The next day, Lily was on the lookout for Cedrik. The moment she saw him near the elevators, she approached him. For some reason, she’s surprised she hasn’t encountered his twin yet. Even with that knowledge, she’s somehow sure that this one is Cedrik. Not the asshat.She’s now familiar with his demeanor and facial expressions.“Hi.”He looked surprised to see her.“Uh, hi.” His reply was hesitant and it’s clear from his face that he’s not expecting this.She noticed him touching the bridge of his nose and she’s even more sure that it’s him.“I’m sorry about yesterday. It was a misunderstanding.” She went directly to the point and apologized.He frowned as he finally looked at her, seemingly asking her to explain further.“My friend encountered your… uh, brother and thought he was you. I mean, I was doubtful that she was talking about you but when I showed her a photo of you, she confirmed that it was you. I didn’t know you have a twin. I only heard about it yesterday around noon. I’v

Well, Mel was unable to give him a proper reply. She didn’t say yes. She told him how her guardian at home is quite strict. She emphasized she’s not joking when he showed a disbelieving expression.“I’m serious. I have a curfew. I have to be home early every day.”Randall’s lip twitched. He couldn’t tell if she’s telling the truth or not. If this is her way of turning him down, it’s quite unique.“You said your guardian? Not your parents? What kind of guardian gives a curfew to someone of age, already working and earning her own money?”“I know, right? Well, I haven’t been responsible previously. This is my first job. I wasted enough money before I learned to work. I’m still under observation, whether I can live on my own or not.”“What kind of situation is that?”Mel chuckled. She’s not about to give away too much information.“Maybe a quick dinner. Or I’ll let you know when he’s out of town. I can usually stay out when he’s not around.” She wanted to close the conversation here.“Is

She might be weak, but she managed to play along with him. She couldn’t push him off so she lay there and reached for his erection. She can’t knee him in her position, so she chose to do what’s available to her. She tightened her grip on that freaking meat, squeezing as hard as she could. When he moved away from her, grimacing in pain, her heart thudded as she hit him by the groin. She wanted to return his smirk but she felt more urgency in leaving this place.Mel fixed her clothing before picking up her bag and shoes. She decked him on the side of his head on her way out. She heard him groan and she couldn’t be sure if her heels hit him or her bag did. She doesn’t care!She ran two streets before taking her phone out and booking a cab. She wore her shoes as she kept looking back. Looks like he doesn’t intend to follow her out.Damn bastard. What a fake! She can’t believe she fell for his deception. She thought she’s good at discerning people. You can’t really be sure of this world an

Office politics would be easier to handle in a small company, though. In her previous job, the divisions were apparent. People talk behind other people’s backs. One department would have a rift with other departments. And as part of that department, you ought to show your support and agree with the thoughts of your colleagues. It was such a hassle.Over the next few days, she mulled this over and she let Klyde listen to her thought process.“So, what do you think?” She asked him, once again waiting at his study for him to finish some work. Why does this man come home on time when he’s going to keep working here? He could’ve stayed at his office for overtime.She finally asked him tonight but he didn’t bother answering her.Rolling her eyes at him and turning away, she opened an app on her phone to read. She finds reading stories is less boring than reference books. She only likes short ones, though. She doesn’t have the patience to read full-length novels. Not even a novella. She want

Melissa simply smiled at him and shrugged. It was a silly thing. Most likely, only a naïve person like her would wish for it.They enjoyed the food and the cake. When they were done, she quickly picked a few balloons and pricked them with a needle. Oh, boy. The look of irritation on his face is priceless. Bursting them produced very loud sounds. Given how he’s used to a quiet working environment, she’s really testing his patience. He warned her with a glare before leaving with a shake of his head.She grinned, nonetheless. His reaction was good enough. She took a couple of balloons to bring on his study.When he faced her and noticed her suspicious movements, he warned, “I swear if you burst those balloons here, I’m not giving you your gift.”She was grinning in mischief and took a while to process his words. Her eyes widened, “Oh, you have a gift for me?”She suddenly became excited and threw the ball
