Cindy was suddenly pulled into an embrace. It felt so safe, so safe just like a motherly embrace that felt so peaceful. Remembering how she had felt when on the stage with that old man's gaze on her, she broke into sobs.Elizabeth and Jonathan had to take her out of the events room in order not to interfere with the remaining bid.After taking Cindy to Jonathan's presidential suite, since he had one in every hotel that they owned, he was chased away by his mother."Mother what are you doing?" He asked his mother."What am I doing? If you had used that brain of your to bid early on her, do you think she would be in this state?" His mother asked while glaring at her stupid son."Mother, someone put up that old man to bid on Cindy. I just wanted to find out. I didn't do this intentionally, okay?""I don't care. What I know is you just hurt Cindy's pride and she's not going to forgive you so easily. Now go back there and make the even

September,15thCindy woke up in the morning and stretched her body only to realize that there was a certain load on her waist. She was surprised and almost screamed out of fear only to realize that the scent was quite familiar.She turned her head and  was met by the handsome face of her boyfriend slash her boss.When did he come? Didn't he say that he wasn't done with his work in country A? She asked herself.They had talked the other day and he told her that he still had some work and would spend more days before he could come back.She was too tired the other day that she didn't even realize when he came in. What if he was a bad guy and did something harmful to her? She couldn't help but criticize herself for sleeping like a log of wood not minding her environs. But she was actually glad that it was him.She knew she had missed him but she didn't know she had missed him so much until he appea

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back yesterday, I could've waited for you?" Cindy asked as they were having breakfast that Jonathan had prepared."That's why I didn't tell you since you needed sleep and I was going to arrive very late," if he could have told her that he was coming back, she would have waited for him, that's not what he really wanted.It was her birthday so she ought to sleep well after a whole week of hard work at the company. She seemed to be working so hard that he was even having thoughts of increasing her salary."Uh uh, you looked so tired. Have you been working so much?" She asked worriedly seeing the dark circles under his eyes. He seemed like someone who had been sleep deprived."Hmm not that much, I wanted to complete everything in the shortest time possible so I could celebrate your birthday with you. What aren't you happy to see me?" He teased."No I'm happy that you remembered my birthday I though

She walked from the audience towards the stage with her hands still stuffed with all those snacks. She could feel the looks of admiration from the people."Aaw, even with those masks on I can still see that she's a beauty.""Leave alone beauty, can you see how their hands are stuffed with a lot of things. It seems that this gentleman really loves his girlfriend,""He's carrying her gifts and she's carrying all types of snacks. They look so perfect together,"When she reached the stage, she stood behind him afraid of those eyes."Nate, why didn't you tell me you're coming up?""Didn't you want to play?"He replied and was glad that she was using him as her defence."Seems like she's the why type. Happy Birthday. The game is simple. You'll each be given two cards. A blue and a red one. The blue resembles female while red resembles the male. When a question is asked and the answer is the lady, raise the blu

Cindy finally woke up from her deep slumber and felt like her whole body has been run over by a truck. She was aching all over. What could she possibly have done to make her whole body ache that painfully? She looked around only to realize that she was in the familiar bedroom in Jonathan's apartment. She looked at the bedside table and saw a glass of water and that's when she realized that her throat felt itchy. She quickly drunk the water to ease the itching.She wasn't on the IV drip anymore since it had been already been removed by Jonathan when he had woken up earlier after a short sleep only to realize that the drip had been finished and also her fever seemed to have dropped. After seeing that she was still asleep, he had gone to his study to see the information that Martin had sent over.The bedroom door opened and Jonathan walked in a grey sweatpants and white tee. He smiled lightly at her as he walked towards her side. Seeing him walk in with a smile on h
