81. Did I say something?.
The next morning, I woke up at my normal time. I got fresh up changed into my gym outfit and went downstairs. I grabbed the water bottle from the refrigerator and walked out of the kitchen and found Ralph coming towards me, with a bare chest and a small towel around his neck. What happened?.
"Good morning, Adam." He greeted with his usual smile."Morning." I greeted him back with an awkward smile. My thoughts weren't stopping from thinking what might have happened last night."Can I borrow your clothes?" He asked to my surprise."Sorry?" I asked when my mind didn't register what he said."Your clothes. Can I borrow them?" He asked again."Y-yeah sure. I'll bring them in a second." I said and Ralph replied with a smile.I went back to my room and grabbed jeans a t-shirt and a jacket and came downstairs. I gave them to Ralph with a smile but my mind was thinking of the reasons. I'm sure Martin isn't s

We started packing the other things and after 30 minutes we completed them."Finally," I exclaimed."Yeah. I didn't know that I brought these many clothes." Celine chuckled and sat beside me."Idiot," I replied in annoyance. She smiled and threw her weight on me."You're heavy, Li," I said and tried to adjust my posture so she can be comfortable."Even though you won't throw me." She said while making herself comfortable. She laid her head on my shoulder and held my arm with her hands."You would miss me for sure," I said while caressing her hair."I never said I wouldn't." She replied and closed her eyes."You are coming back after the contract ends right?" I asked after some time of silence. But the silence continued."Li, babe you are coming back right?" I asked while looking at her but she buried her face in my shoulder. I held her face and made her look at me. He

I thought by seeing her face.She sat in front of me and her face was still pissed. The maid served her the breakfast but she didn't reply and started eating with a pissed look. She looked at me and shifted her gaze towards the food plate immediately. I ignored it and completed my breakfast. I was having my coffee when she spoke."Umm...Adam." She called."Yeah?"

Marti took a long breath and clicked his tongue before answering."Yes, accidentally." He added."Fine. Go on." I said with a hand gesture and leaned back on the bench."So. I saw him accidentally. I thought of meeting him and asking him about yesterday night. So, I parked the car at the park and went inside to meet him." He added.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Flashback:"Hey." I greeted Ralph and he looked at me in response."Oh, Hai Martin.

Ralph nodded his head and smiled a little."So, what are you doing here all alone like a lost sparrow?" I asked with a joyful tone to cheer him up but this guy didn't even change his expression

"What if you haven't?" I asked back."How can you say that I haven't?." He whined."And how can you say that I have?" I asked and he rolled his eyes."Stop thinking Martin. We know nothing and it's not worth a headache. Moreover, if Ralph has known then he would have told about it already." I said trying to encourage him."What if he's been hiding about it?." Does this person ever stops overthinking?."What will he gain from it?. He's not that type of guy Martin." I said while keeping my hand on his shoulder."Are you sure about it?" He asked."I'm pretty sure. Don't think about it." I replied with a small head nod and smiled in reply.We stayed in the park for some time."Let's get back. It's getting dark."

The next morning, my daily schedule got messed up. I woke up when I felt like waking up. I turned towards the other side of the bed in a habit to call Celine and it felt heart-wrecking when I found it empty."Yeah. She's not here." I said in a quiet tone.And...that sentence was enough for my mood to be off. I miss her....already and....so much. I got fresh up with that mood off look and went downstairs. I act obedient and sulky when I'm mood off and I don't mind if it's my parents or my enemy.I saw Adam having his breakfast and I'm seriously not in the mood to get into an argument with him. So, I sat on the chair opposite him silently. The maid served the breakfast and I started eating it.I can't stay in the place I hate when I'm completely mood off. I need to go to the place where people pamper me. So, I thought of going back to the Lawrenson mansion. But.....I should ask him first.I looked at him to speak but shifted my gaze immed

I woke up around 3 in the afternoon when mum woke me."I brought snacks and a refreshing drink. Why don't you fresh up, first?" She said with a smile.I nodded and went inside the restroom. I got fresh up and came outside. I sat back on the bed and mum gave me the food plate."Are they good?" She asked while patting my head."Yeah. Thanks, mum." I replied with a smile."How are you feeling now?." She asked."I feel better," I said and she smiled in reply."Don't think too much, Celine will always come back." She comforted me."I know, it's just I'm not used to being without her. I feel weird." I said while taking another bite of the toast."I understand, dear. You'll feel normal eventually. Adam will take care of it." She said while caressing my cheek. I looked down for a bit. I still feel bad for making all this a lie."Yeah, I feel the same mum.
Married To My Rival. 88. The office.
The elevator stopped at the office floor and I took a long breath as the doors flung open. Martin and Evelyn walked out and as I walked out, I saw the staff encircling around us."Welcome, Mr. Harrison." Said a voice beside me. I looked to my side and saw a young lady with a broad smile. I think the first rule I should pass is the dress code. How can she wear such a tight dress and that too such a low tone?.I'm feeling disgusted to look at that. I turned my face away. They all greeted us and we finally reached my cabin. I sat on the chair and Martin and Evelyn sat in front of me."Poor ones are happy that they got new CEO. I pity them for being ecstatic." Martin commented with a scoff and Evelyn let out a light smile in reply."No jokes when you work," I said with a cold tone, and Martin stiffened immediately. A few minutes later I heard the door knock."Come in," I said and the door flung open. The earlier one with that disgusti

"I hate you," Martin said in a low tone while hugging me back."Me too. I'm sorry, I have to be strict till the company gets back to its previous place in the market." I said in a low tone. We broke the hug and I caressed his cheek."You should do this to Evelyn too. She got scolded even without her fault." Martin suggested."I'll apologize but I won't hug her," I said while breaking the hug."Fine, just talk to her." He said with an eye roll."I'll bring the food and also your wife. Wait for us." Martin said with a smile before leaving the place. I sighed and sat back on my chair. Sent another mail to both the companies.Evelyn and Martin came in with food but Evelyn's face was still dull. She's really pissed, yeah I had it coming. We sat on the couch in front of us and started having lunch when Martin elbowed me. I raised my head and gestured to apologize as we agreed earlier. I thought for a while and t
