Chapter 111. What Was That?

Gwen POVAfter the initial astonishment, my eyes were glued on Damian Olson’s frame. I took in his appearance. He looked a little scruffy. His face had grown longer than it used to, and he has a day-old beard. He still resembled Damon, but his look had more character. He looked rugged and very very attractive. Seeing him again comforted me, just as before. I expected awkwardness, but felt none.Jo looked like she did not know what to do. Damian’s presence caught her off guard. Her eyes darted to the sides.I, on the other hand, did not know how to confront my feelings. How am I suddenly feeling like this? Until now, I hadn’t settled my feelings for him, but one thing is sure: I don’t hate him. Not anymore. I used to.I felt that he meddled too much in my life, which was why things had gone awry, but I also realized that Damian only showed me an option. It was my choice to take it.“I asked you a question, miss?” Damian said in a low voice, attracting my curiosity. My head automati

Chapter 112. Healing Needs Time

Jo POVI looked at Gwen’s tiny frame. No doubt about it, she was beautiful, but she was frail. Not just physically, but also emotionally.The first time I saw her, she looked like the world turned its back on her. I saw a heartbroken girl with very beautiful brown eyes, brimming with a sorrow she did not know how to deal with.I thought she was mourning the collapse of her marriage. I had this belief that she was thrown out by her husband’s family to avoid scandal, and I felt sorry for her. A typical poor girl-rich boy romance that met too many detractors along the way.Honestly, I felt sorry for her.Right then and there, I resolved that what she needed were friends to make her transition in a new environment easier.I was surprised to note that Gwen was not very hard to get along with. Despite the pain that seemed to envelop her whole being, I could feel her genuine desire to learn the ropes of delivering the news to the public.She was a hard worker. She did not think that a job

Chapter 113. Who Should Go?

Gwen POVI walked inside the newsroom, feeling self-conscious. I was gone for a week, and expected people to ask where I had been.Surprisingly, no one asked. It puzzled me that no one even noticed my arrival. I was not expecting a grand entrance, but I was also not expecting silence. I shrugged and grinned inwardly. It was business as usual.Everyone’s busy.I passed by Nick’s desk. He smiled when our eyes connected.“Are you alright?” There was concern in his voice.I remembered what happened yesterday and felt awkwardness suffusing my being. Nick’s smart. I knew that he had already figured out that I had a connection with the Olsons, but he never mentioned it today.What I can see in his expression is genuine concern.I nodded and assured him that I was fine.“Jo and another temp I hired took most of your work. We don’t have any backlogs. You can continue checking your to-do tray for the list of tasks that you need to accomplish today. Also, make sure that the interview schedules a

Chapter 114. No Turning Back

Gwen POV“I told you, my job here is temporary. My life is not here. It was somewhere else. I can leave anytime.”I really do not know what came over me. A sharp sadness pierced through me, and an ache squeezed my chest as if I had been stabbed. My hands trembled, betraying my effort to appear composed.“Are you leaving already? Is this why you called me here?” I asked breathlessly.Damian sighed.“Mason told me that he was helping you with your divorce.”I was surprised, my eyebrows lifting in shock. It had not crossed my mind that Damian might know about it. But now that I thought about it, Mason was his friend, and I realized they seemed close—close enough that they might keep little from each other. A quiet acceptance settled over me. Of course, Damian would know.Mason Granger would not act out on his own. Then realization dawned. Damian must have forced him into it. Or if he was not forced, at least, I was sure the idea did not come from Mason himself.“Was it your idea?” I aske

Chapter 115. Turned Down

Gwen POVThe elevator ride going back to my floor seemed too fast for my taste. Or maybe because I was too preoccupied with the things that Damian said.He will be leaving soon. My head screamed the words.The news caught me by surprise. I really thought that he would be working in the family business, that's why he came here. But it seemed that he was not going to. The time he spent at Cadillac City and now here is only momentary.He had a life overseas. Somewhere far. And he will be going back to it soon.I sighed and saw my reflection from the elevator’s gleaming steel door.Tears still clung to my lashes, and my eyes were a bit puffy. When the elevator opened, I hurriedly stepped out and passed by the newsroom to go to the women’s washroom.The place was empty when I got in.Immediately, I went to the sink, opened the faucet, and splashed water on my face several times before rubbing it gently with my palm. When I lifted my head a little, I caught sight of the paper towel dispense

Chapter 116. One Step Closer

Gwen POVJo directed her mischievous grin at me. She was looking at me playfully, but beneath the smile, her eyes glimmered with awe, and that was a bit disconcerting.I had often faced ridicule in the past. People judged me because of my relationship with Damon. If Jo felt the same, her eyes wouldn’t shine with so much joy.But I can’t share the happiness. I had to be more objective and honest.I was still a nobody. Just because an Olson married me does not mean that I was different.I am still me. The Olson name did nothing to elevate my value because I haven’t proven anything.I was still a college dropout. Yes, I am working to rectify that. I already enrolled in an online class to finish my program, but I still have a long way to go.I stared at Jo. At the honesty and openness in her expression.I wanted to divulge that I will not be an Olson for long. I already filed for a divorce, but that would mean explaining certain things that I am not yet ready to.“Can we drop the subject,

Chapter 117. This is War

Gwen POVI watched Jo’s retreating figure as she went on her way. Then, I stood in front of our office’s door, tapped my ID badge on the card reader, and opened the door to let myself in.Surprisingly, the newsroom was still empty when I walked in. It was unusual. Most of the time, the reporters were so busy that they stayed glued to their desks to finish their reports.I figured there must be a first time for everything. I was thinking maybe my co-workers chose this day to go out for lunch. I looked at the clock. It was still break time for many.Even Nick was absent from his desk. I remembered what we had talked about earlier, and how we parted, sighing.I was thinking about what to do with him. Should I stay or should I maintain the status quo? I kept arguing with myself that I only turned him down romantically, but I did not turn him down as a potential friend.I shook my head and stared longer at the empty desk before I proceeded to my cubicle. I grabbed the back of my chair and

Chapter 118. Friends

Gwen POVAfter Monique left, my body trembled uncontrollably, my breathing ragged. The shock of our encounter had left me shaken.I pulled my chair and sat down, cupping the top of my head to my temples while my elbows were propped on my desk.The incident gnawed at me, leaving a heavy weight on my chest.I really did not know why she was warning me off Nick. The only explanation I can find is that she likes him for herself. I racked my brain, thinking of an incident in the past where Nick showed any interest in her, but I couldn’t find anything in my meager memory stash.Nick was always polite and nice to everyone, even me. I did not have any inkling that he liked me.Did she like Nick before? But she told me earlier that Nick had just come out of a long-term committed relationship. I thought the warning was for me to be careful around Nick, but now, it becomes glaringly significant that she was warning me off him because she did not want me to take an interest in our news director.

Chapter 119. Something Wrong

Gwen POVI heard the sound of a throat clearing, and my hand that Nick was holding froze mid-air. Even my body went stiff.I was half-expecting Monique to make a scene. Her warning from earlier still rings in my head, a quiet echo that I can’t quite shake.But then, I heard the sound of heavy footsteps indicating that whoever was approaching Nick’s table was not a woman, but a man.Nervously, I pulled my hand from Nick’s hold and pivoted on my heels, feeling an electric shock coursing through my body the moment my eyes collided with Damian.His sharp eyes were locked on me. Startled by the annoyed look on his face, I nervously flattened my hair.My eyes squinted

Chapter 120. Watch Me Leave

Gwen POVThe moment Damian ordered my transfer, the whole newsroom became silent, and only the hum of the air conditioner was heard.It seemed to me as if time stopped, and I was in the middle of it.My body froze. I really did not know what game Damian was playing. Was he trying to give hints about our relationship?My cheeks blushed when I realized that we do not have any apart from the fake one we have right now.Still, choosing me and the familiar way he touched me was not something that my co-workers at the newsroom would take lightly.Was he sparking another Genna scenario? Did he not learn what envy can do to anyone, even those who just wanted to work hard?
