"Good evening, you didn't tell me you were busy with other things, that's why you couldn't go to work today?" Gideon sarcastically asked Isabel, his face solemn."Could you leave? Derek might return, and I don't want him to see you.""What happens if I don't?"Isabel smirked. "If you don't leave, I won't go back to the Resort.""How are you going to pay me?""I'll find a way, if only I could go back to the bar-""No!""What is your concern about that?"Gideon gave her a heartfelt look. "I'll leave here but promise to return to work at the Resort tomorrow." Isabel became silent. She is wondering why this man is concerned about her and how she pays back. She doesn't have a choice, though.“Okay. I’ll go back to work tomorrow…in the Resort.” she finally said.Gideon nodded and stood up. “Then I'll see you tomorrow." When Gideon returned to the table with Catherine, the businesswoman asked him about it.“Do you have a problem with that girl?” Catherine asked him.Gideon returned his gaz
Gideon drove his car to the bar, while Freya just followed him away. She couldn't catch up with Gideon anymore because it looked like his destination was important, every time he finished work, Gideon was always eager to leave the Resort. Even though it was painful for her, she couldn't confess her true feelings to Gideon for fear of him rejecting how she felt. As a result, she chose to remain silent and obey whatever he said.She took out her phone and dialed the number of a man she always called when she needed to talk or comfort."Hello, Darwin. See me tonight in the hotel.” Freya said over the phone. After a brief conversation, Freya hung up the phone and walked out of the Resort.________Gideon went straight to the bar owned by his father. He immediately entered the VIP room where two women immediately greeted him.“Back off!” Gideon ordered the two women who’s trying to catch up with him, but quickly left the VIP room.Gideon immediately took the whiskey that was poured into th
Gideon slowly opened his eyes, noticing that his left arm was heavy, and looking at the woman who was leaning on it. When he saw Isabel sleeping soundly by his side, he couldn't stop smiling.Gideon removed the hair from Isabel's face with his right palm. "Beautiful," he said as he looked at her angelic face.“Hmmmm…” Isabel mumbled. "Oh.my.God.." was Alice's reaction when she got out of her room to see Isabel and Gideon sleeping side by side on the sofa."Ssshhh.." Gideon hushed because he didn't want to disturb Isabel's sleep.Even Isaac was stunned by what he saw."Um, Isaac, go to the shower now and I'll prepare breakfast." Alice said quickly so as not to disturb them.While Gideon could not get out of his place. Until Isabel slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes widened when she saw Gideon's smiling face next to him.“What the–”"Good morning." Gideon greeted her, smiling in her eyes._______“He’s late again!” Freya snorted as she looked outside the Resort, Gideon was an hour late.
Gideon drank himself into whiskey at the bar. The memories of Derek and Isabel dancing to romantic music are still fresh in his mind. And how Freya used it to her advantage to kiss him.(FLASHBACK)"What the hell, Freya!"" Gideon yelled, pushing Freya away from him after she kissed him on the lips."What? It was supposed to be like this, we were going on a date and-""You're insane!" Gideon looked at Isabel and Derek hugging each other. He stopped and didn’t know how to react.“Yeah, I am right. You are in love with that poor waitress!” Freya said, controlling her emotions.Gideon looked at her, “This date is over!” as he took his coat and left the Resort, leaving Freya heartbroken.(END OF THE FLASHBACK)Gideon throws the glass against the wall. It was the first time his heart had been broken. Seeing the woman he loves hugging another man while dancing sweetly. But his thoughts returned to the moment Isabel slept with his arm this morning.""Yeah, the only way I'll know we feel the s
Inside the car, Gideon and Isabel were still hugging each other, as if they were making the most of their time together. Isabel's head was resting on Gideon's shoulder, who was caressing her arm gently."It started that night," Isabel explained as she played with Gideon's hands. They are reminiscing about their first night together."Since then, I've always been looking for your fragrance...you drove me insane Isabel that night, and you still do it every time you get closer to me," Gideon replied before kissing Isabel on the forehead.Isabel smiled and turned to face him. "Gideon, I want to be completely honest with you about Derek."Gideon frowned. "Go ahead.""He is my ex-boyfriend, he is my puppy love in high school. But nothing intimate happened in four months of relationship with him.” Isabel explained.Gideon nodded. "I trust you, Isabel.""Gideon, I want us to be honest with each other. But I'm concerned about tomorrow; I don't know how to act properly at work, especially since
"Isabel, how is Sir Gideon?" Alice asked as soon as Isabel exited the office."I think he was too affected by what happened to Ms. Freya. He’s not like the Gideon I'm talking to today, not the one from last night." Isabel answered sadly."Perhaps we just need to understand him for now; perhaps he's having trouble at work," Alice responded.Isabel nodded. "Maybe he needs space, because I don't know him very well yet. I don't know what he wants or doesn't want.""Give him space first, let him introduce himself to you," Alice stroked Isabel's back. “Let's get back to work."Isabel nodded, wiping her tears away from the corner of her eyes. She and Alice parted ways to return to their work._______"Kevin, where is Gideon?" Freya asked as soon as her eyes opened. While Darwin seemed to be disappointed on one side, when Freya noticed him, it was Gideon that she was looking for."He will come here too soon, he's just busy with work because you know you're not there to assist him, he is havi
"Hey...are you alright?" Isabel asked Gideon after their hug. Gideon, however, refused to remove his wrapped hand from Isabel's waist.Gideon shook his head. "I'm sorry about this morning."Isabel stroked his cheek. "I understand, you've been with Ms. Freya for a long time, especially at work, and—""This isn't about Freya," Gideon sighed. "My Uncle called me, and...he wants me to return to the City because if I don't, my older brother will take over the company," he explained."What? But it was you who built it."Gideon nodded. "Yeah..that's why I need to get back there as soon as possible."Isabel suddenly gets sad. "How long are you gonna stay there?"Gideon didn't respond right away.Isabel felt that Gideon didn't answer right away. She believes Gideon will be in New York for an extended period of time and is unsure when he will return to Brooklyn. It’s a bit different because you won't see me at Resorts anymore." Gideon smiled bitterly."Yeah...I'll miss you," Isabel said as she
In the morning, Gideon was stunned on one side. He continues to think about his mother. In her dream, he called her again. This happens whenever he has a problem or something bothers him, especially when it involves his father.He sighed and shifted his gaze to the papers under his desk. He needed to finish these papers, but his headache was still drowning him.It's still a burning fever, he held his head. He picked up his phone and dialed Isabel's number."I need you in the office, the air conditioner is killing me in the cold." he said.Isabel wasted no time in going straight to Gideon's office. She found the remote and quickly turned off the air conditioner. She came closer to caress Gideon's forehead."My God, Gideon, you're on fire; we need to call a doctor," she worriedly said.Gideon gave a nod. "I called Dr. Jace to check on me; he'll be here soon, my love; don't worry."Isabel blushed. Gideon addressed her as "my love" for the first time. She stroked Gideon's cheek as they w
