Chapter: 22: His Confession Vanessa's P.O.V.As I watched Zeux, I smiled. He is a decent person. And I feel like he's something special in my heart because of his constant care for me whenever I'm sick and making me feel like there's someone who still loves me. I'm sorry for passing judgment on him so quickly."Are you okay now?" he asked as he approached me.I give him a friendly nod. "Yes, I am, and I am grateful to you for always being there for me."He only smiled. "You are always welcome, Vanessa, and I will do everything in my ability to ensure your safety and well-being."I look him perfectly straight in the eyes. I'm still not sure why he treats me this way. I'm not sure why he's so nice to me. Is he actually in love with me? Or am I just assuming?"Permit me to ask you a question?"His brows furrowed. "Of course, but what is it?"I took a deep breath before beginning to speak. "I was wondering why you are so good to me. Like, why are you like that to me? I can't remember the last time I did something ni

Chapter: 21: Best Day Zeux's P.O.V.When I felt someone running on my shoulder, I woke up. When I turned around, Vanessa was cuddling me and soundly dozing next to me. I merely grinned. I used my hand to comb her hair. She is extremely lovely. I suddenly remember what happened the night I kissed her. I suddenly felt uneasy because I knew that when Vanessa woke up, she would be upset with me for this position between the two of us. I took care not to wake her up with every move I made. I gently pulled her hand away from my hug and then I fully stood up. It was already noon when I looked at my watch. She was next to me while I slept soundly. I gave her a quick forehead kiss and hurried out the door, kissing her softly before I finally left her apartment.When I got home, I quickly showered and dressed. I ate for a while and then went straight to work. I first smelled myself to see if I smelled good. When I remembered what happened between Vanessa and me the night before, I couldn't stop smiling. Fortunately

Chapter: 20: Kiss HerVanessa's P.O.V."Your saliva is about to drip, and I think you're so amazed looking at me," I tease.He closed his mouth and smiled tentatively. "I'm sorry. It's only now that I've seen you so beautiful. I'm not saying you were ugly before. I'm just saying you'll be even more beautiful when you dress beautifully."I rolled my eyes. "I don't have much time to fix myself, so I'm glad my outfit is simple."He smiled. "Yes, and it's fine. Simple but beautiful."I simply didn't notice the compliments he paid me. He's probably just teasing me. Knowing this man, he enjoys flirting. And I'm not going to give in to what he says. I ate a lot of expensive food that I had ordered. Because of the amount of food I ate, I feel like my stomach is going to burst. I noticed him smiling as he looked at me."What?" I asked."Nothing. I just admire you because you can eat so many different foods. It's almost as if you're not a woman when you eat.""That's what it's like when you're hungry."He laughed. "

Chapter: 19: Lovely LadyVanessa's P.O.V.I'm still unable to concentrate on my work as a result of what Zuex did to me. He just hugged me that night, and I'm upset with myself for being so affected by it. It's just a hug, but why am I acting so strangely? Plus, it's been a week since he hugged me. But why did he hug me that night is the question. I know he misses me, but why does he act as if he likes me? Is he for real? Or was he just trying to flirt with me?"You appear to be thinking about something very important. What is it?"I almost jumped when I saw Zeux's face in front of me. My face is turning bright red right now. What exactly is he doing in our department? I look at him for a second and notice that he has grown more attractive. What's that? Did I just say he's attractive?"H-Hi, Sir," I said, my voice trembling.I took a look around and saw nothing. What happened to the other employee? My eyes widened as I noticed Zeux's face, which was smiling at me."I just gave them an order, and we're the onl

Chapter: 18: Trying to be KindZeux' P.O.V.I can't look at Vanessa right now because of what I did to her the night before. I'm not even sure where I got the courage to hug her. What is going on with me? Am I going insane? I was never like this before. But why does it appear that I have changed? Is it all Vanessa's fault? Why does she appear to have such a strong influence on my personality? What's the matter with her, and why am I acting this way?"You look like a crazy madly in love with her while looking at her picture on your phone. You've been staring at her picture for almost an hour now!" Jason exclaimed as he sat in front of me."I'm sorry if I'm behaving in this manner."I turned off my phone and placed it on the table. When Jason laughed so hard at me, I was taken aback. He stopped laughing and looked at me for a moment before laughing again. I punched him in the arm, but he still laughs. He's very strange."What? Are you stupid or something? Why are you laughing so hard? You irritate me!" I yelled.His

Chapter: 17: HugVanessa's P.O.V.Zeux has been gone for three days on business. When he is not present, the employee here in the office is content. I grabbed my snack and began eating it at my table. I'm already hungry, but it's not yet time for lunch."Hey, Vanessa!" Jolie said. She sat next to me."Yes, why?" I asked, smiling."I'm just interested in something.""What exactly is that?"She draws herself closer to me, as if she is about to say something to me that she does not want others to hear. I waited for her to say something."How close are you to Zuex, our boss?"I actually raised my brows at her. What is her reason for asking me that? It's completely unexpected. And it surprised me. She usually inquired about Blake because she has a crush on him."What? Are you serious when you ask such a question? I fully expect you to inquire about Blake. Not to our arrogant boss.""It's just that...I notice it," she smiled as she pinched my nose."Have you noticed anything strange?" "Like what?"She inha
