Chapter 18
“Can’t wait to introduce you to him, Juno. I hope you two get along well. He’s a very nice and sweet guy,” I said, scrolling past the photos on the personal album I’ve made in my gallery that was dedicated for my boyfriend.
I pocketed my phone and looked back at Juno who’s busy chomping on the food we ordered. She looked funny with her mouth full and wrinkled forehead. Her eyebrows were almost meeting halfway and the way she’s gripping the utensils seemed a bit forceful to me. Is she even listening to whatever I’m saying?
I cocked my head and smirked. “Slow down. You might choke.”
Juno emitted a low grumble. “Why’d you stop? Keep going. I like hearing you talk about the love of your life right in front of my salad.”
My gaze fell down on the untouched bowl of vegetable salad in front of her since she’s busy wolfing on the pasta.
I chuckled silently as I continued watching her eat with gusto. Or anger is the right term? I inwardly

Heaving out a deep sigh, I pushed the flush button before deciding to walk out of the cubicle. Though, before I could even push the door open, two gossip girls walked inside the comfort room. And based on what I was hearing, they’re talking about Jupiter.I kept quite, took a tiny step back and decided to eavesdrop discreetly on them.“The girl don’t look familiar to me at all. Do you think that’s his girl friend? There was never a relationship rumor about him. Ever!”“Maybe? I mean… aside from his twin, he’s also never seen a with any girl in public. I’m even suspecting he’s gay!”I bit my lower lip to hold back myself from laughing. If only they have any idea…“Well now, he’s off the market.”I heard the other girl let out a defensive gasp.“We’re not even sure if that’s really her girl friend! And fine, she&rs

My sister gaped at me with her eyes wide open as I finished explaining to her what Juno’s role would be to my current dilemma. She nearly threw the flower vase perching on top of our dining table to my face when I told her that Juno was clueless when she signed the contract.“You manipulative son of a bitch!” She half-screamed, throwing the table napkin on my face. I chuckled on my seat as I dodged the new batch of napkins coming my way.“Hey! Careful with your words, Venus. You’re deliberately calling our a mother a bitch.” I laughingly screamed back at her which thankfully halted her physical aggressiveness. She shot me a glare.“Don’t bring Gaia in this conversation!”I doubled over in laughter. “You’re lucky, Dad isn’t here.”Venus sighed, trying to collect herself together. “Aren’t you worried you might scare her away again? Like the last ti

“Thanks a lot, Maggie. I enjoyed eating dinner with you.” I picked up my cat as I headed out of my new found friend’s apartment room.Pickle and I stayed for almost an hour in her apartment for a fun introductory chit-chat. I found out that we’re nearly the same age, and she’s currently a working-student as she wasn’t able to finish her degree earlier because of heavy financial problem. I salute anyone who decides to push through their dreams, never letting their age or the time hindrance it. Because I know a few who fell out of interest as they felt like they’re out of time to pursue it anymore.“I’ll try to cook this weekend to make it up to you. What are your favorite dishes, by the way?” I asked and Maggie laughed, shaking her head sheepishly.“Don’t sweat it, Juno. I’d feel so bad that you’re going to effort to cook when I only served you a burger from fast-foo

I was half-running just to get back quickly in the company building as I don’t want to anger her more. I acted all cocky yesterday with my conversation with Venus because there’s a contract involved. But here I am now, acting like a goddamn puppy who just got scolded by his master.“Fuck!” I cursed angrily after seeing that the private lift isn’t available ASAP for me as it is currently on the sixth floor, heading to the twenty-fifth. Since I don’t have a choice, I took the stairs and run up to the first floor to use the common elevator.Employees were scattered and crowding the hallway, waiting for their turn to use the lift.“Good morning, Sir!” They greeted and I smiled to acknowledge them. I then glanced at the elevator panels and saw that one of the lifts are almost on their way down.“Good morning. Is it okay for me to cut in the line? I’m really in a hurry right now.”

“Hey, that’s enough! I already apologized and explain my side, okay? I’m not the bad guy here. Our boss is,” Miss Monica giggled while leaning in comfortably on the chair across me as I continued glaring at her.We headed back upstairs and she decided to accompany me inside the office while waiting for Jupiter. And also, to explain her side.“Your boss, you mean? He’s not mine’s.” I retorted back, still irritated.“Uh, yes? Our boss,” she crossed her arms, emphasizing the words to me. “Until there’s a contract involved, he is rightfully above us.”“You wish. Just shut up.” I rolled my eyes, leaning back to my seat as I turn away from her to face the door, waiting for it to burst open, anticipating the demon’s arrival.“Gee, no need to be rude.”“Gee, no need to lie to me.” I mimicked her voice and she let out

My mind was flying back to the office next door while I was facing my desktop, forcing myself to focus on the documents that needed my attention that morning. It’s nearly half an hour but I haven’t heard back from the two. Is Venus having a hard time persuading that woman?I nervously chewed on my lower lip. Juno is my only hope at the moment. I couldn’t think of any effective solution anymore. If only Monica agreed to play along with me, it’ll be easier and more believable. Why not, though? Everyone knew that she’s my sister’s best friend. So automatically, everyone would think I’m also close to her…I sighed and grumbled in frustration.The ringing telephone pulled me back from my deep thoughts. I cleared my throat before picking up the call.“Good morning. Who is this?”There was a heavy sigh on the line… and then, it was followed by a short laughter. An offensive

I heaved out a deep sigh after reading the short article about Jupiter. And I admit, it was concerning and it bothered me. Can’t people just stick their noses in their business? What does this person want from him? This is an obvious threat to his peaceful life.And why can’t Jupiter be extra careful about this? I have so much problems in my plate already and now I have to consider being part of his too.“Please, Juno. Help my brother. You are his only hope right now.” Venus Acosta held my hand pleadingly. Her eyes looked so hopeful and nearly begging.“What he did was wrong, and you know it was out of desperation. Please, I’ll make sure the contract will be in favor of you. We can revise everything and add your own terms. You know Jupiter is pretty desperate right now and I’m sure he’ll indulge you in anything just to hear a ‘yes’ from you. Please…”A long exasperated

“Job well done, sister!”Venus and I exchanged a high-five before attacking one another with a massive hug. She’s done so much for me today! I’m so thankful and grateful for her help that I could actually buy her a whole shopping mall if she asks me to.“Gee, stop! You sound a lot like James Charles!” She teases and I pull away from our embrace to glare at her.“Ew! Are you watching his contents?”“Ew, no! I don’t even follow him but his face is all over my feed because of my mutuals. He’s so problematic.”“I agree. So let’s not talk about that fag-” Venus slapped my mouth before I could even finish my sentence. The woman glared back at me.“I’m aware you got a pass to say that slur but let’s not normalize you saying that, please…”“Why not?” I chuckled, playfully rolling my eyes at her as
