Three days laterIt's been three days since that happened, but I still can't bring myself to look Raziel in the face or even in the eyes. How did I manage to squirt, was I so carried away by what we were doing to experience that thing?I can't help but massage my forehead, we have a meeting today and he will pick me up. But I don't know how to talk to him like before, until I can I would like to avoid him first.I was startled by someone knocking on the door, even though I didn't look I was sure it was him. I smiled awkwardly when I opened the door, "h-hello." I greeted him.He stared at me before greeting back, "Are you ready to go, or am I too early?""No, you came just right." I could feel my jaw twitching a little but I couldn't get rid of the awkward smile on my lips."Seriously, Lorain." He took a deep breath while holding his waist, "You don't need to act like that, actually it's like you're trying to smile."The smile on my lips gradually disappeared because of what he said, h
"Why are you looking like that, has Jamie told you anything yet?" Raziel asked but I just shook my head, once we started talking, he would not stop and it would be even harder for me to avoid him.He smiled, "Are you going to keep doing that?" His eyebrows meet, "how long will you not talk to me, Lorain?"I bit my lower lip, I don't know how long I'll act like a high schooler avoiding the guy he kissed because of shame. I heard him sigh loudly, "Fine, keep doing that."There was a hint of irritation in his voice, but I still couldn't look at him and talk to him. He was seriously driving while I was just looking out of the window, it would be better if we had a problem with the materials first.Maybe when we finish there, I won't be ashamed of what happened, for now, that's what's more important.~“Welcome, Sir!” His secretary greeted us when we entered the company building, "Hello Ma'am Lorain, one of the branches from abroad called earlier to ship materials.""What did they say abou
"Are you just saying that to make me feel better?" The tone of his voice with me is still a bit off, but at least now he is looking at me unlike before. “if yes, don’t bother.” He scoffed."No, I'm serious," I answered and looked directly into his eyes, hoping he would finally feel okay, “you deserve more than what you are thinking.”"Fine, let's say that what you say is true but it doesn't mean that I agree with what is happening, as long as I can prevent him from getting close to you, I will do it." He said like a child.I laughed while nodding, "It's up to you if that's what you want," I ruffled his hair."Hey, it took me a while to fix that just so I could look presentable to you." He forbade me, but I didn't stop and it made me enjoy what I’m doing."You look more handsome with your hair like that, remember when I went to your house." I put his mind at ease and caressed his soft cheeks, it looked like he was using even better skincare than me."I know I'm handsome, Lorain." He sa
Jamie's POV"Welcome home, how was your conversation?" His face was serious, wearing an apron while holding a ladle. Whenever I go home, this is what I always wait to see."Fortunately, he is fulfilling what we both talked about but he is still not giving up on the idea of getting his ex-wife." I handed him my bag and looked at what he was cooking. "what is this?""Sinigang, the weather is cold so it's nice to have some soup today. But if you don't want that, I can cook what you want, just tell me." He said while arranging my things in the drawer."No, this is fine. Everything you cook is delicious," I smiled even though he turned his back on me and couldn't see it, ah... I want to hug him.I clenched my hands and simply looked at the CCTV from the side, my family does not even know what is the meaning of the word privacy."Go and change your clothes, it's almost ready, once you come down we can start eating." He went back to what he was doing, his muscular hand picked up the ladle ag
Jamie's POVAs the days passed and our fights became more and more frequent, he rarely came to my house so that we could have private time with each other. "Here, you have two meetings at that time." He put down a piece of paper with the details written on it."Lewis," I called his name and was about to hold his hand when he quickly pulled it away as if he didn't want even the tips of our fingers to touch.I felt a sudden pain in my chest because of what he did, I quickly looked up at his face but even his eyes couldn't look at me. “Lewis,” I called him again."Please don't call me like that here," he answered without looking at me, "you know what can happen if there is even one person who knows what we have, I'm your secretary now so treat me like one.”He stepped back and bowed, "I will go out now, don't forget the meeting later because those are important investors." He was about to turn his back on me when I quickly pulled the hem of his clothes.I stood up from my seat and tighte
John's POV (Jake's uncle)"You see, Jake is no longer doing what we told him to do. Since that woman arrived here, everything became chaotic." He rested his chin on his clasped hands."Jamie seems to be having second thoughts about marrying him because of what's going on," I added to make Dad even more annoyed with my very good nephew who is good at everything. I could not help but smirk.His eyebrows crossed because of what I said, yes, he should be disappointed in Jake now and let me be the one to inherit the company."What do you mean, even Jamie is having second thoughts about the marriage we have planned for years? That's not possible, we'll lose a lot if that happens." He felt a sense of worry, "Jake is smart, he just needs to be aware of the truth again."I secretly snickered, no matter what I did, he still had a lot of trust in that man. What's good with that bastard, he can't let go of Jake to inherit the company."What do you plan to do today, Dad? If by chance the whole com
Lorain's POV"We already shipped everything, if you can check it right now and see if something is missing then please inform us immediately so we can do our best to fulfill our duty," I said seriously in front of them, compared to before, Jake's grandfather and uncle became quieter.It was actually better, but I don't know why I feel the way I do, I feel uncomfortable every time their stares land on me. Once again, I noticed Jake's uncle grinning at me."That's good, I think that the people in the department have already checked the materials and nothing is missing. Our project is almost finished and I'm happy, I mean the partnership with you guys is smooth." Jamie answered.I noticed something else, apart from the silence of the two, Jamie's behavior seemed to be limited unlike before. Even though his speech has become soft, they don't often fake smiles anymore.I know that I don't have the right to interfere and worry about her but I can't help it, what if like me she also experien
When I went down to the lobby, I found Raziel surrounded by three women, who were happily talking to him. It was obvious from how their cheeks blushed that they were excited while talking to him, especially when one of them had the chance to hold Raziel's arms."Ahem!" I couldn't stop myself from clearing my throat so loudly that even those on the other side of the lobby looked at me. I ignored that and walked closer to Raziel, "Jamie and I are done talking but it looks like you are the one talking about something important, should I go first?"I ignored the three women on the side, I waited for Raziel's answer. The shock in his eyes was obvious, but a smile slowly appeared on his lips as if he were so happy. "Well, it's not really important. They're just asking about something, come on?” he offers his hand in front of me.I looked at the three women and smiled, "don't you have anything else to ask him?" I tried not to sound flat as I said that, but they quickly shook their head in re
