I feel like I've lost myself while sitting here at the back of the jeepney. I'm currently on my way to the restaurant. I'm still holding onto the handle, but I'm lost in thought. Until now, I can't believe what happened between Wayne and me last night.If only I could smack my own head right now, I might have done it. But I held myself back because I'm not the only passenger right now.I just hope that the people in front of me don't notice my flushed face. I can feel my cheeks burning, especially since I vividly remember everything that happened after what happened in the car.I felt like I was dozing off already just from Wayne's embrace as he carried me towards my room. It was only when he gently laid me on the soft bed that I slightly jolted awake.I could hear his faint, somewhat hoarse voice whisper to me, "Just sleep tight, I'll clean you."At that moment, I didn't quite understand what he meant. I just saw his back as he walked into my bathroom. My eyelids closed on their own

My morning began with a surge of irritation as I woke up early, preparing for my day at the restaurant. I practically tossed the comb I was using onto my vanity table. The annoyance from last night still lingered within me. It wasn't because things didn't go as planned between Wayne and me, but rather, it was because I had come to realize who called him last night.No wonder that name seemed so familiar. I couldn't afford to be mistaken; she was the snobbish woman from the charity ball. She was the one accompanying Wayne on the night that became the reason why Wayne denied me."Argh! This is infuriating! If only I had known sooner that it was her... then maybe I would have found a way to stop Wayne from leaving last night," I muttered to myself.I sighed deeply and decided it was time to leave my room. I couldn't afford to be late for the restaurant, not with all this anger simmering inside me.As I descended the stairs, I automatically stopped in my tracks upon seeing Ya

The days passed swiftly. It's Sunday now, and I'm just walking home. It's only five in the afternoon, so I decided to walk instead of taking a ride. I wanted to save my hard-earned money. I didn't want to spend the entirety of my week's salary so carelessly.This is my last paycheck from the restaurant, so I need to be frugal. I've already bid farewell to Ma'am Sammie. I felt a bit embarrassed because I didn't last long at my job, and Pio only recommended me, but I have no choice but to fulfill the promise I made to Wayne.It's just sad because I know deep down that I'm capable of my job. It's tiring, yes, but isn't every job demanding in its own way? I also felt bad about suddenly resigning and leaving my co-workers. I had become close to them, especially Yuki, whom I considered like a younger sibling.But, as I mentioned, there's nothing more I can do. I've said yes to Wayne. Here I am, following what he wants.Speaking of Wayne... the past days between us have been quite pleasant.
