Isabelle’s POV I had trouble sleeping for nearly two days because of Jericko's wink the other night. And since I woke up around noon again, I decided not to go to work today. I texted my boss to let him know I'll be working from home. I'm currently enjoying brunch and will begin working later. I'm not sure why what Jericko did keeps running through my head. My cell phone rang as I was daydreaming. I answer the phone and see that Jena is the caller. I took her call and said, "Good morning." "Isabelle, what is good in the morning?" she answered. "Why don't you report to work?” “I'm sorry Jena, but recently I've been experiencing trouble sleeping. I woke up at noon.” "What kept you from sleeping, exactly?" she inquired. I took a brief break since I couldn't tell Jena that Jericko was the reason. “Are you still there, Isabelle? Why are you unable to respond to my question? Don’t tell me that the guy in the bar is the reason again!” “Huh? Jena, I'll call you again later. I said, "

The start of my office work is at 8 a.m., but it's already 7 a.m.When I got to the office, Jayson and Jena were already there. As I sit in my cubicle, they are giving me a weird look.“Why do you look at me like that?” I asked them.Jayson came into my cubicle and said. “Who is the handsome guy that you were talking to last night?”“Handsome guy? What are you talking about?” I denied it, saying, "I can't remember chatting to a handsome person last night.Jayson sat next to me and said, "Don't deny it Isabelle, Jena and I could clearly see that you were chatting to a lovely man last night.” Although I was too wasted last night, I couldn't help but think of Jericko's lovely face.

Jericko’s POVI'm currently enjoying a peaceful cup of coffee at the hotel café. My friends haven’t shown up yet; perhaps they drank too much last night and are still asleep. Because when I joined Gino and Clyde on the dance floor last night, I just said goodbye to them and went back to the hotel.It's a good thing my coffee cup wasn't totally full because it might have spilled on me while I was in the middle of sipping it when someone unexpectedly pushed me in the back.Charlie snorted, "Hey Jericko, where did you go last night, huh? Why did you just disappear like a bubble?"If my friend Charlie snorted, you'd think his fiancée had abandoned him in the pouring rain."What's missing? You are the ones who suddenly disappeared from our place," I responded angrily.He sat next to me and drank some of my coffee as well.I grabbed the coffee cup and exclaimed, "Hey, that's my coffee. Why don't you make an order for you?”“Really, what happened last night?” he asked.I turned to glance aro

Isabelle’s POVWhen I arrived at the club, I waited for Jena for a while. I want to get drunk myself tonight. I can’t forget the words that dad said. It’s like he stabbed me in my back. I think he is not aware of the words that are coming out of his mouth, all he wants is to control our lives. But as I said earlier, I will never imitate my siblings. I’m the one who will choose whom I will marry. I lit the only cigarette in my car as I waited for Jena. I only smoke when I'm under stress. After a few puffs of cigarettes, Jena came."Isabelle, why are you smoking again? "She questioned."My father is making me anxious and angry.” I responded by saying with a tear in my eye, "I feel like he never treats me as his daughter.”From my side, Jena hugged me. “Isabelle, don't worry; I'm here to help you with your problem. You can count on me at any time, so don't worry.”"Jena, I thank you for constantly being at my side. Maybe I would have lost my mind if you and Jayson hadn't been by my side
