Gwyneth’s POV
“Here is your food, MASTER,” I said, emphasizing the word ‘master’ to Kalex as I placed the tray of his food on the flat surface of the table.
“Where’s my drink?” He queried, making me annoyed than I was but I forced a smile, trying to show him my sincerest gesture of being a good friend of him.
“Of course I got your drink as well. Here,” I then placed the lemon juice next to his tray. I sat in front of him and cupped my face with my palm while both elbows leaning against the table as I look at him.
This lunatic punk fetched me earlier as soon my punishment ended and brought me here at the cafeteria just to serve him and bought him a meal, for he skipped eating his b
Gwyneth's POVI heaved a deep sigh before twisting the doorknob open. An irking sound of the door made the people inside turned a glance in my direction."Hi?" I greeted and smiled awkwardly."Who the hell permit you to step inside the room?"I was about to step forward when Allaine's voice echoed in the four corners of the room."I just want to know Kalex's condition and—""Well, he's fine now. Thanks for your concern. You may leave," she said, cutting me off.I don't like the way she stares at me."I
Gwyneth’s POV“Are you sure you won’t want us to take you to the hospital?” I asked Kalex. He’s currently laying on the bed while I am sitting on the stool beside him.“Don’t worry, I’m fine,” he said, earning an eye roll from me.“Psh! I am not worried about you, I am more worried for myself because if people find out that I am responsible for what just happened to you, then surely the blame will be on me if you get worsen,” I retorted then heaved a deep sigh.“Whatever you say,”I couldn’t afford the possibilities that might happen to him. If only he informed me that he has some kind of an a
Gwyneth’s POVIt was past six in the morning when I heard a constant knock outside my apartment, only to find out it was Quir. I rushed my morning routine just so he wouldn’t get bored while waiting for me to finish.“By the way, mom asked me to bring you tonight to our house for a simple dinner. She misses you so much and can’t wait longer to see you,” he said while gaze locked up on the road, driving our way to school.“What? Why you didn’t tell me sooner?”I don’t think so if I could be able to meet his parents for the first time as his girlfriend. I am not yet ready and even if I used meeting with my client’s parents, this is way more different. It’s not a job that I nee
Chapter58Gwyneth’s POV“Before diving to our main agenda, I just want to congratulate Maureen as our new Supreme Student Government President,” the class monitor announced and claps its hand, making the room loud because my classmate applause after her and congratulate Maureen as well.The results were out, showing that Maureen wins the majority of the votes from my fellow, the reason why she got the position as our new SSG President after Natalie, the former SSG President got expelled.“Thank you,” Maureen smiled, glancing at each and everyone as she shows her deepest sincerity of being thankful.“You’re always welcome, my Queen,”
Gwyneth’s POV“It’s a tad early, why not we go to KTV for a while and let ourselves enjoy?” Zaina suggested while we are currently on our way out of the mall. She just ended buying things for herself and took most of our time waiting for her to finish.“What do you think?” here she is, giving her best shot to put our time to waste again. When no one responded to her query, she then walks past by, leaving us behind. “Alright! The majority wins so we’ll gonna head our way to the KTV room,” she settled without verifying to us.Ugh, can someone stop her from this foolishness? I’m tired and just wanna go home.“Hey! Why not talk to your friend and remind her that we have other businesses asi
Gwyneth’s POV“Are you serious? Hell no!” I grumbled, crossing my arms over my chest as I gawked at Zaina.“Come on! We have no choice but to accompany them on their way home,” she insisted, earning an eye roll from me.I shifted my gaze to these three assholes in a long table, which were sitting and currently down, totally unconscious due to excessive intoxication. Zaina wants me to take care of Kalex and she’ll take good care of the rest. That’s what annoys me.After they made fun of me earlier, making my jaw almost dropped because of hearing Kalex blabber, I won’t and will never accompany them. Psh!“I’ll leave him to you, okay? Se
Kalex’s POV“D*mn! What should I supposed to do now?” I blurted, tugging my hair on the process after hearing what they just told me. “Did I really said those sh*t last night?” I clarified. I just can’t believe how stupid I was to say those.“Yeah, you did,” Yuki responded while eyes focus on his phone.I was drunk last night and don’t have an idea of what the f*ck just happened. I asked them about it and they told me the most horrible thing I ever have done. They said I admitted that I love Gwyn, like what the actual f*ck? I don’t even like her so why the hell would I tell that I love her?“You must be kidding! You guys were also drunk like I was,”
Third Person's POV"Guard my seat. I'll just look for something to eat outside," Zaina ordered Kalex as she stood up from their seat. The shuttle bus stopover in the famous traditional cafe, midway to their campsite."Tch,"Zaina went out of their bus, leaving Kalex alone inside. Their classmates were gone out and Males don't have a plan to follow them outside, for he was not in his greatest mood to join them.The moment he knew that Gwyn will not be able to join the camp, he suddenly felt annoyed, especially thinking of the idea that she was with Quir right now. He could actually punch someone on its face if that feeling boils up until he couldn't hold it any longer.A
Gwyneth’s POV"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Local time is ten past three in the afternoon and the temperature is 25 degrees Celsius ..."I can't help but to feel all the excitement as the crew announced that our plane landed. I've been peeking out the window for a while now because I really want to set foot in the Philippines again. It has only been six months, but it feels like forever since the day I've been here. I was excited to see Jase and Kalex. We video called almost every night and they also went to see me at Christmas. They stayed there for the whole holidays but it's not enough to compensate my longing for the two.The hard battle of homesickness!"Have a nice stay ma’am!" one of the crew greeted me before I went down on the plane. I gave her a smile.When I got off the plane, I went straight to a bus that the staff p
Gwyneth’s POVI woke up with the clamorous knocking on my door. I looked at my clock; it's already 11 in the evening. Who would bother to visit me at this time? I don’t even know why I was on my out to see me at this hour when in fact I still had to sleep because my flight will be early tomorrow at five in the morning. I was still yawning while rubbing my eyes as I walk to the door."Gwyn! Gwyneth! Are you there?!" My yawning stopped and my eyes widened when I heard Kalex's loud voice. I immediately ran towards the door thinking that something might have happened to Jase."Kalex?" he was sweating and gasping as he put his hands on his knees to support himself. He's wearing his usual sleeping clothes, his jersey short and a white cotton shirt. "What are you doing here? Why are you gasping?""I ... took ... the ... stairs." He said as his chest is heaving from the gasps. It took me a second
Kalex’s POV"What's up?" Demitri asked as he sits in front of me. I asked him if he could come because I needed someone to talk to. I need someone who could knock some sense out of me. "Where's Jase?""Upstairs. Sleeping." I replied before I took a sip from the glass of whiskey in my hand. I know he's waiting for me to start talking but I fucking don't know where to fucking start."It's about Gwyneth, isn't it?" He asked when I didn't say anything. My chest tightened by the mere sound of her name. I miss her. I miss calling out her name and how she smiles at me in the morning."She's ... she's leaving tomorrow." I said in a low voice as I remember what she said five days ago. I don't even know how long she'll be gone. I was afraid to ask.My mind went crazy by just the thought of her leaving with that fucker and all I ever said to her was that she doesn't need to worry ...
Kalex’s POV"Mommy you're going with us tomorrow, right?" Jase asked Gwyn again as he draws on his book. I peeked at my son's ipad to see Gwyn's face. She's as beautiful as ever."Yes baby, how many times have you asked me that already? You silly kid!" I can't help but to chuckle as I chop the vegetables for our dinner. Jase quickly glanced at me and grinned."I'm just reminding you mommy in case you forget." I shook my head. Jase just reminded Gwyn for the third time in fifteen minutes since they started talking.He was actually referring to her school activity. Since it's family day, parents are requested to attend the said event with their child at school. Jase has been talking about it since he learned that Gwyn and I are both going. I refuse to be absent on his first family day.They talked for an hour. I love hearing their voice and their funny conversations, especial
Gwyneth’s POV"Why are you so quiet?" Quir asked me as we ride the elevator. I was on my way down earlier when I ran into him and he asked me to have lunch with him."Jase is with Kalex now and I don't have anything to do because I've already made all the proposals for my next event. I just need to submit." I sighed.This has always been my problem ever since Kalex and I had an agreement. When Jase isn't by my side I can't do anything so I usually just read a book until I fall asleep. Everything's just boring whenever Jase's not at home.Quir and I decided to eat outside the company. Sometimes the food is also boring because the menu is almost always the same."So I was thinking, how about we go out tonight?" He asked as we eat at one of our favorite place near the hotel. It's delicious here in case there's majesty so we only eat here when new wages.
Gwyneth’s POV"Excellent job, Gwyn." I beamed at as he opened his arms and I ran towards him to hug him. He picked me up and turned me around."I did it!" I shouted at him and we were both laughing. "The senator loved the theme for the party ... he loved everything."They even popped a confetti for me. One of our officemates opened a bottle of wine to celebrate and gave me one. "Cheers to Gwyneth!"After months of preparing one of the biggest events of the year, I'm just so glad I finished the job. Who would have thought that I would host a politician's birthday party?I've been the event manager of big business men in the country but the aura is still different when your clients are influential in the Philippines. I met the president, the vice president, and even celebrities last night! That’s how big was the event that I organized and I'm happy to see the proud look
Gwyneth’s POV"Sorry you had to wait." Kalex said as he took the seat in front of me. I stared at him intently while calling the server to give him coffee.Short stubbles are starting to grow on his chin. There are bags under his eyes and his hair is too long. To some, I'm sure he looked fine, but I know him too well to see that he's not. That's not the Kalex I know. These past few days must've been hard for him.I was making it hard for him."What do you want to talk about?" He asked after his coffee was served in front of him. His eyes made its way to mine, but then he immediately looked away. To this day he still can’t look at me."I'll go straight to the point." He nodded as he mixed his coffee. "I heard you ... at the bar. I heard what you said to Demitri." That made him look at me.His eyes are full of guilt that confirmed that everything I
Gwyneth’s POV"Quir?" He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that I'm okay."You scared me back there." He said and shook his head."I'm sorry. She just came out of nowhere." Said a man approaching us. He seems to be the driver of the car. He helped us stand up. "I really didn't see you." The man approached me. "Are you hurt? Should I bring you two to the hospital?""No. We're fine." Quir replied with a smile and then they talked. He glanced at me before shaking hands with the driver who said goodbye."So, what are you doing here besides killing yourself?" He joked. I was embarrassed to close my eyes because of his question."I haven't seen it." Is this man like everyone who sees me like this? I looked up at him when he chuckled. Since Quir is much taller than me he put his hands on top of my head and beamed at me."Let's get some
Gwyneth’s POVI walked into the building and went straight to Kalex's office. I can sense all those stares from the people here. I know others here know me because I was once Kalex’s high school friend. Maybe that’s also the reason why some of them were staring at me.I just ignored them because I have nothing to do with them anyway. I came here because of Kalex and they weren’t my goal. I also hate people looking at me, as if spotlight was pointing at me as of this moment. It looks like I’ll be their topic once I turned my back at them. These dumb as* has really nothing to do instead of focusing on their work. Tch.While walking to Kalex’s office I came across a kid chasing a ball. He was running and not looking to where he's going so I tried to avoid but he still collided with me, causing him to fall to the floor. Awts. His back must be hurt.“A
