Chapter 23
“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

I tried holding back my laughter as Lady Gaga’s music blasted on the car as we drive along the road. But no matter how hard I tried to suppress it, I still ended up cackling on my seat. I felt Jupiter’s eyes on me as his driving slowed down.“What’s so funny?” He asked, clearly confused. “Have you gone mad, Juno? You’re laughing out of nowhere…” he jokingly scooted away from me.My laugh grew louder. “Same Jupiter I know, blasting pop music on his car. I bet anyone who has shared a ride with you was weirded out by your music taste.”His brow furrowed, clearly irritated. “What’s wrong with my music choices? This is my car and I can play whatever the hell I want.”“Sure. No straight male would willingly blast bubble gum pop songs on their car, let alone sing along to it.”I heard him snorted in sarcasm. “Well good thing nobody has ente

I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face as I remembered what happened earlier outside. We were all seated on the long dining table for dinner but my mind was flying back to Juno’s IG post. That was so adorable! The way she looked flush and embarrassed when I found out her little secret makes my chest swell in a very unexplainable way. What is happening to me?!“I heard these are your favorite, Juno. I especially requested these dishes to a close friend who happened to be a pro in cooking. What do you think? Did you like the way they are cooked?” My father beamed happily at my fake girlfriend who looked so flustered at the warm welcome she received from my family.Juno smiled sheepishly at my dad as she nodded her head. “Thank you! That was so nice of you, Sir. And yes, I loved the food. I was so confused earlier when Jupiter sent me a text asking for a list of my favorite foods.”“Huh?” My father glance

“More kisses to come your way. Good night.” A deep frown appeared on my face after reading Jupiter’s text message right before I fell asleep that night. I scoffed as I zoomed in on the photo he just sent me. “The audacity of some gay these days…”Me:Thank you for ruining my night. Send me all the copies of these photos now so I can pick which ones to be published.Jupiter wasn’t lying when he said I looked like I’m enjoying the kiss. Because what the fuck is this shot? I was sure I would end up with wide eyes and bewildered face in the photographs since I was utterly shock when it happened. Seems like Monica knows how to get the right angles well. It looks like a behind the scene photo from a romantic movie film.My mouth pursed as I tried to stifle the smile threatening to appear on my lips. And before I knew, I already set the photo as my background wallpaper. It’s just

(Still on the female lead’s point of view)How does he felt about me? Remembering how he treated me with enthusiasm the very first time we met and compared to now, I don’t think there’s any difference. He was so nice to pay for my food, and very kind to cover me from the sun and walked me here to the grocery. Or he’s always known me?I mentally face-palmed when I remembered the little chaos on my social media last night. Maybe that’s how he found out. The news reached him quickly and he’s probably following Jupiter. And probably, too, have already followed me now without me knowing.I couldn’t help the small doubts about him that’s clouding in my head because it felt like his last words to me sounded pretty off. Especially his tone. Is he genuinely being nice? Or now that he found out, he’s being forced to act that way to not start a fight?I sighed and looked at the c

“You look so creepy, Sir. No kidding.”“Fuck off, dumb bitch.” I sent a quick glare at Monica’s direction as I fixated my eyes back to my computer where I’m responding to so many pending emails from the past days.I called her up here to write the article that we are to release at the media later this afternoon. We’ll send it anonymously to an online news outlet and I want to check it word by word so it’s better if she’s near me so it’ll be easier to monitor.“No, for real! You’re supposed to be stressed with your piled up paper works. However, your smile and the energy radiating out of you right now is so light and different. I wonder if this has something to do with Miss Sol-”“I said fuck off and finish the task I assigned to you.”I heard her chuckle. “You enjoyed that kiss, didn’t you?”My eyes snapped back at her an
