"Thanks but I can find my way." With her hand already on the door handle, she pulled it open to walk out.
"Destiny." He stopped her again.
"What?"
"Go home."
She tried to suppress her laughter. "You're not trying to tell me where I ought to go right?"

As part of her mechanisms to divert her thoughts from anything but him, she got engrossed in work and gave him straight answers whenever he asked her anything.When there was nothing more to do, she did one of her favorite things; reading.It barely worked when his hand came knocking on her desk for her attention.She looked up from her laptop without a word but her eyes were demanding him to speak."I thought I'd treat you for lunch since you looked this good today."Though flattered, she dropped her gaze back on the laptop and replied dramatically.

"No problem." He put his hand at the small of her back and led her inside. A lot of people have arrived already.Once they stepped in, almost every head turned. The men looked wowed and couldn't take their eyes off her. It was like a lady had visited an all-boys college after a decade of none being there.It's either she looked good or horrible. The two attracted attention so she couldn't tell. And what Whilhem said about her being the center of attraction sounded unbelievable to her.Among all the people, there was a lot she knew from the hotel business world."Told ya." He whispered to her.

Before going to look wherever Wilhelm has been dragged to, she looked for miss pixie. Same lady she acted unfriendly to earlier.She saw her talking to some of the guests with that wide smile of hers plastered on her face.Pixie noticed that she was waiting on her and politely excused herself to get to her."I'm not going to apologize for earlier. Because I'm not like you who dash smiles on a gold platter to strangers. But I am thankful that you left them for me.""It's okay." And there was that smile of hers again. So huge that it showed her entire thirty-two set. Maybe she should call her Miss Smiley instead."I was coming to call you before meeting them.""Call me? For what?"

"That was part of the game." She lied."You riled her up. You caused the wrestle after all.""What's teasing if it doesn't provoke any kind of feeling?""You're right." He gave her the drink and this time she took it and handed him the empty glass."But would you have...Uhm..done it if I were serious about it?"

Karen went on. "It's not just about work, is it? You wouldn't fight for him just because of the work, would you?"She looked around suspiciously even though she didn't have to because no one lived with Karen. Richard only comes to visit when he deems it fit."I don't know what you're talking about.""Don't act dumb. Can't you see that you've changed?""This is how I've always been. Maybe you didn't know because you never crossed me until now.""That too but what I mean is that you've changed. You as a whole. Just look at yourself." She waved her hands over her body."I still don't know what you're talking about, Karen." She replied innocently."Then you should just enjoy it." She poin

It's just…”“Just what?” He cuts her off.“Nothing.”“Nothing? Did you realize that you're ghosting me?

She was mumbling when she got cut off."Hi Des, it's...wait. Were you saying you're still in bed?"Destiny got up to a sitting position and begrudgingly rubbed her eyes. "Ara?""Yes, baby."Destiny rolled her eyes. "You sound cheery.""Of course. Wanna guess it?""You know I just woke up.

The moment the elevator dinged, her heart leaped along with it but she didn't flinch and pretended to be engrossed. The closer his steps got, the more his fragrance filled her nostrils. Her insides tightened in excitement. He closed earlier than usual today. "Mmm...what is it you're reading?" He came around and kissed the corners of her lip. "Why do you wanna know? You never cared." She asked, smiling but never looking up from the book. "I've seen you go from scared to happy, in love and despair. More of despair. You've cried a bucket full already. I can't take it."
