Nia woke up when her alarm rings. She's expecting to see Bryce on the other side of the bed since its only seven in the morning but all she saw is the shadow of his head on the other pillow.
She lazily remove the pink ruffled comforter around her and suddenly, she felt a sting on her head. Maybe because she didn't have enough sleep. She took off her clothes and while on shower, she remembered that last night is the most memorable night for them and Bryce.
At last, they made their relationship official! She felt more secure now that she heard Bryce and Scott's man-to-man conversation about marriage. She knew in heart that Bryce is a responsible man and he wouldn't promise to do anything that he cannot do in the future.
She continue doing her morning routine and gathered all her files needed for the dress pattern that she need to pass to the factory. She'll just see Bryce later after office hours.
"Hey, darling! I prepared some sandwich for you si
Bryce flew back to the Philippines since his Dad wants to formally announce that he will be the new Chairman of McClove Holdings Corporation. His father built the company using his own inheritance from his grandparents. Their family business got bankrupt three times because of their greedy competitors. Luckily, when his Dad helped an old man to buy his meal in a fast food stall without asking for anything, the same old man helped him out to get loan from his own bank. It happened that the old man is a multi-million are and he didn't have any family to inherit his own business. Coincidentally, it's the same time when his father's family diswoned him because he took Business Administration Major in Marketing Management although his family wants him to take Neurosurgeon course. In fact
To Nia's surprise, a cold atmosphere was filled in the air after she came back to the dinning table where both her mom Agatha and Scott where silently glancing at her. She knew they were talking with their eyes since they are having a weird hand gestures while eating. As if a bomb will explode anytime soon!"Mom, is there something I need to know? Both of you are dead silent after I came back from shower. Is there something wrong?" The smile on her lips slowly fades as none of them answer her question. "So, there is?"Scott cleared her throat a couple of times before he took a deep sigh and made an eye contact with her. "Darling, you don't need to worry about it. Your mom and I will take care of it, I swear!"Nia felt her mom kicked Scott's feet and that result for his crumpled like face with a fake smile on his lips."Is it about Bryce? Oh, come on! Does he have an upcoming surprise for me?" She grinned only to s
34Without Agatha's consent, Nia went in to her Ob-Gyne's appointment. Unlike the other women who were also sitting in the designated metal bench with their mother or husband, Nia is sitting side by side with Scott. As expected, all eyes are directed to them since Scott's age is showing with all the wrinkles on his face and she, on the other hand, looks like his wife based on how they looked a her.Nia whispered at Scott. "Their looks are hilarious, aren't they? Do I look like your wife or something? I thought the people here aren't judgemental but based on their reactions, I think they are.""Let them think what they want to think about us. What matters the most is for us to know if you have a little bean growing here." Scott carefully touch her small tummy before he continued, "And if I'll be a grandfather soon! I'll be excited to boast with my amigos about your pregnancy. I'm sure they're eyes will be as big as an owl when they'll
After Nia dressed up with her favorite purple balloon tube top and stretchable pants. She just grab a coat from her closet without checking its color since she'll just use it to cover her top and she'll remove it eventually in her own office. She want to spend more time sleeping now rather than working or doing anything in her office. She wants to take a few months off but her mother is very strict and she doesn't want her to just crawled up in bed all day!Nia got dressed at exactly seven in the morning so that she can still go back to sleep until nine in the morning. Though her sleep was interrupted since her dad came in at eight thirty."Come on, sleepy head! You can skip going to office right now but still you need to go to the car right away so that we won't be late to your doctor's appointment!" He carefully guide her shoulder and back to get up from bed as her mother put her black Jimmy Choo flat shoes."Yeah, you c
Kaler Bryce's plan wants to stay in his condo for his planned leave but his desired peace for the first time in two years was disturbed by his mother's call at five in the morning.He rubbed his eyes before he got the phone on his side table."What's up, ma? If its not an emergency, just let me sleep, okay?""Bryce, son, I had been compromised to get someone from the airport and I had an early meeting with the board of directors today. I can't contact my friend's number which is her mother to tell her that. Can you do me a favor and fetch her from the airport at eight this morning?""What? Eight? Ma! Its three and half hours from here before I can make it on the airport! You should call me earlier to say that! I couldn't make it even I go at this moment!""That's why I called you! I cannot face her mom if I didn't do anything right now! Come on, what is the use of you being a race car driver?"
On the next morning, Nia got out off the bed at ten in the morning. She was sound asleep last night and didn't bother to check if she had a housemate.At eighteen years old, she became independent by living on her own and having three part time jobs at Bronx, New York while studying in an open university for college.She was an assistant chef in an Italian restaurant, a cashier until three in the afternoon and an online doctor since she is a Psychology Major. All in all, every week, she got a total salary of $4,550, enough for her to spend on foods, clothes and her college tuition.Her mom often give her an allowance of $5,000 a week even if she refused it, it will be transferred to her bank account. She just got used to it and let the remaining money in her account.Until recently, she withdraw half of her money for her vacation.Maybe she can cook a meal for her housemate for a commemoration of he
Nia quickly put the towel around her body as she heard the man chuckled loudly. She imagined the man scanning her buttocks from behind and it made her cringed.It's the first time that a man was not attracted to her slender body figure. In her previous work in an Italian Restaurant in New York, she was pretty popular that all the men drool over her even though she wears a chef's uniform. The women told her she has a body to die for like a model's figure.Some magazines also called her to be their new face including the Vogue which is based in France, New York magazine, Harper's Bazaar and GQ so she was insulted by that man's respond when he saw her body silhouette from behind.Is it only a silhouette? Or is she afraid that the man saw her round buttocks and will saw motive to seduce her? Ah! I don't know and I don't care! I only came here to have a peaceful vacation but it looks like she will not have one.She had a habit of pleasing people with her cooking s
Half an hour passed by and Nia started to calm down. She started to hear the birds chirping from afar and she saw her reflection in the mirror with the man earlier hugging her from behind.He look funny and nervous while he hugged her. His eyes were tightly shut while he bit his lower lips that is starting to get bloody.Her breathing is still heavy to the point that she needs to gasp for air but she can tolerate it until her heart beats back to normal.After several years of having physical and psychological therapy, she still have panic attacks that was caused by stressed. Her mother knew it.She still tried to smile but it turns out a grimace in her face.The man's right eye opened and when he saw her scanning his reflection in the mirror, he quickly release her from his arms that made him bounce as he sit near her bed. He looked electrified.Now it's her turn to chuckle nonstop.
