Artemis' POV"It's very hands-on," Ares said teasingly as he returned to the house. He is homeless so I let him stay here."I didn't know that you really made a career out of being a lover, Artemis," he said."Don't wait for me to kick you out of the house, Ares." He pouted before begging me to talk to his wife again. As if I could do something for them.I left him at home and went to the law firm that Zelo was working for today. He is already building a new law firm here in Cebu. He is so busy with that. He is also talking to engineers about that. He is really hands-on with his work so I can't stop bringing food for him and some who work there. Even just a dish is fine.That's already my routine for how many days. Sometimes I just deliver it when I'm busy at the resort. It's either the two of us are at the resort or at the firm.I arrived there after a while. They are all busy with their work. Some of Zelo's workers immediately greeted me there."I brought lunch, I'm going to put it
Artemis' POVZelo: I did. What about you and the kids? Have you eaten? Can I call?A smile immediately curved my lips when I read the message from Zelo. I immediately straightened up in my seat before reading his text to me.Me: Finish working? Alright...Less than a few seconds later, he was already calling. It's like I'm melting when I sit on the sofa."Are you done with your work?" I asked him. Zelo is in Manila now. Something is being taken care of briefly regarding the law firm he is building here in Cebu. He'll start to work again but this time with the job that he really likes. He has always wanted to be a Judge and he'll start being a lawyer first. I'm just glad that he will pursue what he loves now."I'm done now... How about you? How's your work?" he asked. I just told him what happened to my day. The smile on my lips could not be erased while telling the story. I used to dream of this. Just us talking with each other on the phone and just talking about random things. About
Artemis' POV"Good morning, Ms. Artemis," Ms. Brown greeted me. She is so pretty with her natural makeup. Her white skin tone dominated us all."Good morning, Ms. Brown.” I greeted her team too. Juan Clud and his wife also got out of the car while greeting excitedly.They did the same with Zelo, who was behind me. We are going on our tour today. We are going to island hop.I just let them go one by one. I also helped Manong Lito, one of the boatmen I worked with, to guide them.When it's Zelo's turn, I smile brightly at him."I hope you enjoy the trip, Sir..." I said with a smile on my face. His eyebrows only raised but the smile on his lips was also wide. My lips immediately parted as he effortlessly lifted me and put me on the boat. He even laughed softly when he saw how I was slightly surprised. I just shook my head at him. I cleared my throat when I saw his friends looking at us while grinning. Ms. Brown also had a smile while looking at the two of us.I cleared my throat and prof
Artemis' POVZelo is really confusing me. He is always hot and cold. I don't really know what's with him because for the rest of the trip, he was already not in the mood. I looked at him but he wasn't even trying to steal glances at me.I just cleared my throat while walking back to the boat."You know what I really enjoy that time when we spend the night together for the campaign to love the Philippines," Ms. Brown said making me almost stop walking. Spend the night together... It doesn't mean anything, Artemis. Stop thinking about what.“I would love to do that again! I hope you have time again, Mr. President!” It was just a friendly exclamation but why do I feel like something tugged in my heart?"Oh, you two spend the night together? Where? Is that in Bataan? Is that the article that came out that you two dated?" I don't know why Juan Cloud sounds so annoying. I can't help but frown. I don't even realize that my pace is getting faster and their voice is getting weaker. The last qu
Artemis' POVWe ended up going out of the house. We are in the garden now. He put a cardigan to me and gave me the milk as well."Thank you..." I said softly before pouting."You are welcome..." he said before sitting beside me. I just watch him sip on his glass of milk before talking."What's the thing that was upsetting you?" I asked while meeting his eyes now. He pouted and even frowned at me now.“What are we, Artemis? Aren't we together yet? Am I assuming too much?” he asked. He was just staring at me now. My lips slowly parted there before I pouted.“Is it because of Juan Cloud's question? I'm sorry. I wanted to talk to you about it first. I don't want to assume things and decide on my own. To begin with, we are the ones who will be in a relationship together…”"Alright. I had fault there too. I thought you already knew when I said that I'm in love with you." "That's why I wanted to talk to you. I don't want to just say that we are when you aren't comfortable going back to me y
Zelo's POV"I talk to Umbrielle now, Mr. Tiger. She already agreed to the deal. She already created plans. She'll use the son of the governor to do it," Alfredo said, one of my men from the Tigers. I couldn't stop the smile from curling my lips. So she'll use me?"That's all for the report, Mr. Tiger," he said again when he didn't hear anything from me."Alright. That's good to hear. I want this job to be done as soon as possible," I said. I have a voice changer so Alfredo doesn't know what my real voice is. He was the acting head of Tigers.I put my phone down before looking at the folder in front of me. I look at the girl in the photo. This is her portfolio. She stains her hands killing a lot of dirty politicians. She's not even serious in her photo. There was a smile on her lips as she held her gray hair. The beauty of her gray eyes is also visible in the photo. No wonder she has used her face a lot.I just shrugged my shoulders before putting down the folder I was holding. For now
Zelo's POV“Isn't there an easier way to get inside that? This is hard! It's hard to kill time! I'm just about to enter the library and I want to go home right away. One more thing, that man's behavior is bad! He inherited it from his father," she whispered to whoever it was from the other line. I heard whispers.I continued walking as if I didn't know that the CCTV here had also been hacked. She immediately stood up properly and seemed to be told that I was just behind her. Her voice immediately calmed down."Okay, I'll take it down. I'll give you money for your studies. Study hard." I wanted to laugh at her acting but I just stopped myself. I just walked straight but she immediately caught up with me."Hi, I always see you around the library. That's you, right? Are you going to the library again?” she said when she blocked me before she put the loose hair behind her ear. I just looked at her coldly."Do I know you? Excuse me," I said and walked towards her first. Her lips parted the
Zelo's POV"We meet again, Nerd!" a man whispering in an alley near the library told me with a smirk. I don't have my car with me right now. I didn't even call someone to pick me up because there are cabs passing by here.I looked at the man. I frowned when I realized that they were the boys in the library who were trying to hit on Umbrielle."You think you are all that? Let's see if your annoying personality will work outside," he said with a grin. Kids these days are really funny. They intend to do things that they won't have any improvement with. I couldn't stop shaking my head and was about to pass them but they immediately blocked me."I'm true to my words so let's spar! Don't be a scary cat!” he said, pulling me towards the alley. This is just a waste of time. I probably have a lot of things to learn right now if I went home instead of watching these idiotic people.I was about to call my bodyguards when the guy talked again."One more thing, your father owes me money! Your good
