Shane's POV
The guy looks irritated, but he didn’t argue back.
"Worthless son of a bitch," I mumbled when the guy scurried away.
I slowly turned my head to the one who still has his arms wrapped around my waist.
His blue eyes never failed to mesmerize me. He is still as divine as ever. He narrowed his eyes and smirked when he caught me staring at his fluffy-looking lips.

SHANE'S POVI took the elevator to my office and silently wished that Erwan wasn’t there. I didn’t expect that he’ll take his words seriously. He told me he’s going to take me back from Frenzo and it’s been messing me up because he keeps on following me everywhere. I remember, back in college, he used to follow me like a dog too but that was because my father asked him to keep an eye on me in order to protect me from danger. Now, it’s too different. There’s no danger anymore and he doesn’t need to keep me safe any longer, but here he is, following me like a dog again.A sigh of relief escaped from me when I didn’t see anyone lurching in my office door.

I am used to Erwan’s sudd
The Fake Engagement Fifty-one
Shane's POVA couple of days have passed since Frenzo came, and I still heard nothing from Erwan. We are still seeing each other but not consistent as before, we watch movies, date, play cards and spent times that we could cherish and look back to, but we never once talked about what happened in my office. I thought he was going to open it up the first time we saw each other after that day, but he didn’t. It was like it didn’t really happened. He continued to act like a sweet and clingy boyfriend to me whenever no one was around but he never mentioned anything about Frenzo. Neither one of us wants to have a conversation about him, neither one of us wants to face the reality behind our little fantasy that we could still be happy.“Are you still up?” I checked the sender of the message when I picked up my phone from the bedside table upon hearing its beep.

You should go.”“No, really. I’ll just stay with you.”At the end, I was left with no choice but to attend the party with him.

Third Person's POVFrenzo sat on the chair beside his bedroom window. He can see the city lights up there, the busy street, the vehicles going to and fro, the vehicles that are always sure of what directions they should take. He remembered the man in Shane’s office. He knew who he was. He had seen him before, the guy from the bar. The guy from Shane’s past. Erwan Fuenter. He felt his chest tighten as he imagined Erwan and Shane alone in that office. He couldn’t take it. He pretended not to remember him. He pretended that he didn’t notice anything, but he knew what was happening. Fuenter is back. And now, he could feel the changes between him and Shane. She changed. She’s no longer excited whenever she talked to him. She no longer complains to him about the annoying paper works that never seems to lessen in her office. Her smile had changed. She’d been refraining from his touch.

Don’t worry, I’m going to be there on time.” I said as I searched for the key to my car in my wardrobe. “Seriously, baby Shane? Are you going to be late for this special day of your two best friends?” her voice is slightly rising but I know that she is not mad. “Love you, Oliv. Have to hang up now, bye!” I made a kissing sound on the phone and ended it. When I found the key, I grabbed my handbag and went to the garage to start my car. The beach is packed with people when I reached it, Olivia and Jase invited too many people. “Shane, finally!” a voice called out and I turned to her. It’s Liz. She is wearing the same white dress I am wearing. “Liz!” I went to her and kissed both of her cheeks before asking her Olivia’s whereabouts. “Oh, my gosh. Olivia is freaking out, she thought you
