Rejection and YOU Chapter 22
Denver knitted his brows and stared at me with questioning eyes like he realized what I was trying to say. He propped his elbows on the table and laced his fidgety fingers against each other followed by heavy breathing. "Ara, you know her. We've known each other since our university days. You are aware of that, right? Everything between us is all about business," he made it clear and I felt restless hearing it from him. I kept on listening because my emotion exhausts my energy to the edge that I couldn't respond. "As soon as I settled with my goals in Seattle, I worked hard to push and build my business here in Harrisburg because of you. Only because of you!" he expressed with certainty. I felt like my system got paralyzed as his words penetrated my heart. He shook his head. "Meadow isn't the woman who made me fall in love," he said soberly. My lips parted. I felt like we were talking for like eternity. "Baby, after everything that happened, I still can't make myself unlove you. Y

I didn't know for how long I was in deep thought when I realized that Denver was sitting a seat away from me. Thank goodness there was one more seat that separates us. It was crazy to think that he was at the same resort where I chose to spend my leisure time, he left the hotel on the same day that I did, and we had the same flight. My gut feeling was telling me he did it purposely, but I saw him dealing with his business the entire time, too. Dense!The flight felt extraordinary because I experienced the best services the business class could offer. I was served wine, savory foods, and even dessert. I never once imagined being in the luxurious seat but it already happened.Denver asked me a few times if I need anything but I assured him that I'm fine. Well, I refused him every time because I didn't want us to talk for long. Actually, he was on the edge of winning my heart again, and that I'm scared about. However, I had no plans of showing hints to him yet.When the aircraft landed s

Because of so much exhaustion, I wasn't able to unpack my stuff from my suitcase. Seemed my energy and emotion were congested because of Denver. I couldn't believe he went to that measure. I meant, hired someone to follow me around? Absurd. I flopped on my bed with a heavy feeling and prayed that sleep would knock me down in a breath. I wanted to free myself from disappointments even for a night. I was hoping I won't dream of him in my slumber. Gladly, I was very tired from the flight that the heavens heard what I'm asking for. The next morning, I woke up early and prepped to go to the children's care. I needed to let out my emotional distress and as always, the kids could really make me better. As I checked my mobile device, no piece of any message was received from Denver. I bet he was hit hard by my words the previous day. As soon as I stepped inside the institution, "Hi Ara, we missed you here! How's your vacation?" Mrs. Victoria was joyous at the sight of me. I told her that I

Without concealing any hypocrisy, I felt displeased to learn that it was Meadow. I'm aware she's our incoming clientele because it was mentioned during our yacht dinner that her modeling office is under construction. She was absolutely in need of high-quality glass walls but I did not anticipate that it would be sooner.Indeed, it was ironic because of all the days that Miss Vera could ask for help on a factory visit, coincidentally, it happened when her client is the very last person that I wanted to assist. Not that I don't want, but somehow, I'm not comfortable around her.Since I didn't want to complain about it, I replied and accepted the task. I had no other choice because it was part of my job. I could only wish all of a sudden that Meadow herself would cancel the schedule due to some personal reason. I shook my head at the idiotic thought.The rest of my day ran smoothly, however, I could sense some eyes staring playfully at me whenever I opt to go out of my space. Even Alici

"Wait, I think I remember something," I blurted and she was clearly puzzled because she frowned at me. "It was you and him in the library every afternoon, right?" I was avoiding her questions a few minutes ago but there I was trying the opposite way by getting her attention more. She looked intrigued but a mischievous smile flashed on her beautiful face. I thought it was a good sign.I conversed and focused our topic on our University days so that it won't be that obvious that I'm interested in getting new information about Denver. Thankfully, it appeared to be Iike she got interested in it, too.I was patently dense because the previous day, I wished she would cancel the factory tour as I didn't want to meet her but, all of a sudden, I was the one who madly wanted to get involved in a talk with her. Ridiculous you may say."Oh Yes! It was us!" she sounded thrilled that I recalled them from a few years ago. Seemed we were deeply captivated by the topic. We couldn't stop and clearly, w

"Oh, Mr... Mr... Ford left for London... for a month?" I trailed off unable to hide the surprise in my voice. It felt like something pinched my chest knowing he left without even sparing a goodbye message to me. It was an indication that we won't see each other that long or might be, he chose to stay away from me. However, I couldn't blame him because I was the one who put that gap between us. I presumed he gave up. Meadow twisted her lips and seemed she had something in mind. "Yeah, he mentioned he need the break because someone is pissed at his presence here in Harrisburg. Vague right? Do you think it's a woman?" She creased her brows and the curiosity was visible. "I mean, if it's a man, for sure he won't back down. Do I make sense?" and added with a puzzled stare. I swallowed the lump that lingered in my throat because of the tension inside me. My stomach was churning and I felt all sweaty although the weather was gloomy. I faked a cough. "Haven't you heard he's dating someone

Finally, after our employees' hard work and sleepless nights in the factory, the delivery of glass walls to ZDF Electronics was completed. Engr. Warren represented their company and signed the acceptance documentation when we visited their temporary office. We settled all the paperwork that was needed under the requisition reasonably. Denver, still, was out of sight because he extended his stay in London for about two months. I believed that many projects piled up under him for being an undoubtedly good businessman. In addition to that, absolutely, because of their extraordinary services. Aside from it, he already has massive clients and connections around the industry. I was upset that he didn't come back, but I had no right to complain. I slipped that right when I rub on his face that I didn't want anything to do with him anymore. After I replied with a simple "thank you" for his birthday presents, he made it a habit to send a bouquet of roses every Friday afternoon to my house.

On the weekend, I spent all my time attending to Catie. It wasn’t that hard for me adjusting to having her in my life because I’m used to taking care of children in the center. Thankfully, Catie was cooperative and we got along well.“Catie, put all your toys back on the stand,” I told her gently after we played in her room. I bet after being with me for two days, she got accustomed to our setup. Gradually, it was sinking into her mind that it is now the two of us together until she reaches her legal years. It doesn’t matter if she chooses to stay with me beyond that years, what’s important is we stick together and have each other’s back no matter what.Monday came and I needed to leave her to her nanny. In a short span of days, I was deeply attached to my sweet little girl. I believed it was a mutual feeling because she was clearly on the verge of tears when I bid her goodbye to go to work.“Morning, Miss Vera,” I handed over the hard copies of Meadow’s purchase request for her signa

I succeeded in inviting Ciara to dinner and had the chance to talk about us. I got to say those things I hid inside my heart for a long time. Although it wasn't as easy as I expected for her to grasp my reasons, I tried my luck to make her understand. Unfortunately, she was resolute about her decision not to get us back together. However, giving us up wasn't included in my options. Not that I could sense she was gradually losing her guard against me. Unlike the first few weeks of seeking her attention, I could tell she was getting more amicable toward me. Traveling from Cancun back to Harrisburg went smoothly. I offered to send her home after the rain poured unexpectedly and at that moment she agreed, I thought it was a good sign for the two of us. Unluckily, after being careless, it only ended to be the worst. She discovered I got someone around to get her followed and that made her infuriated. I did my best to justify my basis yet it only went into nothing. Rationalizing my action w

As soon as I got back to Seattle, I resumed the business launching with Mr. Barnes. In a short period of time, it was a hit. Competitors were astounded by the newest innovation from One Guard Electronic System. Clients and business associates lined up to get our services. In a span of a year, after introducing the design I uniquely created, it gave so much benefit to the company. Mr. Barnes's riches tripled just like that."Mr. Barnes, I'm ready to build my own company in Harrisburg," I discussed my plan with him. I negotiated it before we started the debarkation of the design in Seattle and I told him it was time for me to go back to my State. I was able to help him to reach the top of the industry and I believed, it was enough for him to let me go.With thorough deliberation, we ended up with a discreet decision. As he was hesitant to totally omit me from his company, he suggested building my own in Harrisburg yet we would be still connected with each other. My business would be in

DENVER's POVEverything between us seemed perfect and we were contented around each other until my near graduation. Mr. Parker laid out opportunities for me from different companies and their offerings were tremendously enticing. I was overwhelmed and it was hard to choose from the list. Mr. Parker was the reason why I got so many proposals to pick from because I was really eyed for my potential. As we discussed the best company that could give me the fastest growth, One Guard Electronics Systems caught my attention. As I read their company profile and the main concept of the business, I was triggered to be part of the team. Their structure was what I'm looking for. However, it wasn't as simple as I thought. It would be in Seattle and it was a home program. I would be away for around 2 to 4 years depending on how rapidly we could program the possible security system device project for every household. The company was aiming to create the most innovative program and be number 1 in th

DENVER'S POV When I went to college, it was just a typical apartment and campus daily routine. I was keen to finish my course on top because I believed I'm capable of it. I swore to just focus on my studies and avoid vices that could be a distraction along the way. Among those were partying, smoking, drugs, and women. I had my goals and timeline of everything that I wanted in life. I'm very particular with my plans as well as utilizing my full potential in my chosen field. I only had a few friends while at the University. I couldn't say they were my best friends because I didn't want to get close to anyone around. I was very occupied with my lessons and I used to be alone just to review and ace my exams. Yet sometimes, even if we do things in our own ways and how much we try to stay away from all the diversions we set for ourselves, there will always be something to occur beyond our control. One afternoon, I was sitting under a gigantic tree trying to solve a calculus problem whe

"Baby, relax! Let's get you to the hospital," Denver was trying to calm me down yet he was looking more freaked out knowing I was going to give birth. I held onto him because the pain was increasing and the contraction did not subside. "Mommy, what is going on?" Catie was frightened seeing us panic-stricken. Mindy grabbed her hand and told her to stay away from us because the baby is coming very soon. Denver called Alfie and in haste, the car was in front of our house. Gladly, we were able to collect all the necessary stuff in preparation for my delivery and readied it in the compartment of the vehicle. Truth be told, we organized everything a month before my expected due date. As soon as Denver settled me in the back seat, we left the house in a hurry. Inside the labor room, the nurses were very accommodating. I felt like my energy got drained because of the pain. I was all sweaty while Denver kept on caressing my back. The pity and worry mixed up and it was clearly printed on h

Meadow organized a baby shower party a week before my expected delivery date. She decorated one of our living rooms into a party event space. When I was called by Lea to go downstairs, my lips parted at how beautifully embellished our place was. Unaccountable blue balloons were hanging everywhere and bags of presents were gathered on a table near the improvised platform."This is too much, Meadow," I was still in awe. She pulled me towards the center before she motioned for Iris to start the program. The two of them prepared a few games that we enjoyed so much as well as delicious food to gobble on. Well of course, with the help of Mindy. The cupcakes were so enticing that I got to eat two pieces in a row.Honestly, it was only an intimate party because we only got those we used to have around the house every day. After opening all the gifts they prepared for the baby, Catie presented to sing for me and for her little brother. We all gathered to listen to her and it was a wonderful of

My Dearest Ciara,I know that a million apologies can't suffice for the unfair treatment I have done to you. It was improper to leave you and your Mom. Even if I got the chance to explain everything to you, you wouldn't understand my reasons. I ain't a perfect father to you and far from being one because I'm covered with flaws and faults. I inflicted so much pain in your heart and I can't blame you for the hatred you possessed for me. I'm not expecting your forgiveness but I just want you to know that I feel very sorry for everything I have done. I'm very proud of what you have become. You are strong and you deserve the happiness the almighty is pouring onto you and your family. We don't deserve any help from you but you chose to still deliver kindness in return. Maybe whatever is happening to me and my family is a retribution for all my sins. I was so selfish way back for following my happiness which caused you and your mom to suffer from the pain and hardships moving forward.

"Calm down! It's Brie telling me she bought a luxury bag online," Iris spoke vaguely. My brows crinkled at why she overreacted to Brie buying a bag. She was exaggerated as always. "What's with the bag?" Meadow couldn't get it too. "Guess who was the seller?" Iris asked and we couldn't think of someone. Honestly, we were not fond of buying luxuries online. Not sure about Meadow but as far as I knew she used to visit and see the items firsthand before acquiring them. "It's the bitch, Olga!" she exposed that Olga sold the handbag for a meager price. Meadow and I stared at each other in disbelief. "Are you sure?" Meadow asked her one more time. Even I couldn't believe that Olga went to the extent of selling her valuable possession. It was an attestation that she is running out of money for her bills and everyday expenses. "Karma is real," Iris muttered although we did not wish Olga to suffer such misery. "Alright, enough of her. Let's go get some food, I'm hungry," I complained bec

Felt like my heart was ripping into pieces to see my friend at a total loss sitting outside of the hospital morgue. She was covered in sorrow and in despair. If only she could hand over some of the pain she was dealing with in her heart, I would be glad to carry it just to lessen its heaviness. "Iris, please know that we are here for you." I consoled her cautiously because I knew she only have her mother left when her Dad passed away. And now that the most important human being in her life was gone, the devastation engulfed her entire system. I could absolutely feel the heartache because I experienced being left alone by my parents. Although our situation was different, the throbbing of our hearts did not vary. "Where is Mason?" I asked and she told me he was talking to one of the hospital staff about the arrangement of her Mom's discharge. Mason offered to settle everything because he knew Iris was mentally and emotionally wrecked. "Condolences, Iris," Denver offered his sympathy
