Semua Bab THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU : Bab 121 - Bab 130

Mile’s POV“Relax, Miles. It’s just a date.” I muttered under my breath after slipping the wristwatch on.I tried to look simple tonight but with Grayham’s branded sweat pants and a matching shirt, I’m not sure if that was simple enough. Diane is a wealthy girl so I needed to up my game and that’s why I’m wearing one of Grayham’s Rolex watches and Dior slippers.I looked into the mirror and then tousled my hair atop. A glance at my wristwatch showed that it was 6:30 pm. Sam was waiting in the car outside for me.Diane had texted me the address of a five-star hotel. I was expecting her to say we meet up in a private lounge or a quiet but luxurious café but then, what was I expecting from a posh girl?I breathed a sigh of relief and dashed out of the house. I’m going to do as Grandpa said. Compliment her, laugh at her jokes whether they were good or bad, ask silly questions like what her favorite color or food is, and then we eat and I tell her I had a good time then ghost her afterward

Grayham’s POVI closed my eyes, stretched my palms wide, and began to work on my breathing just as Master Lin taught me. I was seated on a mat, placed under a large tree with my eyes shut.In this monastery, one doesn’t keep track of time as there were no clocks in the rooms and one is not allowed to keep a gadget.The rising of the sun, its setting, and the atmosphere are what I’ve been using to keep track of time since I got here. I thought I wasn’t going to last a day here but look who made it to the fourth day.I inhaled and slowly exhaled. I heard footsteps clicking toward me so I opened my eyes and then straightened my legs.“Breakfast has been delivered to your room,” Master Lin said.He was a middle-aged man from China who volunteered at the monastery. Like the rest of the teachers, he was like around in yellow robes and a bald head.Master Lin also helps visitors who come here have a good time while providing basic relaxation techniques. He taught me how to keep my breathing

Grayham’s POV“Are you ready?” His little voice echoed from outside the door.“Just a second, Miles,” I responded and then slipped a T-shirt on. Then I stepped out and met the boy standing outside the door.“Let’s go,” Miles said and quickly turned around.I followed him down the corridor. Today, he’ll be taking me to the village for a walk. There was a small village around the monastery so Master Lin had suggested that I take a walk around the village.This will be the first time I’ll be stepping out in five days and thanks to little Miles, I have a tour guide.We made our way down the corridor and then went out of the building. Miles took a sharp turn the moment we walked past the gate and a few moments later, we appeared in a little village.The area wasn’t as remote as I imagined. Even though the houses were made of red bricks, there was electricity and the people relied on the spring for water supply.We got to a block of concrete and Miles stopped. “This is our supermarket. We s

Grayham’s POV“Oh, please!” I cried out and then palmed my forehead with the back of my palm.The banging on the door won’t stop and I barely had enough sleep. Or maybe I did have some sleep but I don’t think it was enough.Immediately after Miles left, I went to bed and curled up. Now, someone is knocking on the door.I thought the interior decorators were not going to be here until tomorrow morning. I sighed and dropped my legs on the floor.When I looked through the window, I noticed that the sun had already gone up. I can’t believe I slept through the next day.I stole a glance at the wall clock and quickly walked to the closet. I grabbed a T-shirt, slapped it on my bare body, and then hurried out.It was a new day and I’m sure the interior guys are here.Until all the work here is finished, the café will remain closed which means I have an extra two days to rest.I got to the entrance and then unlocked the door but to my astonishment, it wasn’t the décor guys, it was the locals.“

Mile’s POVI wouldn’t want to get into trouble with the people here. I know how defensive they can be especially since Grayham was having my face so when I noticed that their numbers were beginning to increase, I took a step back.The cab that dropped me off was already gone so I knew I had to trek to the street before getting another cab. I heaved a sigh, turned around, and started walking away.I was heading for the street when I looked into the shrubs on my right. I noticed the people chopping down the trees. I was irked by the sight but then, something else caught my attention. In the opposite direction, two young men were digging up the soil. Surrounding them were small plants. I stopped and then strode toward them. I stood a few meters away and waved.“Are you guys planting?” I demanded even though it looked like that was what they were doing.These were the kind of initiatives Grayham should endorse.After looking at me from head to toe, one of them volunteered to speak.“We wi
