“I'll take it,” Margaux said and quickly stood up to open the door. But her eyebrows knitted together as soon as it opened and revealed the scene from outside. She looked around but saw nothing which made her puzzled. “Huh? Is someone trying to prank here?” she mumbled in confusion. “Who is it?” Josh queried. Margaux shrugged, “I don't know. There's no one there as I opened the door,” she elaborated. The guy tilted his head and tried to look outside as well from the bed. “Someone is probably pulling a prank,” he stated as he saw nothing as well. “Here? I'll have the CCTV check later. Playing here is not allowed,” she said in a serious tone while closing back the door. Josh wore a huge smile while watching her intently. But Margaux was oblivious of that as she was marching back to her seat. The room filled with silence when she sat back down and caught the guy staring at her again like he did back in her office. Her eyebrows furrowed but he didn't flinch which made the c
“Director,” the Doctor greeted, followed by the two nurses behind him as soon as she opened the door. Margaux blinked several times before she forced herself to shift her gaze to the couple of people right in front her. “Doc, come in..” she said as she stepped sideways. As the Doctor and nurses entered the room, her gaze went back to the person outside. Her eyes narrowed at him but the latter didn't flinch and just stared at her with a very serious expression. She scoffed and turned around to look at Josh and his parents, “I'll just stay here outside,” she muttered. “No need to step out, Margaux. You can stay here.." Mrs Garcia gently stated. But she quickly shook her head, “I will come back immediately, I just saw a friend..” she said. She discreetly cringed at the word ‘friend’ but she couldn't tell them what she was planning to do. It was her business and as much as possible, she just wanted to keep the information about her and Hendrix to her extended family only. “Alrigh
Her body stiffened as she realized what was happening. She wanted to push him, but she suddenly felt weak when his lips started moving. She drew a loud breath as her heart was almost bursting out from beating so wildly. His lips were too soft and the way his tongue moved coaxing to enter in her mouth was sending tiny tingles through her body. “Margaux..” he whispered. Then, slowly she felt his large hands started to travel up her spine and up to the back of her head. Her body shivered and the hair from her nape stood up when his tongue successfully entered her mouth. “Hhm,” a moan involuntarily escaped her lips and she couldn’t help it anymore but to kiss her back with an equal fervor.“Your lips taste so sweet,” Hendrix groaned as he deepened the kiss.Margaux shut her eyes and completely surrendered with the temptation. She lifted her hands and snaked it around his neck while she let him devour her lips. They were in their own world, understanding each other in silence with th
“Are you crazy?!” Margaux hissed and squirmed from his embrace. “Let go of me!”“Yes, I think I'm already crazy,” Hendrix responded. Her body shivered upon hearing that but she kept her heart guarded. She won’t be swayed by his flowery words, as she was sure it only came to his nose and didn’t really mean it. Hendrix probably forgot that she chased him for two years so she knew he was not capable of saying such things. All he knew was to reject women. And the only words coming out from his mouth were nothing but rude and harsh. Although she never heard him cussed, she was pretty sure it was part of his daily life. That’s how he was, not the person he was trying to portray as of the moment. And that was also the reason why she was certain he had a hidden agenda regarding his fake chasing.She stayed still and let him hug her. She knew eventually that he would get tired and let go of her.“You think I will let go eventually, right?” Hendrix suddenly queried. She didn’t answer and rem
Hendrix turned off the phone before tossing it back in her bag. “There,” he said and smiled in satisfaction as if he had accomplished a very huge task. He then turned to Margaux while he put her bag behind him to prevent her from getting it back. Meanwhile, Margaux folded her arms while glaring at him. “What are you doing?!” she asked.Her voice was like ice but he just gave her a wide smile in return which made her gaze sharpened even more.“Stop fooling me!” she snarled.“Fooling you?” His thick eyebrows raised, then shook his head slowly, “I’m not fooling you,” he answered. “You’re not?” Margaux scoffed, “Then, what do you mean by this?” Hendrix looked at her, confused. He didn’t understand what she was trying to say but he was telling the truth when he said he was not fooling her. How can he fool her though? He was scared to do that, especially after she threatened that she would deport him back to the Philippines. He can accept to be banned anywhere and be homeless as long as
Shock was understatement as she looked at Hendrix. She was rendered speechless as she didn't know what to feel about that. “C-chance?” she breathed. She could feel that he was really determined for that chance he was asking for, by the way he was holding her hands and by the way he was looking at her. “I only ask for one chance, Margaux. Just this day..” he pleaded. She averted her gaze as she couldn't look at his brown orbs while he was giving her that intense and penetrating gaze. It was as though he's trying to bewitch her to agree with his request. “Let me think about it,” she could only answer. “Think until we reach my apartment,” he replied almost instantly. Her gaze went back to him but he was already looking out of the window. Her brows furrowed as she couldn't understand what he was thinking. Suddenly, her heart filled with doubt. The confidence he was showing was making her uncomfortable. She wasn't sure but she thought that he was not just doing it for something to g
“You agreed?” Hendrix's eyes glinted in excitement as he asked those questions to Margaux. Meanwhile, Margaux seemed to be in trance and just stared at him absentmindedly. “Margaux?” he called out, a little worried. The woman blinked several times and her eyes widened a little as though she was caught about something. “W-what is it?” she asked, still disoriented. Hendrix tilted his head. He stared at her curiously wondering if she just zoomed out on him. “What were you thinking just now?” he queried. “What? Nothing!” Margaux averted her quickly. His thick eyebrows raised as he stared at her rosy cheeks. It made him curious even more because she seemed to be blushing. “Tell me..” he coaxed. Margaux glared at him. “I said nothing! Do you really want me to agree about your favor or not?” she hissed. Hendrix twisted his lips. It was the main reason as to why he didn't like to be with any woman aside from his mother, of course. They were too complicated and it was so hard to figu
Hendrix couldn't move as he watched Margaux cry. His eyes were wide as saucers while his jaw dropped. “W-why are you crying?” he stuttered. Looking at her, he felt like his heart got ripped in half. His chest constricted and he realized it was more painful to see her like that. Meanwhile, Margaux blinked and quickly touched her face. A silent gasp escaped her lips as though she didn't realize she was already shedding tears. Hastily, she wiped her tears away and chuckled awkwardly. “Sorry, my legs are hurting. I'm not used to sitting like this so..” she excused. Hendrix stared at her silently for a long second before he finally stood up and took his luggage. Without a word, he placed the luggage beside her and offered his hand to her. “Sit here,” he said while tapping his luggage. Margaux stared at him in disbelief. She wanted to refuse and say she was okay, but since she used her legs as an excuse, she didn't protest and just accepted his hand and let him help her to stand up.
