The Two Male Leads Fell At First Sight

I woke up with a slight throbbing headache. The sunlight shone through the window casting its soft rectangular room on the floor.

 I got out of bed and let the showers wash away my sorrows.

 In the original scene, Luna didn't try to make a phone call to Adrian. She didn't cry the next day. Rather, she decided to put him in her rearview mirror the next day and go to work as if nothing happened.

 I turned off the shower and came into the room and got dressed for work since it was Monday.

 My mouth watered at the fresh aroma of the bacon, chicken, and cheese Kate was making.

 Once I was finished dressing, I headed to the living room where Kate was already setting the table.

 Her pretty big eyes, which the heartless author gave her, widened in shock as she saw me already dressed in work attire.

 “You're going to work?” She asked in astonishment as she stood staring at me.

 “Of course,” I answered taking a seat. Then I began to stuff my face. “Don't tell me you think I'll be here doing nothing but cry and think about that jerk.”

 “But… The vice president already gave you a week off.” Kate protested worriedly, “Why don't you use the time to heal?”

 “There's nothing to heal about, Kate. Adrian isn't worth my tears.” I said, “Please sit down and get dressed. We don't want to be late on Mr Gray’s first day as the CEO.”

 Yes! I forgot!

 After my ruined wedding, one of the three male leads that were to chase after Kate was introduced the next day. And he is Lucas Gray, the rich, prominent, and aloof CEO who will be taking over the family's company. He had been abroad all these while studying abroad, but he just came back and will begin to handle the affairs of the company.

 According to the novel, he had fallen for her at first sight when he had seen her reprimanding a rich jerk who was also another of the main male characters.

 “Okay,” Kate said in a resigned tone, “If you say so.”

 She sat and began to eat with me.

 We ate in awkward silence and after a while, Kate finished eating and headed to the bathroom.

 Twenty minutes later, we were already done and on our way to work and we were late as it was.

 In the middle of the road, the cab suddenly broke down.

 The driver tried to start the engine but it wouldn't start. Nothing was wrong with the frickin car! It's just the way the author wanted it to be!

 “What's wrong Mister?” Kate asked, her face etched with worry.

 The driver turned and said apologetically, “I'm sorry ladies. The car just broke down.”

 “What? But we're already late!” Kate said in distress.

 “I'm terribly sorry ladies.” The driver apologized once more.

 “What do you mean you're so sorry!” I exclaimed, “Don't you know it's Monday? And getting a cab on Mondays is just like finding a goddamn needle in a fucking haystack!”

 This was how the author portrayed Luna after her shameful wedding. A sad, pained bitch!

 “Hey, Luna, there's no need to curse,” Kate said defending the driver. “It's not the man's fault. Allow me to apologize on behalf of my friend. She isn't always like this.”

 Yeah! The female lead is always perfect.

 “It's okay, ma'am.” The driver said, “No hard feelings.”

 We got out of the cab.

 “Why did you have to curse at the poor man.?” Kate asked. “You know it wasn't his fault."

 “Okay, I'm sorry.” I apologized.

 "You know you can still stay home if you want."

 "Kate, I'm okay," I said adamantly. “I just need to keep myself busy."

 "I understand, just know that I'm here for you, okay?"

 Yes, Author's favorite, I know that!

 I nodded.

 “Come on, let's go."

 And then we half ran to the zebra cross.

 I know what will happen next.

 The pedestrians were given a green light to pass, and on our way crossing, a recklessly speeding car drove towards us, ignoring the red light, its honk blaring noisily and nearly running through Kate, who was at the front.

 Kate stood rooted on the floor, her face etched with terror. She had nearly gotten killed just now!

 Her terror turned into rage.

 She angrily walked up to the car and knocked on her window. I stood behind her as I watched the window roll down.

 Sitting behind the driving wheel was one of the male leads, a tall, charming man with blonde hair and gray eyes. He was Christopher Barnes, the spoiled rich brat. He was the one whom Kate had reprimanded for his recklessness, causing the other male lead, Lucas Gray, to fall for her.

 Because I had read the novel, I knew that Lucas Gray was seated in his chauffeur-driven car among the cars here waiting for the signal, watching as this scene took place. I also knew that Lucas Gray wasn't the only one who had fallen for Kate at the scene. The man she had reprimanded, Christopher Barnes had also fallen for her.

 “Hey!” Kate yelled at Christopher, “Are you blind or something? Did you not see the signal? You nearly hit me for God's sake!”

 Christopher's disdainful and unapologetic eyes glanced at Kate, “You're not hurt are you? I don't see what the problem is here.”

 “Excuse me?” Kate gasped in surprise, “How dare you…”

 Then he shoved a business card to Kate's face, “If you're looking to milk this for all it's worth, I'm sure my lawyer would love to hear from you.”

 More shock materialized on Kate's face. She felt utterly insulted.

 And then she did the unthinkable, throwing caution to the wind, she angrily stomped on Christopher Barnes’ car tire with her wheel, bursting it.

 “What the hell?” Christopher yelled, angrily. “Are you crazy?”

 “No, you're the one who's crazy, asshole!” Kate retorted, “Next time, watch where you're driving!” 

 Everyone watched in excitement.

 “Damn! That was dope!”

 “Ooh! She's sassy!”

 “And feisty!”

 “I like her already!”

 “She's my type!”

 I guess this is when Luna realized her hatred for Kate since the wedding.

 Everyone liked her.

 If it was Luna who did this, would she receive these praises?

 I began to feel jealous. Why did everyone like her? Was she better than me?

 Why does her red hair have to be so flawless? Why did she have to look so pretty? Why does her skin have to be so smooth? With her big bold eyes!

 Why, Author? Why?

 Then, to me, she turned and said, “Come on, Luna, let's go.”

 Following the original scene, I walked away, trailing behind Kate as Christopher Barnes, alongside Lucas Gray, watched.
