Carlos sat on his bed the next morning as he stares at Triffany who was still asleep on the couch. She had ignored him all through last night.
"So much for sleeping together." He sighed and walked close to her. He sat down across the couch she lay and watched her.
Triffany opened her eyes as if knowing someone had been staring at her, she was surprised to see him there. "You're up." He asked with a thin smile.
Triffany sat down and yawns with her eyes closed and facing Carlos. She opened her eyes and stretched her arms. She looked at Carlos who still has his eyes on her.
"You don't have to watch me sleep. A lady who loves a man wouldn't dare to yawn in his presence." She felt that he was doing all he was doing because of her confession yesterday.
"And about yesterday, it is a dream to me." She got up from the couch to leave.
"Okay," Carlos said with his deep voice and also got up. "Get dress."
Triffany turned to face him with a frown.
Carlos sat down on a chair and picked up a magazine, Triffany frowned, now he was acting like a gentleman.“Ma’am please this way. You need a massage and toning.” The staff told her as Triffany followed her lead.A few minutes later, they came out, Triffany was wearing a robe as they lead her to a seat by the dresser mirror. Carlos will glance up from the magazine from time to time to look at her, with a thin smile on his lips.They finished her pedicure and manicure, did her hair and applied makeup on her face. They let her hair down her shoulders and back. Triffany looks at the mirror surprise by the transformation.She looks like the model Nick and Allison doubted she could be. She smiles, please with her beauty, she was a natural, but enhancing her beauty makes her more pretty.They drew a wardrobe of expensive, classy dress our. “Ma’am, you have to choose a dress.” Triffany turned around surprised to s
Carlos smiled and they walked over to Ethan Zack. “Chairman,” Carlos called out and Ethan turned around.“Carlos Zack.” He smiled. “You are free to call me Grandpa here.” His eyes fell on Triffany. “Look who we have here.”“Sir,” Triffany said gently as she bows.Ethan smiled warmly. “That sounds horrible.” Triffany looked up immediately, has she said something wrong. Oh no! She said in her head.“I’m sorry. I don’t know how to, or what to call you. That’s the best I could come up with.” Carlos watched how tense she is and sniggers. “I should’ve called you Chairman.” She lowered her gazeEthan Zack was amused as he looked at Carlos. “Carlos, she’s a cute wife.” Triffany looked up and saw them smiling.Ethan held her two hands. “You should call me grandpa, just as Carlos and Gabby do call me. We&rsquo
"I don't understand." Eric was still puzzled. "My grandfather must have known all these and made me get married to someone else. I was blinded by my love for Kelsey, but I have found out already." Carlos took another glass of wine from a staff that passed with a tray of wine. "You must have felt sick." Garrett who understands him said. Anytime bad things go wrong, Carlos always falls sick, but never shows it. "Well, I passed through that." He sips his wine again. "I'm fine now, so please don't bring Kelsey's name up anymore. I can't stand it." He said seriously this time. "Okay." They all agreed. "Have you told your wife about this?" Blake asked, Triffany ought to know, she shouted be the first to know about it, it could give them a chance to have feelings for each other. "Haven't got the chance to." He exhaled softly. "You should tell her so that she won't misunderstand you and Kelsey again. I'm sure you love your wife." Blake
Triffany knitted her brow as he was disturbing her conversation."I'm happy." She said to Tommy, with her eyes on Carlos who scoffed."So how is the file editing going? You know you're submitting it next tomorrow." Tommy asked."I'm done with it." Triffany smile, luckily she had finally finished editing the chapters and sure she did a good work on it."You promised to let me see it first right?""Yes." She smiled. "I promised.""We will see next tomorrow then.""Okay." She still put on that cute smile on her face, still aware that Carlos was staring at her."Goodnight then.""Goodnight." Triffany put down her phone."What's the time?" Carlos asked with his eyes staring at her like dagger and his tone cold."9:39pm." She said nonchalantly."Then why?""Why what?" She raised her brow.Carlos exhaled softly, he knew he was boiling in anger, not at her but of that friend of hers. "Why aren't you sleeping?" He runs his hands through his hair.Triffany sighed. "It's none of your business. W
Triffany woke up from hearing some sound, she looked in the direction of the door where it wasring if Carlos was there.She knew he had warned her not to come to that room, but she had to find out what was wrong. She slowly turned the knob and there she found Carlos holding the picture with his face buried in his arms, crying.She entered without his notice. "Carlos.." He looked up when he heard her voice and immediately wipe off the tears in his eyes. "What's wrong?" This was the first time she had ever seen him in tears."Why are you here?" He asked her, but she walked even closer to him. "You should be in here."She looked down at his hands and saw the picture he was holding. "Is that your parents?" She pointed at the people in the picture.This was the first time she had seen such people, there was no image of his parents in the house, she hadn't asked, since it was not her place to ask and he wouldn't tell her too.She knew they were dead but haven't heard anything about them, o
Ethan hugged Bailey who was with her son's photo, they quietly sat together the next morning on a sofa. "I still think of him all the time," Bailey said softly, still looking at the picture."So strong-willed just like his son and you." Ethan held her hands softly. "Today would be a really sad day for my grandchildren." Bailey faced him. "They will cry and Carlos would act bold and try to hold back his tears which might even get him sick."She sobs as her husband hugged her shoulder. "You should consider your health honey," Ethan told her. She was fragile and crying could also make her sick.Bailey looked at him. "Don't act so strong with me Ethan. I know you're hurting in your heart.""We have Carlos and Gabby now and even Triffany, soon they will have babies too. Life goes on." His eyes were so gentle, looking up at her face."That's true Ethan." Bailey pursed, tears flow down the corner of her cheek. "But Gabby...Gabby can she stop crying?"
Triffany woke up the next morning, she looked over to the sleeping Carlos who was on the bed, she signed. She thought she have become more than someone close to him but she is only a stranger to him.Even her feelings which she opened up to him, still all she was, is a stranger and then what was the bathing together and the sleeping on the same bed together for.Well truthfully he had been honest to her, he told her that she's like a bathtub and a pillow, and now they are even strangers. She exhaled softly.She looked at the time. "Oh my god!" She exclaimed. "I'm going to run late." She rushed into the bathroom, brush her teeth, took her bath and dressed up.She applied light makeup, then she took her system and the things she had worked on.She looked over at Carlos one last time before stepping out of the room and was greeted by Gabby who just came out of her room."Morning Triffany." She got the same smiling face Triffany had seen the day
"Fun?" Garrett was surprised, how can she be having fun at work, his friend was saying nonsense."Yes." He sips his wine."How?" Garrett asked curiously."Hey, Carlos!" Gabby called out. "Come join us, come on." She waved him over."I'm coming." Carlos smiles and drops down his wine glass. He looked at Garrett. "I better go now, can't keep my princess waiting." He smiles. "Let's go have fun, Garrett." He said seriously."Okay." Garrett knew that topic had ended there, so he dropped his wine glass and dive into the pool.Splash!Gabby laughs. "Gosh!" She splashed them water. "That was a great splash!""Catch!" Eric threw the ball to Carlos as he caught it."Gabby I guess you should chase." Blake smile."Hey! That's unfair." Gabby pout.Carlos threw the ball to Garrett. "Don't tell me you want to back out without a trial." Garrett wink her and moved back with the ball.This was a challenge to Gabby and
