It was around noon when Nathan received a phone call from Jessica, his little sister. “Hello?” he answered on the first ring, knowing fully well that she would complain about it if he did not.
“Nate! Guess what has just happened?!” said his sister in excitement without any preamble whatsoever.
Nathan pressed the volume button at the side of his phone to lower down the volume, knowing fully well that his sister would continue talking this loudly throughout the phone call. “Why do I have a feeling that you will tell me anyway?”
“Ugh, you are no fun!” complained Jess, sounding a bit annoyed for a second but she quickly recovered as she said, “We are invited to a dinner party tonight!”
C H A P T E R 1 6 N A T H A N W I L L I A M S Once Nathan had secured a ride, he rose to his feet and walked towards his cupboard. Despite him telling himself that he would be quick about it, he ended up spending the next fifteen minutes trying to choose which clothes to wear. In the end, he went with a white dress shirt and a pair of black pants. He was going to put a tie on it but then thought against it at the last minute, thinking that it might be too formal.
C H A P T E R 1 7 N A T H A N W I L L I A M S When they first arrived, Nathan was really convinced that they had gotten to the wrong address because surely, there was no way Ella’s fiancé lived in what looked like a mansion. He turned to Daniel and quickly asked, “Are you sure this is the right place?”
C H A P T E R 1 8 D A N I E L W E S T M I N S T E R After Daniel Westminster had dropped Nathan and his family at Nathan's half sister's fiance's house, he received a text from Sarah asking if he was available. They arranged to meet in half an hour. "Do you think something is up with my sister?" Daniel asked. Sarah raised an eyebrow as she sipped her coffee. "No. Why do you ask?" They were sitting in Sarah's favorite coffee shop while she did some work on her computer. Daniel did not understand why she chose to do work in public spaces, but she said it helped her to concentrate. Daniel was inclined to believe otherwise, but he considered that Sarah's brain might work differently from his and she would actually concentrate better at pu

He wished he had eaten a bigger lunch because right now, he felt so hungry like he could swallow a whole horse. He knew that his impertinent stomach would go to great lengths to get food even if that might risk embarrassing Nathan by making weird noises.

Reed shook his head and at the same time, his laughter died. There was no humor left on his face. "I wish I was." "Oh," Nathan's face colored up in an instant. He was very embarrassed and horrified. At the same time, he still could not easily believe it and half of him still expected Reed to admit he was messing around with him. "I'm sorry, that was inappropri

What is the difference between 'the love of your life' and 'your soulmate'?One is a choice, one is not.C H A P T E R 1The young man sat in front of a computer, gaze locked on his monitor. The bright screen showed the colorful homepage of a questionable dating site. It claimed to host millions of profiles of extremely attractive young men, women, etc. All of them looking for romance and financial sponsorship.Nathan stared bleary-eyed at his computer after eight hours of a futile job search. He took a swig from his can of Heineken and wondered at what point in his life did it spiral down so bad that he sat here, jobless at twenty five years of age, looking for a suga
C H A P T E R 2 When the beautiful young lady had asked him about his name, Nathan had not suspected anything at all. He had even thought about whether the woman had mistaken him for someone else. She looked very much like a rich young mistress, tall and beautiful with expensive jewelry and designer clothes. She did not seem like she would fit with any of his acquaintances. And the name 'Stephan' simply did not ring a bell. He shook his head. The woman nodded. "I suppose people do not generally use their real names when signing up for sex work." Nathan froze. Was she calling him a gigolo? He was very offended. Just because he looked cute and handsome didn't mean he was a hooker! He wanted to scold this rude woman so badly! T

C H A P T E R 1 4 N A T H A N W I L L I A M S That day, Nathan had woken up late. When he went downstairs to get breakfast, it was already two in the afternoon. Thankfully, his workplace was very lenient and let him work whenever he wanted as long as he submitted his tasks on time. After struggling with his button designing task for two whole weeks, he finally succeeded in getting one of his designs approved. It was the first button design that he had submitted previously, the one that
C H A P T E R 1 3After the time Nathan had first asked Daniel to go out together, it got easier. Soon, he was frequently dragging Daniel out to eat or just hang out together. They also kept taking pictures together anywhere they went, and Nathan's camera roll was soon filled with pictures of him and Daniel.Scrolling through his phone gallery, Nathan felt a little like their relationship was real. They looked very close in the pictures, and somehow they had never felt awkward with each other at all. It was surprisingly easy to be with Daniel. At least, Nathan was
C H A P T E R 1 2 "Seriously?" Nathan groaned in frustration and nearly spilled half of his cup of jasmine tea as he read the rejection email from the leader of the designer team that he received this morning.It was yet another rejection and at this point, he had no clue how many rejections he had received thus far. He was sure if he started counting them, there was a high chance that he would get depressed and start questioning his own skill.When he had first received the assignment to design buttons for the new, currently in development MMORPG, Nathan thought it would be such an
