CRYSTAL “A drink?” I mouthed. The mention of drinking made my mouth water, I haven't had a drink in a long while..“Chicken and chips downed with beer,” I suggested, my eyes lightening up with the energy I didn't have since morning.We exited the office, clocking out for the day. The ride to the restaurant was lit and a part of me finally felt relaxed with Drake. The wall of speculation about him being a stalker that I had raised in my heart broke and I'm getting to know him as who he is. As a friend.But the question that was still heavy in my heart was why would he stalk me when he can just approach me? Why go the hard route? But then, it's not an issue for me again since I already have someone I'm in love with.We entered his car and drove off, the evening cool breeze brushing against my face, blowing my hair across my face. I relaxed letting the air wash over me as I closed my eyes but then the air was suddenly blocked.I opened my eyes to see the windscreen closed. I turned to D

CRYSTAL I expected Jaden's arrival like he said but I was so nervous that I couldn't eat lunch. A series of questions he might ask me wafted through my mind and I found myself praying that he wasn't truly on his way.It's not that I didn't want to see him but I know how he came to be, he wouldn't be happy that I didn't tell him, my boyfriend, that I was being stalked by an unknown person.“Does Jaden know all about this?” Ella said from behind as she entered my room.“I would tell him today,” I replied, staring at my phone. Ella nodded, then sat on the bed, close to me. “You will be fine, Crys. Jaden should be in the best position to protect you from this stalker,” she said and I saw some sense in what she said.“You really think so?” “Yes. You shouldn't delay in telling him,” she added.I nodded my head, preparing my mind for when Jaden would be back. Just then my phone rang but my mind was too occupied to answer the call.“Crys, why didn't you answer Jack's call?” Ella asked, her

CRYSTAL I pushed Jaden away and pretended to look for some documents on his table while Jaden cleared his throat slightly, adjusting his tie as he went behind his desk.“I can’t find the documents,boss,” I said, feigning seriousness.Maya entered the office followed by Chloe. Their gaze landed on us, staring at us skeptically “Jaden, you are here so early,” she said, walking to the middle of the office and standing in front of Jaden's desk.“Same as you. What brings you to my office so early?” Jaden asked, his brows furrowed as he shifted his focus to his iPad.“I should ask Crystal the same. How come you are here so early? The last time I remembered you are usually late,” she said, her tone a mix of amusement and inquiry.“You didn't always like it whenever I'm late or should I come late as usual again?” I answered, meeting her eyes. Her jaw twitched and I swore that her gaze could swallow me if it was possible.The room suddenly felt so tense because of Maya's intense gaze. I knew

CRYSTAL Jack's gaze glued on me as I drank the cup of water on the table. I feigned ignorance at first but I was starting to get uncomfortable.“Is there something on my face?” I asked, meeting his gaze.“Yes, you do,” Jack said, resting his chin on his hands as he leaned closer.“Where? What's on my face?” I asked,my fingers grazing my cheeks nervously.“It's beautiful. What's on your face is beautiful,” he said, still staring at me like a hawk. “What would you like to order?” I picked up the menu, searching through it and hadn't settled for something to order when Jaden's call came in again.“How about ordering for us both? I will eat what you order,” I said, nervously, already feeling uncomfortable not because of Jack but because I was getting worried that I couldn't pick Jaden's call.“Your boyfriend?” Jack asked, pouring himself the wine that was served for us.“It's nothing. I can't wait to eat what you ordered for us,” I said, changing the topic but Jack wanted to continue th
