Beauty barely managed to nod, her mind blank except for the overwhelming presence of him standing there, so close she could smell the faint scent of his cologne. "I-I don't mind," she breathed nervously. She could feel her cheeks burning, her body reacting to every subtle movement of his, every glance that lingered too long. Why does he have to be so close? She was barely holding it together.Bruno's lips parted as if he wanted to say something more, but then he hesitated, his gaze once again landing to her lips before pulling back up to meet her eyes. At this time, she was sure he could hear her heart pounding."Thanks again," he finally said.As he walked away, Beauty exhaled a breath she didn't realize she'd been holding. Her heart was still racing, her hands trembling slightly. She pressed a hand to her chest, trying to calm herself down. The entire interaction had left her breathless and dazed.*What just happened?*Whatever it was, she knew one thing for sure: this night was

Beauty swallowed."I... I... want to continue from where I stopped yesterday".She replied, unable to meet his eye contact, still flustered and embarrassed by the whole thing."It's okay, don't worry, go and rest, I am done with the ones I gave you to work on".He replied.*He worked ok hers while she was fast asleep?*"O...k".Beauty replied sadly about to leave then a sharp gasp, followed by a groan, stopped her.She turned and found him attempting to stop his nosebleed with a few tissues, but he was clearly struggling. The sight of him with blood trickling down made her heart race with a mixture of guilt and something else...something she didn't want to admit.She went to get the first aid box and returned to him, before Bruno could notice.Beauty was right in front of his desk."I... I can help with that," she stammered. She knew it would be risky to be that close to him, but the thought of leaving him to tend to himself felt worse. Plus, this was her fault anyway.Bruno shook h

However, Beauty didn't respond, she was sad and mad at him for no good reason. Nothing like mood swings at all, for some reason, she is still jealous because of the unknown caller. Besides, her parents traveled again, so he should keep his gifts.Bruno was quite observative, and noticed that she was not in the mood for that conversation. He simply stepped down and went into the mall. After few minutes he came with shopping bags, and he stuffed them into the back seat.The journey continued silently again and was even more awkward than before.Beauty felt stiff and uncomfortable. She didn't want to show her emotions, but it was impossible to keep the bitterness from rushing into her thoughts. And she is also acting rude towards Bruno unintentionally.She noticed the occasional glances Bruno shot her way, sensing something was off.He wasn't good with emotions or reading people...she knew that much...but it seemed even he could tell something was wrong.*You literally ignored his ques

"Beauty, you are impossible, what am I going to do? Apologize? How?"She paced the room, biting her lip, replaying the conversation over and over. But then, something came to mind.Bruno's hoodie and sweatpants!She had completely forgotten to return them. She will use it as an opportunity to apologize and thank him for the other day.Beauty drew a deep breath and looked through the door hole. She could see Bruno still there, staring at the door."I am so disappointed in myself. How can he be this gentleman? I expected him to drive away angrily. Look at him looking like a cute puppy abandoned by his owner. Does he even know that he is Bruno!"She muttered to herself.Without wasting any more time Beauty ran to her room and grabbed the hoodie and rushed outside, her heart pounding even faster now. Bruno was staring off into the distance, lost in thought. She walked up to the car window, tapping on the glass, trying to calm the storm inside her.Bruno rolled down the window, his expres

She was at her desk discussing with Jessie when she heard Maya's soft, melodic voice calling Bruno's name."Well look at that, Bruno is openly getting a love confession, such a brave little spoiled girl. I heard she is from a famous family. Now it's like a tradition of heartbreaks... No one warned her that Bruno hates public display".Jessie whispered to Beauty trying to make a joke of the situation, but Beauty was too disturbed to take it lightly.Her heart was pounding harder and harder.*Look at that tiny waist and hips, Maya is a god's work of art!*"Mr. Bruno," Maya said, her tone sweet yet confident, "I know this might be unexpected, but I can't keep these feelings to myself any longer."She took a deep breath, her cheeks tinged with a delicate blush. "I admire you so much. You're kind, intelligent, and everything I've been looking for. I just... I wanted you to know how I feel. I think .... I know I have fallen for you. I want you to give me a chance."Bruno was a bit embarras
