I smiled as I approached Kalex patiently waiting for me outside my workplace. I just finished my shift and if I were to calculate how many hours he has been waiting for me, I guess two hours.
I saw him crying earlier while I was in the middle of my work, so I immediately went out and soothe him. I don't know what made him cry that much because honestly, I didn't take him for a man with an onion- eye because of how he bring himself in front of many. It's so not him ya know and what's real bizarre is when I heard him say these words: "I should' have done something to save her."
Whom will he save? I mean, he's the sole person I've seen in here. No one is around him except me and it's creeping the hell out of me. Did he saw someone I'm not capable of seeing? Goodness gracious, he's so weird.
"Don't you feel stodgy while waiting for me?" I jested and laugh lightly.
He was silent and his expression was

Gwyneth’s POV"What the heck are you doing here?"I rubbed my temples, taking a deep breath just to relax my nerves and refrain myself from getting panic. My heart is pounding thrice the normal heartbeat, it's as if it'll come off my chest any moment now. I need to compose myself and device a better trick on how to get out of here because I’m sure I’ll be a dead meat if I messed up in front of this feiry lady."Are you hiding yourself from me?" I heard the nerd’s voice envelop the entire god-forsaken place making my heart beats fast. Oh my god! Spare me from death.I knew it! She really is the culprit.“Don’t be silly Gwyn. Why are you hiding in there?" Kalex made the situation even worse when he suddenly showed himself.Ugh! What am I supposed to do now?D*mn this onion-eyed guy, he even mentioned my fucking name without digesting my dilemma. What a mindless jerk!"Ouch!" I acted as if I sprained my left ankle.

Gwyneth’s POV“Gosh! After seeing the scores I got in our quiz earlier, I can say that I badly need an into to review so I could excel next time. It's pretty embarrassing seeing a glint of mockery in our classmates' eyes!" Zaina said, tugging her hair like an idiot while smacking her head down to her desk.We had a short quiz earlier and unfortunately, Zaina got the lowest score in our class. Now, she's kinda embarrassed since this is her first time being at the rock bottom. I'm just wondering, what's the difference does it make comparing her previous scores and her current one? It's kind of the same because she's mostly on second to the last spot or third to the last if we were to rank from highest to lowest score, I see no distinction at all. So, what was the fuss all about?"Your friend is quite weird." Quir murmured. He’s sitting next to me busy sipping his mouth-watering yogurt. So he's a yogurt guy huh.“Well, don’t mind her. It's her first time ranking as the least in our class

Gwyneth's POVI walk closer to Kalex after having his car door shut. “Shall we go?” I asked, trying to analyze what's on his mind based on how rigid his body posture is.He seemed so anxious about this whole thing. Why is it so?Earlier, while we were in front of some boutique, he told me that he wanted to terminate our contract. Of course, I strongly opposed to his sudden decision, because I'm afraid that I'll be shouldering a hefty compensation if ever he'll breach the contract after this. That's the most agonizing part of this whole thing, I get to enjoy the benefits I could get from this contractual thing but suffer the consequences after. I will be forced to return every penny I got from him plus, I had to pay him half the amount I receive. See? I'm gonna be equaled to a homeless man after this. How can the world be so cruel? Ugh.Good thing, he will take responsibility for ending the contract. Basically, I don't have to worry about the compensation at all in exchange for doing h

Gwyneth's POV"You really don't have an intention to defend yourself in front of those buttheads earlier?" I frowned at him, breaking the eerie silence between us. We've been silent for half an hour already and it's honestly irking the hell outta me. We're just peacefully watching the scenic view of the park while sitting on a bench, listening to the mellow chirping of the birds.After I've ruined the gathering an hour ago, we spotted this park not far from the restaurant. Upon sending his gloomy mood, I decided to bring him here to finally ask him what's bugging on my mind."I'm used to it." he simply answered and just shrugged his shoulder as if it's nothing."What do you mean?"He's used to it? So, does it mean that they have been throwing offensive words towards him for a long time? Why didn't he even fight back when he's known to be hubristic on our campus? Is he feigning to be lethal all this time to save his reputation? That he's actually too coward and can't afford to fortify

Gwyneth's POV"What's with your mood today?" Zaina asks me, grinning widely. She drummed her fingers on the table while leaning his elbow down, placing her head on her palm, as if patiently waiting for my reply.I smiled, shrugging off then place my tray on our table."Are you sure? You seemed so happy since this morning. Is it because you had dated Quir yesterday?" She guessed, trying to read my expression to see any hint of why I am in a good mood today."Nah. My dinner with Quir last night got canceled." I simply said, paying attention to my lunch.I started eating my lunch, but I can sense in my peripheral vision that Zaina is still looking at me. "Why?" I frowned.

Gwyneth's POVAfter what happened earlier, I went straight to the rooftop of the senior high building. I lost my appetite so there's no reason for me to stay there. But if I continue eating my lunch, I wouldn't be at ease because the bitchy Allaine was there and she'll surely make a scene again."Hey! What's up?"I glanced over my shoulder to see Kalex approaching me, hands on his pocket."What brings you here?" I then asked after he seated next to me.I just remembered what he did earlier. I don't know if what's gotten on him to behave those ways in front of his ex, me, and his friends— okay let's include my dear schoolmates on the list. He acted like a madman, trying

I've did everything just to get out of here, but looks like misfortune is haunting me now. If only I knew that I will be stuck here together with this jerk, and will not be able to take quiz this afternoon, I shouldn't attempted of going in here."Let me see, " he took my right hand and checked my knuckles.Obviously, he was looking for a motive to mortify me just like what he usually do."Tch..

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.

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
Emotionless Attachment Two Hundred and Forty Three
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
