Two days later, on Lisa's side.

"Ah—what happened to you?" Karen slipped into the chair opposite Lisa, throwing her purse on the table. U

"Unemployment." Lisa's sigh was filled with emotion.

Soft music played in the background of the small bar, creating a cozy atmosphere.

"We got to stop doing this." Karen groaned under her breath.

"Doing what?" Lisa lifted up a glass and chugged down the beer, the liquor burning down her throat.

"Drinking all the time." Karen poured herself a cup, and leaned against her chair.

"What is the best way to down your sorrow than a heartfelt drink?"

"Right." Karen could only agree.

"You look like you have a lot on your mind." Lisa stared at her closely, noticing her unease.

"Do I?" Karen shrugged

"What is on her mind?" Lisa asked and she halted, looking down at her empty glass.

"It is okay if you don't want to tell me."

"It's not that." Karen was quick to refute.

"So i—"

"Hmmm....." Lisa urged her on with a low hum.

"I want to go back to school."

    "And that's what happened." Karen flopped on the table, forcing a smile. "Fortunately tho, they didn't kick me out.""Your mom really is too much." Lisa non existent respect for the lady dropped to a minus. "I don't care. I only have to hold on for less than a month, and I am gone." She stated. "And the phone?" Lisa asked."Yeah." Karen dipped a hand into a pocket and slid it over to her. "It broke really badly." Lisa cringed on seeing the break marks on the screen. "Tell me about it." Lisa's thumb pressed on the on button and the screen lighted up. With a blue light. She was surprised. "It still works?""Miraculously." Karen nodded. "And the touchpad isn't that affected too. Only the top-right part of the screen isn't working." Lisa was just about to return it to her when the phone started to vibrate. "Someone's calling.""Let me see." Karen stared at the number for a few seconds before deciding to answer. "Hello?""Hello, is this the lady I bumped into the other night?""Ye

    Lisa had an apron tied around her waist. Her hair was put up in a high ponytail and she held both a pen and a note as she took the tables order. Flashing a bright smile the moment she finished."Is that all you want?""Uh—yes." The table had four girls who looked to be very close friends."I will be right back." Lisa nodded, then headed back to the kitchen where she have the order to the cook."That is weird." Karen spoke from behind her, the corner of her lips ticked up in thought."What is weird?" Lisa gave her an indifferent glance. Waiting for the cook to fix together her order."That handsome guy sitting over there, next to the window seems to be staring at you. Or is it just my eyes?" She mused.'no. You are not wrong. He is indeed staring at me.' Lisa sighed to herself. Her head starting to ache.Who knew why the self obsessed Mr Axel decided to grace their restaurant with his presence?No matter how she tried to ignore him, it was just impossible."Tsk....I don't think I am wr

    The light automatically turned on as Axel walked into the house. He dragged his tie loose and tossed it on the leather couch. He then removed his suit jacket before walking to the kitchen. He opened the fridge and took out a bottle of chilled water, hungrily gulping it all, then aimed the emptying can for the bin, which was unfortunately a miss. What a way to ruin my day is good. She doesn't need it? Whatever is done of my business.It is her fault being blind and rejecting my generosity. "You started seeing things too?" Axel swayed around at the unexpected voice. His hand moved with agility, grabbing a beer bottle from the still-open fridge. "Chill, man!" Chris jumped back, an alarmed look on his face.Realising it was just Chris, Axel withdrew his hand. He put the beer back into the fridge then gave his best friend a dead look."What are you doing here?"I am hungry." Chris replied nonchalantly. "I didn't want to eat alone.""And I don't see how that is my cup of tea." Axel po

    "Lisa.""Hmmm?" Lisa hummed. She pulled open the oven's small door and placed the pan of chocolate cookies she had just made in before turning to her best friend, who had just arrived. "What is it?""I found another job." Karen put on her apron, taking her position at the sink. "A waitress. At a bar. It is night shifts, and the pay is pretty good. I asked for the both of us if you want.""A bar?" Lisa slammed the dough she was kneading against the bowl. "I will pass.""I thought so." Karen wiped her hands dry, then turned around to lean on the metallic table. "It sure will be boring without you.""Work isn't supposed to be fun." Lisa pointed out, and Karen ignored her. Saying instead."Did something happen?""What?"Karen rubbed the tip of her chin thoughtfully. "Your smile is so bright that my eyes are starting to sting. Did you get yourself a boyfriend behind my back or something?""As if." Lisa rolled her eyes, but the smile on her lips remained. She announced. "I already gathered

    "Lisa!! Come out. I brought a drink to celebrate." She heard Karen's excited voice."Celebrate what?""You finally gathered enough money to pay little Felix's school fees. You have been so worried ever since last year. We definitely got to celebrate."'celebrate?' Lisa's stomach churns.She glanced at Felix, forcing a smile. "Okay. Be right down."Her brother looked up at her, and she lowered her gaze, saying, "I will be right back. I am going to meet Karen outside.""Okay. Be careful.""Don't wait for me; go to bed when you are done.""Hmmm." Felix hummed. He stared at the door after she left, his brows slightly wrinkled.Lisa's smile, which she had been struggling to hold up, fell as she climbed down the stairs.They lived on the rooftop of the building.

    A CHANGE IN POINT OF VIEW.The room was coated in a deadly silence; no one dared to breathe out of line or say a word. All focused on reading the expression on his face.A blank look—means to redo.A slight hook at the end of his lips—not bad. Redo.A downward curve—has taken an interest and is seriously contemplating it.And a bright smile—whoever gave the presentation is a goner. Roasted.All the department heads sat pine straight on their seats, sweating profusely even under the cold temperature in the meeting room, as they watched the familiar smile slowly climb up Axel's lips."You spent a whole month—for this trash?" His eyes swept across the room, his voice dripping with venom."And Manager Owen. I have no problems with you having your subordinates do your work, but this—""I apologize, Mr. Axel." The middle-aged man quickly bowed in apology."Sorry? Sorry, won't cut this. The product is way below expectations." He stood up, pointing at the projection screen. "Where you all sle

    "Ah...." Lisa released a breath, and a scowl settled on her lips. "He was so arrogant, as if he thought I wouldn't be able to reject him.""And what did you say?" Karen leaned closer, even though she already knew the answer."Of course I said no.""He must have been surprised." Anyone in his shoes would feel so. Karen thought."You should have seen his face." Lisa giggled."If I were you, I definitely would have been tempted." Karen pointed out."Who said that I wasn't tempted? It was a whole ten million dollars after all.""But you didn't give in. You should give yourself credit for that."'right. You did well, Lisa.' She smiled."So, are you going to go back?""I don't know. I might as well hold on for a few more days.""Right. I was also thinking the same." Karen nodded.'Hopefully, I will never see him again.' Lisa prayed.★★★★★★Wearing a big bear costume on a hot day was definitely not a good choice.Still, Lisa had to do it. Handing out seasonal fliers to passersby.It was hard

    "Mr. Axel, where are we going?" Lisa asked staring out of the window. It was cold and showering hard, with the top of buildings covered in white. He glanced at her and said. "You talk too much. Why are you so curious? Lisa pursed her lips, already starting to regret why she had agreed to spend the day with him. Seeing that black lines were starting to form on her face, Axel gave a loud laugh. "It is a surprise.""I hate surprises." Lisa mumbled under her breath. Still without a choice, she was left in suspense until Axel drove into a parking lot. He climbed down and urged her to do the same. "Are we walking?" Lisa tugged on her coat, wrapping it around her firmly to keep the cold out. "It is not far." He responded. True to his words, they stopped a few blocks away, and Lisa's eyes trailed a big sign in front of the building. Underwater City? She turned to Axel, who refused to give anything away. "Let's go in." e said. Lisa had a hunch as she walked after him. They were app

    "Now?" Lisa looked around the party that was too in full swing. "Why? is there something you are waiting for?" Axel asked, briefly glancing back. Lisa passed the cop to a passing waiter and gently followed after him."Already leaving. So soon." Aurora, the chairman's third daughter, blocked his way, a soft pout on her lips. "Pardon me, but I have something important tomorrow and unfortunately I have to excuse myself." He stated, just like a gentleman. "I see." Aurora noted, in understanding. "It was my fault. I almost forgot that your job must be very taxing." She then turned to Lisa, her lips hooked in a bright smile. "It is nice to meet you. Let's get to know each other better next time. Merry Christmas in advance.""Merry Christmas." Lisa sincerely smiled back. Massive fireworks exploded in the skies as they stepped out of the event hall, and the two took a moment to appreciate the beauty that smeared the skies. "Merry Christmas in advance, Mr. Axel." Lisa said to Axel, who l

    The event was held in a hotel, and Axel handed his keys to the frontman walking in the red carpets with an arm linked to Lisa's. For Lisa, who wasn't used to the intense flashing of cameras, she felt the world turn white for some seconds and only recovered when they entered the main hall."Are you alright?" Axel glanced at her, and she pressed down the urge to rub on her eyes, not wanting to ruin her makeup. She nodded stiffly. "I am good.""You should be, after all this has just began."Axel wasn't bluffing when he said this. They first went on to congratulate the celebrant, then the host, which was his children, and after then it was business mode, and Lisa was once again reminded of the fact that Axel wasn't just any bipolar jerk. He was the CEO of the top tech company in the world. Every word he said hit on the point, and how he could easily dominate any discussion couldn't fail to amaze her. It was to the extent where Lisa, who thought of herself to be really extroverted, fe

    "What are you wearing?" Axel's eyes twitched as Lisa walked towards him.She scanned his body tailored, navy blue suit, matched with a dark ash tie.His hair was made in a messily, sexy style, and she is hit with a realization. "Are we going somewhere important?""Tell me." He gives her a scowl. "Of course yes. Why else would I ask you to dress nice if it isn't somewhere important?""That is also what you said last time and I ended up overdressing." Lisa said hinting to the last time she followed him to the hospital.Axel looked at her, at lost for words. In the end he lets out a sigh, brushing his fingers through his curls. "If you give me ten minutes I can go back and change into something el—""Don't bother." He opened the door for her and said indifferently. "Get in.""What? I can't go like this, can I?" Lisa immediately protested. Feeling it would be too embarrassing.Axel stared straight at her then repeated. "Get in."'ah, wherever it is your loss. After all I am going in you
