Se connecterThe wine arrived. I tasted it. It tasted bitter and I could even taste the alcohol in it. So I didn’t drink much. I let the two men have it. They were now talking about business. It made me happy listening to and watching them because they now looked too comfortable with each other. So far, my w
“How’s your day, princess?” Arzhel asked Arriana beside her the moment we sat. We were in a round table. The seating arrangement was me, Arzhel, Arriana, Chris, and Adrian. “It was fun, Daddy! All my classmates missed me,” Arriana happily told him. “That’s good,” Arzhel said, flashing a quick sm
Before leaving the meeting room, I composed myself first. I was looking at my mini mirror, wiping my scattered lipstick. I heard Arzhel laugh beside me. I jokingly glared at him, which only made him laugh more. “You should invest in kiss-proof lipstick,” he said. “I might kiss you often,” he sai

Two days since the renovation started, and since that almost intimate moment with Arzhel. “I’ll never understand why you had to cheat.” What he said kept appearing in my mind every once in a while. Why did he ask me that question? Does he have what-ifs too? I shook my head, as if he would feel t
I went back to my office frustrated. My aura was so cold and heavy that the people I met in the lobby hesitantly bowed and greeted me. I guessed this was the first time they saw me like this. Normally, when I’m not in the mood or stressed, I have a serious face, but my aura is still calm, and whe
As far as I remembered, I only had three shots of tequila yesterday, but why was my head still hurting? Or maybe it was from the lack of sleep? I checked my phone. It was just 7:30 am.
