I was about to shove the mouthful of ice cream when a knock coming from the outside interrupted me. Before I could even say a word, the door was pushed open and outside is the owner of the office.‘Why is he knocking in his own office?’ Baffled, I watched Nicholas staring at me as he moves inside. “Did I make you wait? Where is Scott?”I shake my head. My arm that’s holding my spoon is suspended on air. “I didn’t get bored. I am actually enjoying the ice cream your secretary had prepared for me. And Scott left thirty minutes ago. He said he had somethings to attend to.” His eyes then landed at the tub of cold dessert resting on top of the table.Nicholas strides closer to me. Before I could even react or move, his lips were already sitting perfectly on my forehead. “I’m back!” He uttered the moment he inched a way from me.I didn’t know what to response or do. My eyes seem captivated by him that I couldn’t do anything but stare at the man in front of me.‘My man is completely drawn to

Nicholas “Are you still going to chase after her even after knowing that you don’t stand a chance? Emiliana is still stuck on that day. She may have been doing well but she obviously had built a wall for herself.” I heard my cousin, Scott, said. "I am even surprised that you were able to take her on a date. And have your way on her. I've heard that Ems don't usually entertain men and if she does, they couldn't even take her to a date." he added, quite amuse. I had my head lowered as I played with the bottle of beer, swirling it around. I know well what Scott said. She’s just putting up with me. With my advance and when she had enough and overwhelmed by it, she wanted out. “I am thankful for her that she gave me a chance to be able to freely touch her hand, take her on a small date. And if you asks me if I will chase her, then my reply to you is yes I will. I will still chase her. I will wait for her to completely heal. I will be the man who will be able to free her from the wall she

EmilianaOr maybe I have feelings for him?I quickly shake my head at the thought that randomly evades my mind. Impossible. It's not that long since we met each other again. How could I possibly develop such feelings in a short period of time?In order not to think of any useless and crazy thoughts again, I went back to focusing my attention on the cartoon I am watching. My ice cream had slowly melted. I stayed for another ten minutes before I decided to end the night.The following morning, I woke up at exactly 7 sharp. Like my daily routine, I started my day tidying my bed and did a little stretching to awaken my muscles and joints.I'm still 23 yet I feel like an old lady. With a back pain that sometimes annoys the hell out of me.I snatched my phone from the bedside table and dialed Maximillian’s number. It did not take a minute before the call was answered.“Good Morning, Miss Vergara.” She started the moment our call connected. Her voice sounds a bit hoarse. A proof that she is s

EmilianaFollowing Sebastian exit from the conference room, I am now seated on the chair he had occupied earlier. Facing Nicholas who watches my every move with a knitted brow and thinned-line lips.The room was well lit enough that I could not miss a single detail on his mouth gape, his tongue moving as he licked and wetted his lower lip. Feeling the shame of checking him out, I briefly lowered my gaze on my hands then moved them back to his face.“I won’t go around the bush since you have an idea why I wanted to meet with you. I heard from Valentino that you wanted to appoint me as your architect for the house that you’re planning to build in the Philippines.” I started. I stare at him as he nods his head, agreeing to what I’m saying.“That’s correct!
