“I guess you have no other option but to just keep silent and let that news spread around..” Daisy suggested. Margaux shook her head, not liking the idea. “You really have no choice, babe,” her cousin stated. Shutting her eyes, she let out an exasperated sigh and massaged her temples. Not wanting to pretend just to keep a good public image, she refused to agree with her cousin's suggestion. She would not lie about that part even if people won't believe her at all. She heard a loud sigh from Daisy while Dinah and Saab remained silent. Aware that it really was not a big deal if ever she chose what her cousin's had suggested, it was her pride and her dignity that was stopping her from doing it. “Do you have other solutions in mind?” Saab queried. Pursing her lips, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at her cousins with a very serious expression. “I will tell my truth..” she stated. “Are you sure about that?” Daisy frowned. She looked at her cousin blankly before nodding. “I’m
“Why?” Margaux scowled. Daisy shook her head vehemently and clicked her tongue. She looked very angry which made her really curious. “Do you remember the woman who made a scene at your welcome party?” Saab interrupted. The creases on her forehead deepened as she turned to Saab with a puzzled look. She didn’t have a sharp memory but there were two women who made a scene in that event, Wilma and Roxanne. She doubted them both because they were already banned in the country. And Wilma just made an appearance on their national television so it was definitely not her. “That witch came back. I don’t know how she managed to enter here in England and she seemed very confident when I told her she would be immediately deported!” Daisy hissed. “Who?” she frowned. Although her chest was already drumming wild, she did not want to assume as she had just said, Roxanne was persona no grata as well. “Your husband’s self-proclaimed fiance!” Daisy exclaimed.Her eyes instantly went wide as her
“Wake up, sleepy head!” Margaux grunted and covered herself with the blanket. Her head was throbbing and couldn’t open her eyes. “Babe. It’s already afternoon. Get up there now!” “Go away!” she hissed as her ears were hurting at the high pitch voice of whoever was waking her up. However, instead of leaving her alone, that person shook her body which made her more dizzy. “Stop it!” she screamed. “I won’t stop until you get up!” the annoying person retaliated. Begrudgingly, she took off the blanket from her body and forced herself to open her eyes. “Get up and let’s go downstairs. We have a lot of things to discuss. She squinted her eyes to see her face. And when she realized it was her cousin Daisy, she immediately covered herself with a blanket again and grumbled “I need to rest some more, please,” her voice muffled. “I’m afraid you have no more time, babe..” Shaking her head, she deliberately ignored what her cousin was saying. She did not care about
Margaux was nursing her splitting headache when Daisy sat on the chair adjacent to her. “Did you just wake up?” her cousin queried. She clicked her tongue and did not answer her. Her conversation with her mother still lingered in her head and she felt like she got more intoxicated than to sober up after eating the food she prepared. It was too intense and she was caught off guard. “I have been waiting for you to wake up since lunch..” Daisy stated. “Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping now?” she responded instead. “I’m not sleepy yet. You know me. I won’t be able to sleep if there is something bothering me..” her cousin stated. She stopped massaging her temples and slowly opened her eyes. Frowning, she looked at her cousin curiously, “What’s bothering you,” she queried. Suddenly, she got worried, knowing that the woman was pregnant and was prone to stress which was bad for the baby. Meanwhile, Daisy propped her elbows on the table and cupped her face with her palms. She then le
“I won’t be surprised if we became alcoholic,” Dinah stated before chugging down the bottle of beer in her hand. Saab chuckled. “Mom would faint it that happens”Margaux shook her head and did not give any comments. Rather, she emptied the bottle in one gulp and opened another as though she was very thirsty. “Chill down, babe. You won’t be running out of beer,” Dinah clicked her tongue as she saw her doing it in haste. She clicked her tongue then chugged down the bottle. A week had already passed and it had also been a week that they had been drinking every night. She did not want to drag her cousins with her new hobby but they insisted on joining her and even went to her office every afternoon just to make sure that she won’t escape from them. “Until when you are going to do this?” Daisy interjected. She shook her head before she turned her head towards her cousin’s direction. “Once I could sleep without drinking,” she responded. “That won’t happen if you won’t try..” Daisy ret
“You looked.. terrible,” Daisy commented as soon as Saab opened the door. Josh smiled as little before his eyes started searching inside the VIP room. His eyes then lit up and his lips stretched widely when their gazes finally met. “Margaux..” he muttered. Margaux‘s eyes squinted. She just nodded her head then chugged on the beer as though a stranger just greeted her. She was already tipsy since she drank and emptied quite a lot of small bottles of beer. She did not have a high tolerance of alcohol unlike Daisy and Dinah, thus, she had no control of her reaction anymore after that. “Come in. You are our esteemed guest for tonight,” Daisy stated while chuckling. Shaking her head, she almost hissed but fortunately, she was able to suppress herself from doing that. They did not have any plan after inviting him over, but Daisy told her to try not to be hostile or show any displeasure towards him once he showed up. She had no idea why, for she did not bother to ask. That time, she al
It was her turn to freeze. She was looking up at him with mouth agape and bulging eyes. “W-what?” she stuttered. Never did it come across her mind that the guy she barely knew anymore would confess to her amidst the fiasco that they had been through. “You love her?!” Daisy exclaimed. Meanwhile, she heard a chuckle from her side which snapped her out from her shock. “This is ridiculous,” Dinah stated. She agreed and wanted to laugh as well. However, when her eyes met his and saw how serious he looked, she suddenly pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes. “Are you serious?” she queried. Although she knew it was not a joke. She wished that he did because she did not like that confession at all. “I am,” Josh quickly responded. He looked away and it did not escape her eyes how his whole face turned red like a tomato. She did not find it cute though. Since she was already drunk, her mind was already clouded of what she thought was right and none of it was anything good towards Josh
Margaux was tired even if she just woke up. She felt like she ran a marathon and did not really sleep because her energy was drained and she was exhausted. It was not the alcohol for it was only her head that was aching but was not lethargic. ‘This must be because of what happened last night,’ she thought. Grunting, she shook her head and forced herself to get up. It was already past seven and late for work. She can’t take an off because aside from having a long break already, she would only lock herself in her room and suffer from overthinking which she was avoiding for over a week already. After taking a quick shower, she chose a simple office attire and did not bother to put on make-up as she was in haste. “Sweetheart, come here and have breakfast first..” her mother’s voice reverberated. Instantly, her steps abruptly halted and turned to where the voice came from. It was not hard to spot her mother as the latter was already approaching her with a gentle smile. “Join us in b
