I laid on my back and stare at the ceiling where everything is white. My chest was heavy, and I couldn't think properly.

I don't wanna make stupid decisions, including my stupid thoughts that keep making me super bad decisions. I sighed because my mind messing me, but I have to keep calm while waiting for him to return. Until suddenly I heard a car parked outside, and it made my heart skip a bit.

Erika's POVI am currently heading to our room carrying his breakfast because I woke up early just to made him breakfast, and also coffee for his hangover. At this situation my whole body is trembling to the fact he might forget all the things he said. I don't wanna rely on those words, but I'm really desperate. I open the door and ready to greet him, but his serious expression stunned me for a moment. I froze to my position, and my mind couldn't even process properly because of that face. Grayson has this expression that is enough to weakened me, and also mess my mind.But it wasn't enough to stop me from making a good impression to him, that is why I put down the tray on the bedside table to approach him.

Grayson's POV"Why you always need to test her loyalty, huh? I mean, is that even necessary? I don't think it's necessary, Grayson. You need her," Asher said, and I understand why he's scolding me like he is my mom. I massage my temple because he's been like that since yesterday, "Can you please stop, Asher?""I will if you stop messing our plans. This plan is not going well if you keep messing it and I'm not going to help you if something bad happened, so you better make it up to her.""Why would I? She's just a surrogate." "Exactly. A surrogate but you always find many way to ruin our plans, after that let me deal it. I already had enough of your problems," he said.I place down the pen I'm holding before glancing to Asher, he's sitting on the opposite chair and I couldn't stand his lectures. Although I suppose to scold him, not him scolding me. Whatever is happening between me and Erika is none of his business, but keep invading our little privacy and solve it even though Asher

Then I head outside and approached the stairs. I have a meeting with the woman who wanted to invest in my newest company, and although she is quite annoying.

It's been a while since my mind begin to focus to my businesses, and forget all the struggles I face.For some reason I remember what Erika said.
