There was a long pause after Rachel said these words."Um,you know what? just forget what I said earlier, I know you might feel uncomfortable with it.....""No!No! I mean let's this I know I should have asked you earlier but I'm afraid you can't accept my past....." Noah interrupted before Rachel could finish her sentence.On the other side, Rachel hold her breath because she was too shocked by what she heard."Are you serious about your words?" she asked nervously."Yeah, would be my girlfriend!" Noah said deliberately raising his voice to cover his nervousness.Without even needing to make a sound, Noah knew Rachel was smiling on the other side."Yes, yes, yes......" Rachel replied to Noah's words in a lighter voice."Rachel," Noah called."I know I can seem stiff something but I want you to know that you have all my heart and.....""And?" Rachel, holding her breath from the pounding too much."And I have never felt this kind of feeling before, for anyone, you should know that to me
One week later, Noah was transfered to the inpatient ward because his condition had improved. Rachel and the rest of the Specters never left him one bit. They were always by Noah's side as if they were afraid that Noah would leave them again."Today is the last screening test, the doctor said you can go home if the test results are good," Rachel said as she poured glass of juice for Noah who just allowed to eat and drink.Noah looked at Rachel with his eyes which still looked a little droopy, "Can you tell me what happened after I got shot?" he asked since he had come out of coma, no one had spoken to him about the accident.Rachel smiled faintly, taking a deep breath. Remembering the day when she heard about the news made her chest feel tight."That day the police officer called me and said that you were shot, I was really confused and scared....." Rachel couldn't hold back the tears that started streaming down her face.Noah was surprised at Rachel's reaction, his hand moving to wip
A month later,"Greta are you sure about this?" Gabriel asked, looking deeply at his daughter.Greta nodded quickly, "Yeah a thousand percent sure! Didn't I tell you already that I'm not interested in running a company? twenty percent profit sharing is enough for me," Great said cheerfully."Greta come on! you don't have to do this you know I don't want any of this," Noah said earnestly.Greta snorted,"Oh come on! have served for several years running the company, now it's time for you take my place! beside! I have a plan, um, I just about to say it now........." she said, she bit her lip hard.She knew her parents would probably reject her plan.What is it?" asked Emily Specter, looking at her daughter warily. So did Gabriel and Noah who looked at Greta silently.Greta cleared her throat....... I want to move to Australia," Greta replied, closing her eyes, she knew she would be bombarded with protests.Hee guess was right, Gabriel and Emily didn't agree and tried everything to get G
"Could you spare some time this weekend, Greta will be visiting us for a few days," Noah said, stirring his freshly brewed coffee.Rachel opened her phone, checked the calendar quickly and the replied, "Sure! I miss her so much anyway! Tell her I asked for a koala as a souvenir," Rachel joked.Noah chuckled,"Noah mom and Dad also invited your Dad to join the party in our Mansion," he said casually.Rachel tilted her head."Really? Um, your father already agreed to come," replied Noah who made Rachel frown in surprise."Not me but my Dad," he answer while taking the bread out of the toaster and spread the top of the bread with peanut butter."Ah, no comment then, I didn't expect my father to be so open now, but it's good thing tho........" she muttered then pulled out a stool and sat on it."That's because her daughter is hooking up with right guy," Noah said to joking. Rachel chuckled, her hand reaching out to pinch Noah's waist who standing not far from her."Is there going to be a
Greta pulled a suitcase in her right hand while her left hand held a glass of iced coffee that she occasionally sipped at that time she had just landed at the Brisbane airport after attending the wedding of her elder brother named Noah Specter.Greta's mind wandered all over places because at Noah's wedding yesterday, some people rudely asked her what was like to be cheated on like months before she gets married! At that time, she felt like she wanted to disappear into the Earth instead of having to face those impolite people.While Greta was still busy daydreaming, suddenly someone bumped into her shoulder making her accidentally spill the iced coffee that stained her shirt and the white shirt of the man who she thought was the one that hit her first."Really? can you walk with a little more focus?! said the man while cleaning his white shirt which was stained with coffee.Greta rolled her eyes, "What did you say? those are not the right words to say after you hit someone!" she snapp
"You!" Ryan hissed looking annoyed at Greta. He still clearly remembered the face of the annoying woman he met yesterday at the airport.Greta tried hard to look normal, she even tried at Ryan who obviously won't smile back."Okay guys, so today we're going to cook beef Wellington, as we know cooking beef Wellington requires special skills, because we have to make sure that the steak in the puff pastry is cooked well and we also have to make sure the pastry that we make is cooked perfectly," chef Ryan Lewis began his cooking demo."So today I will be accompanied by what is your name? he asked Greta curtly."Greta, Greta Specter," Greta replied in low voice she was able to be intimidated by arrogant man standing tall beside her.The demo event went smoothly, Greta helped Ryan a little but she stood mostly awkwardly because Ryan blatantly ignored her.After the demo was over Greta immediately returned to her chair, where Amy was still sitting on the chair next to her.I saw something st
Finally, Greta decided to jump on Ryan's back and let him carry her into the therapy room. Even being carried, didn't reduce the pain she felt.Greta awkwardly pressed her face against Ryan's fragrant back. It was strange to lean on someone who caused her such an injury.There was an urge in Greta's mind that she wanted to ask Ryan a question about anything. But again her pride refused her to do such thing.In the clinic lobby, they were greeted by an officer who immediately gave Greta a wheelchair to ride. Ryan slowly lowered Greta into a wheelchair."Ouch!" Greta screamed and was about to cry when she felt her tailbone hit the wheelchair.She deliberately sat on her side to ease the pain. Behind her, Ryan looked very guilty, something he didn't show in front of Greta because of his high sense of dignity.After an X-ray, the doctor said to that Greta had a tailbone injury from hitting the marble floor very hard with her arched body. The doctor advised Greta to rest for a few days unt
As Greta looked she was surprised to find Ryan stood still in front of her bed."What are you doing here?" grumbled Greta she hid her crying face under the blanket embarrassed."Try to lay sideways, I will help you up," he said with a more soft voice. Might be because he just heard Greta crying.Greta didn't refuse, she let him help her so she could lay sideways. Ryan sat besides the bed, he took the pasta plate then started to feed Greta in silence.Greta who was hungry couldn't help herself from eating fast, partly because Ryan cooked her a very delicious pasta.It's so weird but they are sitting face to face without even talking."Are you always like this to everyone?" asked Greta when she finished her meal."What do you mean?" Ryan asked back without even looking into her eyes."I mean you being rude and silent and kept distance to everyone," said Greta carefully.Ryan held a glass of water to Greta, let's up to you how you're going to judge, me, I act differently to different peo
