Early in the morning, Cassius heard a knock on his new condo unit. When he opened the door, he saw his younger cousin, Zion.“Hi! Good morning!” Zion greeted with enthusiasm. “Would you like to join me for breakfast? I cooked pancakes!”“No thanks,” Cassius declined then closed the door.After a few minutes, Zion came again with a knock.Tok tok~ Cassius opened the door and stared at him.“Hey, do you want to come with me in the company? I can tour you,” he offered.“No. I don’t want.”After declining, Cassius closed the door again.Another few minutes later, the stubborn guy came back.Tok tok~ “I don’t think you have any plans today. Aren’t you bored? Do you want to go play outside later?”“I am not bored.”The scenario keeps repeating and repeating for almost ten times. Cassius is getting annoyed at his irritating cousin who doesn’t know how to give. Isn’t Zion always like that when he was young? However, even if Cassius hates him coming back and forth, he could not help it but o

Harriet’s POV When Zion and I arrived at the company, I tour him around the building to help him organize his work. We walked inside the advertising team. As soon as the employees saw Zion, they all stood up to greet him. All of their face brightened as soon as they saw the handsome Zion, who is the grandchild of the chairman.The director of the team came to us with a huge smile on his lips.“Ohhh, so glad to have you here, Director Zion,” he greeted.I stood between them and about to introduce the advertising director’s name. But before I could, Zion already offered his hand for a handshake and greeted him back.“Nice to meet you, director Jules. It feel so good to meet you here too. As well as our pretty and hardworking employees,” Zion said before he tended to the curious employees. Then he smiled at them.“It’s a pleasure,” Jules chuckled. He looked behind his team and asked them, “What are you doing? Greet the director too.”One by one, the employees walked towards Zion side.

I came back inside my room after a long and tiring work. ‘Yes. Being with Zion all day tired me out.’ This is the wish that I had before. I wonder what made me wish something like this? “It is because I like him.” Sighing, I laid down on my bed and stared at the ceiling for a long time. Each day felt so long. However, I was only preparing for things that will about to happen in the future. I can’t get tired easily. “The party is near.” I closed my eyes, resting them for a bit. For Finn and Sherly, that day will be the start of Cassius’ regret for coming back. But for me, it will be the day I will move out of this mansion. “You can’t fall asleep, Harriet,” I told to myself. “Go and wash your face.” Even though my mind says that I should go up and remove my make up, my body isn’t moving. This is the main reason why I hated putting make up before. Because removing it at the end of the day is really tiring. As I was about to enter the abyss, I remembered something that woke me u

Third Person’s POV The sun dies, spreading crimson color in the sky, which isn’t a tea that burns on lips but a vodka scorching down the throat despite its sugary mixture. The elegant party holds at the spacious hall of the Fabroa mansion with high ceilings, chandeliers and dim lights. Around, there are scented candle, corks, decorated flowers, pretty platters on the long tables, cork frames, unlimited dished prepared by exclusive chefs presented on the long tables, and expensive wines served by the servants of the house. Around in the dimly lit romantically building, there are well-dressed people who are shuffling and chuckling quietly about and murmured to themselves greetings and introductions. Some has genuine smiles on their lips, while others have business-like beams, as they take this chance not to only meet the first grandson of the Fantell Firm chairman but to broaden their connection. Voices are thick in the sweet air, combining the smooth sound of the jazz and classical

Third Person’s POV Two days before the party… The three held a meeting inside Cassius Condo.Sitting on the center couch, Zion is smiling widely while looking alternately at Cassius and Harriet. He felt happy that he now belongs to group because he reconciled with Cassius and he found out his secret.Meanwhile, Cassius was crossing his arms when he tilted his head and opened his mouth.“I can see the need to talk. But why it had to be in my house?”Zion hurried and gave his reply. “Well, if you are not comfortable, we can come in my house instead and have a meeting there.”At Zion’s suggestion, Cassius shut his eyes and bit his lower lip. His expression obviously showed how much he despised the idea of staying inside other people’s house. He would rather let Zion sit on the couch and clean that spot, instead of going in Zion’s place. He felt like all dirt will stick in his body once he entered Zion’s condo. Although Zion is also a clean freak, Cassius still can’t bear sharing things
