CHAPTER 105Khlea's Point of View"IT'S NOT surprising if Luna likes you," Seven said to me while talking to him on the cell phone when I left the office for a while to buy my favorite strawberry cake. "But it's not surprising if she's only after you for a fling. You know what I mean," he added.I know that thing. According to Luna's profile, she is a prickly woman. No one chooses but after getting used to it will leave when fed up. I'm getting more and more annoyed with Luna. Yes, she is very beautiful, but she has no right to hurt women.My annoyance that I tried to put aside during work time has risen again. I want to be amazed at myself because I was able to get along with Luna well when I wanted to take her to the police but I couldn't. I can't do anything but I know I can do my plan. Not at the moment but I know there is."I know." I took a deep breath. "But maybe it's better if I allow her to flirt with me, right? To make my mission easier.""Maybe?"I frowned. "Why doesn't it
CHAPTER 106—Unexpected KindnessKhlea's Point of ViewLuna had already started eating. I just saw her eat today and I noticed that she eats well but she doesn't seem to be fat. It's not like me that when I overeat, it's immediately obvious in the body. So I'm just going to be careful with what I eat because I'm also the one who will struggle to return my body to normal vital statistics.I can't gain weight or even put on even a little bit of flesh.After Luna finished eating, we wrapped the food that had not been touched. Luna and I didn't even talk about her question earlier. It's good that I can control myself. I don't know how long I can hold back my annoyance.When we got into the car, we were both still silent. Luna placed the wrapped food on the passenger seat. Before he started the engine, she looked at me. I gave her a small smile before looking away. I took a deep breath and a few moments later we were walking down the road. We were quiet during the flight.I just turned to L
CHAPTER 107—It's OverKhlea's Point of ViewWHEN I ARRIVED at my mini office, I was just as surprised to see Trix inside and sitting on the sofa in front of me. I slowly walked towards it while it seemed to be running out of patience and rolled its eyes before standing up."Finally, you came too," she said, which is why I frowned. "Please open that door," added Trix as Luna pointed to the door connected to the office.I looked there. I remembered that it was break and Luna was there, so I thought she shouldn't have gone there. I smiled a little. "I'm really sorry, Ma'am, but do you have a schedule with Ms. Abalone?” I asked politely before approaching my desk.Trix looked at me in disbelief. Her flat aura floated even more when she raised an eyebrow at me. "Are you kidding me? You know me, don't you?""Yes, Miss Trix. Of course I know you.” I smiled sweetly.A corner of her lips rose. "That's it. Why haven't you opened it yet? I know your fingerprints are registered on that door, so o
CHAPTER 108—Literally StunnedKhlea's Point of ViewI TOOK A deep breath and placed the cell phone on top of the nightstand. I've taken a shower and put on my pajamas. I put my back on the soft bed and closed my eyes. In the past, it seems that I am very tired from my work in the office, but even so, I can say that I am enjoying what I am doing.I also thought that I could also be a secretary since this job is far from being an Ace. When I thought about my job, Allison automatically came to mind for a few days. It's been a week without any words for me. I understand that she is busy in Europe. Also, this is what I want. To have space for both of us. Fortunately, I was busy with work, so I forgot about it for a while.I opened my eyes and picked up the cell phone again. I tried calling Brenda's number but it just kept ringing.Even with Candy, I don't have any news here, so I'm really starting to worry. We were fine the last time we talked. I thought that tomorrow it might be better if
CHAPTER 109—Ice Cream FalvorsKhlea's Point of ViewAt TEN o'clock in the morning, Luna and I were already at the restaurant where we will meet her business partner—Mr. Sy. I have a tablet in my hand that I will use to list down whatever they can talk about later. Luna walks first while I follow.We had bodyguards with us but we didn't have them in the car. They had a different car and were just following while Luna was driving the car we were riding in. At another table, Luna placed the bodyguards while she let me sit first at her table and Mr. Sy.Even if I don't look back at Mr. Sy, I can feel he was staring at me. It's not new to me and I'm used to it, but now I'm nervous. The way he looked at me seemed to mean something else.Luna smiled, causing our eyes to land on her. "So, let's start the meeting," said Luna.Mr. Sy nodded. He glanced at me once before starting to speak. I, on the other hand, have prepared the tablet in my hand and ready to type on it whatever the conversation
KHLEA'S POINT OF VIEWWHEN Luna and I finished eating, that's exactly what happened. I called Agnes Liu. I know it because it is one of the famous interior designs that are really quality in works and designs. Most of the people who renovate houses or offices here are artists and business tycoons like Luna. I haven't seen Liu in person yet but I feel like I'm nervous."What did Agnes say? Is she coming today or tomorrow?" Luna's voice seemed to be in a hurry. That's what I love."You still have a business meeting with two Chinese who want to apply for our security. I guess you don't have time to deal with Agnes anymore," I said while standing in front of her table. I'm holding the chart where I have arranged Luna's schedule.Luna thought for a moment before looking at me. “Honestly, I don't want to talk to Chinese clients anymore. It's like I'm already traumatized because of what the two old ugly people I talked to did and said," she said, which made me laugh."But it's your job, Miss
Khlea's Point of ViewI was suddenly bored with Luna's meetings. Can't they communicate properly? They must be coaxing and holding Luna's heart to agree to what they want but they still talk bad about it. If only I was with them and I might have fought them. It's a good thing and not because it might cause more problems. I'm not a quarrelsome person but when I see that my partner is at a disadvantage, I'm going to leave."Let's go. I will bring you to your house," she said."There is no need. I have a car with me," I said."Of course I know." Luna laughed. "But it won't go away if you leave it here.""What?" I frowned."Come on. I'll drop you off then tomorrow, I'll pick you up," Luna said with a serious face. "Please?""Why? What for? I can drive and I don't want to bother you, Miss Luna. It's okay even if you don't drive me.""I insist. No matter what excuse you make, I will still deliver you.”I stared at Luna for a while to see if she was really serious or what. “Fine. I'll go get
Nishane's Point of ViewIn the few months that have passed, I have been trying to build up my courage and try to forget what happened. My life is so messed up. The speed of events as if I didn't know that I could be hurt like that in the time that passed in my life.Honestly, with each passing day I'm just trying to be strong. I really don't have the energy to get up every time the sun rises. During the times when it felt like it was the end of me because my life was worthless since Clifford and I lost our son, until he chose to hurt me rather than us fighting together in grief."Miss Nishane, here's your coffee."I smiled when I looked at one of my servers here at the coffee shop I own. It's only been about a week since I opened it. "Thank you."Mirae was about to turn away when she seemed to remember something. "Miss Nishane, Mr. Ruiz called earlier.""Why? What did he say?""He just asked me about your schedule this weekend.""You said?"Mirae shook her head. "No. I know you won't
CHAPTER 169—Give InKhlea’s Point of ViewI JUST STARED in front of the laptop monitor as I tried to get what I learned today into my mind. It's confirmed! The flashdrive with the keychain that I found inside Luna's drawer does belong to La Tigresa. But Seven hasn't replied yet whether that's what I really meant.I don't understand how I should feel now. Should I be happy because somehow, I have found something that I really want to target in Luna. Or sad because it wasn't enough? I'm confused.I'm here now in my condo. I don't know how to feel right now. It's not that I'm defending Luna but what if Luna had nothing to do with the La Tigresa transaction? Because there is a part of my heart that is protesting and seems to be telling me that Luna doesn't know anything. But I also know that it is impossible that Luna knows nothing about her father's business.I can no longer understand myself. Back then, I really wanted to succeed in my mission, but now, I just catch myself laughing and
CHAPTER 168—Gun & FlashdriveKhlea’s Point of ViewI felt a hand on my shoulder causing me to look back and see who it was. “Seven!”“Hmm. Does it look nice?” he asked as if he read my mind.I faced here. "Why did you leave Allison? That might be necessary,” I said."Don't overact. He fell asleep because of the medicine that was injected into him." He bowed and thought for a moment. When he looked at me, he immediately grinned. "I know what you are thinking, Khlea.""What are you saying?""The way you look at Luna Aballos, there seems to be something different.""Come on, Seven. Even you?""I have trust in you. We. But I hope you don't destroy it." Because of the way it was pointed, it was as if someone had kicked my chest. A part of my heart seems to have been hit by his words.I didn't move. It's like even I don't know what to do anymore. What I do know is that what is happening to me is still part of the plan. I smiled at Seven. "Don't worry because I know what I'm doing.""I hope
CHAPTER 167—Allison's wordsKhlea’s Point of ViewI know that Allison is very angry with me. He is not alone because I feel the same way about it. I also feel bad that we ended up like that. I didn't expect that we would exchange words like that and he looked like he didn't trust me.I know what I'm doing and I don't deviate from the plan. If he notices that I'm getting close to Luna, he should be happy because I'm starting to fall in love with that one. I don't understand why we still have to get into an argument because of his interference in what I'm doing.I'm not young and we're not even in a relationship to explain to myself why I didn't come home. He didn't even know that I had a disease.I was stunned for a while while my car stopped because the traffic light was still red. 'It's up to Allison. It's his fault why I got annoyed with him.' I took a deep breath before waking up when I heard a car horn behind me.I shook my head to clear myself and take my mind off what happened o
CHAPTER 165—Limitation and Boundaries Khlea’s Point of ViewLUNA was carrying two bottles of ladies drink while walking near where I was. When she got close, she reached for one of mine. She sat next to me. We are now on the roof top and can freely look at the vast sky full of stars. The wind that hits our skin is also cold so it is inevitable that I feel cold."Are you cold?"I nodded. “Yes. Why did we go here?""It's better that we're here. I also miss star gazing," she said as she looked at the bottle she was holding.That is also what I did. I also looked at the sky then took a deep breath. I have to admit that I feel better because earlier, I was stressed with Allison. I just tried to accept our answer in my mind. It's up to me if it makes me angry. I'll just talk about it tomorrow when I get home and we meet at headquarters."So what did your friend say? Has it calmed down?” Luna asked when she looked back at me.I shook my head. "Not yet. I'll just talk to her tomorrow when I
CHAPTER 165—Her Real FeelingsNishane’s Point of View"WHAT do you think Olive wants to happen? I feel that she is just making a way to get her Clifford's. I mean, yes. Maybe she really likes Clifford, but I hope she doesn't feel sorry for you. You and Clifford no longer have a relationship. It's been a long time since you two broke up, so if she wants a man who was connected to you then, don't feel sorry for yourself," said Mirae.I told her about what Clifford said this morning. "For me, she is a very frustrated woman. Didn't she think she was beautiful? Rich. Many people will like her. Why does she still want Clifford, right?" Because I'm annoyed. Why Clifford?"Hey!" Mirae called me so I looked at her. "Why do you say that you don't want Clifford to be with her?""Huh? That's not what I meant. I'm not saying anything like that. My only point is, with so many men in the world, why Clifford?""There's nothing we can do if Clifford really wants it, okay? Just you, let her. My point
CHAPTER 164—Talk to him againNishane's Point of ViewI could NOT sleep at night because Clifford was still gone. He left a while ago and left The8 sleeping in the guest room. I shouldn't have waited for him but I was worried so I waited for him to come back to my house. Their luggage is still here. He said he was going to talk to someone but still nothing until I fell asleep for a while.It was four o'clock in the morning when I heard the knock so I got up and went to the door to open it. I immediately smelled the alcohol so I had the idea that Clifford had been drinking. I closed my eyes for a while to condition myself.I rubbed my eyes. The light was off in the entire living room but because of the small lampshade with a light bulb, that was the only light that provided light to the four corners of the house. I can see the bulk of Clifford's body."Have you eaten? I guess you've been drinking?""Yeah. I'm sorry if I disturbed you. Because I remembered, The8 and I's stuff is here. I
CHAPTER 163—Press Conference Nishane's Point of ViewMY heart was filled with anger because the fake news created by Olive spread immediately. I didn't think that her attitude was so bad that she could ruin my business just because she was jealous of me. I can't accept that the business that we worked hard for as friends was just ruined because of her story.I clenched my palms as I looked at the CCTV footage where it was obvious how the drinks ordered by the customers were being made throughout the day. We have experienced CCTV, police and reporters in front of us because we need to clear the name of my business. I was so angry that I had the police pick up Olive from the shop. I thought I was going to have a heart attack because I felt my neck thicken with anger."As you can see in the full video from the CCTV footage, around 8:15 to 9 o'clock at night it is obvious how the drinks are made. Olive didn't come to my coffee shop either and we are looking for the person she said bought
CHAPTER 162—Forgetting Something AgainKhlea's Point of ViewAT FIRST I was very surprised but when I saw Luna's sweet lips that seemed to be teasing me, I felt so sleepy that my eyelids closed on their own.I don't know about such things but my lips spontaneously responded to her kiss. Luna's way of kissing was intoxicating. Slowly and seemingly savoring every moment our lips touch. Luna moved and moved closer to me. I didn't object but I responded to her kiss.Luna's lips moved away from mine so I opened my eyes. Our bodies are still touching today. Luna looked at my face again and brought her lips to my forehead. It was as if a warm palm caressed my heart because of what she did. I closed my eyes. My hands are clinging to her arms."Thank you for coming with me," she said, then hugged me.I'm not sure if the heartbeat I feel and hear is mine. It's like the strength of that.I just smiled at her as she walked away from me. "You're always welcome, Miss Luna," I said. "It's just work
CHAPTER 161—She Kissed HerKhlea's Point if View"ARE you excited yet?" Luna asked me when we got dressed. When we woke up, she told me to get dressed because we had somewhere to go. She didn't say where so I really have no idea.“A bit. You don't want to tell me where we're going." She just smiled at me so I just let her. Our travel time was a few minutes before we got out of the car.I WAS amazed as my eyes looked at the entirety of the yacht that Luna and I climbed on. Luna held my hand because I was a little dizzy from the waves of the sea. There are acquaintances congratulating her. I don't know any of them. Nothing familiar to me.But in the way they dress, complexions will show the luxury of life. There were also male guests who were also talking to Luna and focused their attention on me.I just smiled and tried to hide the nervousness I felt. When a server came by to serve drinks, I immediately grabbed a goblet of golden liquid.Luna and I looked at each other. He frowned when
