CINDY AND ZOE are waiting for a cab when suddenly an Audi stops in front of them.

Cindy grimaced and looked at Zoe.

Zoe arched her brow and shrugged her shoulders.

They are about to move to the other side when the window on the passenger side opens. Their eyes widened, and Zoe heard Cindy gasp when they saw the person in the driver’s seat.

“Grant?”

Grant smiled at them. “Come on, ladies. I’ll drive you home,” he said, making Cindy arch her brow.

“Are you following us?” Cindy asked.

Grant smirked. “Of course not. This is a coincidence. And if you don’t get in…” he paused and raised his phone, “—I will call Helios right away, Zoe,” he added.

Zoe clenched her fist and walked to the left. She opened the back door.

Cindy was about to follow when Grant stopped her.

“I don’t want to be your driver. At least, you, seat in front,” he said.

Cindy didn’t bother to talk and just rolled her eyes as she got in.

“So, where do you want to go, ladies—”

“Home!” Cindy and Zoe said in unison.

    “SO, what’s your decision, Zoe?” Cindy asked the next day at their work. It’s still early, so they’re sitting while sipping coffee paired with bread.Zoe shook her head. “I don’t know. I am distracted. I can’t think clearly.”Cindy heaved a deep sigh. “You know what… I experienced falling in love too, but it was unrequited; he didn’t know about it until one day. I confessed—even if I knew that he would reject me, I still told my true feelings. Because the more I keep it myself, the more I get distracted and even get weak.”Cindy reached for her left hand. “Love is all about taking risks, Zoe. You must know that.”Zoe pressed her lips and nodded.Cindy sighed. “In the end, it doesn’t matter what other people think about whether or not taking risks for love is a good idea; we do it anyway. The most potent weapon a person can wield is fear. Fear of being harmed, ridiculed, making mistakes, failing, and not achieving our objective. It’s possible that fear keeps us from pursuing our goals

And then I remembered what had happened to us the night before.I smiled as I looked at the most amazing man I’d ever met in my entire life. We took each other nearly five times last night and wouldn’t have stopped if we weren’t tired. One of the inexplicable feelings is the way Cal devours me.

    Zoe’s POVI was wondering the whole day what had happened to Cindy. I tried to look for her in the neighborhood, but she was not there. I wanted to call her number after she called, but she turned it off. An overthinker like me feels like something is going on.I waited for her at the café the next morning and speaking of the witch; she had just entered the café. I walked in front of the countertop and crossed my arms in front of my chest.I saw how her eyes widened when she met my gaze.“What happened? Don’t give lies because it means friendship is over,” I threatened. However, I don’t mean it. Cindy rolled her eyes at me and pouted her lips.“Did you have sex with Cal—” I didn’t finish my words when she dashed over me and covered my mouth?“Gosh! What’s wrong with you?” she asked as she pulled me to the counter.I frowned and pushed her away.

It’s been so hard for him to know that Zoe is just a little bit far away from him and the worst thing was, his cousin found her, but he didn’t even tell him.“What’s your purpose? Why?” Helios walked towards Grant’s table and slammed his desk.Grant raised his hands. “Calm down, and let’s talk—”“Shut up!” Helios moved closer to Grant and pierced his glare at him. “You knew I hate it when someone is toying at me. You know me, Grant. I trusted you because—”“I… I was supposed to tell you about it, but Zoe begged—”“Zoe?” Grant could see the pain in Helios’s eyes. He felt pity at the same time, scared.“What about her?”Grant took a deep breath and sighed. “She begged me not to tell you about it. I made a promise

Of course, I am visiting my fiance,” she replied as she sat on the side of Helios’s desk.Helios stopped tapping the keyboard and met Chloe’s gaze. “We’re not yet engaged–”“Yeah, because you’re prolonging it,” she interrupted. She raised her left hand and stared at her fingernails.“Call off the engagement. I am not interested,” Helios said, but Chloe just laughed and tapped his table.“I can’t do anything about that. Don Lincoln, your father, already set everything.”Helios clenched his fist and moved his swivel chair backward. “I will talk to him.”Chloe stood up and crossed her arms in front of her chest. “Try it if you can.”“You knew that I love someone else–”“But Zoe doesn’t love you, babe.
