Episode 9

Jacob drove the car in the parking lot of his new company's basement. He looks at Alisha who has been admiring the company with her beautiful eyes. He smiles and assists in putting off the belt for her.

" We are here.. Let's go. Today you will choose the office room for me" He said. Alisha nods being whipped by his appealing voice. She can't help but feel special in his every action.

Jacob gets off first and ushers Alisha in the elevator. Her gaze shifts across the whole parking lot and captures the spaciousness underground

" Why is this so spacious? How many cars can be kept in here?" She said with her curiosity while scurrying behind him.

" Almost 200, I guess. " Jacob answers and gently pulls her inside the elevator. Alisha makes her mouth like an English character 'O' while imagining the number of cars together in one place.

Jacob meanwhile pivoting her, takes some hair and starts twirling them around his finger. He is observing Alisha's 'lost in thoughts' position.

" How many employees are you going to appoint? It must be as large as my father's company. " Her words make Jacob frown. She is talking like a kid who never worked in a company. But according to his knowledge about Alissa, She is the deputy director of the finance department in her company.

" Well. Alissa. Why don't you go to work? You work at your Dad's company. Don't you?" Jacob asked. He sometimes can't find the similarities between the Alissa he learned from Alissa's mother and the Alissa he has been with.

Meanwhile, Alissa purses her lips, She squeezes her new dress. Her body is having perspiration because of his sudden question. She looks at Jacob nervously and nods. She felt like she was having a trial inside the prison like confession extracts under duress..

.Dad told me to accompany you until we get engaged. You need to know about our city. He doesn't want me to let you feel lonely ". She is somehow able to make up an instant excuse but she is scared that Jacob won't buy her words.

" I see. No wonder. Anyway, I felt honored that you don't want me to feel lonely " He whispers placing her hair behind her ear. She blushed and almost swooned when she heard his whisper what sounded so appealing...

While flirting with each other, They reached at the floor 10. Where Jacob decided to design it as his office room. He shows Alisha the way inside. Alisha's attention goes to the room. She excitedly steps inside, The frosted glass wall and the innermost spacious lobby give a great vibe. Suddenly she realized she would have been more interested in Painting something new if she had this room for herself..

" Do you like it? " Jacob utters the words softly. He can see the satisfaction in her eyes. Her pupils danced. She likes the room so much...

" Can you attach a room and a private lobby with your office? Like, for spending time alone. This is the best place to enjoy the busy city in the evening " Her eyes are still outside of the room. She folds her hands together. The excitement is visual in her expression...

" Whatever you wish to. We may have a perfect office romance. What you say?" He smirks, making Alisha blush... She hastily moves here to there acting like she didn't hear what Jacob said.

Jacob chuckles, wrapping his arms around her waist...He lifts her and starts spinning her...

" Hey...Hey!! Stop this. I feel dizzy" She shouts while laughing.. Jacob didn't say anything, his mischievous grin appeared on his face and kept spinning...

" Jacob Williamson.. I hate you... Let me go. I feel dizzy" She snarls hitting his chest lightly... Jacob laughs out loud and stops in front of the glass wall...

" Are you out of mind? I am feeling nauseous now.." She gave another hit on his chest and gasped for air. Jacob smiles hugging her from behind and rests his chin on her shoulder.

" The city is really beautiful... It won't be great to enjoy the evening together from here... We can enjoy the starry night or moonlight" Jacob murmurs, He is looking forward to a beautiful life and future with Alissa...

" I hope so" She answers with a plain voice...

Alisha purses her lips. She can't smile on this matter. Because the bitterness of the truth and reality extremely hurt her. She can only imagine the future but she can't have them for real. At some raw twilight, she will be somewhere else as Alisha but he will enjoy the moment with her sister.

Or under a beautiful moonlight, Jacob and Alissa will enjoy the soft grass on some field near the city, watching the dandelions playing with the wind, He will put a daisy on her sister's hair and kiss her with showering love... On another hand, She is staring at the moon with her nipped heart and will miss Jacob which will be dreadful for her...

Her love will end as an unfinished story while writing her sister's happy ending. She is happy with that. Love doesn't mean you have to get the person you love, Love means being happy for the person you love...

" Shall we go on a date? I wanna walk by the Riverside holding your hand like we used to do when we were kids" Jacob suggested tilting his head, still keeping his chin on her shoulder.

Alisha looks at him and smiles. " Why not? I would like to.."

She faces Jacob while answering. Jacob touches her face and rubs his thumb on her soft lips. She blushes at his action. She knows Jacob is addicted to her lips. She enjoys it as well. Every time he kisses her, She tries to clear her mind. While kissing, She doesn't think of him as real Jacob but as a fantasy. After all, After the engagement, She won't have any right to think of him as a fantasy either. He will be her legal brother-in-law who will belong to her sister only.

Even though, She knows, In Jacob's heart, She doesn't exist.. All This passionate love, his compassionate heart is only for Alissa, She can't help but be greedy to lose in the fantasy...
