Margaux couldn't move. Her eyes were fixated at the two people in front of her. Her heart was pumping wild, making her blood flow faster than normal and reaching up her head. Her nerves almost exploded out of rage as it finally sank in. The person she hated the most never failed to outdo himself for reaching a new peak on her hate list. “Oh, I thought he was not interested in Leila,” Daisy suddenly commented. Her eyebrows deeply furrowed as she looked at her cousin. “What do you mean?” she queried. Her chest was thumping hard and her mind was closing as it refused to hear anything at the moment. Meanwhile, Daisy smiled at her. Her eyes shone in delight as though what was happening was making her happy. “I told you earlier that I just became a wingman..” she said knowingly. Narrowing her eyes, she tried to remember when she said that and her heart almost fell from its ribcage as soon as she finally recalled it. “Leila had set her eyes on Hendrix the moment she met her in Calli
Her lips parted slightly when Hendrix suddenly looked away. She couldn't name it, but she could feel a hard pinched in her heart when he averted his gaze from her. It was as if he did not recognize her at all. It was weird and also painful. She knew it was what she wanted but experiencing it directly was beyond her expectation. She thought she could handle it. She thought it would be easy because she hated seeing him and having him around. And she lived for three years with him not giving her even just a second glance so she thought there would be no problem if he started avoiding her and acting like they did not know each other. But then she was proven wrong. What she was expecting from herself was nowhere near to reality at all. It was just him looking away though, but it already felt like she was being ignored by him. Just him, sitting back on his chair and sipping on his goblet, acting normal as though she was nothing important, felt like she was being stabbed in the
Hendrix kept clenching his fists too tightly. He could already feel his palms getting wet because of the wound on it as his nails were digging into it. “So, are you going to cooperate?” Leila threw the question as though it was a business proposal for a multi-million dollar project. But in reality it was just about him and Margaux. She was trying to convince him to participate in Daisy's strange plan. Because the woman thought that deceiving her cousin was a great idea to know if she still meant everything that she said to him or she was just lying. He had no idea what was going on. Daisy used to treat him a little harshly. She was even the first person who told Margaux to forget about him. That's why it was a surprise to him that she suddenly wanted to help and even went to the extent of deceiving her cousin for his sake. Cautiously, he stared at Leila and tried to think of the possible reason for the sudden change. “What does Daisy really want to happen?” he queried. The woma
He just froze on his seat. His eyes went wide open as it zoomed in on the newcomers. “They are finally here,” Leila happily announced. His chest was thumping wildly that he thought it was going to explode in any second. As they were getting nearer, the loud pounding of his heart was getting louder and louder.Margaux was very beautiful. That's all he could think of as he watched her strutting towards their direction. Her white dress just complimented her so much. Her simple white dress suited her well and she looked like a goddess who just descended from heaven. He was stunned. “Eyes on me, Hendrix,” Leila suddenly said. Then, she suddenly touched his face and gently moved it to face her direction. Her twinkling eyes met him which instantly snapped him out of his trance and brought him back to reality. “What are you doing?” he hissed and quickly pulled her hand away from his face. But instead of getting offended, the woman just chuckled and sat properly on her chair. “You sho
He regretted it. As soon as they stepped out of the restaurant, he wanted to run back inside and apologize for his action. He didn't know what he was thinking and why he did that. The only thing he knew was he’s extremely nervous when she looked at him with an accusatory look. Those dark blue eyes of hers were just shooting lasers directly at him and he had to avoid it before it hit him. “Fvck it!” he cursed, then quickly threw Leila's hand and turned around. “Where do you think you are going?” the voice asked sternly and immediately blocked his way. He threw her a warning glare but she seemed unaffected and even folded her arms while lifting her chin as she equalled his stares. “Get out of my way,” he said coldly. “You can't go back inside,” she replied. Hendrix clenched his fists as his jaw hardened. His patience was wearing thin. He had been submissive since those men forcibly brought him there until that moment. But he knew he made a mistake and he wanted to correct
“I’m not jealous!” Margaux reiterated. But her annoying cousin just chuckled at her. “Really? You wanted to run after them. Had it not been me stopping you, you probably had made a scene that’s worth being on the news right now,” Daisy pointed out. Her knuckles turned white as she could feel her blood was boiling to the peak. She was cursing her cousin in her mind like a sailor and she swore the woman would not hear the end of it once they got alone. ‘She didn’t have to say that in front of Hendrix!’ she hissed inwardly. ‘What is she trying to get from embarrassing her like that?!’ he gnashed her teeth. “Look at you ready to go as soon as he comes to our table and tell her they should go..” her cousin continued. “Stop. Let’s not talk about that here,” she said through gritted teeth. Daisy raised an eyebrow, “Why?” She glared at her. She had no idea what Daisy was trying to prove, but she was really testing her patience. The only thing that was keeping her from snapping was the
"Margaux!" Daisy called her name and trailed behind her but she just completely ignored her until she exited the restaurant. "Don't be mad at him!" her cousin shouted. She hissed but she didn't look back. Even though she was very tempted to see their faces, she suppressed herself from turning their way and dragged her feet to go forward. However, as soon as she exited the restaurant, her steps instantly halted upon seeing Leila standing in front of her as though she had been waiting for someone, perhaps Hendrix. Her eyes squinted when she saw her lips lifted upon seeing her as though she was the one she was waiting for instead of that man. ‘I knew it!” she exclaimed cheerfully.She wanted to ignore her but her enthusiasm bothered her. “I knew you would walk out on him!” she added then started stepping towards her. “Pardon me?” she frowned. They were not close but they were not strangers either. They don’t have beef with each other since there was no reason for it. However, aft
Margaux’s eyebrows furrowed as she stopped and looked at the guard. “Come again?” she queried. “A truck of roses has been delivered to you, Miss Margaux,” the security guard repeated.Her jaw clenched. Although she should be flattered to receive such things, she couldn’t help but be annoyed because she was never fond of extravagant gifts despite her social status. “From whom?” she inquired. However, before the guard could answer her, someone suddenly appeared behind him and answered instead. “It’s from me,” Josh said. He was smiling wildly at her while carrying a huge bouquet of roses in different colors. It was not the first time that he gave her one if she remembered correctly but the situation now was different. And it was just a normal bouquet then, not a truck nor not even that huge one that he was holding. “For you..” he handed it to her. She stood there immobile and just stared at the flowers. She was thinking whether to take it or not as she did not understand what it
