OliviaI lifted my face from the computer screen as Mr. Cameroon walked into the clinic with his dog. A smile immediately spread across my face as I greeted them both. With enthusiasm, I crouched down to the dog's level and began petting him gently."Hey buddy, how have you been?" I cheerfully asked the furry friend, who responded with a wagging tongue and wiggling body. Mr. Cameroon stood by, a grateful smile playing on his lips."Well, he's been pretty fine. He wouldn't allow me to rest ever since he got his energy back," Mr. Cameroon shared, and I nodded in understanding. "I'm glad he is," I replied, genuinely happy to hear about the dog's progress.Mr. Cameroon's appreciative smile grew wider. "I was on my way from meeting a friend when I thought I'd stop by to check up on you. Glad you're good," he said, his kind words touching my heart."Thank you, Mr. Cameroon. Let me get you a cup of coffee," I offered, wanting to show my gratitude for his unexpected visit.But he shook his he
Logan I felt relief occupied me that I was able to sign off the deal that I have been dragging with my client for the past three weeks. Had to travel to Germany to get the deal done. As I made my way out of the airport towards the car that was waiting for me, I let out a breathe of relief. I felt like a weight has been lifted off my shoulder. At least for the coming weeks if not months, I won't have to stress over dragging with clients. What I would do is to monitor our project. My thoughts wandered off to Olivia as we stopped at the traffic and I glanced at the window seeing a restaurant. Unknowingly I found myself smiling recalling how she attacked the chicken the other night. I didn't talk to her yesterday before I left knowing she would be caught up with taking care of the clinic. And then the meeting was sudden, I didn't have time to prepare for anything. As the red light turned green, the driver ignite the engine away. Just then my phone rang with Scott's call. "I'm already b
Olivia The tension between Logan and me was palpable as we sat at the breakfast table. Each passing glance between us only intensified the nervousness that coursed through my veins. I tried my best to focus on my food, but my appetite seemed to have vanished, replaced by a swirl of emotions and unanswered questions.I couldn't help but wonder what Logan was thinking, what he felt about our unexpected closeness last night. Did he regret it? Was he as affected by it as I was? The weight of uncertainty sat heavily on my shoulders, making it difficult to carry on with our usual morning routine.Logan, too, appeared to be lost in his own thoughts. His eyes would occasionally meet mine, and for a brief moment, I caught a glimpse of longing and hesitation in his gaze. It was as if he wanted to say something, but the words remained trapped within him, concealed behind a mask of composure.I was lost in my thoughts while the family converse. I didn't expect me to involve me in their affairs.
Olivia Logan took me to a fancy yet calm restaurant just exactly how I want it. I don't desire too much crowd. A waiter approached us. "Good afternoon. What would you like to order" the young boy asked politely. "Um...""Just give us the menu. We'll let you know when we finish selecting" the young boy nodded before sauntering away. After some a minute or two, he came back with the menus."Here Sir" he passed the two menu to Logan. "So.... Let's see" Logan trailed off. I was expecting him to pass the menu to me yet he's doing another thing."What are you doing?""Ordering for us of course""Yes I know. But why are you holding both the menu to yourself?" A small smile resonate from his lips. "I'm ordering for both of us" I rolled my eyes at his remark. "How would you know what I want to eat. On top of that, how would you know the food that are supposed to be taken as a pregnant woman?" I threw the question at him Logan chuckled softly, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Well, Oli
LoganToday, like every other day, had been an overwhelming experience for me. Being a businessman in a competitive industry is no easy task. I had just finished a meeting with a client and was planning to take a brief moment of rest before my next appointment. A knock interrupted my thoughts, followed by Abigail, making her way towards my desk. I took a deep breath. "Abigail, could we take a short break? Please bring me a cup of coffee.""Of course, Sir," she replied and promptly left the office. I loosened my tie and leaned back, letting my head rest. My mind wandered to Olivia. I wondered what she was up to at the moment. I never anticipated that our lives would become entwined like this, but in some ways, I was relieved that it hadn't tarnished my reputation. At least, not yet."Young man," Brian waltzed into my office, his legs carrying him with a sense of purpose."You always know how to appear unannounced," I said, setting down the pen that seemed to have found its way into my
Olivia To be honest, I had doubted Logan's cooking abilities when he had confidently claimed to show me what he had in his culinary repertoire. But as I observed him preparing the shrimp and crabs, I couldn't help but be mesmerized by his skillful movements and the way his muscles flexed. It was like watching a professional chef on a cooking show. His voice seemed distant as he shared cooking tips, but my attention was fixated on him."Make sure the shrimp is well cooked to enhance the flavor. Unless you prefer it half done," he advised, his words barely registering as I continued to stare."Pass me the salt," he requested again. Lost in my thoughts, I reached for the jar without focusing on his specific request. His voice snapped me back to reality."I didn't say pepper. Salt. Focus!" His tone was stern, and I quickly corrected my mistake, switching the jars. "Here. You're making it sound like you're a guest on a world cooking show."As soon as the words slipped out of my mouth, I r
LoganIt was clear to me that Olivia's behavior was not solely due to the pregnancy. Her true nature seemed to be surfacing, and it made me realize that she had forgotten whose house this actually was. Closing the door behind me, I couldn't help but feel a wave of frustration. I hadn't even had the chance to review today's papers, and yet she failed to appreciate the effort I had put into getting the shrimp and crab for her. It seemed like the best course of action would be to keep my distance from her, as her presence threatened to drive me to madness.With that thought in mind, I changed out of my work attire and prepared to unwind for the night. Checking on any work-related matters seemed impossible at the moment. I reached for the last pill on my prescription and swallowed it with a sip of water. Running my hands through my hair, I felt a slight sense of relief as my nerves began to settle.These pills had become my personal therapy, allowing me to find some respite in sleep. I ha
Olivia For the life of me, my heart skipped a bit, but it wasn't someone from Logan's family who walked through the door. It's not like Logan and I are in some kind of secret relationship, although we do have a secret between us. Lisa came in with two cups of coffee, and I had completely forgotten that I had sent her to get them."Here's your sweet coffee, Mr. Logan," Lisa said, seemingly testing my patience with her emphasis on the sweetness."Thank you, Lisa," Logan replied, smiling as he raised the cup. The look they exchanged didn't sit well with me. As soon as Lisa was out of sight, I turned to Logan just as he was about to take a sip of his so-called sweet coffee."I want that," I blurted out, which wasn't what I had initially planned to say."You want what?" he asked, sounding uncertain if he had heard me correctly."Your sweet coffee.""You must be joking," he chuckled. "You have yours. And you know drinking too much sugary stuff is not good for the baby."I rolled my eyes at
