[katalina]

My body froze. Someone spoke behind me.

Not just an ordinary one. But it was my boss. Hunter.

His stares boring holes in my back.

I swallowed a lump in my throat.

“Amanda.”

One word. Just him, uttering my name.

It arouses and unlocked something inside me that I never felt in a long time.

A new feeling.

It makes me wish that the ground would open and swallow me alive.

Preston effortlessly looked at him.

I could see from my peripheral vision how Preston smirked. “Hello, Sir.”

That’s my cue to look at my boss.

Behind him was Ian. Smiling from ear to ear while eating a new batch of popcorn. “God, this is more interesting in real life than watching in cinemas!” he chortled.

Hunter didn’t glance at anyone else.

Nor does he have an interest to remove his stares from me.

“I brought you here for a reason,” Hunter’s jaw clenched.

My forehead began to sweat profusely.

I don’t need a mirror to see how the color of my face drained.

All of a sudden, Preston butted in. “It was me who insi

    [katalina]I kept my eyes focused on Ian’s lips.The anticipation of knowing Hunter’s welfare makes me nervous.My world was in slow motion when I heard from Ian that Hunter might be sent to the hospital.“He’s locked himself inside. And he was burning hot last night when we arrive home,” Ian informed.“Did you give him some aspirins or ibuprofen?”Ian shook his head. “He’s a hard-headed. I’ve seen him once under the influence of fever. And it’s not good,” he shook his head. “Not good,” he emphasizes.“Take me to him.”I’ve never been this worried in my whole life.Ian drove the car as fast as he can.It didn’t take long before we arrived at Hunter’s mansion.It seemed like a usual sunny day. But as I stepped inside the mansion, I could feel something is wrong.Immediately, my feet led me to Hunter’s bedroom. Ian was behind me all along.I knocked on the door. “Hunter? Hunter? Are you awake? Open the door now,” I bombarded him with questions.Silence was the response.Leaning my ear c

    [katalina]Ian closes the door.There was a moment of silence.I didn’t move or speak.The blanket slowly unfolds. Revealing a weak Hunter.As our gazes met, he clicked his tongue. “I told you to leave.”Annoyance is audible in his tone.I place the food tray on the night lamp.And sat next to him. “Good morning,” I greeted him with a smile.An eye roll was his response to me.Hunter was about to hide under the blankets… again.But I stopped him. “Wait!”He sighed in irk. “You’re getting on my nerves,” he said in a hoarse voice.I find it amusing. Even if he’s weak, he still manages to pull an attitude.I placed the back of my palm on his forehead.“You’re hot.”“Inborn, I guess.”I smiled.Slowly, the corners of his lips curved into a placid smile too.“I still don’t want you here,” Hunter made it clear.A nod was my response.“I know. But I want to be here.”“You left me the bleachers when I was horseback riding.”“You’re letting a girl snake in your arms as if that’s pleasing in my

How’s your sleep?” he asked, smiling.“G-Good,” stammering as I responded.His aura is different now.Contrasting to how his aura was a while ago.I placed the back of my palm on his forehead.He wasn’t burning hot at all.“Did you take your meds?” I asked him.Hunter shook his head.And gaze at the food tray I prepared.It was untouched.It remained as is to how I prepared

Okay, let’s say that you did a press conference. Okay. But what’s the essence? Your exposé came out first than your press con? And the people would not just hate you as well.
