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 113—Friend like MiraeNishane's Point of view"ARE YOU okay with this?" Hanz asked me as he showed me the contents of a paper bag. He was holding two earlier and placed one on top of my table.I looked at him in wonder because I didn't know what the clothes he was showing me were for. I let go of the ballpoint pen I was holding and turned my attention to Hanz. "What is that for?" I asked him."These are for you. You wear them on the weekend. I told you, didn't I? It's Daddy's birthday."I nodded. "Yes, but you don't need to buy me more.""It's not just for you. This one, it's for Mirae."I nodded slowly. I don't know if what he's saying is true or if he's just making it up so that I don't contradict him on things. "Okay.""So, are you okay with this? We can change it to a design if you want. The theme of Daddy's party is actually silver."Honestly, I don't understand anything Hanz is saying. I just keep nodding so as not to hurt this friend of mine. The ballpoint pen I was hol
Nishane's Point of ViewI don't know why but my chest was pounding so hard while we were going to the venue where Hanz's daddy's birthday party was going to be held. When Mirae and I looked at each other, she frowned."Why? Are you okay?" he asked me.I nodded after letting out a deep breath. "Just nervous but I'm fine."I felt Hanz turn to Mirae and me. "Is there a problem?" he asked with his eyes looking at me."I'm fine." That's all I said because I don't want him to worry about me.I remained silent as we approached the venue. Hanz got out of the car first and opened the door for us. Since I went down first, Hanz grabbed my hand first to support me. I didn't expect camera flashes to greet us. I dodged but Hanz laughed at me."You're not used to it?" he asked. I didn't answer because I preferred to go inside to avoid the cameras.Fortunately, Mirae also came down. We got between Hanz and held onto his arms. We walked the red carpet. I didn't expect my friend's father's birthday to
