Scott's POVI started coughing after I realized what she just said. Wow! She was looking down at me while I continued coughing, gripping on my table. I feel like I'm dying now. I can feel my blood rushing through my veins and my neck feels so hot. F-ck!Thankfully, I was able to recover from my cough before I die here. I lifted my face and stared back at Solana. "What?""Do you like me?"I gasped and cursed in my head. She really asked again. Damn! Jordan will kill me. That lunatic will think that I'm seducing his wife. It's so hard to be so handsome.I heaved a sigh and massaged my temple. Clearing my throat, I looked at her again. "What… made you think that I'm interested in you? Don't get me wrong. It's just so… So, what gives you an idea of that thought?"She shook her head. "You've been favoring me, sir."I sucked my breath and slowly nodded. Okay! That's reasonable. She would really think that I like her 'cause I've been interfering with her life. But hey! That's because her lun
Solana's POVI was staring at the air while sitting on my chair. Now that I have calmed down, I realized what I have done. I just suspected the Vice President of the Muller Group and accused him of wanting me secretly. Gosh! I must've gone insane! What if he fires me? No! I need to save my dignity. I need to apologize for what I did. Why am I so careless and impulsive?"Sol!"I lifted my face and saw Helena looking at me. Behind her was Hershey, who's grinning from ear to ear. What? Did they hear what I did?I swallowed hard and turned to Shun and Warren. They're all looking at me."Come on! You're gonna treat us tonight," Helena excitedly exclaimed while giggling.Oh! That was it? I thought they heard about what I did. But… Did I agree to treat them tonight? I can't remember. I need to save money, so I think I'll have to refuse tonight.Scratching the back of my head, I looked at them. "Uh… Can we postpone it? I promise I'll treat you next time. We can even have a drink."Helena squi
Solana's POVI was slapping my cheeks, waking myself up. I spent three days working on my design for the project collaboration with the SLJ Company. I was unable to sleep properly, nor eat. I don't even have time to do the house chores. It was always Jordan, who's doing everything in the house."What happened to your eyes?"I looked at Shun, who put a cup of coffee on my table. I smiled at him. "Thanks for the coffee."He nodded and sat on his chair which was across from me. He cocked an eyebrow. "You have dark circles around your eyes, Sol. Have you been working overnight?""Kind of. I need to work hard since this is my first project."He nodded and smiled. "You're one hell of a designer, Sol. I believe you'd be one of the top designers this year. I won't even doubt if you get promoted within a year of working here," he paused and chuckled. "… You can replace Miss Wong."My eyes widened and I looked around. He laughed hard and I just shook my head in disbelief. This guy!Miss Wong ca
Solana's POVI angrily rolled my eyes after I blocked Hans' number on my phone. He keeps on calling me and it's irritating the hell out of me. He cheated on me. He betrayed me and he doesn't have the right to ask me for another chance. He won't be needing another chance if he didn't break my heart. He was the reason behind our break up and he can't just do what he wants.Dropping my phone on the kitchen sink, I thought of the days I spent with Jordan. He helped me. He unknowingly helped me move on and I owe him big time for that.I glanced at the wall clock and heaved a sigh, realizing it's already midnight and Jordan hasn't home yet. He called me three hours ago saying he'd come home late.I smiled as I continued baking cookies. I missed Jordan. We haven't talked for a while now. I've been very busy with the project and I want to make it up to him.A few minutes later, the door swung open. Jordan entered and he immediately went to me. He hugged me from the back and kissed my cheek as
Solana's POVI don't know what to say. I was just staring at Jordan for God knows how long. I cleared my throat and put the cookies in the microwave oven. I felt my cheeks heating. He just indirectly admitted that he's jealous and I don't know why he became so easily jealous. I mean… does he like me? Is he falling for me? Does he feel the same way as I feel?"Tell me, Solana. Am I not handsome? Am I not attractive?"I gasped. Why would he think like that? He's the reason why my heart keeps racing. He affects me in so many ways, so his questions were ridiculous.I chewed my bottom lip and faced him. I nervously laughed. He stared at me with reddish ears and neck. He looked so shy but his eyes were showing determination and intensified emotions."Ah!" I nervously chuckled. "You have similar shapes, Jordan."Well, it's true. He has the same body shape as Mr. Muller. But of course, I find my husband more attractive and handsome than Mr. Muller. Jordan's large frame seems like dominating e
Solana's POV"Sol," Pierce called my name. "Waiting for someone?"I'm standing alone at the entrance of the Muller Group's building. Helena, Shun, Warren and even Miss Wong already left. I was just waiting for a cab since I decided to buy a gift for Jordan. After what happened to us last night, I realized that he really has the right to touch me since we're legally married. Although we had an agreement, nothing can change the fact that I actually married him which gives him the right to own me. And to make up for my lackings, I decided to buy him a gift. Even just a simple gift.I smiled at Pierce. "I'm waiting for a taxi. I want to buy a gift for Jordan."His expression changed. It darkened but I didn't pay much attention to his reaction."Why?" I asked as I glanced at my wristwatch.He slowly flashed a smile. "Are you going to the mall?""Yup!" I nodded."Great! I'm going there too. We can go together," he said smiling as his car came. The security guard who drove his car handed him
Solana's POVI balled my fists as Stacey's sweet smile flashed back in my mind. That evil witch! I knew she wouldn't do any good. She would really do everything to put me in great danger. She could even stoop so low, so she can make me suffer in any way."Ma'am, please come with me to the office," the security guard strictly asked.I shook my head. "It wasn't me!""What's the matter?" Pierce came back and looked at the security guard."Sir, she stole."I clenched my jaws and roamed my eyes around. I couldn't find Stacey anymore. Damn her!Pierce glanced at me with a creased forehead. "That's impossible."The security guard showed the brooch to Pierce. "I found this in her bag, sir. After the alarm beeped. This is shoplifting.""I didn't shoplift," I said to the security guard in irritation. "Someone put that inside my bag."The security guard laughed. "That's an old and overused reason, ma'am. Please come with me to the office."He attempted to touch my arm, but Pierce angrily blocked
Solana's POVI walked towards Jordan and tiptoed to kiss his cheek. He just stared at me with nothing on his expression."Sorry, I came home late," I whispered as I watched him stare at my face. Is he jealous? Probably, but there's nothing to feel jealous about."Why are you so late? It's almost midnight." His voice was cold and he's obviously pissed.I heaved a sigh and caressed his cheek. I tiptoed again and kissed him on the lips as I whispered. "Are you jealous? He's Pierce Adams, my workmate. He offered to give me a ride since it's yeah…it's almost midnight."I chewed my bottom lip as I watched his expression soften. "So, why did you come home so late?""Something happened," I started as we walked upstairs. "I almost got arrested because of shoplifting. Luckily, the truth has been revealed."He stopped and faced me. "Shoplifting?""Yeah. My ex workmate put something very expensive in my bag and I was accused of shoplifting."He clenched his jaws as his expression darkened again.
