2021-08-02 23:37:05Chapter 44 – Friends Don’t Kiss
The day ended with Kiara ignoring Phoenix’s calls and messages, asking where she is. She walked on the streets of Garse, getting lost in her thoughts and in the crowd of people passing by, letting her feet take her wherever it goes, and wondering how her life turned to be this complicated just because of love. If only… If only she had not fallen for him in the first place, then everything should have been better and less complicated. It would have been just her, an architect, working in a company, having daily work routines, and not getting too much to think about her boss whom eventually she fell in love with. Tough luck!
Everything should have stayed in their places. No crossing of boundaries. No going beyond the limits.
But then, it already happened, and it is not like they can still turn back the time and fix it all up in the beginning just to avoid the complications off today.

Ask him what?”“What you two really are.”And that was when it dawned to her. There was never a clear verbal affirmation from Phoenix. He never told her that he loves her.“Do… do you think should I ask him that?” she wondered, and her head was not taking the alcohol lightly anymore, however, she can still think properly to process everything that James was telling her.“I do not know… I mean, so that you would know what to do. You cannot love him still and be a martyr if he does not feel the same way right?”“And

She gestured me to go closer and so I did. The next lady already walked up the stage and did her things, dancing.“Ma’am, I still have thirty minutes, why is she up there now?” I asked.“You are done there already, sweety. Mr. Ramirez was asking for you, you should give him your thirty minutes instead.” Madame Wanda said and my eyes flew again to the usual spot of Sir Phoenix Ramirez on the bar.“Why ma’am?

But… as we were talking earlier about cost effectiveness and its relation to the product or in your case we call it structures since they are hotels, I do not think that this project did very well.” I said and with the way Mr. Ramirez smirked, I saw how the girls went flustered with wide eyes staring at him.
