Silent Rejection 11
She chose clothes to wear. Something formal with a longer skirt. A formal dress would be fine now. She then cleared up a few schedules as she took the bag for her laptop. Now, how is she going to carry all of these downstairs? A knock on the door interrupted her as she quickly went to the door and opened it. “Hello, Miss. A cart for your luggage is here.” She peeked outside to see a few pieces of luggage over it.“Were some of them Mr. Jaxon’s clothes?” “Yes, everything is here.” She nodded and helped the man with the luggage but he insisted on putting it. “Anything else?” She checked everything and shook her head. “That’s all, thank you.” She checked the time as they needed to be there in an hour. She got ready quickly and put her laundry in the basket. Then, she took her bag which contained the gadgets and charger. She went down to the lobby and checked the tablet as she scribbled with the pen on it, waiting for her boss. She checked a few documents and replied to the emai

Three hours of sleeping was enough for her. She stretched her arms and legs as she removed her eye mask and earplugs. She rubbed her eyes and looked around to see that others were sleeping or watching a movie. She peeked at her boss whowas sleeping peacefully. She looked away as she didn't want to stare at his handsome face for long and got caught. Or else, she might fall. She can’t fall in love with anyone. Not to her colleague. Not to her boss. She slipped off and went to the toilet. The attendant stood to assist her but she smiled as she just entered. Weird. Then, as soon as she got out, the attendant handed her wet wipes as she thanked her. “You must be hungry. We have almost everything. Anything you like?” She thought for a while. “Hmm,” she shook her head. “Not for now. But I’ll be fine.” She smiled at her as the attendant nodded. “Please call us if you need anything.” “Okay. Thank you.” She headed back to her seat and realized that there were familiar faces in the first

“We have the HR Director in the business class. Do you want me to call her?” She punched him in the stomach. But he didn’t even bulge. He hugged her tightly. “You are killing me.” She smacked him. Graham sighed. “This is inappropriate, Reid.” She was so embarrassed now as Reid teased her further. “Just go inside the toilet,” Reid said and was pushing Graham. So, they are indeed brothers?She realized that now as she looked up at him, her chin pressed under his chest. She was that small around him. He grinned and twirled her around and gently pushed her forward. “Now, back to your nests.” “That was embarrassing.” She hissed at him. “It’s nothing. I should report you to the HR Director.” He said nonchalantly.“Hey, that’s unfair.” He laughed as he sat down and their drinks were served. Shortly, Graham came with champagne in his hand. “Okay, guys. This is advice for both of you.” He squeezed himself next to Reid since there was still space for two people. “Just get married so t

She ran her fingers through her hair as a big guy approached them with an umbrella in his hand since it was sprinkling from the sky and led them directly to their expensive-looking big van. It didn’t have a company logo at all. He sat next to her and placed a blanket over her thigh. She thanked him as she went on to check their hotel room. “Everything is perfect. Rooms are ready for check-in.” She said and called the hotel to confirm their late dinner. She quickly reached for a tissue and upon smelling some kind of car freshener, she sneezed. “I’m sorry. Please excuse me.” “Bless you,” Echo said as he sneezed out well with his hands on his nose and mouth. “Bless me.” She handed him the box of tissues as she sprayed her hand with the alcohol and the air. “Hannah, how about your dress for the events?” Graham asked. “Quinn is asking. You should coordinate with her.” “I will, sir. Checking in with her.” She said as Reid sighed and turned his head at Graham, glaring at him. “By the w

Their dinner was set up on the dining table by the presidential suite. Graham was trying to be the best employer by feeding Quinn more protein. It was an irony for Hannah. But it was adorable to see Graham taking care of his mate. She’senvious that such a man exists.Most people that she meets are assholes. Including her mate, her ex-boyfriend. She doesn't know if she calls him ex since their relationship was only a game. Reid and Echo seemed to be good guys. That also includes Graham who was busy taking care of Quinn. “Alright, next time you will not be left out,” Graham said. “You made me worried sick.” She was busy eating while glancing at him. “If you would stop canceling your appointments I wouldn’t have to work my ass so hard to get things done,” Quinn said in a monotonous voice as Hanna pressed her lips. Graham was silent as Reid and Echo seemed to be holding their laugh. “Hannah, let me sleep in your room, and let’s check on what they got you to wear for tomorrow.” “Sure,

That night she joked about them being together. He somehow comforted her. He was down as well and he was so stupid not to grab that opportunity. Now, here she is. She doesn’t even want to be touched at all. “You know,” She smiled but it cracked. “That night, it felt like my throat was closing and my chest was in so much pain… seeing him with another and not to the one whom he’s fated with. I would gladly accept it if he said it with words…” She shook her head. “I had known him for a long, but even back then, he was just a dream that I was unable toreach. We were together… we kissed… but I was the other girl. After my years of crushing him, I knew he was just a fantasy, but I just wished that I wasn’t crushed like that.” She exhaled. “Painful words were thrown at me, and I should get used to it. But hearing from him… like I was a toy?” Hannah now remembered that day just after her birthday.He stared at those eyes, it became cloudy. Her eyes were supposed to be siren… a little sharp b

She woke up feeling lighter. Her mood was light and she sniffed the room. She reached between her legs to see if she was bleeding since she felt wet. Her alarm started ringing and she slipped off, cleaning up half of her body. She brushed her teeth and instead of washing her face, she took her ice roller from her mini-freezer and rubbed it on her face and around her eyes to remove puffiness. Then, she quickly got to her vanity mirror and fixed her hair, with curls and hair spray to keep it intact. Then, she put make-up on. Quinn knocked and opened the door. She looked glorious. She gaped at her. “Wow, you are so beautiful.” She complimented with dazed eyes. Quinn turned around. “Of course, I do. Graham made sure that I slept well last night. He gave me a massage.” She said as she approached her.“Here, I’ll help you with makeup.” Quinn taught her how to do fast make-up and she introduced the products that she should use to have a flawless look. She then sprayed her face with water a

They left the venue for a while as she needed to breathe. As soon as they reached outside, he pulled her closer, without realizing that he saw her ex-mate. She looked up at him as he smiled down. “Let’s have some matcha.” “Sure… but I would like some fruit tea for now. Are you going to treat me?” She asked as he checked for his wallet. He sighed and nodded. “Oh, wait. I need to sell my body since I don’t have my wallet.” He said as she sighed. “Yes, that’ll do.” They laughed along as he placed his arm over her shoulders. They went to the bubble tea station to get their drinks. He removed his coat as she held it and while the cashier was waiting for their payment, he was about to remove his shirt. “Wait, you are damn serious?” She asked and frowned. “Yeah, I don’t have money.” She reached her head. “Damn,” She pushed him away as she rummaged through her purse. “I was about to strip to pay for our fruit teas.” He said as the cashier flushed bright red. “I’m sorry.” She apolog
