“Okay, now. Photos like this are really popular these days. Like the person didn't come prepared but the shot was very nice and natural!”
I notice that the more I give compliments to Jaxson, the more he smiles and becomes confident in himself. So, I guess I should always come prepared to shower him lots of compliments.“Alright, let’s complete your profile and we're ready to go!” I exclaimed as I waited for his profile photo to be uploaded.“Can I see?” Jaxson asked as he slightly got up from the bed to look at the screen. “So, after the circle fills up. People will see my photo, right?”I nodded to him in response then I handed him his phone so that he could press friendsbuck by himself and so that he could learn how to use it as well.“There,” I muttered. “Your photo will now be visible for the public and I hope they won’t speculate it as another fan account. That photo I uploaded was exclusive!”“Yeah. Where can they find a photo of me lying in bed with a slightly unbuttoned shirt?” Jaxson said airily. “Well, what do we need to do next?”A smile drew to my lips as I noticed that Jaxson seemed to be slowly getting interested.“Let's add friends!” I’m the one pressing the phone even though Jaxson was holding it. And he in turn was just watching me and maybe also learning how to use this app because he looks so focused. “Let's start by sending a friend request to Finn.”“What?”Jaxson quickly grabbed my attention when he pulled the phone away from me.“— Cattleya, What did you just say? I am going to request him so that we can be friends?”My eyes can't help but just roll up at the words he uttered and the tone he used.He's acting like Finn is someone who has a contagious disease that if ever they become friends, he’ll get an allergic reaction.“And, why do you keep on calling my lawyer by his alias? You two aren’t even-”“We are friends, Jax. That's why I call him Finn and not Attorney Campbell.” I slash him off. “We became friends just last night when you’re wasted and both of us took care of you. He even carried you from the car up to your room.Come one, Jax. Send him a friend request-”What I was saying was interrupted when the door suddenly rang. It both caught our attention, so Haxson unhurriedly stood up from lying to bed and walked to the door carrying his phone in his hand.I couldn't stop my lower lip from curving into a pout when I saw that Jaxson had already slid his phone back into his pocket.Did Finn do something wrong to him that he hasn't yet told me, that is giving him a hindrance to be considered by Jaxson as his friend? Because if I'm going to be asked, I really think that they are already friends. It seems that a one-sided friendship is more dreadful than a romantic relationship.I decided to also get up from the bed where we were both lying and follow Jaxson to also see who is outside the door because it was too late at night for someone to look for us.“Mr. Madrigal.” Gunther greeted him with a bow through the screen.“Mr. Nolan Yves is waiting for you in the headquarters downstairs. He asked me to bring you down immediately for an urgent meeting.”An urgent meeting?But isn't it too late for him to still do his job?When Jaxson heard the words from Gunther, he quickly went to the sofa and picked up his coat that was left here. He quickly adjusted the button of his shirt as well as his hair which was a little messy from laying earlier on the bed.“Wait, Jax. Are you really going to that meeting? You haven't even taken a rest yet. Are you sure you're okay?”After fixing himself, Jaxson drew his eyes to face me. “I must go. It’s Daniella’s father, and one of the biggest stakeholders of Ruegold.”I was speechless after hearing Daniella’s name.I watched Jaxson move toward me and slid his hand in his pocket. I was a bit surprised when he took out his phone again and lende it to me.“Send Mr. Campbell a friend request for me.”My face lit up because of what I heard.“—But make sure to add yours first.” Jaxson simply uttered before leaving me in his room, with his phone in my hand.After he left the room, I went back to bed with Jaxson's phone that he entrusted to me. “Will Finn be happy when he receives the friend request?” I said to myself as the smiles on my lips continued to widen. “But, is it okay for me to add a friend to Finn? I mean, wouldn't it be better if Jaxson did that instead?”I wandered on the empty space as I thought of what to do.It would have been better if Jaxson had actually done it. It's just, maybe he's too busy for this kind of thing. Nevertheless, I think the most important thing Is that Jaxson insisted that he wanted to give Jaxson a friend request and he just wanted me to do it for him.That still means that Jaxson meant to do it for Finn. Because maybe, he really has a soft spot for him.I proceeded to search my name on the tab first as Jaxson requested. It was very obvious that he didn't have many friends because the only people on his mind were Finn and I.“Oh…” I murmured to myself. “Does this mean that Jaxson considered me as his friend?Why does it feel so validating? It just makes me happy how he somehow appreciates my existence.After adding a friend request to my account using Jaxson’s, I accepted it immediately on my end using the laptop where I am also online. After doing so, I immediately sent a request to Finn's because I couldn't wait any longer.How would he react? It may look like I am even more excited than him.Jaxson’s phone has been ringing since earlier due to a series of notifications for his photo and friend requests.I thought they would mistake this for another fan account. But maybe it's because of the exclusive photo that I just took and have, it has been proven that this is Jaxson's official account.I know that Jaxson won't manage it and it's not like he will voluntarily take a picture of himself and upload it to friendsbuck, so I'll just do it and take the stolen pictures of him. I‘m confident that he will still look good with those. I will also post on social media because Jaxson still doesn't have enough time to finish his work.Suddenly a giggle slipped from my lips. “I'm acting like his momager.”My thoughts were interrupted when suddenly, Jaxson’s phone rang for a call.As soon as I read the name that flashed on the screen, my eyebrows crashed.“BuildBaby?” I read in a whisper on the screen.I waited for almost a minute and the number of calls rang out before I decided to just answer this call.“Hello?” I was nervous calling the other line because the name is just so confusing to me. “Sorry, Jaxson is not here right now. He’s currently on their meeting, and I don’t know what time he will come back to answer the-”“It’s okay ma’am. I can talk to you instead. Since you’re Mr. Madrigal’s fiance, then we have nothing to worry about. ” The woman on the other line gladly uttered, and I immediately returned the smile because of her polite tone of speech. “So, I called to get additional information of when do you guys prefer for us to deliver the supplies that you guys ordered personally in our shop, BuildBaby.”“Build Baby..? We went there?” I asked as I can’t remember that Jaxson and I went there earlier and why would we shop for baby supplies?“Yes, Ms. Daniella. You dropped by our shop about a week ago and shopped for your baby. The baby supplies are now packed well and are ready to be shipped. The only information we need to get is the delivery date that you prefer. It can happen either before or after you give birth.”“Ms. Daniella...?” I muttered aloud with a tone of disbelief.“Yes, Ms. Is there any problem?”“Did Jaxson also come to shop for baby products?” I said emphatically while waiting for the answer of the woman I was talking to on the other line. It seemed like she was surprised because of the sounds I was hearing on her end.“Yes, Ms. Daniella. You came with Mr. Madrigal to shop for your baby supplies together.” She answered with a bit of hesitation. “Is there something wrong Ms? You seem to be having difficulty remembering what happened just a week ago.”“This is not Daniella
“Build Baby ..? We went there? ” I asked as I can’t remember that Jaxson and I went there earlier and why would we shop for baby supplies?“Yes, Ms. Daniella. You dropped by our shop about a week ago and shopped for your baby. The baby supplies are now packed well and are ready to be shipped. The only information we need to get is the delivery date that you prefer. It can happen either before or after you give birth. ”"Ms. Daniella ...?" I muttered aloud with a tone of disbelief.“Yes, Ms. Is there any problem? ”“Did Jaxson also come to shop for baby products?” I said emphatically while waiting for the answer of the woman I was talking to on the other line. It seemed like she was surprised because of the sounds I was hearing on her end.“Yes, Ms. Daniella. You came with Mr. Madrigal to shop for your baby supplies together. ” This answer hesitates me. “Is there something wrong Ms? You seem to be having difficulty remembering what happened just a week ago. ”“This is not Daniella. It’
“What!?” Jaxson's slumped gaze arose once again from the floor. “What’s with that expression, Mr. Yves?” Jaxson said in a mocking tone. “Shouldn't you be celebrating right now? You asserted that you should have simply given your daughter to Lance rather than to me. You must be ecstatic now that you know they will be the ones to start a family with you.” Jaxson spoke in a chilly tone while maintaining his direct gaze. “I think we’re all done here. So, with the utmost respect, I'm going up to my room right now because I'm exhausted and I'm concerned that my fiance has already been waiting for me.” He added emphatically before he began to come out of the room with his eyes looking straight and didn’t bother to look back.When Jaxson finally made it to his room, he was surprised to see Cattleya in bed already dozing off. With only half of her body on the bed, and one foot nearly slumped to the floor. Jaxson noticed his phone near Cattleya, as well as the laptop that was still open and wo
“Do you remember that exact same day that you left his card in my hand? It’s also the day that I called him, and said that I am accepting his offer and that I am going out with him. I spoke to Loren discreetly out of fear that someone around could overhear us. Fortunately, the professor had not yet arrived when I attended the third course, so I still had some time to explain to Loren what everyone was perplexed about and why things had moved so quickly for Jaxson and I.I made a real effort earlier to ignore the students' whispers as soon as they spotted me entering this campus. I am aware that people are making fun of me because of the images that have gone viral online, but I kind of expected that before I came because the man I was holding hands with at the mall is not an easy person. It’s Jaxson Madrigal that almost everyone knows.“Then, are you telling me that after going out with that stranger guy in the DeepBlue, he fell in love with you, offered you a marriage, and you got en
I used my right hand to cover my face as I caught a glimpse of them walking toward me from the corner of my eye.I was starting to hear whispers from my classmates as all attention was focused on Jaxson and Finn.“We are actually here to pay a visit to Ms. Cattleya. I hope you don't mind.” Finn uttered in a completely different tone. He sounded like someone who's trying to be cool. Though he looks a bit cool in his black leather jacket with a white shirt inside, his voice kind of sounds funny to me.Jaxson, on the other hand, looks like someone who came here to our university to buy some buildings. He looks very classy and expensive in his suit as if there is nothing tangled to be seen here. His hair is brushed up and there is no denying that his face looks so bright. When I took a peek from spreading my fingers a bit, I saw that they are inch closer to me so I decided to just remove my hand from covering my face and stood up from my seat..Maybe it would be better for us to just have
This is the only free time I got after being engaged to Jaxson to attend university and catch up on some of the activities and quizzes that I’ve missed. But now, Jaxson and Finn came here to make a scene and use this time for the play when it should be me trying to make myself graduate.As much as I want to complain and talk to Jaxson about this, I can’t. Because Loren came with us, and I suspect that she is trying to watch us and see if I am lying to her about my love.Ever since we got out of the classroom, I have been noticing that Loren and Finn are exchanging fierce and evil gazes.It seems that Loren has her blood boiling to Finn and they seem to be having a hard time getting along.“Lady, can you stop staring at me?” Finn exclaimed, in an annoyed tone as he drew farther from Loren."I'm not staring at you. I am glaring." She replied with one of her brows raised.Loren has been a sweet and kind of a person. This is the very first time that I've seen her being annoyed this much be
The warm glow of genuine smiles on Jaxson's lips took my mind off of things. I'm not sure what it is within that seems to be pulling at me, but I do know that it is strong enough to make me want to spit myself out. When Finn took a picture of me, I was startled back to reality by the sound of the camera. “Give us a smile, Catt!” He yelled, “Come on!” I followed his request right up and began posing for pictures with a big smile. I noticed that my lips were quivering from nervousness. I don't want my photo taken because of this. As soon as I saw the camera, I started to feel awkward and unsure of what to do.“Do a little more other postures! "Finnley gives me another command. After being dumbfounded for a moment, I tried to come up with another gesture to make in front of the camera, but I couldn't think of anything else, so I just made the lame peace sign with my fingers and started posing with it. I noticed Loren smiling at me and shaking her head at Finn at the same time. “Catt,
I can't think of any other reason but because Daniella is also a professional model. Does Jaxson not want me to have that kind of career just because it is already her career? I just don’t see any correlation to it. And Jaxson having something to say about what job I should have while staying married to him doesn’t sit right to me.Their gazes shifted to me because of the word I just let out, but my eyes were focused on one certain person waiting for his answer.Our gaze had been locked for a minute and there seemed to be no voice as if everyone in the table was muted as our eyes connected. I saw Loren’s forehead make a crease from the corner of my eyes. I know pretty well that she is wondering about the words I said. She doesn't know about the person that I am talking about. She doesn't know about Daniella. “Are you acting like this because your ex-girlfriend is also a model?” I questioned him again as he did not respond to my question.I seemed to feel a little furious because I did
