**Kyle's POV***It was bewildering enough that after the day I took her home, I found her at my birthday party. I was so sure that she wanted nothing to do with me, but seeing her in my party gave me some sort of excitement that I could barely describe. While attending to my guests, I kept searching for her with my gaze. I saw her talking and smiling with Kevin, which was such an annoying sight to behold. I can't deny that when I saw them this way, I felt a little out of place. I can't describe what that feeling was all about. Probably because she never gave me the opportunity to be friends with her, but she's talking freely to Kevin whom I know she only met recently. “Hey, what's up?” The voice of Jacob immediately made me snap away from my thoughts. “Huh? Nothing much.” I denied taking my gaze away from them. “Those two, they look like they are dating, don't you think?” Jacob asked, staring at the direction which I had stopped looking at. “You mean?”“I mean my sister and
**Fancy's POV***“You can pull up at that lane,” I instructed Kevin, and he immediately pulled up at the exact location I asked him to. Quickly, I unfastened my seatbelt. “Fancy, are you okay?”The sudden question from Kevin immediately made me raise my head up to look at him. “Yes, I'm okay. Anything the matter?”“I don't know how to describe it, but you seemed quite lost in thought and quiet. In fact, you've been so silent ever since we left Kyle's birthday party. Is anything the matter? You can share with me, I'm a good listener.”Instantly, I began to feel nervous. I had tried not to show the sour mood I was in, but little did I know that no matter how much I tried to hide it, it still found its way to light. “You don't have to worry about me. I'm actually doing okay,” I muttered, trying to fake a smile. Kevin searched my eyes with a creased brow, which made me hold my breath as if he were going to find out what was wrong with me the moment I breathed out. “Are you sure you
**Kyle's POV***I sat on the balcony with a file in hand and at the same time, hit my pen on the table. “Coach, is this all you need me to find out?”I looked up at Mr. Devon and smiled. "Yes, this is all, and you should quit calling me coach when we are alone, Mr. Devon. It sounds awkward.”Mr Devon smiled broadly. “I know. But that's what everyone calls you. It's not my fault you've become pretty popular. Your father will be proud of you if he finds out about how well you've been doing for yourself.”I stiffened at the mention of my father. “Oh my! I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to spoil your mood.”“No, you didn't. I know you care a lot for me, which is why you've been helping me out these past few years, am I wrong?”Devon heaved a deep sigh and walked closer to where I sat. He slowly placed his hand on my shoulders, “Kyle, ever since your father was jailed, I've seen you weak and helpless. More reason why I have chosen to help you all these years.”“Mr. Devon, you have no idea j
**Fancy's POV***# Two weeks later “And that would be all for today, ladies!” My dance instructor said, bidding us goodbye with a smile. Immediately, I collapsed on the floor, panting. Despite my modeling career, I've been taking dance lessons. For one, I love dancing, and secondly, it's also a part of the exercise I do to keep fit. I looked to my side where I found my water bottle. With a smile on my face, I reached out for it and gulped the content of the water inside down my throat. Just then, I heard my phone ring in my purse next to me. I reached for my bag and took out the phone. To my greatest surprise, it was a call from my mom.At this time of the day? This was surprising because she was supposed to be at work. While still sipping the water from the bottle, I answered the call. “Hey mom, what's up!”I heard silent sobs and sniffling, which made me freeze. What was that? “Mom, are you okay?”“Fancy, what should I do? I think I've lost, Simon?”Immediately, I spat out t
**Fancy's POV**“What?!” Immediately, I sat up straight from my bed but tried not to scream out in order not to wake my mom. I shook my head in disbelief while staring at the text. I looked at the time and it was 1am. What the hell? How can they terminate my contract at this point of the night, knowing I'll not be able to get to the company by this time. This is unbelievable. I can't believe this one bit! I got out of bed with care and went to the living room. My hands were shaking, and my thoughts were a mess. I haven't recovered from my mom's failed marriage, and now my contract is being terminated by the first company that hired me in New York. What the hell is going on? Why are things getting this messy? What could be the problem?I can't just sit here. I searched for their email on the company's website and left them a message, requesting that they provide me a detail of the reason my contract was being terminated. I tried thinking about what I must have done wrong to make
**Fancy's POV**# Two weeks laterA lot had happened within the span of two weeks. My mom sold her home where she lived with her husband. She even got laid off from work. I had tried to hide the impact of the scandal from her, but she saw the last message from the only company I work for. They terminated my contract and they boldly stated the reason. My mom collapsed when she saw this. I rushed her to the hospital where she got treated. After much deliberation, she decided that we both pack our things and return to Mexico. But I had wanted to find out who did this to us. Whoever it was had succeeded in destroying us, which isn't fair. Whoever did this to us should be caught and punished, but my mom wouldn't let that happen. She just wanted us to leave. We bought a small home in Mexico and we both lived together. I had earlier told my dad about what happened, and he was just as dumbstruck. He suggested that we all live together, but my mom wouldn't allow it. I understand her and I
**Kyle's POV***“Hey man, you came here today. Tell me, is it because of Vanessa?”“What are you talking about? I came to see you, Kevin.”“Oh! So tell me, do you like the atmosphere here?” Kevin asked. I looked around the serene environment and nodded my head. “You did a a great job. Too bad your father might go bankrupt at the rate you're spending his money."“He'll be glad I am. You know, I had wanted to handle his fashion company, but he thinks I'm not talented enough for it. He thinks I lack the tenacity.”“Well, I think so too. No, father would want their son to gamble with the company they've worked so hard for.”“Hey man, don't talk like that. Are you on my side or his?”“I'm on the side of truth. That's all.”“You're unbelievable, get outta here!” Kevin said, and we both chuckled heartily. “So tell me, how did you find me here?”“Well, I felt bored and needed someone to talk to, so I thought of coming here since you invited me before now. I never thought of seeing you, thou
**Fancy's POV**After my conversation with Kevin, I asked him to allow me a week to think things through before I give him a reply. Kevin was indeed a gentleman. He told me he'll wait for my response and wouldn't let anyone take the vacant spot until I had given him my reply. I can't believe this was happening. I had no hope of ever working in this field ever again. I had decided that things wouldn't get better. I thought I should move on to a different career and had even started thinking about a few careers I can go into. “Thank you so much, Kevin. You do not know just how much I appreciate the fact that you considered me for this, even when I know I'm not worth your wait.”“Don't say things like that. It's the loss of those who ended your contract.”Immediately I stood up. I needed someone to talk to concerning this. “Thank you for this, Kevin. I guess it's time I take my leave now. Not to worry, I'll surely give you my reply within a week.”“And I just can't wait to hear from
