Semua Bab Accidental Surrogate For My Bestfriend's Brother : Bab 11 - Bab 20

~Selina~I just got a confirmation email from the bar job I applied for. I have been accepted, but that's not the shocking part. They needed me to resume tonight because a tycoon is coming for his pre-engagement celebration.Woah!! That's sudden and huge. The interesting thing is that they are willing to triple the pay for tonight. I quickly accepted the offer and took a quick nap the moment we got home.“Wake me by 6pm; I need to resume for an overnight work. I will get back by midnight,” I informed Aria, shifting around for a comfortable position to sleep.Aria looked too shocked to speak. I tossed around while pretending to have fallen asleep quickly. Had it been I didn't do that? She would have lectured me or probably even offered to give me money.I fell asleep shortly after, and when it was 6 'o'clock on the dot, I was woken by the alarm. I rushed a quick shower, wore a knee-length dress, and then I bade Aria goodbye.I arrived at the bar shortly after. I went to the manager's o

~Selina~Vicky stood in front of me with an evil grin, “Oops, look who we have here?” I winced, staring at her with pity. Vicky has leaned down a lot; we used to be best of friends when we were in guitar school, but somehow, things changed.The guy she was madly in love with turned out to have a massive crush on me. She overheard when the guy asked me out, and that short moment forever ended our friendship.“Hi, Vicky.” I swallowed the saliva that gathered in my throat. Vicky gave me a disgusted look and stretched her hand forward.“Hand that brat over to me.” I stared down at the cute girl looking at me with bulgy ocean eyes. Her eyes were silently pleading with me, and I don't know why, but I felt drawn towards her.I pulled the girl closer to my lap and returned a fiery look back to Vicky. “What is your relationship with her? Why are you scaring her?”Her face twisted in anger, she dramatically placed her right hand on her waist while her second hand was pointing a warning finger

~Selina~I panicked and stared at Ethan, hoping he could come up with a convincing statement. Aria stared between us before she dropped the fruit bag in her hand and walked up to me. I anxiously rubbed my hand over my dress as I expectantly waited for her to lash or probably curse at me but to my surprise, she gently held my hand;“Did he trouble you? Oh my God! Why did you look so pale? You probably need more rest, “Aria calmly petted me while she gave her brother a fierce gaze.“The doctor obviously said she needed to rest her ankle, why are you troubling her? She has never even met you before, why should you scare her like that?” She blasted him. I glanced down at my finger, picking at my nails to hide my discomfort.How did she jump into an assumption that I just met her brother? The only truth there was that I never knew Ethan was her brother.I sighed and changed from my sitting position to a Laying position, Ethan's gaze fixed on me as his lips curved up into a smirk.“Do you

~Selina~My heart wrenched into a bottomless pit; my gaze didn't leave the door even though Ethan's assistant was long gone.I was dumped into shock, confusion, and the biggest thing I felt was guilt. Guilt that I didn't know what my kids looked like, the guilt that I even pushed their father away, and the guilt that I wasn't there for them while they were growing up.I dipped my head into the pillow and burst into a long round of tears. Aria entered and met me sulking; she was shocked to meet me in such a bad mood.She threw her bag to the side and sat beside me. “What is wrong? Is everything alright?”I quietly lifted my head from the sheet, and the moment Aria saw my red face, she screamed. “WHAT THE FUCK? What happened to you? Have you been crying for so long?”I sniffed and wiped my red nose.I didn't answer her, rather I went straight to the bathroom and rinsed my face with water. I glanced out through the window and realized that I have laid down for a long time.The sun had se

~Selina~Dawin insisted that I have a coffee with him, but I denied with the excuse that I was working. He requested another way for me to make it up to him, and that was when he suggested that I give him my contact.I wanted to reject him, not only because I didn't want to involve myself in any drama in Las Vegas but also because I didn't want to be too familiar with a stranger. “Don't worry, it will just be a casual evening hangout at a café; that will be your way of paying me back for helping you,” he jokingly said, grinning with a genuine smile on his face, his white teeth shone with the bright chandelier. His aura was very friendly that I couldn't even refuse him.I sighed before I agreed to hand over my contact to him; he took the paper from me, thanked me, and promised to reach out to me very soon.After that, he returned back to his seat like nothing happened, I shrugged and left to finish my day's work. Evening came quickly and it was finally time to end my shift, I clocked
