A churning stomach woke me up. When I opened my eyes, the white ceiling welcomed me. Then I looked around and my forehead furrowed because I was already in a hotel room.
But how did I get here? Don't tell me . . . he carried me from getting off the plane to going up here? Oh, God! That was too embarrassing! I slept too much!
My stomach churned again so I get up and quickly looked for something to eat. But I couldn't find anything. I don't even know the hotel's food service line either. So I don't have a choice but to dine out.
I wore a thick cardigan before leaving the room. I think it is winter season here in Korea so the wind breeze is freezing cold.
I immediately headed to the restaurant when I got off at the hotel. I didn't even bother to check at my

Chapter 25: JealousIn the following days, I was always just tailgating to my boss as well as Traise while overseeing the construction of the C-Mall and C-hotel. Both of them are hands-on and I can see how serious they are with this project. And that’s what impresses me whenever the two of them are working together. So I am trying my best to help them in the way that I can.For two consecutive days, they did the planning together with the Engineers and Architect that were assigned for the project, and then they went for a site tour. From time to time, I get involved in their conversation especially when I am asked for ideas, and then bring them some snacks. But often, I am just beside them silently listening while waiting for them to finish.On the third day, their schedule was a bit loose except for my boss who was still talking on the phone from time

Chapter 26: SottishIt is almost midnight and I am still wide awake. I was just tossing and turning in bed since earlier that I have eaten my dinner together with Traise. I could not fall asleep as my conscience is eating me up. It is because my boss has not returned to the hotel since he went out earlier at six.Our room is just adjacent to each other. Perhaps, he has chosen it that way so he could monitor me or what. That is why I will know if he got back already. But the other room is still quiet up until now, so I am sure he has not come back yet."Will you stop worrying, Lura Elise?! Your boss is old enough not to be worried about. He can take care of himself," I convinced myself just to calm down and then tried to turn a blind eye about him.But half an hour later, I was still not visited b

J) I don't know what I would feel after hearing what he just said. If I will be happy because it means he likes me too—he won't be jealous of me and Traise like that if he doesn't have feelings for me, or if I will be upset because some part of my brain says he is just toying with my feelings. It is hard to believe that he is acting like this towards me when he already has a girlfriend. What does he want to accomplish? Does he want me to be a third party? No! I am not that kind of woman and I am not selfish. I won't let myself be the reason for someone's heartache. I can’t take that. So instead of believing what he says it is better for me to s

Chapter 28: ConfessionThe sun was up outside but here I am, still lying in the bed. I feel like I am dreaming. I never imagined this moment would happen—to watch my boss in his deep sleep.Far from his usual form, I am seeing him right now. His forehead was not furrowed. And his face was gentle as if he were sleeping like an angel.I smiled sweetly when he moved slightly. His long hair was tangled so a few strands of it fell into her eyes. I raised my right hand then moved it aside gently and returned it to its original position.When I am done, instead of lowering my hand, it moved spontaneously as if it had a brain of its own and caressed his face—from his thick eyebrows, sharp nose, up to his thin red lips.I swallowed hard at the same time my heart pounded erratically as I focused my

We already sent him to his condo unit because he didn’t bring his car.From: Handsome TraiseSun - 2:40 pmWhere are you, Lu? Damn! I'm so tired. Fucking jet lag. I'll just take a nap.

Chapter 30: Veracity "What are you, Elise? A plumb? Come here," he muttered in a serious tone as he gestured his hand in the vacant space beside him. We are now here inside his office. He is sitting at the couch while I choose to just stand near the door so that whatever happens I can easily run away. I am a bit hesitant to come closer to him because based on his serious aura right now, he doesn't seem to be in a good mood. Perhaps, he was really mad about what I had posted on I*******m. But I don’t understand why he would be. I don't see anything wrong with that. Traise just simply put his arms across my shoulder while I smiled at the camera. So, I really don't get it why would he be furious at that. I sighed and seriously looked at him. "No, I'm fine here,"

He was then got alarmed and immediately attended to me. He picked up the prepared bottled water from the coffee table where we were eating and then gently gave it to me while caressing my back.After a while, he clicked his tongue. "Are you okay? I told you to eat slowly," he scolded me, his voice reflecting concern.I swallowed once again and then heaved a sigh of relief when I can already breathe properly. Then I put down the bottled water back at the coffee table before I faced him and awkwardly smiled at him."I'm fine," I assured him. He th

Chapter 32: FerventI covered my mouth as I couldn’t stop myself not to sob. My tears instantly flow the moment I let them fall. I am so overwhelmed right now that I could help not to be emotional.I never thought he would love me this much that he could shout that to the whole world. He just proclaimed me as the woman he loves to the whole company and for me, that was more than enough rather than having just a label in our relationship.Because of that, I realized that he really deserves to be loved even if he is not the man I dream of. I just hope he can stand it up until the end.The surroundings became even louder when everyone applauded. I just hugged him and buried my face in his chest. I don't want everyone to see how emotional I am in this matter because it is so damn embarrassing."Hush, Love.

The newlyweds had just arrived at their rented hotel room in Britain—the exact place where Gavin was born and raised until he reached the age of ten, and this is where they both agreed to spend their honeymoon. Elise almost held her breath when her husband immediately leaned her on the door, the moment they entered the room and then abruptly undressed her by tearing her dress in half. That is why her husband can now freely stare at her body. "Fuck! So lovely," Gavin mumbled as he caressed his wife’s nakedness through his gaze.
