Perry and Autumn left Perry's house through the back door, just to avoid his parent's teasing. As he drove, she yawned due to her tiredness. Perry noticed how she constantly yawned, but he acted like he didn't see anything. The car was silent, and when Autumn was tired of the boring atmosphere, she decided to bring up a discussion. "Why didn't you let me have breakfast? The table was already set." "We're going to a restaurant already, and if it's because you care so much for free food, I'll pay your fee." He said to her nonchalantly, but the words triggered her. "What the heck?" She scoffed, turning to face him. ?"Are you telling me that I'm complaining because I lost the chance to have free food? That sounds very stupid, you know?" "Then why the fuck do you keep questioning me about it?" He asked, raising his voice at her a bit. He didn't look at her though, his eyes were on the road. "Do you know how dumb it is that I didn't thank them for letting me sleep over at t
"I don't mind whatever he does though. I just detest the way he reasons sometimes, and this happens to be one of those times," Autumn muttered as Ella released her from the hug. "Anyway, that aside, I'm way worried about the coming dinner date. How in the world do I want to go about it?" She asked her friend, an intense look of worry on her face. Ella retired to the sofa next to her and laid her back on the seat. "What's holding you back from telling your mum though? I'm sure she'll understand." She said and shrugged her shoulders. Autumn turned to look at her, a look of shock and unbelief appeared on her face. Ella knew her mum quite well, and Ella was the only friend of hers that her mum knew as well. She was surprised to hear Ella speak that way despite knowing how her mum overreacts most times. "I can't believe you just said that!" "What? In the end, you'll have to tell her anyway. Why not do it now?" Autumn shook her head as she let out a sigh. "You're so unbelievabl
As she was dragged into the bathroom, Autumn protested, telling whoever it was to let go of her. "Will you just let go of me already!" She yelled at the person and her clothes were released immediately. As soon as it was, she was shocked to see that it was Lisa who had dragged her in. "What the heck was that?! Why did you drag me?!" She snapped at her as she adjusted her gown and her hair, looking in the mirror opposite her. "We need to talk, Autumn," Lisa said and locked the door from the inside to make sure nobody barged in. "If you want to talk to me, you have my phone number, you could have called me or texted me. Why the heck did you have to drag me like that?! Do I look like a thief or something?!" Autumn snapped at her, raising her voice, as she was not having any of the drama Lisa caused some minutes back. "I knew I could have done all that, but it was more fun to drag you," Lisa replied to her and shrugged, making Autumn even more pissed at her. "And what was i
Autumn arrived at her desk and did her usual early morning routine work by arranging the office and awaiting Perry's arrival. Not quite long after she finished and had retired to her seat, her office door opened and she assumed it was Perry. She had made up her mind that she would act as if nothing happened between them the night before and that morning too to avoid awkwardness. She stood up to greet him, but as she looked at the door, she realized that it was someone else that walked in. The sound of the heels of the female who had just walked in was loud and it got louder as she approached her table. She was chewing a piece of gum, and she wasn't doing it neatly. Autumn rolled her eyes and had her seat, wondering who she was. She couldn't help but notice that the lady was beautiful, though. "Good morning," Autumn greeted her cordially when the lady got to her desk. "Are you here for an appointment?" She asked her. The lady scoffed immediately, a look of shock on her f
Liza stormed out of Autumn's office in anger, slamming the door shut behind her.? Immediately after she left, Autumn brought out her phone and searched for model Liza. Indeed, she was a popular model! "How the heck do I not know her?" She muttered as she scrolled down to read blog posts about her. Then, she remembered that she didn't know who Perry was the first time they met, despite him being the popular golden bachelor of the city. "I guess I'm just not social after all," she muttered. She dropped her phone on the table and headed for Perry's office. Just as she got to his door, her mind went to how Perry had treated her. Her eyes went wide open in shock as she remembered something. "Oh my God!" She exclaimed and opened Perry's door. She rushed to his table after closing the door behind her. "Why did you act like that to her?!" Perry raised his eyebrows at her. "Who?" "Model Liza! Why did you act like that to her?! Why did you say those things to her?!" Autumn glared
Autumn rolled on her bed as she opened her eyes slowly. She yawned before switching on the lights on the wall, next to her bed. She then picked up her phone which had been ringing for some minutes and checked who the caller was, it was Ella. "Why would she even call me by this time?" She muttered as she looked at the wall clock in her room. It was just 6:40 in the morning. She let out a sigh before muttering, "it had better be something important or I'm going to kill her for interrupting my sleep." Then, she picked up the call. "What is it, Ella?" "Oh my God, babe! Have you checked the net this morning?!" Ella exclaimed from the other side of the phone. Autumn, confused about what she was talking about, sighed once again.? "Don't tell me you disturbed my sleep just to tell me that you found something on the net. You know how much I cherish my sleep." "Girrrrrl, it's not just any news!" Ella exclaimed. "Everyone in the city is talking about Perry's marriage! The news h
Jax and Autumn continued to eat their meal in silence before he spoke again. He figured out that his reply from before might have sounded rude to her, so he decided to clear himself. He cleared his throat to gain her attention, and then he said, "even if I was curious to know who his wife is, I don't think you'd know her either, besides, if you do, I believe you'd have signed a nondisclosure agreement with him, not to disclose who his wife is or he'd fire you. And I wouldn't want you to be fired, so what's the point of asking you then?" He cleared himself. Autumn, who had felt offended by his reply initially, smiled at his last reply.? "I'm glad you think in such a manner, It's nice to see someone who understands my situation at the moment, and I wish everyone else would reason just like you have." He chuckled at her reply. "That's impossible, my dear, expect the whole firm to glare at you when you're at work today or try to speak to you or question you about who his wife mig
Perry stood there in shock as he watched the woman before him break down in tears.? He felt uncomfortable as he stood there doing nothing, while she lowered her head and kept on crying. Not sure of what to do, he moved over to her table and picked up the tissue paper on it. Then, he handed it over to her. "Here," he simply said as he cut out a piece of tissue paper and handed it over to her. She stretched out her hand and collected it from him while sniffing.? "Thanks," she muttered. Her eyes were red by now as she wiped her face and nose. Then, she threw the used piece in the refuse bin next to her. "What was that about?" Perry asked her when she stopped crying. She couldn't look up at his eyes, because she was embarrassed to have cried in front of him. Instead, she cleared her throat and replied to try to get the attention off her.? "I'm sorry for the outburst, I was just under a lot of stress that I had to pour everything out that way." Perry wasn't buying any of t
