2024-10-29 19:42:56Somewhere on an uphill road, Charles pulled over. He opened the door for her, a charming smile on his face. Before they went out, he warned her about the cold and so he lent her a thick jacket and now she’s wearing it.
Indeed it was cold when she got out of the cold, but his jacket was providing enough warmth. Stella looks around and her eyes grew large, sparkling at the overlooking view of the city. The city lights were fascinating, something about a fairy tale dream of her recalled.
“Why bring me here?” she asked softly.
“This is one of my sad places,” he answered, slowly wrapping his hands around her waist.
“Sad? Are you feeling sad?”
“No,” he chuckled, “just wanted to show you something that cheers me up.”
“It’s really cold out here,” she murmurs.
“Ain’t I keeping you warm?”
“You do.”

There she sees Charles against the doorway with an attractive smile on his face.“How long have you been standing there?” she asked, her cheeks pinkish from his gazes. For all she knows, he could have seen her adoring the dress.“Not quite long,” he answered.

There were countless shaking hands that happened. Somehow, it exhausted Stella, introducing herself over and over again. There are some seconds in which she thought they know her by the glitters from everything she's wearing than her name. Charles' girlfriend, they'd address her as."May I excuse myself?" Stella whispered to Charles' ear. She is having headaches from being around them too much."Going to the bathroom?" he asked, looking at her."Just up for a--""Felius!" Someone shouted and everyone looked one way.There, she saw who they call the most powerful businessman in the country, the one and only, Felius Castigado. He was walking mightily towards them.

The guest were all heading out when Charles finally found Stella. She had a big smile on her face and he sighed heavily, making his way to her."When were you? I've been looking everywhere for you.""I snuck out of the garden," she answered, her face glowing. "There are lots of plants! And guess who I met?""You met someone?" His brows raise."Uh-huh," she nodded, "I'll tell you all about it in the room. Can I go upstairs now? My feet aren't used to these heels just yet.""Yeah, sure. I'll follow."Stella didn't say anything and rushed upstairs. Charles was left to wonder why she seemed so energetic. Who the hell did she meet? It won't be Jason. She said she finds him annoying.So, Charles went to bid the other guests goodbyes. They do that after a party. The host would be at the door receiving everyone's pleasure in being invited by the Castigados.After all the guests left the Castigado's mansion, Felius is again welcomed by

"When are we parting?" Those words rippled inside of Charles' head. He didn't expect that she would bring it up just right after the party. Yes, they can break the contract since the important part is done but if Felius says they want them to stay, they have to."Are you in a hurry to end this?" he asked with a straight face. The room started to get gloomy. It smells of business. "I did say a month.""It's to prepare myself," she answers. "I'm not in a rush."Charles looks down, thinking what else could prevent this. He doesn't want to let her go just yet."If you want the remaining balance, I can--""No! Why are you even mentioning that right now?""Well, we're talking about the deal. It can't be helped." Stella was giving him this frustrated look but he couldn't quite get it if she wants it to end so bad or... "Listen, we'll know tomorrow. If it's okay to leave, we'll part ways.""Alright," Stella softly said. She stand up and

Charles just arrived at his office, closing the door behind him when he saw Andrea sitting in front of his desk. Her long flawless legs were displayed and her eyes seductively stared at him. A smirk then formed on her lips as she gets off the table and walks like a model to him."Good morning, baby boy!" she greeted Charles, wrapping her hands around his neck. "Did you have a good night?""Better than you'd expect," he answers nonchalantly, taking off her arms just casually and walking past her. "What are you doing in my office so early, Andrea?""I do this before!"Charles didn't know he'd deal with this bullshit this early though he had seen this coming when she announced her return. He sighed heavily as he sat down."Time changes, Andrea. I ask you to leave my office if you have no more to say."But Andrea scoffed away Charles' words and folded her arms across her chest.

Little did she know Crolletta kept glancing at her."Are you alright, my dear?" the old woman asked Stella, snapping her back to reality.Stella immediately turned and plastered a smile, shaking her head side to side. "Yes, granny. I might just be missing Charles," she lies."Oh, my! Well, my grandson is blessed to have you, Stella.""I wouldn't say that." Stella looks away. She's just somebody who happened to stumble into Charles. They don't know each other that well and they'll be breaking up soon too."Why would you say such a thing, dear?" Crolletta's voice was soft and comforting. "Enlighten me.""Well... Charles is very charming, very caring and thoughtful. He's stubborn and annoying too but he is sweet like a cake candy." She stops to softly laugh
