“What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I lie to him?” A sigh with annoyance came out from Francis. "Didn’t I tell you this morning that there has been so much on my mind lately? Can’t I make a mistake? I forgot to make myself clear, so Sir Chris thought that it was you when in fact, it was Sam, my sister.." Sam could not believe her ears and she wouldn't buy the guy's pretense. “If it was your sister, you wouldn’t have rushed down the stairs just to tell her to answer your mom’s call. She is not here to begin with.” "Sir Chris must have really misheard me." Francis would never lose to her. "To make myself clear again.. I was trying to call my sister but because she was not answering her phone, I rushed down the stairs to go and ask you if you know her social media accounts, in case she was online on one of those." Another lie, Sam thought to herself. "Fine.. just spit whatever you want but you will never convince me. It’s too obvious that you lied to Sir Chris and because

Flustered, Francis paused and gulped. “It’s really a hangover.” “Anyone can endure the feeling that they get after drinking too much but not the feeling that they get after learning about a shocking truth behind someone’s death.” Visible shock fell on his face, his throat felt completely dry. He made eye contact with the old man but he could not utter a word. “You are at a loss for words.” Sodon spoke again. “That means, I’m right. That sickening feeling is not from a hangover but from such a horrible revelation.” “How did you find out about it?” “Which one? Me also knowing the truth or you just learning about it?” “Both..” “Jeremy revealed everything to me before. Such a shocking truth has been kept for so long, not only by him but also by his best friends and that includes Yenny. So, even before we were introduced to each other a while ago, I’ve already been hearing her name from Jeremy and his best friends. And last night, Chris and Ken told me that Yenny greatly disappoin

Dave fell into deep silence. Painful memories of the past rushed in, from that gloomy morning he resented Jeremy to that rainy night he tormented him with cruel words. Pain began to choke him with suffocating heaviness. Is it pain from sadness and remorse? Or still from hate and anger? He doesn’t know now. “That morning was also the very first time you broke my heart.” Ms. Fei continued, moist eyes locked on the beautiful sight of the city’s breathtaking landscape that instantly became gray and dreary because of her emotional state. “But even if you did break my heart at that time, Jeremy consoled me by being a selfless brother to you. He never attacked you with the hate and fury that you were throwing at him. He embraced you with warmth and understanding. He showed you that even if you were in your worst condition, he would never abandon you..” She paused as her eyes already gave in. Rushing tears drenched her face. “But despite your brother’s selflessness, why did you still let tha

“Sir, I’m with Ms. Fei now..” “Thanks.” “But..” Andy, on the other line, paused, worried to trouble Dave but no other choice to make because he should know about it. “But what??” “She passed out. We’re in the ambulance right now, we’re rushing her to the nearest hospital.” Dave, receiving such terrible news, abruptly stepped on the brake. An ear-piercing noise blasted in the middle of an empty road where wide fields and lush trees are on both sides. Steering the wheel with haste, the car made a U-turn and sped up as he drove away. “Sir, are you still there??” “Yes, I’m heading to Feron. Please send me what hospital you’re taking her to.” He ended the phone call and accelerated the speed. “What have I done??” He sighed heavily, out of guilt. If he kept his cool and did not let the old woman talk about him and Jeremy, she wouldn’t have felt bad. She’s old enough to be hurting. “I’m sorry, Ms. Fei..” His words to her a while ago blasted in his ears. Those were cruel. He should

Dave gulped then smiled nervously. “Ah, r..right.. I’m sorry, how could I forget that easily..” “You must also be having a difficult time.” A reassuring smile from her. “But don’t worry, she’s gonna be completely fine.” “Y..Yes, that’s for sure.” He uttered with optimism despite not knowing the whole truth about Ms. Fei’s condition. “Dave, please don’t let her lose heart..” Dr. Lea spoke again, already holding the guy’s hands which happened unnoticed because he was lost in his thoughts. “Give her more strength and unwavering hope.” The guy nodded, eyes began to get teary. With haste, he looked away to hold back his tears and pretended to be looking at his watch. “I’m sorry, Dr. Lea but I need to leave now.” “Sure, no worries.” She rose up from sitting, Dave did the same. “I want to see you off but I’m sure you will refuse.” She smiled then walked first. Dave slightly smiled, which he no longer faked as he appreciated the woman’s kindness. With the clasp envelope in his hand, he l

A ringing sound suddenly blasted in the air. Jeremy stopped running to get his phone from his pocket when all of a sudden, he felt a tight grip on his pants. "Got you!" One little girl uttered with so much excitement. Her grip on his pants got even tighter. "I caught him!!" She victoriously shouted to the other kids who would never give up chasing after Chris and Ken just to catch them. "What a fast runner.." Jeremy bent down to meet her eyes then playfully caressed her soft curly hair. "Someone's calling you.." She looked at his pocket. "Won't you get your phone and answer the call?" "That person can wait, but I'm sure you can't wait for your prize." He smiled, reaching for the girl's small hand. A spark beamed in her eyes seeing a strawberry flavored chocolate bar in her hand. "Yehey!!" Delighted, she hugged Jeremy. "You want more of that?"She nodded, all smiles. "Then.." He gently made the girl turn around and pointed at his two best friends who also joined him to play with

Walking out of the hospital, Yenny can’t still stop her eyes from getting teary. The situation is really heartbreaking and what makes it heavier to carry is the fact that no one should know about it yet. She can’t even visit and see Ms. Fei because Dave doesn’t want the old woman to know that other people are already aware of her worsening health condition. What he thinks is the best to do, for the meantime, is to make Ms. Fei believe that he’s the only one who found out about her serious illness. In that way, she won’t worry about distressing others, especially Jeremy and Tony Sean. ‘I’m really sorry, Jeremy..’ Dave texted his brother right away, no more hesitations because he should do something before it’s too late. He will never forgive himself if he and his family lose another person so dear to them because of him. They lost Leona Sean and he’s to blame. Only him. But this time, he won’t make the same stupid mistake again. He couldn’t take his eyes off the screen, hoping to see
MY EX-BOSS, MY LOVER Chapter 171
When Chris was on the phone with Francis a while ago, he suddenly felt like sinking under the ground with the thought that Francis might have heard him and Yenny argue under the entryway stairs. And he’s right. Francis did not only hear them clearly but he did hear everything. That’s the reason why he wanted to talk to him and Ken because what he had found out is something he can’t swallow and keep to himself only. So, as soon as he reached FasTraxx, he did not wind up anymore and went straight to revealing the truth to Jeremy’s best friends. He was expecting that Chris would slam him with annoyance or anger for eavesdropping but what he took from him was a heartfelt ‘sorry.’ He did not even come clean to save face but still, Chris did stick to his point of view that the mess was his doing and that he was the one apologizing and not Francis. “I was so absorbed in my anger towards Dave that I didn’t notice I was already being careless.” There’s regret in his voice. “And because of tha
