"You're aware that your performance for the past two months was atrocious, right?" Gerard confront me, and disppointment plastered on his face as he looked at me, making me lower my gaze due to embarrassment.
I am fully aware of what he is referring to. Disappointment is actually an understatement for everything. I handled three projects and all of those went on disaster, not even a single event went successful. Even I was so disappointed of my performance because I know I could have done better if only I did my best and concentrated on what has to be done rather than being distracted of Kalex's presence.
I have done everything not to cross path with him. I didn't even accept the project related to his company, but fate has its own way and still let him cross his path on mine. Who would think that he has a connection with all of my clients? From being a friend, a stock holder of the other and whatsoev

Gwyneth's POVI went to the Fuevo Corporation to see Alex. He said he has a list of some people who knows how to make decorations. He is also the one who takes care when their company has an event because he is Kalex' assistant. I also agreed to go to him because he said his boss was out of town.“Girl! How's your morning?" He said as he walked closer to me and greeted me to kiss. I was thirty minutes early in the time we agreed to meet."Are you busy? I can wait." I actually woke up really early because I wanted to do the work because I didn't want to disappoint Gerard."Of course not. I don't do anything so boring without sir." I was about to say something when his eyes suddenly went wide as if he was shocked at the person behind me. "Shit."

Gwyneth's POVI turned around when I felt someone behind me but I knew immediately who it was. I smiled at Kalex, but he didn't smile back at me. He just stared at me and I know that kind of look that he's giving me."Kalex, come on. I'm not going to kill myself." I tried to cracked a joke at him but he remained serious. I rolled my eyes. "Just because the man that I've loved for a decade is getting married doesn't mean that I should end my life. I should be happy for him ... and I am."I turned my back at him and looked at the sea of lights below. we are here today on the rooftop of the hotel where Quir’s company anniversary party was held. I am very happy for him because after years of proving to everyone that he can handle the company, he has finally proven something. i was really happy ... until he decided to propose to Gretchen.&nb

Gwyneth's POV"Why are you here?" I raised an eyebrow at Kalex when he arrived at the restaurant where we were supposed to be meeting for the Vogel Corporations event. Alex just waved his hand at me."Alex would you mind sharing to Ms. Presley the reason why we are here?" said Kalex arrogantly. Alex nodded and just smiled at me as I gave him a bad look."The only person in front of you now is the Vice President for operations of Vogel Corporations." I was stunned. Vice President? how did that happen when in fact he holds Fuevo Corporations?"H-ha?" How did he become the VP of the company that Callas parents owned? But Vogel Corporations manufactures food! I know Kalex is good at running a company because even though he is that smart, but how is he? They're not even related!

Gwyneth's POV"Kalex! Will you please let me go?" I tried to remove his hand that is tightly gripping my wrist. I really dont understand what makes him furious all lf a sudden. I know I ruined the wedding, but that was nothing to do with him. What's the big deal with him?"You're hurting me!" I yelled, being serious on my tone.He harshly let go of my hand, and I then caressed it as I check where he swollen part is. I saw him turning his back and see how he held a deep breathe. He's trying to calm his self after almost leaving a scar on my wrist. Tch. I don't have time for this. I badly need to go back to the wedding."Don't dare going back there!" he shouted when I motioned to the way back to church.I ignored him, not minding how mad his voice was. I need an update of what's going on now. I wonder if the wedding will still continue after putting a show just a while ago.&n

Gwyneth's POVI woke up to the sound of my cellphone. I looked at my clock, it's already eleven in the evening and I was sleeping. I was so sleepy that I didn't know where I had put my phone so I dug into the bed and looked for where it was before answering the call without even looking at who the caller was."Hello?" I heard someone coughed. I looked at the screen. It's Kalex. we exchanged numbers last time so that when he or I have a question about the party we can easily talk but it's been a few weeks and at least once we haven't texted or called each other."Alex. Bring me some food. I'm here in my condo." My forehead furrowed. Why is he calling me Alex? i heard another cough."Kalex? I'm sorry. You called the wrong person. I'm not Alex." I never heard him speak again but the call was s

Gwyneth's POV"Good afternoon Sir!" Alex greeted Kalex when he arrived at his office. I've been here before and discussed with Alex about the party. Kalex looked at me and I averted my eyes.Kalex got sick last night, I didn't expect him to come in right away now, so I coordinate with Alex first when it comes to work since a week from now is the party. I'm here to finalize the invitations before we send it to the invited guests."Good afternoon Alex. Gwyn." he greeted the both of us. I just nodded at him and forced a smile."How are you feeling sir?" Alex greeted him with a smile."Fine ... I guess." Kalex frowned as he looked at Alex."It's fine and you're feeling fine.I thought you couldn't c

Gwyneth's POVI tried to stand up but my eyes just rolled and I felt like I was going to throw up with too much dizziness. If I just had s*x I would really think I was pregnant. But no. I have been a untouchable for about five years.My thermometer alarmed and when I looked at it. My temperature raised to 37.9 degree celsius. okay. It's not that high. I can do this. I can't get sick now because the party will be held tonight. I have to take care of everything.I went to the hotel and made sure that everything is perfect. I won't let you slap me now. This is my time to redeem myself."Hey, are you okay?" Gretchen asked me and held my arms. "Oh my gosh! You're sick!""I'm fine, you have nothing to worry about. Besides, this won't

Gwyneth's POVIt was still dark as I opened my eyes. I looked around, I and knew I was in Kalex's room. I saw the time from his alarm, it's only 2 a.m. I sat down when I saw that my suit was different. I'm wearing a silk spaghetti strap nightdress. It was mine. He bought it for me when I used to sleep here. He hasn't thrown it away yet.I breathed a sigh of relief when I noticed that I was still wearing my bra and panties. Maybe later something happened to us that I just forgot. I don't want to imitate Kalex and make re-enactments.I looked at the door. The door was slightly open and I could see the light from the corridor, I could also hear Kalex's voice but I couldn't quite understand. I got up and walked out.As I walk to where he is by following his voice, the more I hear what he is say

Emotionless Attachment Epilogue
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
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
