It was unexpected to see Neil here in the same place as I am. We ended up buying a hot bun each then we sat at one of the empty tables in the food court and ate it while drinking a fruit shake.
"The man was busy. There's nothing that you can do about it," Neil said after I told him what happened.&nbs
His deep set brown eyes took my breath away. My hands were holding on his shirt as his hands were on my waist, holding me downwards. I didn’t know what happened but it felt like the time had stopped. After a few seconds of him staring through me, he pulled me up, enough for me to stand on my own then his hands left my waist. I immediately reached the railings for me not to fall down again.
I woke up from the sound of the car's door that was opened by Neil. I found myself still sitting on the passenger's seat with my head rested at the window and a thick jacket which appears to be Neil's placed on my body."You fell asleep," he said a
I arrived at the campus after Neil called me that we have another client. I mean, I still couldn't forget what I did last night to Neil, okay? But it feels like it was just nothing . . . to him."So you told him that you'll marry him and you're not serious about it. But he assumed that you like him?"
When I came back to the FHR, I told Neil about what I discovered with Avery, our client earlier, and her boyfriend."So it was her boyfriend that had the main conflict here. She didn't tell us because she was obviously afraid o
When I arrived home, I received messages from John this morning while I was dealing with the Avery case. I haven't got a chance to open my messages earlier that was why I only saw it just now.
Me and Carl did our best to bring Avery and Roderick to the FHR but it turns out that Roderick got pissed off and shouted at Carl.
Me and Neil separated ways as soon as we arrived at the campus’ main gates. I glanced at my phone and saw John’s message that he was on his way. But for some reason, I didn’t feel a bit of excitement. My mind was still on what Neil said earlier before we separated ways. I wonder if the person that he was talking about was the woman in his picture at his desk in FHR. Because if it was, then that was fucked up. So many questions that I wanted to ask Neil but I nev
I went to the campus the next day and I told Neil the news about John's offer about working in the mansion where he works at. He didn't say anything and just left me at FHR which is kinda odd of him. So I'm guessing that he's not gonna let me work with others either, which he should've told me on my first day so at least I can decide whether to work with him or not.
Chapter 39After Jessel left the mansion, we decided to let her stay at my house for a while. It was a bit overwhelming to her at first since she was used with simple households. But she got through it eventually. And we became best bestfriends because
We were standing at the office as John closed the door behind us. Mr. Kronos took a seat on his desk, wearing a frown on his face.
“Ella! Wait!”Jessel wasn’t able to stop me until we arrived at the mansion. She chased
Me and Jessel met at a coffee shop. We took a table where there were no people around. She was wearing her sunglasses since the sun was a bit strong and it was a good thing that there was an umbrella above us so we're not bothered too much with the sun's heat.
I didn't tell Neil that I got fired from the job. In fact, I've been lying to him through the texts.Neil
Chapter 34I was woken up when I didn't hear the car's engine anymore. I wiped my saliva that fell from my mouth as I got up from leaning against the window and looked everywhere. I noticed that we were parked in front of my house and Neil was grinning
The touch of his soft lips wrapped against mine as my eyes closed while I felt his hand slid on my cheek, warming me up. It felt like the whole world around us stopped and the kiss took slow as I could feel his lips. When our lips slowly parted, our eyes slowly opened as I held his gaze into mine. My heart was racing as I felt my cheeks blushed and my whole body warmed. It was a soft and gentle kiss. And it is my first time.
We arrived at the movie theater and watched the movie Mulan. We enjoyed the movie since we were both fans of it.
Weekend has passed and it was the day for me and Neil to meet at the mall to watch another movie that we have been waiting for. I dressed up in a blue blouse and denim skirt with combat boots. Tied my hair into a bun then wore a lip tint and powdered my face a little bit. I stared at myself through the mirror and I realized that I just made myself a bit too pretty, just for Neil. I mean, why not?
