"We're having a meeting. I need to attend that first, is it okay?” That was Bryce's opening to me when he finally got in and got into the car. "It's okay. Grandpa is still here and hasn't left yet. I can just keep up with them," I answered as I turned to him. He looked at me and seemed to be calculating whether to agree to my suggestion. "No. I'll bring you home. It will be quick.” I would have screamed but I watched from where I was as the car used by Grandpa and his daughter left here earlier and I was sure that it was them too because I also saw Grandma Briella and Grandpa Elizalde looking at them until it completely disappeared from our sight. I kept quiet until Bryce started the engine of his car and drove toward the entrance of the building. When his car stopped, I didn't wait for him to get out and hoped that he would open the door for me because I immediately took the initiative, and maybe later I would be the one to be embarrassed. When he came in front of me, his forehead
I looked around the room where I was now. The color of its wall is dark blue and so are the thick and large curtains blocking the large young men and there in the half of the glass door where I can see the balcony. In front of me, I saw a door and I guessed it was the bathroom. On the other side of that is a double glass door that is also covered by a dark blue curtain from the inside and I think that is the walk-in closet. I dropped my body on the dark blue bed as well as the pillows and blankets that were covering me. My eyes widened and then the blanket was lifted and there I breathed a sigh of relief that the dress I was wearing earlier was still on today. I sat down again and leaned against the headboard of the bed until I looked at the side table where there was a lamp and a clock. It's 2:00 in the morning... I was surprised to look at the clock again just as I was about to close my eyes when I realized what time it was. I immediately left the covering of the blanket on my bod
A few days have passed since the night when Bryce disturbed my thoughts even more. The words he used that night have not disappeared from my mind and the questions that I can't answer have only increased, but until now I can't do anything other than keep it to myself. Although I really couldn't help but think that since that night, Braylon has always been here and teasing me just like the other day when he was here and Dra. Saighna was busy, I'm the one he's messing with. "I'm really surprised when Bryce suddenly silenced Eunice. I thought that he had convinced him to sign the contract with Suarez, especially Eunice's smile of victory but.. but..” He did not immediately finish what he was saying when suddenly he was led by his laughter that He can still clearly see and witness what he is telling in front of him, "...Eunice was even more hopeful when Bryce stood up and then took off the suit he was wearing. I even saw Eunice biting her lip and tucking a few strands of her hair behind h
"When did you tell me a story? You're always lazy!" I grinned when I imagined how much Arthur was stressing me out but he couldn't do anything because he wanted me to mess him up rather than his girls messing him up. "Can you send me the information that you can tell me about Don Carlos Diego Aquino y Suarez?" "You know that it is confidential, Gia." "Yes, I know. That's why I said those are the only ones you can give me, right?" “Tsk. Okay. I'll send it to you tomorrow morning." "Thank you!" I smiled widely because I had not failed and I could show Bryce that I was telling the truth. What I still don't want is that I'm the right one but I don't believe it because there's no evidence whatsoever. I felt disappointed in myself whenever that happened because I felt like I didn't do much to justify and fight for what I think is right. "When are you coming back here to Manila?" My attention returned to Arthur when he suddenly asked a question. "Why? You miss me already?" I asked teas
No one else spoke to the two of us again until we got to Bryce's office which is just there on the floor before where Grandma Briella had their guests on their anniversary. "We're here," said Braylon and then he opened the door for me. Before entering, I checked Braylon's face again, and when he noticed that, he smiled at me. That smile that I knew was real somehow and not as forced as before when I saw him in the elevator. "Thank you," I said and then entered Bryce's office. When I entered, I saw him with his back turned to me while sitting on his swivel chair. I took a deep breath before trying to get his attention but I was just in the middle of breathing when I was overtaken when he suddenly faced me. "What took you so long?" I was surprised when he greeted me with that question. “Huh?” "Tsk," he said and then reached for the wireless telephone at his side. "Call for a meeting now." I just remained standing where I was while observing the furrowing of his forehead and then i
"What do you think about my presentation?" I asked Bryce as I chased him out of the conference room. I couldn't help but feel nervous and excited about his reaction because earlier when we were inside the conference room, I didn't even look at the emotion on his face for a long time because I couldn't keep up with his gaze. He told me until he finally left that room after finishing the meeting. I forced myself to keep up with his steps because he was so tall that I could hardly keep up. I don't even know why and what kind of trip he's on because he seems to be in a hurry. When I was finally able to keep up with him and was able to see his face, my excitement immediately disappeared because I couldn't even detect any emotion there. I couldn't help but wonder if he was angry because of what I did to embarrass Eunice or maybe there was another reason since earlier when I just entered his office it was like he had a monthly visit if he looked at me. "Aren't you impressed?" I couldn't avoi
"Thank you, Dra. McKenna," Bryce politely promised the doctor before we got into his car. To this day my brain can barely process what is happening. Has anyone ever eaten what this guy did and suddenly wanted to come out?! When have we been so close for him to act like this? "Where exactly are we going, huh?" I couldn't stand it anymore so I only spent a few minutes in his car when I started asking questions. "I don't feel good about whatever your trip is." I will be true. "I can't imagine that you would suddenly want to go on a date. With me?! Have you eaten something to suddenly want to do that?!" I couldn't avoid raising my voice because of the frustration I was feeling earlier. Ever since he told me to get ready because he was going to pick me up tonight to go on a date, that hasn't left my mind. "What do you mean?" For the first time since I saw him again tonight his face had an expression. His brow furrowed slightly although his eyes remained on the road. "Are you going to ta
"And I'm hugging her right now." I don't know how many seconds passed before I finally processed what he said in my brain. I immediately got away from him and then faced him. I glared at him. "What do you mean you're hugging her right now?" I raised an eyebrow at him and then frowned. I immediately turned my back and then walked towards the living room of the yacht because I couldn't fight to look at him anymore. There's something in his eyes that seems like when he looks at me it penetrates my soul. "Is there something you want to eat?" he asked after a few minutes when all we could hear was the waves of the sea. His question was like a cue when my stomach suddenly started to boil. I was tormented by loss and I cursed with the wind. "Watch your mouth, lady," he reprimanded me before walking straight down a hallway that I think leads to the kitchen. I couldn't help but follow my curiosity that's why I followed it. "What do you want to eat?" "You know how to cook?" I couldn't help b
