As I stepped inside the elevator, I shook my head. It's a wonderful thing that what we're doing is done, and now we only need to fill the positions that are still vacant. I haven't had enough sleep in a month; if I don't get five hours of sleep, I generally get three. Lucas, on the other hand, cooperates despite my expectations that he would not. In actuality, Adams and him have the greatest work to do, while I am merely a backup to the failing plans. Nonetheless, my energy was depleted.When the elevator doors opened, I was standing on the edge with my eyes closed. I didn't bother opening them because I didn't recognize a handful of the personnel here, and they had done the same thing to me. They may not even be aware that I am one of their bosses. I'm also feeling heavy and think I'm going to have a fever. I simply cocked my head till someone spoke from beside me."Shouldn't you rest while you're tired? You may now relax because the project is finished." Recognizing the speaker I ju
I didn't ask what he meant because he just left me with a series of uncertainty. I don't recall what dream he was referring to, but I believe I know what he meant because this was how it generally happened to me every night at the time. Maybe he realized how powerless I was in my dream. Perhaps I dreamt about what those men did to me again. I don't think I'll ever be able to forget that nightmare. Maybe it'll pay me a visit every night, although I'm not sure why he'd be sad to merely see me like that.I just remained there staring at the door, not leaving its front till he came in. When he brought me the porridge, he didn't say anything. I just stared at it and didn't accept it since I knew I wouldn't be able to handle it due to my weakness. He sighed and returned to his seat, possibly because he realized that I had no intention of touching it. He used the spoon to scoop the porridge and placed it in front of my mouth. He glared at me since I didn't open my mouth."How can you regain
I nibbled the tip of the pen, wondering what was wrong and why he no longer wanted to have sex with me. When I first met him, he was like a beast on the prowl, but since I got a fever, he's avoided me like the plague. Ignoring the fact that I was the one who initiated it, he refused. I'm also feeling well, and I haven't had a fever in two weeks, so what else is he concerned about? I sprang on my swivel chair since the concept irritated me. When there was a knock on my door, I was walking back and forth from my office. I instantly switched my sight there, hoping it was Lucas.But I was disappointed because it wasn't he who walked in, but Tiffany, who was carrying a lot of paper, so what I saw made me even more miserable. Instead of being delighted, my heart sank as I realized how much work I had to complete today. I turned around at the door and walked ahead, leaving Tiffany. She talked as I sat back down in the swivel chair and grabbed up the pen."Why does it look so bad to you to wa
He was holding my arm, but I was simply staring at it. Is there anything else I can do for him? I didn't look at him since I didn't want him to feel sorry for me, just because he showed me those feelings. Another possibility is that he was already aware of my presence in his office. Maybe they were actually mocking me —-because I'm a fool. I believed in the things he made me feel— that he is interested. Perhaps he sensed I desired it too badly. I lifted my hand to remove his hand because I am getting burned by each of his touches.His grasp on me was still firm at first, but it gradually eased. I merely put up with the ache even though it was possible that I might never be able to love again. When I closed the door, I didn't say anything and instead kept going. But before I could pass the employees' cubicle, he called at me, which caused me to ground to a standstill."Aria, talk to me." I could detect a mournful tone in his voice, but I disregarded it since I knew it was just another
When I arose from my rest, I recognized who owned it. My brow wrinkled even more, and I wanted to call Lucas a stalker, but I kept my lips shut and opted to remain silent when I saw who was with him walking down the car. I turned to look at Fernan, who was already sitting next to me, and asked him to go, but I noticed him gazing towards Lucas' place, so I followed his eyes. I observed the woman's eyes widening as she turned her look from Fernan to me. Fernan leaned very close and whispered to me.I got out in front of my car and she was my mother. When he came down, I immediately put my arm around him so that he would not be sad anymore. I didn't pay attention to see if Luke was still looking at us. Now, I really don't have anything to handle anymore. It was obvious in front of my eyes. Fernan's car was already leaving so I followed it. Our hearts are both unfortunate today. Destiny really does play differently.He urged me to come out in front of my car, so I did. When he came down,
I pulled his neck and initiated the kiss. I literally burnt in the heat of his body. While we were kissing, he took off his wet pants and supported me in lying down on the bed. Instead of continuing our intense activity, I changed our position and placed him on the bed. He was taken aback by what I did, but I just got out of bed and spoke."If you don't get clothed and clean your body, your fever will only become worse."He lifted his hand to stop me, but it merely fell since he didn't have the strength any longer. Exiting the room, I proceed to the kitchen to collect a basin and a towel. I remembered what he reasoned to me while taking the basin. Even if he stated that, I didn't think it was proper for me to immediately trust what said because he had nothing yet to mention in our relationship. In the end, I could be hurt again.When I returned to the top, he was sound sleeping, wrapped in a blanket. I didn't want to wake him, however he came in from the rain. I didn't just make a noi
When I awoke, it was still pouring heavily, but I was no longer next to Lucas. I soon sprang from my slumber and groaned next to me. I glanced around and assumed he was simply standing there, but there was no other trace of him in the room save for the fragrance he left in my room. I bent on my knees and brushed my hair with my finger. The hefty boulder that I believed had vanished reappeared in my chest. I had no idea my tears were already falling. I believed we were alright, but we weren't.The scent of meals and the opening of the door interrupted my sobbing. When I turned around, I noticed he was still without wearing anything on his lower body. He appears to be a model who has to be painted. With a grimace on his face, he placed the tray on the side table. He sat next to me and hugged my head to make me stop weeping, but it only made me cry harder."I'm not going anywhere, so why are you crying?"I simply shook my head at him. How do I tell him that I'm so worried that everything
We're on our way to the workplace now, and my head is lying against the window. The rain has also stopped. He didn't come home yesterday, so we'll come to the office together today. I didn't even take my car, instead opting for his, despite the fact that I didn't have anything to use on the way home. I have no recollection of what occurred yesterday and have blindly accepted that this is how our situation is. I was about to walk down when I saw us approaching the building, but as we got closer, I noticed someone standing in front of the building opposite a car I recognized."Take me down here," I say, without looking at Lucas since I'm staring out the window at Fernan. I looked at Lucas when he didn't stop, and he only stared straight ahead. Even though I was irritated, I merely waited for him to stop the car.When he came to a halt, I hurriedly opened the door to return to where I had last seen Fernan. Who will he meet here? A woman whom he is courting does not work here. Perhaps he
