“What are you doing?” he asked me once again with his serious and deadly voice.
I followed where his gaze landed and it was on Ryle’s hand supporting me not to fall. Fortunately, I manage to composed back myself and hurriedly distance from Ryle.
“T-Thanks,” I muttered as I stuttered.
"Be careful next time, you look like a child." Ryle said seriously and returned to his seat.
I sneezed again to get rid of the nervousness. I just smiled at Ryle, then Kalex faced me. I stood up and approached him.
"A-ah ..." I stuttered at the beginning. "You are not in? What are you doing here?" I asked next.
He sighed and his tongue played inside his bottom lip a bit, and then seriously faced me.
"Lunchtime, I will accompany you." He replied coldly.
I nodded sadly. Is he angry?
I looked at my wrist watch to see the time.

Gwyneth’s POV“How’s work?”I almost went shocked when Kalex suddenly spoke. As I composed back myself, I then closed the door before I gazed at him and answered him back.“You’re earlier than usual,” I simply said but he just raised his brow as if I just spilled the wrong tea. “Uh... nothing’s new and I am working just fine,” I added, forcing a smile as I tried my best to satisfied him with my response.Psh. Why is he even here and looks as if trying to interrogate me?“Is that all? What about your new partner? Having a new room? Doesn’t you feel strange with the sudden changes?” He queried more like in a sarcastic tone.Argh. What is he trying to point out? Psh. I really don’t like what’s running on his mind.“Err... well, i

Gwyneth’s POV“Hey?” Ryle called me in the middle of our work.I looked at him and raised my brow then asked him “What’s the matter?”“If you don’t mind me asking, who’s that man you were with yesterday?”I paused for a moment and think about his question. Whom is he pertaining to? Was he talking about Kalex? Uhm... Kalex is the sole man I was with yesterday.“It’s Kalex. Why did you ask? Do you to know him by any chance?” I asked him back.“No, not at all. But are you to related to each other? I mean, a family related rather?”“He’s my husband.

Gwyneth’s POV“Hey, Gwyn. Are you free this Friday night?” He caught my attention so before I answered to him, I first think for a moment,“Why do you ask? Maybe I’ll do overtime,” I responded.“What overtime are you talking about? It’s company’s Christmas party,” he laughed as if there is something to laugh at.“So?”The hell I care with Christmas party? All I know is that I will be busy and not planning to join them.“You’ll be my date,”“I decline,” I answered back and went back to what I was doing.Kalex and I will be very busy this coming holiday.

Gwyneth’s POV“Eat your food,” Kalex is still trying to forced me to eat, but no matter how delicious the food is, I still won't eat because I felt like there's something blocking my throat. "Why do you not wanna eat? Because he's here?" he asked, full of judgement in his tone.What is he trying to say? Tch, this jerk is totally out of his mind.I glared at him while folding my arms across my chest. "What about you? You also won't eat because she's here, right?" I asked him the same question but I made sure to put some sarcasm on it.Does he really think that he could throw the sarcasm on me? Psh, as if I would let that happen. Tch.He gave me a puzzled look."What? I don't get you.""Never mind."I simply looked at the two in front of us. They're both looking in front, the program is starting. I was a little surprised when Ryle suddenly tur

W-what did you say?"He then chuckled but the pain in his eyes were so obvious, even a kid could tell how does he feel."I said, merry Christmas and happy new year.""A-Ah ..." why does he have to lie? Does he really think that I didn’t know what does he meant? Tch. "tch, let's go home, let's just go back tomorrow." I just said that.He nodded and took my hand out. He first locked it again and hid the key."I'll give you your spare keys, later.""Okay."I already have the key of our house, and we plan to move on to the start of the new year. It’s a new year, new life. Then that day we just went back to normal, as if nothing had happened or happened. I also think, maybe if I said I understand what he said something would change.

Gwyneth’s POV“D*mn! My head hurts,” I heard Kalex complained the next day. He removed his hand that was hugging me, making me turn to him and faced him.“Tch. Serves you right. You can’t even help yourself after drinking all the liquor,” I said, more like a lectured."Sorry, what time did I arrived last night?" he asked.“Two o’clock? Or maybe three in the morning? I am not really that sure because I just woke up last night because of your loud bang on the door. Psh.” I rolled my eyes."Are you mad?""Probably. What do you think?" I raised my brow, showing a slight bit disappointed."Gwyn..."“What? Don’t you hear me? Tch.” I hurried got up from our bed and get out of the room.I plan not to cook breakfast, but since I am als

Gwyneth’s POV"Hey ...""I told you not to act like that!" I said angrily to Kalex."I was just shutting my mouth just a while ago not until..." He defended himself."Shut up!" I finally said, cutting his words off.He nodded but then formed a smirk on his lips. I just ignored him and turned my attention back to work. I have too much to do, I do not have time to talk.Because maybe no one could talk, Kalex just chose to go out. Better yet, think coz it looks distracting. It only took a few minutes for him to return, carrying food. Suddenly my stomach boiled."What's that?" greedy!"Lasagna and spaghetti." He smiled in response.He knows what make me stop to what I am doing- foods, especially lasagna and spaghetti. He laid the food on the bed and he himself closed my laptop, he put it aside."Let's eat, I know you're still hungry." He said and devilishly smiled.I don't moan anymore. I'm really hungry.

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.

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
