Semua Bab I Don't Like You, Mr. Sterling: Bab 1 - Bab 10

"So, what do you say? Let's go out, beautiful." Kyle; a tall hottie with a killer smile and pretty brown hair said, standing across from Wynn.She wore a white button up shirt and tan Palazzo pants. Her black hair was neatly jelled back in a low ponytail, and her brown eyes were fixed on Kyle- dull and uninterested. She pulled out a black leather bound notebook from her bag, then flipped through the pages. "Let's see... In Jerry Maguire, Jerry said to Dorothy 'you complete me'. Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Darcy said to Elizabeth 'You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on'. When Harry Met Sally-""Hold on," Kyle cut in, realising what was happening. "Are you comparing me to movie characters?""I'm comparing you to men who set the bar." Wynn deadpanned. "You limboed under it.""These men are *fictional*. They were written to be perfect."Wynn scoffed. "If you think the bare minimum is perfect, then that says

The door burst open, revealing a woman in her mid fifties with short brown hair. She was adorned in diamonds and her eyes held a disdainful stare that any condescending rich woman would have. The woman's brown eyes fell on Wynn, eyeing her from top to bottom. [Don't let me poke your eyes, madam.] Wynn snapped, eyeing her back. The woman strutted off without another glance, and Wynn rolled her eyes. She looked at the door, hesitant to knock. Letting out a sigh, she knocked and walked in. Ethan had his back turned to her as he quickly put on a nose mask. He turned around, and she could see a little of the imprint the woman left on him peeking from behind the black mask."Wynn?"Wynn felt her self-control crack like a piñata at a toddler’s birthday party.[Did this jerk just call me by my name?]"You're just the person I wanted to see." He added, smiling behind the mask. [Should I just rip his tongue out?] Wynn battled internally. She maintained the curt smile on her face, then pl

Lauren hurled the bottle of wine at Ethan, and he dodged it. It hit the wall with a loud crash and shattered to the floor. Ethan looked back at the mess, then turned to Lauren. "If you're done, I'll be on my way."He walked away without waiting for a response, and Lauren's enraged scream ushered him out. He got in his car and drove off, clutching the wheels till his knuckles turned white. The air around him grew stuffy, and he pulled over at a near empty bridge. Running out of the car like it was on fire, Ethan let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. His breathing was rough, and his throat stung from unshed tears. [I want to see her.] He thought, clutching his hands together. [I miss you, Wynn.]•••"Commence the next phase of the Colham City Airport." Ethan ordered, handing the file over to Wynn. She didn't have on her infamous curt smile, instead, she held a frown- unable to muster a fake smile. "Miss Mayfield." Ethan called just as she turned to leave, and she stoppe

"I am...your first love?"At that moment, the Waiter knocked, then entered with their appetizers. He looked between a kneeling Ethan -who didn't budge from his position- and Wynn who looked like she was about to rain down hell. He awkwardly dropped the plates on their side of the table, his steps echoing in the silence of the room, then he hurried out. Wynn scoffed. Then she broke into a chuckle, and soon, a laugh. Once again, Ethan Sterling had managed to leave her speechless with yet another good joke. She ran her fingers through her hair- ruffling it in the process, then placed her hand on her hip. "What on earth am I supposed to do with you?" She chuckled bitterly. Ethan simply remained still, watching her frantic movements. Wynn was in her own world- her thoughts swirling in her mind like the contents of a powerful blender, mixing and grinding away in a loud, agitating sound. And she whipped around to face him, her nose flared in anger. "Are you kidding me?! Are you seri

"This is.." Wynn started, her jaw hanging low as she gawked at the number of plated food and drinks on his dining table, "This is a feast."Ethan pulled out a seat for her, and she reluctantly sat down. She watched him dim the lights and light the candles on the table. Then, he sat across from her, popped the wine open and poured some for her in a glass. Wynn shot him a deadpan look, "What makes you think a candlelight dinner is part of my list?""I don't, I just wanted to cook you dinner.""And where are the other twenty guests?""What twenty guests?" Ethan blinked. "Do you seriously think I'm hungry enough to eat *all* of this?""I did go a little overboard," He chuckled. "Oh, speaking of a candlelight dinner and the list, I'll need a copy of your list and your phone number.""Okay for the list, and you just lost a point there.""You're keeping score?!""You're not?" She arched her brows, "how would we know the results?""I'm thinking through a change of heart? Feelings?""Don't
