MasukThe 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

Day passed. After my interaction with Stephanie, I busied myself with the preparation for my incoming fashion show, and I didn’t hear anything from her, which was good. She was crazy. Did fame eat her? Or was she just after Arzhel? Speaking of Arzhel, I didn’t hear from him after we came back. We
When I arrived, she was already there, sitting and sipping her tea. She flashed her signature fake sweet smile. I couldn’t believe I once believed that those smiles were genuine. I just rolled my eyes and sat down. I put my phone on the table, facing backward. “What do you want, and why do y
“Noooooo!” I shouted under the pillow while shaking my head. I heard the door unlock. I immediately ran to the bathroom to take a bath and run away from Arzhel. I looked at myself in the mirror. “You’re so dead now, Lia!” I whispered, embarrassed and irritated. I stayed in the bathroom for one
Instead of listening, I faced him. I held his chest. I saw him gulp. My eyes went to his Adam’s apple. I touched it. My body was suddenly burning with desire too. I did not know if it was the effect of alcohol or him, or maybe both. I looked at him in the eyes. My gaze went down to his lips. My o
