't notice how he treated me differently? Starting that night that he asked me for a coffee break he became different."Hugh." he uttere, defining who he was talking about.My forehead furrowed. He didn’t use any honorifics and that irritated me a bit."What do you mean?"I knew my question didn't make sense because he didn't know what
"Miss Brook,"I looked at the man who Hugh was sending to my floor to pick me up for Lunch. It’s past one in the afternoon already, which means lunch is already done. The workers are all complete in here already, busy with their own world."Tell him that it's past lunch, I won't be able to join him." with a shaky voice I said.I can see in my peripheral view that Sir John is trying to listen to out conversation.“But Mr. President told me to- ”"Please Admiral, just tell him that I had my lunch already."I could see the awkwardness in his reaction to what I’ve just said. For sure he’s torn between following my orders and his boss’s order. Fortunately, after he nodded he left again.He is followed by the gaze of a few at once they turn to me. Probably wondering why I did not go with Admiral, which means why I’m not having lunch with Hugh. The truth is I didn’t have lunch. After that conversation with that blonde woman, I walked straight in here. Hugh didn’t arrive either, maybe he’s t
"Baby,"I stared at him as he seriously brushed my head lightly with his palm.Sometimes, we prefer to stay in the dream so that we can escape the reality of life. But what is it for people who don’t know the difference between the two?I sighed hard as I can still remember what happened that day. This can not be. That cannot be repeated. I know the day will come and it will all end as well. As I wish, I wish everything was just a dream. But I also hope to know what is really true or the reality. This is too much for me to take. He clouded my mind for those times that he didn’t know. And I’m not hoping that he feels the sameFor me, I just want all of these to end. As soon as possible. Before things would get more complicated."You look tired, do you want to rest now?" he asked me.The two of us sat on the couch and he was behind me. His arms are slightly wrapped around me. In short he’s embracing me. While I was not on my own watching the events outside.The shady sky, now even darke
He what?I blinked my eyes fast as I can’t contemplate that article that I’m reading. This is him right? I am not mistaken, am I?I scanned the article and see through it if it’s recent and damn, this is his interview just about the mid of the year! Heck.I scratched my forehead because of the incomprehensible incident. He is the owner of this surrogate company I’m at? I thought… I thought he was just some sort of client or what?"What the hell,"I don’t understand if he was just lying in his interview. But why the hell in this world would he hire me as a surrogate if he doesn’t have plans of having kids? And why didn’t he tell me all this time that he’s the owner of this company?I gulped and got up to go to the balcony. My legs are weakening because of the information being known. Maybe I'm just mistaken? Maybe he just changed his mind so now he wanted to have a child.But why? What is the reason? I almost tweak myself in the chaos of the mind. I don’t know a damn thing about busine
I stared at him. I can’t mentally process what to do next. Should I avoid him? Pretend that I didn't see him? Or meet him and deal with everything that happened today?The cold wind blew my hair but the two of us still looked at each other. On the road I saw the wet concrete that says the rain just poured. I tried to calm my heart while pretending that everything was normal. I smiled a little but it didn’t reach my eyes. I step forward trying to act as if everything is just normal."Are you just going home now?"I almost bit my tongue. Of all the questions in the book why is that even more I thought to ask? I also don't know how to start.He didn’t answer me. He was still leaning against his car as his eyes looked back and forth at me and the flowers in my hand. I looked at the flowers as well. I cleared my throat and spoke."Are you waiting for someone?" I asked again.I also didn't expect him to be waiting for me. I didn’t even receive a text or call saying he would take me to the c
