Chuckling lightly as she glared at me, I could tell she was cursing me in her mind. After the other day at the market, her hatred for me has grown really tall, and I find that amusing. I like the way she reacts whenever I get on her nerves, and it makes me want to do more.
Mathew rushed out of his office and started telling all the customers to leave. Claire and I both stared at him curiously. What's going on? Two big vehicles with dark-tinted glasses parked in front of the restaurant. One of the vehicles looks like that of an escort, and at that point, I realized what was going on.
My insides started churning with anger. Mathew successfully drove the customers away, and THAT MAN walked in, smiling at everybody until his gaze got to me, and he frowned.
"What are you doing here?" I asked coldly.
"Greetings first, young man! Don't be rude," he responds sternly.
Mathew took Claire by the hand, and they both hurried away.
He sat down and pointed to the chair in front of him. "Sit down," he said, and I ignored.
"Sit down, young man," he said again, his tone more stern this time.
"I don't want to..."
"Sit down!" He yelled, cutting me off.
I scoffed gently, but I sat down.
"What are you doing here?" I asked again.
"I'm here to see my son," he answered, and I scoffed gently.
"Son? Do you think you have the right to call me that?" I asked.
"Of course I do... I feed you, clothe you, and make sure you're comfortable," he responded scornfully.
I scoffed gently. "Right... That's the typical response Mr. Mayor will give," I responded.
"What's wrong with you?" He asked, and I could feel his ego bruising.
"Just leave," I said, standing up.
"I see you haven't come to your senses," he responded.
CLAIRE
"Isn't that the Mayor?" I asked my boss, who looked frightened and worried at the same time.
"Yes," he responded, looking out the window.
"Why is he here? And what's going on between him and that crazy jerk?" I asked, regretting my words immediately they came out.
He chuckled lightly. "That crazy jerk is his son," he responded.
What? He's the mayor's son?
"But we only know and see..."
"The mayor, his wife, and David, his supposed only son on TV, right?" he asked, completing my statement.
I nodded slowly.
"Yeah... Ethan is considered a troublemaker, so the mayor deliberately doesn't show him off."
"But..."
"Enough with the curiosity, Claire. Let's get ready to return back to work once they are done talking."
I swallowed hard, thousands of questions going through my mind. The whole tensed atmosphere became subtle the moment the mayor left.
I hurried to the bathroom to ease myself when I heard someone sobbing.
I turned to see him on his knees, crying like a child, and for a moment, I forgot how much I hate him as the desire to just console him swept over me.
I walked gently to where he is and pointed a handkerchief at him. His head is buried in his knees, so he raised up his head and glared at me coldly.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" He yelled at me, and I flinched. He rose to his feet and pushed me out of the way, causing me to fall sharply on the cold floor.

ETHANI knocked gently on Michael's door. "Come in," he responded, and I walked in. "Ethan? How may I help you?" he asked, surprise evident on his face. "Erm... nothing much. How are you?" I asked, immediately regretting coming to his office. What am I even doing here? "I'm sure you didn't come to my office for the first time in weeks just to ask how I am, so spill, Ethan. What do you have to say?" he asked. I sighed. Fine! "That girl... she has not been coming to work for the past two days. Is she okay?" I asked, swallowing my pride and ignoring every sense organ in my body telling me not to ask. "Oh, Claire? She's, um... wait! Are you worried about her?" he asked excitedly, like a child given candy. "Never mind," I responded, turning to walk out. "She called in sick," he said, and I paused in my tracks. Sick? Is she very sick? Could it be because I pushed her? Did she hurt herself when she fell? I walked out immediately without turning back. It’s all my fault. Why did I

CLAIRE I glanced at him for the upteenth time , I'm still shocked the almighty Ethan is working hard and doing all the heavy lifting but don't get me wrong he's still the rude brat he has always been .He hasn't seen me for days and he ignored me the moment I walked into the Cafe .He's a cold annoying jerk !.I glanced towards his direction again and our eyes met , I immediately looked away .Whatever happened to him while I was away must be a good thing because he's been helpful since I got here in the morning.ETHAN I chuckled lightly the moment she looked away , I sighed nervously at how fragile and lean she looks .She must have been really sick but at least she's back now and that's a huge relief .Wait ! What? Why am I relieved she's okay now ? Why am I concerned ? She's my colleague so it's only right I worry ....it's not a big deal .'' If you keep staring at her like that she'll end up calling you a pervert." Micheal whispered into my ears and I glared at him." I'm no

CLAIREMy heart raced as I saw Ethan crumple to the ground, his body lying still where the plank had struck him. Panic surged through me, and I rushed to his side. “Ethan! Are you okay?” I knelt beside him, my voice trembling. His eyes fluttered open, and he groaned in pain. “Why did you have to be so stubborn?” he muttered through gritted teeth. “I-I thought I could handle them ,” I said, my hands shaking as I checked him over for injuries. “Why did you come after me?” I asked .Ethan winced as he tried to sit up. “You’re not exactly subtle when you’re in trouble. And don’t think this means I’m going to be nice to you or anything.” Despite his words, I could see the concern in his eyes. I pulled out my phone and called for an ambulance, unable to shake the image of him getting hit. “Just hold on, okay? Help is coming.” Ethan looked at me, his expression softer than usual. “You really know how to cause a scene, don’t you?” I managed a weak smile despite my worry. “Well, I

ETHAN I opened my eye lids gently unsure of where I am but the sudden scream from a familiar voice woke me up ." Mom ?" I called gently " He's awake ! My son ! How do you feel ? What happened ?'' she asked touching me all over just to make sure I'm fine. I grabbed her hand gently and she paused her actions ." I'm okay mom .... please help me sit up " I responded finding it hard to do it on my own." No no you can't do that yet , you still need to rest for a while '' she responded shaking her head in disagreement. " Mom I need to ......" " The boy said he wants to sit up let him sit up " another very familiar husky voice responded .I looked up to see the presence I didn't notice was in the room and he has that cold stare on .My mum obeyed gently and helped me sit up , I held onto my head with my left hand as I felt a throbbing sharp pain in my head and I grunted with distress .Silence took over but I know that's definitely not the end , that man always have something to say .
