Miles glanced at May for the umpteenth time, unable to concentrate on work no matter how much he tried to. Having this woman around him had become a therapy he never knew he needed all these years. She was everything cute, his peace of mind lies in her. She was everything he ever wanted in a woman."Am I just going to sit here and do nothing?" May asked, pulling him back to reality, and he turned his face away."Yes. You can take a walk around if you become bored," He replied to her, and she briefly sighed. This was no different from staying in that boring house all day."You don't have any files you want to sort out?" She asked as she stood from the sofa where she was seated, and went to sit on the chair across from him."I can help with that," She further said."No, I don't. If you are bored, you can take a walk around the company," He replied to her, and she nodded. Silence crept into the atmosphere and Miles was busy working that he didn't spare her a glance. He was doing his bes

Lily was so impressed with the lady staring right back at her from the mirror. It was her reflection."I think this is perfect," She muttered as she smacked her lips together after she applied lip gloss. It wasn't her first day resuming work at the hospital, but Miguel was around now and she couldn't afford to look like a mess when going to see her."One more thing," She muttered when she recalled she hadn't worn her perfume yet. Just as she reached for her perfume, her phone started ringing, so she went for her phone first. It was one of her colleagues calling her."Why the disturb this early morning?" She rolled her eyes after she answered the call."Lily, there is an emergency at the hospital. You need to hurry down here to assist Doctor Miguel," Came her colleague's masculine voice."Alright. I'll be there shortly," The call disconnected afterward. Lily didn't have time to spray her perfume again because the life of the patient at the hospital was more important than any other thi

Maybelline Walter POV"Liam!" I called surprisingly after I straightened my back and took a step away from him."May?" He called again with a shocked expression on his face. I guess he was as shocked as I was. Liam and I were classmates back in college. We were not just regular classmates, but quite close that you could call us friends. I had a secret crush on him. I mean, who wouldn't crush on the most handsome dude in the whole college?During our third year in college, Liam won an award in school as the most handsome and neatly dressed dude in school. You can imagine the amount of hate and love it must've brought him then, yeah? His handsome face and sharp brain was the only thing he needed to attract ladies to himself and of course, I was not an exemption then, but I had to hold back because he was in a relationship then. We haven't seen each other since graduation from college, and, shockingly, we bumped into each other here."Wow! This is..." He paused and scanned me with his ey

Maybelline Walter POVI tossed on the bed for the umpteenth time, unable to sleep no matter how I forced myself to. It was already past 11pm and I was supposed to have been asleep by now, but the incident from earlier kept replaying in my head every time and I couldn't help myself.Why was he like that? I asked myself the same question yet again, but couldn't come up with the possible reason he was like that."Maybe he's in love with you," a part of me had that thought, but I was quick to dismiss the thought because I was sure that it was the last thing that could happen. No way Miles could be in love with me.Twenty minutes passed before my eyes finally became heavy, and I didn't try to fight the sleep as I had been waiting for it almost all day. I didn't sleep for long before my hurting stomach jolted me out of my deep sleep, and I tiredly sat up on the bed. My stomach grumbled, reminding me that I didn't have dinner earlier before I slept off. I just went straight to my room when

Chapter 30Waking up to May sleeping peacefully beside him was everything he needed to make him happy. A smile formed on Miles's face as he watched her sleep like the queen she was. She looked so cute when sleeping and he could only admire her.He finally got out of bed, pulled the duvet to cover her body, and left for the bathroom. After he washed his face, he left the room for the kitchen. Miles heard the sound of water splashing in the kitchen as he descended the staircase minutes later, and he paused. Adelie was not around, so who could be in the kitchen?He proceeded into the kitchen, regardless, and was stunned to find Miguel washing the dishes."It's you? When did you get home?" Miles could still remember that he went to bed around 4am and Miguel was not home at that time, so how come he was there now?"I returned at 4:30am," Miguel glanced at him, and he nodded."You barely have time for yourself after you started working in the hospital. This career of yours is really killi
