Marie was stunned and uneasy as her sight was drawn to his hands. She forcedly shut her eyes when she saw his hand move. She was so terrified waiting for him to stab the knife into her body that she even held her breath out of fear. Her skin was sweating cold while waiting.
"What’s happening?" Her mind asked her. She felt his finger slide through his ear, tucking a few strands of her hair behind. She could feel his warm breath in her ear and heard him ask, "relax! I’m not going to kill you. Have you ever forgotten that you are my best friend?"
She gently blinked her eyes open, realizing she was still alive. "Am I not dreaming? I—I’m still alive!" She murmured when she noticed Stephen had moved one inch closer to her. His lips twitched into a curve.
She looks at his hands, which are holding a piece of cutlery, and he moves his hand to offer her a seat to dine with him.
She terrifyingly decline
Hello, my dear readers! Thank you for adding my work to your library and checking it out, well appreciated! I hope you can add what you think of my work in the comment section below! Thank you!
Schina had finished her task before the lunch break had come. She went to the food court later than her officemates to have lunch.She was already exhausted after working for four hours in the morning when her body began to weaken due to the overload of work that her officemates had passed to her.She steps inside and searches for a place to sit, but the only available seat was near the glass wall where the rays of the sun were striking. She had no choice but to take it since the place was crowded.Schina quickly ordered her food. Holding a tray of her meal, she walked to her chosen spot. She placed her meal on the table and her bag as she sat, watching others finish their food and planning to change seats once they were finished, but after a couple of minutes had passed, no one was still coming out even though they were done.Schina had no other choice but to get started eating her foo
"Wha—at are you doing?" She was looking at his eyes intently."I—I" He was lost out of his words trying to look for an explanation.Shewaitedforhimtofinishhisremark,buthedidn'tappearto."Canyouletmego?Ihavetogobackimmediately"Shetookadeepbreathandswiftlydepartedtheroom."I will pick you up later!" He saw her pause for a second after hearing him shout. Axel watched her walk till she lost sight of him."Why is he acting strange lately?" She pondered as she returned to their office, but Sabrina stopped her before she could enter. She studied her colleague's reaction and could tell that she was in trouble."What’s wrong?" S
Schina was glancing at the two while they were staring at each other as they understood their silence. She was thinking that they might know each other but were afraid to talk."Schina, we need to go. Hurry, get in the car," he ordered while staring at Stephen."Mr. Andrews, see you tomorrow," she said cordially as she climbed into the car. Then he followed her, closing the door and directing his driver to go off right away."Move aside," Axel growled frustratingly.She did as he said and studied his reaction. His brow furrowed, his mouth pouted, and he inhaled deeply. "Hey, mister. What’s wrong with you?"She slowly moves next to his seat when he ignores her, cupping his face and flipping it in her direction, "what are you doing?" He sounded irritated, but she smiled at him and placed her thumb on his brow, massaging it."It will wrinkle
"Don't even think about drawing close to me or, more than likely I—I will hit you!!"Axel became more worried about her when he heard a shriek coming from upstairs. He speedily strolled up the steps and looked through her room. His heart race when he heard her shout once again, making him barge into her room without the slightest hesitation.He got truly concerned when he saw the wreck on the ground; the pads were thrown on it. He breathed deeply as he slowly raised his gaze on the master’s bed and found her standing on top of it.“What's wrong with you? – What are you doing here?!!” they said in chorus. Schina was puzzled seeing him standing in his room in the middle of the night. She needed to go down and alarm him with the hanger she's holding, however, she did not dare to do it since her opponent was as yet on the ground.Axel was stunned concentrating on the thing t
She was having difficulty coming up with an explanation in her thoughts and was beginning to blame herself for being impulsive and annoyed by her behavior towards him. She was being embarrassed in front of him, which made her look indirectly at him. She is unable to face him after what she has done. She desires to be eaten by the world to alleviate her shame. "What was the point of that?" He said gently, seeing how she sighed deeply and was still hesitant to respond, "answer me," he continued, waiting for her to admit that she like him! She was caught aback by his calm demeanor and attitude toward her. She realized that this serenity was not as easy as she had assumed. "I—I merely did it to see if I—" She takes an anxious pause. "If what?" He said this impatiently as he stepped closer to her. "I did it to see whether I fell in love with you..." Sh
"Stephen’s POV""Let's cut the chase. What do you want this time?" Marie boldly questioned. She sat down, folded her legs, and stared at me. I noticed her lips curling up. "If you're going to tell me that you're still going to attack Axel, I'm warning you, I'll be the first one to fight you," she growled.I giggle at her bravery "As far as I recall, you were trembling the previous time we met, but today you're full of confidence. Where did you get the guts to confront me? Huh?" I
Every step she took made her nervous and distressed, she slowly walk and wanted to stop the time. Her eyes were all on the ground, ignoring all the judgmental eyes of the people around her.She heard the annoying laughter of them all. She was aware that they were all discussing her. Her knees trembled as she approached her boss's office. Her heart is pounding!She cautiously lifts her hand to knock, but even before she could, the door opens, revealing the guy she is afraid to confront.
"AC’s POV"Today is my second week working for H Group of Companies Inc., I consider myself fortunate to have been accepted into such a respected organization. Luckily, my cousin, Axel, recommended me even though my grades aren't as good as others, and here I am honing my skills as an encoder.The employees have been treating me nicely since day one of working here, I heard that my cousin is the President and CEO of this firm, but I haven’t confirmed it to him yet. I didn’t know that he was wealthy, as I expected that he could afford to build his empire!I had seldom heard from my parents and relatives before that he was a talented and gifted man, but I didn’t know that he wasn't as simple as I thought, I was overwhelmed when I found out that he was a multi-millionaire!I chose to accept his proposition to grow closer to him and become his full-time employee without difficulty
