Chapter: Chapter 16 His colleagues stormed inside the room, didn't even stop after leaving the elevator. They didn't even pause to greet Terrius!I mean, for sure, that's not a big deal but at least if ever they did I'll have a minute free to think of a good place to hide.Not like this! I'm hiding under a freaking office desk! Should I even be thankful for the fact that his table has no compartment other than the second layer underneath? It somehow felt like this place is made for me to hide here in this specific moment, specific time, day of this year.Funny, right? So funny that I want to laugh right now, note the sarcasm, please.Then, I remembered how Terrius and I looked earlier. I mean, his clothes. He's only wearing a long tee, sports pants, and freaking spiked rubber shoes for Pete's sake! If I'm one of his employees, I'll call him an irresponsible boss.I mean, I understand that this meeting is urgent that he didn't have much ti

Chapter: Chapter 15The ambiance is not so ideal for a 'date' because we are surrounded by mirrors and leather aside from the dark brown, almost black, wooden appliances.Terrius didn't seem to think of it as a problem and to be honest? Neither do I.If this setup is not ideal for you, then how will you call a cheap date with street foods and soft drinks? A trashy setup? God!People need to update their mindset too, not only the social media they have downloaded on their phones.The date is a date and there is no right ambiance nor perfect timing to do one. I'm not saying that this lunch I'm having with Terrius is a date but the point I'm making is about dates.Yeah, hope you understood what I meant.Even if you call a simple meeting or an extravagant meeting in a fancy five Michelin star restaurant, If your partner calls it a 'friendly and not so important dinner' none of the ambiances will matter.It'll still depend on how your 'date' will be perceived

Chapter: Chapter 14My head almost fell and that's when I regained my consciousness.When I opened my eyes, I was shocked to see Terrius, still at his desk and there's no food yet. What's happening here?"What's wrong?" he asked when his eyes laid on me.That's when I realized that he is still signing paperwork while waiting for the food he ordered. While I, I had a dream!I lost consciousness! I felt poisoned and I was, like literally, dying then the reality slapped me. I was having a nightmare, clearly a nightmare!He sat beside me, which by the way, I failed to notice. I saw that he left his desk for a moment to sit here beside me right now.Then I realized, I looked horrified earlier. I can feel thick sweat dripping from my forehead and Terrius seemed to notice it too because he wiped my awe at using a handkerchief that he pulled from his pocket. Maybe because he's disgusted with my sweat? I don't know."Are you okay?" he asked.He's seriously

Chapter: Chapter 13 (3)I didn't mind what he said and tried to pay attention to my fries instead.What's the big deal with burgers anyway? Is Terrius that selfish to his employees that he thought he's not the man who's capable of letting me eat his food?Understandable though, maybe if I have this favorite food, or if only I have the chance to be possessive of my own food, I'll do so.I mean, seeing how he acted with me, he's always gentle and generous. He's kind to me that he even shared or let me eat his, I presume, favorite food, based on how shocked Shawn reacted to seeing me chew two pieces of it."Would you like some?"It would be rude of me to not ask him to join me. It would be very offending for him if I was him if I dare to eat alone here and let him watch me get my stomach full.But then I realized he's not me. He shook his head sideways before responding to me in a very polite way, "I'm good. By the way, what's your name?" he asked.Well, it's b

Chapter: Chapter 13 (2)He didn't touch any of the food and that made me a bit sad. I don't like eating alone.Even though I'm not close to my mother at home, Miya always loved to eat together with me. So, that it won't feel dull and colorless whenever we guys eat.So, this setup is quite new to me. I shook my head sideways, I shouldn't be choosy anymore. He gave me proper and more than proper food. None of these are his obligations to me but he still did these because he's such a gentlemanly guy.I remembered reading books and watching movies about women wanting bad guys and possessive men so much. I don't know what's gotten into them. I don't know if they finally became that dumb or what but I never preferred cool men.They always tend to be proud and high of themselves. Most of them are self-centered and that's not one of the things I'd want to think about after getting married to one.I breathed a sigh."Not in a good mood?"My attention was snatched by

Chapter: Chapter 13"So..." Terrius roamed his eyes to the options we had in our faces. "Which one would you like to have?"Well, there are fries, chicken, chicken filet, smoothie, and rice. Also, I forgot to notice the burgers we have.Honestly? if only I can eat all of this at once, I'll choose to eat them altogether immediately. Like, as in, now!On the contrary, I can't. I'm not rich and I so can not afford even the cheapest meal in fast food but I'm not that energetic in eating.Yes, I can savor the taste in my mouth but Nah. I can't guarantee that I'll finish all of them at once.I won't hesitate about my sister, Miya, getting involved in that type of art. She can eat so much without having her belly bulky. It's like one of her special traits as a person.Being fair and all doesn't reflect how I live. Most girls who live with the same physical description as mine wants always to be sexy and poised. I'd love to experience that, it's just that, it's impossi

Chapter: Chapter 26They were ambushed. It's been a week since the day that Claude told me about it. Five days to be exact but until now, I can't still seem to move on. I mean, how can he be so calm and call it a random car accident? Ambush means it's either they want Allistair's team dead or stalled. When I said stalled, I'm referring to the fact that they were on their way to the project. Most of the ambushes were done whenever the target is going home or doing some not-business-related vacations. I don't know but if I were to base things on the articles that I've written or movies that I've watched before, that's my conclusion. That's just a wild guess though, because aside from the fact that I will never be able to experience that—not that I want it to experience getting ambushed by some random people who have grudge against me— because I'm not rich; There's still this suspicion inside me that wants to be noticed. I don't want it to be acknowledge

Chapter: Chapter 25Nyx left and yeah, Claude treated me to the nearest fast food using the ducati that Nyx drove to us. He actually wanted to bring me to a fancy restaurant located in the next town but I stopped him. I reasoned that I’m already hungry and that I can’t go further anymore. Hello? That fancy restaurant that he wanted to go to is unbelievably expensive. How did I say so? Well, aside from the fact that the cheapest food there is the same price as my one day salary, what can I add? You get what I mean? I don’t want to be treated in those kinds of restaurants. It

Chapter: Chapter 24“Pfft. Are you high?”I urged a laugh. Though when I realised that I was the only one who’s laughing, I stopped. “Tsk! Are you hungry?” He discarded my mockery and asked instead. We’ve been walking for a while already and I left the house early, no breakfast. It’s almost lunch time but I think the next town is still a bit far.“Quite. I didn’t have breakfast. Well, maybe?” I shrugged my shoulders.

Chapter: Chapter 23I was thrown out of the ride. Sadly, I was thrown out by the conductor alone after the driver yelled at me. Somehow, I’m thankful that I wore rubber shoes instead of the sandals I wanted to wear today. This helped me at least console myself. It helped me to lessen the pain in my feet because I’m going to walk from here to the nearest villa for sure. After all, there’s no public vehicle that stops in the middle of the road to pick up a passenger. Why? Because it

Chapter: Chapter 22Claude Verganza is staring at me. He is clinging to the bar just above the entrance of the jeepney. Where I’m supposed to be on earlier if he didn’t take on my position for me. I moved my eyebrows up, and widened my eyes a bit to ask him what? In gestures. It seemed to me that he didn’t understand what I was trying to say to him because his forehead crumpled. So, I moved a bit to bend and mouthed the same word again.

Chapter: Chapter 21I was really shocked that he offered that kind of offer to me. My conscience was triggered, you know what I mean? It’s like I can recall all the lies that I’ve told him. I can say that none of them will do him good somehow even though I’ll tell him the opposite, I know it’s going to be a lie. After all, none of these, everything that I’m doing now, is going to benefit him. It can even ruin his image publicly, I know what I’m saying because from the very start, the plan was to seek his most hidden flaw. His hidden imperfection behind that famous and successful bachelor facade. I, myse
