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
"Where did you two come from last night and do that?" Braylon asked me immediately when he got near my seat. The two of us are here today on the medical mission and are carefully watching the release of food by Braylon and Bryce's companions. They were one after the other and they even had their tent where they used to stay. They also started offering to people even Bryce who although offering also gave me a bad look. I couldn't help but laugh because I knew the reason for his thoughts. "Woi. I don't know. What are you laughing at? Has that friend of mine leveled up whatever you have, huh?" The excitement was evident in Braylon's voice because he was like a child clinging to my arm and shaking it causing me to face him and lose sight of Bryce. "What just happened? Huh? Tell me a story." I laughed and shook my head and then jokingly messed with his hair so that I had to bend over to do it. "Calm down," I promised and then laughed. "You're becoming childish again because of your goss
"What's with you and Bryce?" I was just surprised when suddenly Saighna approached me and just like that she was staring at me to the point that I even backed away because of the shock. I know what she's going through. That was the series of Bryce coming here who was always after me. To be honest, that one is here again and if Braylon hadn't pulled away from me, he would have surely followed me again and Saighna has no chance to get close to me now. "We're.. friends.." I don't know if I said that right because apart from being confused about how suddenly one day Bryce and I became close, I don't know if we are friends anymore because to me at least yes. I think of him as a friend even though I am often confused by his actions. "Liar." That's just how the word came out of Saighna. "I know you're seducing him, Gia." Her tone was very sure. "What would happen if your Mom found out what you were doing?" An insulting smile immediately appeared on her lips. I just suffered from nothingne
A few days have passed since Bryce and Braylon continue to come here on our medical mission. They often become our food delivery because of the amount of food they prepare for the patients. I can see the joy on the faces of the people who are here, especially the young people who tasted such foods only a few days ago. But the doubts about Bryce do not go away, especially the elders and the people in charge of the area. I can often see them looking down on Bryce. Others will even scold the child because he likes to accept food from men. I can only hold my breath because I don't fully understand why it is so difficult for them to trust the man who gives time and time for them. "What are you thinking?" My mind snapped back to reality when I heard that familiar voice of Bryce's from behind me. I even felt the warm touch of his breath on the back of my neck, causing it to give me a strange feeling. I faced him. "Nothing. It's none of your business." I forced myself to lie down with him
"Why is it that you have the urge to miss and sulk, eh, you don't have anything, and then you do that," I teased Braylon one morning. While on the way to the medical mission, I immediately talked to him. Because of his dramatic nature, I feel sorry for him. He hasn't been here for a few days on a medical mission and he said he was on a trip to make Saighna miss and sulk because of what happened in the past. I'm just shaking my head because he's so confident that the woman will miss him. "It's too early to hurt me with the fact that I already know, Gia." The acting is obvious in his voice. I just suffered from nothingness. "I know it's too early, so I'm impressed with you for being able to be so quick when you know that I'm on my way to a medical mission and it's hard to see Saighna there because she's been late more and more lately.." I don't know but when I remembered that moment I couldn't help but feel a pain in my chest. I also can't help but think that it's not unlikely that he
