“You have a visitor, babe..” Hendrix's gaze became more fierce as he looked at the guy and saw him grinning arrogantly at him. ‘Who the hell is this guy?!’ his mind exploded. ‘And what the fvck did he call her?! Babe?!’ He had just been away for a few days and there's already a new guy living with her?! Did she already dump that bastard Simon?! And her parents agreed to that?! He pursed his lips tightly. He couldn't fvcking believe it! His head was full of questions and the urge to confront all those to Margaux was strong. However, he tried his best to stay calm and suppressed his anger, knowing that the woman might kick him out immediately. “Why are you here? Aren't you in the Philippines?” Margaux scowled. Hendrix shifted his gaze back to the woman. His jaw ticked as his face darkened. He didn't like that she was questioning him. He should be the one doing that but still, he had to be the biggest person and stay calm in front of her. He read it on the internet. It says that w
“I don't need these,” Margaux said coldly and threw all those papers back to Hendrix. “Leave now before I call the security,” she immediately walked out, leaving him dumbfounded. He felt a hand on his shoulder followed by a few taps. “I think you should go. Margaux has one word,” Sue muttered before following the woman. Hendrix narrowed his eyes as he threw the guy with hs piercing gaze. He clenched his fists hard that he could already feel the liquid dripping from in. When he saw the butler coming to his direction, he quickly stood up and angrily marched to the exit.“Sir, you left something,” said the butler who immediately followed him. Clicking his tongue, he ignored the old man and continued walking to the exit without giving him a single glance. He flew all the way from the Philippines just to give her those papers. It was not his to take it with him again.With a sour mood, he immediately called for a taxi as soon as he got out of the gate, ignoring the security after taki
“Did you miss me?” Liana asked while smiling at him flirtatiously. Hendrix quickly removed her hands off him and gently pushed her away. His brows deeply furrowed as he gave her dark stares. “How did you know I'm here?” he queried sternly. Liana smiled widely at him, “It's just a wild guess. I just thought you would come here since this is the only place that let you check in..” she shrugged. “Then how did you know I'm back in the country?” he squinted his eyes towards the woman. Hendrix didn't forget Margaux's warning about Liana. And after what happened the last time, he couldn't trust the woman anymore. She's just the same as his former secretary who thought she could have him by manipulating the media and pretending to be his fianceè. “I'm here to take you to my hotel,” Liana said and tried to touch him. Putting his hands behind him, he quickly took a step back to avoid her advantages. He hadn't realized it before but now he was aware of it and won't let her do it again. “
Sue kept laughing as he recounted what happened when Margaux left the dining room. “I can bet my restaurant that he really believed we're living together,” he snickered while shaking his head. Crossing her legs, Margaux leaned back on the swivel chair and narrowed her eyes on her cousin, “Speaking of the restaurant, aren't you going there?” she queried, not in the mood to talk about Hendrix anymore. That guy was unpredictable! And she felt so stressed just thinking about the documents he left on the dining table.‘He must have a new plan,’ she pursed her lips as she thought about it. “I'm still on leave. Did you forget that I just underwent surgery?” Sue reiterated. “Right. The bone marrow,” she nodded, trying to shift her thoughts away, “How was it by the way? And do we know the kid's mother?” she was genuinely curious about that friend her cousin helped. For him to donate his bone marrow, the woman must be special to him. Sue let out a sigh, “It was successful but the kid is st
Margaux kept tapping her fingers on the table as she waited for Hendrix to come. An hour had already passed when Carlos confirmed his arrival yet he wasn't still there. Irritated, she pressed the intercom and asked her secretary impatiently, “Did you really call him?” “Yes, Miss Margaux and he said he's going here right away,” Carlos immediately answered. “Then why is he not here yet?” she scowled.‘Was that guy traveling from afar? But he left before us, so where could he be when Carlos called?’ Margaux thought. “I'll try to call him again, Miss,” Carlos replied. “Please do,” she said curtly and quickly turned off the intercom. Leaning her back on the swivel chair, she let out a sigh and thought where could Hendrix be and what was taking him so long. For she was expecting him to hastily come there and show up right away, not letting her wait for over an hour. “Miss?” Carlos carefully called after knocking on the door. “I'm sorry but.. I couldn't contact Mr Mondragon anymore..”
“Oh, look who's here. Drix, why didn't you tell me that you're expecting my cousin?” Liana raised her eyebrows while grinning slyly at Margaux. Margaux's brows pulled together as she stared back at her cousin. ‘Drix? They are on the nickname basis now? They are that close already?!’ her mind screamed. She then squinted her eyes when her gaze went down and landed on their linked arms. Her chest pounded hard as her blood boiled even more. However, her demeanor never changed and kept her expression neutral. Then slowly, her lips curved a sarcastic grin as soon as she lifted her eyes on them. “I'm here for someone,” she muttered, then slowly stepped forward and entered the elevator. Tilting her head, she pointed outside with her index finger while looking at them, “Are you not going out? Or you two are just playing with the lift?” she queried. Her grin went wider as she watched Liana's arrogant expression slowly disappeared. He could feel that the woman already felt annoyed and it act
“What did you say?” Margaux turned back and scowled at Hendrix. However, her chest pounded wildly as soon as their eyes met. Hendrix's eyes were the most attractive part of his face the most and his brown orbs were her favorite. The way he gazed at her was too intense but she couldn't seem to look away, although her heart felt like it's going to explode. “I know you are here for me,” Hendrix responded with a gentle smile and slowly closing the gap between them. It didn't sink it right away to Margaux, as her mind went blank while her eyes fixated on his handsome face. And just like that morning, the way he looked at her seemed different. She found it very strange. It's as if something had suddenly changed but she couldn't pinpoint what it was exactly. Hendrix stopped right in front of her. He didn't touch her, and even left a quite huge gap in between them. But subconsciously, she took a step back as her heart couldn't handle being with him too close. “Did I make you worry?” he qu
“I love you, Margaux,” Hendrix repeated. Margaux stared at him with wide eyes. Her mouth agape while her heart was beating abnormally. ‘W-what?’ her brain couldn't function all of a sudden. He stared back at her, and she suddenly felt intimidated by the intensity of his gaze towards her. “I just realized it now. I'm sorry for everything, please forgive me..” he said. She blinked several times as it didn't sink in as well. Her mind was in turmoil, she couldn't think anything at all. “I love you,” he repeated again. ‘What the heck?! He loves me?!’ her mind screamed. Her chest hammered even more. Shutting her eyes, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but to no avail. Her effort was futile as her brain kept repeating his words inside her head like a broken vinyl. Indenting in her mind, making her memorize every syllable of how he pronounced those words. “Margaux, I–” “Stop,” she quickly cut him off. She didn't want to hear more from him. It was already too much
