Leo and Neo put their eyes down as I threw glowers at them. If they had been more careful, I wouldn't have had an accident. Also, I wouldn't have been helped by someone like Seth. Only because of that one thing Seth had done for me, I got teased by him while we had been working together at his office.  "I could've died!" I snarled.  "We're so sorry," Neo apologized for the one hundredth time.  "You both should leave here now. If this happens next time, I'll slaughter your heads, and send it to an abattoir." Erin shook her head at me. "Calm down, okay?" "Leave now," I ordered. Saying that, they both turned around, left here.  Immediately they shut the door behind them, someone knocked. I rolled my eyes before asking the person to come in. Seeing the police, I stood up, walked to them even before they reached me.  "

Rachel who had forced me to come out here with Seth, wasn't even here. Halfway here, her mom had called her over the phone, saying she was sick. Rachel had been so worried, so I had asked her to leave to go and meet her mom.  I glimpsed at Seth. To be honest, I had a great feeling this man wanted something from me. Some of his workers had informed me that the great Seth Lee never did anything without gaining from it. Did he really wanna… hookup? If that was it, he had to know he was only daydreaming.  "Am I that cute?" He smiled. Oops, I hadn't known I had been staring at him.  I looked away, but my eyes caught him gazing at me from the rear-view mirror. Shit, he would have seen me staring at him.  "Cute my butt," I choked out.  "Well, if you don't say the truth, I'll tell you the truth." There he went. Babbling. "To me, you're cute." 

I shook my head crazily, really confused. "No, no, no. That can't be possible. This rumor is fake. We can't be tagged as a couple." "Don't know how it happened." She shrugged. She walked to my kitchen counter, kept her purse on it. Taking a glass, she got herself an orange drink from the fridge, sat on one of the high stools by the counter. "But ma'am, I think it's a nice idea. We should use this as an opportunity to begin working with them." "No." I sipped from my coffee, sighed cause I enjoyed its nice taste. "You know I don't like using stuff like that to achieve my aim. I'm an independent woman. Using our fake relationship as an opportunity to get the offer, isn't nice. And, if Seth knows about it, he'll tease me." "Ms. Warren." She dropped her glass on the counter, walked to me, her face wrinkled like a pitiful puppy. I'd say she was being dramatic. "Please, go with Seth. It's not like you're taking advantage of the

Louella•••••••••• I quivered as I froze in my tracks. I turned around, and that feeling of someone or something attacking me rambled back in my head. I really hated this. Whoever had locked me in here, was going to pay for it. I knew I shouldn't have come here alone.  I gulped in a painful lump, shut my eyes tight. My fingers trembled, shaking like a wrong impulse had travelled through me. My legs were also starting to turn weak, proof that I'd fall to the floor soon. The groan, the hard and painful one, jerked out of my throat. This pain was as if I was turning into a monster.  Sweat profusely seeped on my forehead. The moment I shut my eyes tighter, those sad nights came back haunting my head. The night I had almost been raped, the night mom and I were sent out of the house, the night I had had an accident. 

Seth•••••• Celina stared blankly at me as she sat by the other side of my table, probably wondering what was going on in my mind. Well, I couldn't tell her I was thinking about Louella, could I? It was weird, and totally dumb, but I found myself thinking about her in the last few days. After the morning Louella and I had made a deal to become friends, yes, we had truly become friends. Well, not very close friends. Practically, not as close as Jerome and I. But we were friends. Good friends.  "What the heck is with you?" Celina finally stopped staring at me. She grabbed the coffee mug in front of her, sipped from it. "You've been smiling like a pig since God-knows-when. What's up?" I chuckled. "Not a big deal. Was only thinking about… something." "Or someone?" She wore a stern look. Her voice came
