MasukI touched Arzhel’s shoulder. I saw him glance at my hand. Adrian was speechless upon hearing Arzhel’s tone. He didn’t provoke him further. Instead, he took the wine and started to pour Arzhel’s wine. “I’m sorry,” Adrian said while pouring. Arzhel released a deep breath, and since my hand was on
The 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

She was mocking me. I rolled my eyes. If not Stephanie, it was her who would pester me about Arzhel. And when Veronica would stop talking to me about Arzhel, Stephanie would suddenly appear. How I hated these two immature women. I crossed my arms and lazily looked at her. “Can you spare me this
“Unbelievable,” I mouthed. “Childish,” I mouthed to her and rolled my eyes. We looked away from each other when Arzhel talked again. He passed the document in my direction. “Here’s the draft for the mortgage contract,” Arzhel said. I looked at him. My eyebrows furrowed a little because of confus
We stayed on the rooftop for 15 minutes. After I cried, we just stood there, feeling the fresh air. It helped me relax and clear my mind again. “Thank you,” I told Arzhel.
