Gwyneth’s POV
“You lock up yourself this whole day,” I gazed at the door when it suddenly opened and happens to be Kalex was the one who opened it. “The gangs were partying outside,” he added, making me stared back at my phone because I am not interested about what he was talking.
“I am not in the mood to join you guys,” I just said without looking at him.
He’s right. After what happened this morning, I didn’t dare to get out of my room or even glanced at what they are busying at because I do not want to cause any more trouble.
“Wanna go island hopping tomorrow morning?” he then asked, trying to divert my attention but he failed even to get a single glimpse from me.
“I’m tired,”
“You’ll going to sleep later anyway,” he keeps talking to me thought it’s o
Gwyneth’s POV“What are you doing?” I confusingly asked when I went inside Zaina’s room and saw her packing he things as if wanting to leave this island.“I’ll be leaving this island. Wanna come?” She turned a glimpse at me but then focused her attention to what she was currently doing.I walk towards her direction and sat on her bed as I watched her busying herself.“What about Yuki? Have you already informed him?” I once again asked, just incase she forget to tell him, so I reminded her.“For what? That Samantha and b*tch Rhian is getting into my nerves?” She changed the subject, making me nod for I already know the reas
Gwyneth’s POVI folded my arms across my chest while eye-viewing my friends who were currently having a good time near the shoreline. They were happy without even minding what’s going on between the tension yesterday. Well, I cannot blame them because they were still okay even, I am not near beside them.I shifted my gaze to where Kalex and his so-called secretary Rhian is. Kalex was fixing Rhian’s life-vest while laughing and talking about something which I don’t know. I am sure that Rhian girl were now jumping deep inside her because so much happiness.I stared at them for about a minute when Rhian’s gaze turned to my direction. Supposedly, I should avert my gaze however I continued staring at them. I saw her lifted the corner of her lips as if smirking at me and to my surprise, she’s now walking straight to my direction.What’s gotten into her
Gwyneth’s POV“I decided to stay here for good,” Lore stated and sipped a coffee, wearing a long face making me doubt if what’s gotten on her?I thought she was just here for a vacation, how come she decided to stay here for good? What about our newly job at Auckland? Was she planning to leave me there?“What’s with the sudden decision? What about our job?” I asked, hoping that she could give me a valid reason why she decided staying here that easily.“My mom would like me to help her manage her not so big business,” she replied, showing how she feel disgusted because of this idea, earning a laugh from me.She’s not fond of… let’s say, though her family known worldwide because they are the major manufacturer of fabric around the globe, they as well owned the largest clothing line and her parents even listed
Gwyneth’s POV“Hey?” I heard a constant knock at the door, making me opened it despite feeling skeptical.“W-What?” I asked when I peeked outside and saw Kalex“Use this,” He lends me a paper bag, making me feel more awkward than I was.“T-Thanks,”“I bought you extra clothes and sa… s-sanita… nevermind. Just check what’s inside,” he said, and I saw how his face flushed before he turned his back at me.I closed once again the door and leaned my back at the door, then slowly crouch on the floor of this comfort room. Why I suddenly got into this kind of
Gwyneth's POV"Where have you been yesterday?" Zaina asked with folded arms across her chest as soon as I got out of my room, making me almost jump out of surprise.What the heck is she doing here? It’s so early in the morning and I just finished fixing myself, then all of a sudden, she appeared like a ghost who use to frighten every people this so early.“Were you with Kalex yesterday?” she raised her voice, forming an arched shaped in her brow.This totally made me creased my head in confusion. What’s with her today? Maybe she forgot to drink her medicine before coming all the way here to my house and act like a mad girlfriend. What does she was trying to point out this time?
Gwyneth's POV“How is he feeling?”"How is he feeling?" I immediately asked when the doctor came out of the room where Kalex was confined.I didn’t really know what I was going to do before. Fortunately, Zaina was still at the black phoenix's house, so we rushed Kalex to the hospital."How are you patient?"I don't know, but I don't seem to want to speak with my own mouth. I do not know what to answer to the doctor's question.Should I say that the patient is my 'ex' ??or 'I'm his secretary'is that possible?"I'm a friend---""She's his wife"I frowned at Zaina next to me. What 'She's his wife' is he saying ??"Cool .. do you know Tagalog?" Zaina asked him curiously, while he was still holding both arms of the
Gwyneth's POV“Head in first. Something came up so I badly need to go,” Quir said, feeling anxious of about something I do not know. We are approaching the hospital’s entrance when his phone suddenly rang and then after the call, that’s how he acted strangely.“Why? What happened?” I asked out of worried because I sense that something is up and that’s what made him act anxious.
Gwyneth’s POV“Bye. We’re leaving,” I said goodbye to Kalex’s mom as I took Yumiko’s left hand, signaling that we will about to leave. “Are you not going to wait until lunch is serve?” she asked and her eyes landed at Yumiko. “What about my baby Yumiko? My baby must be hungry,” she said in a soothing tone and pinched Yumiko’s cheeks, making her giggled which made her look cute even more.
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
