Chapter 21

As I fiddled with my feet, I nibbled my lips. All I could do was stare at Jaxson and his workspace from every angle.I just sat silently in front of him, while he focused his attention on his laptop and papers that I had observed were being signed by him after he read them.I let out a long sigh before leaning slightly on the plush sofa and laying myself down. I'm not sure how many more hours I'll have to wait before the wedding planner arrives, so I'm becoming bored. I'm stuck at Jaxson's office with nothing to do.I took up a newspaper from the small table in front of me and opened it, hoping to find a way to pass the time.This is better for me though, I reckon, than to be with Jaxson's mother again. If the only people I could spend time with inside their mansion were Aunt Elsie and Lovely, it would be even easier for me because they appear to be interesting and good people.I'd also like to get to know Gunther better because he's always around me, but it doesn't seem like it will

Chapter 22

“Mr. Chairman, the wedding coordinator, and the bridal consultant have arrived. Is it the right time for me to let them in?”After the phone that was placed on the left side front of him rang, I was interrupted from making fun of Jaxson.He turned up the volume of the telephone so that maybe I could hear what the man on the other line was saying too.“Yes, you can let them in.” Jaxson replied sparingly to the man, while his gaze remained fixed on mine.I wanted to chuckle when he choked earlier because of the unexpected words that came out of my mouth. That was also not something I expected. But I believe Jaxson is indirectly asking me out on a date. What else was it called if it was just the two of us and we were going out to eat? Am I right? Or am I losing my mind?“Stop giving me those grins, Cattleya.”My grin widened even more as I heard him speak again. It's because his face can't be painted right now due to the weird expression showing on his face.“But at least now I'm not just

Chapter 23

After the exhausting planning for our wedding, I find myself alone inside Jaxson's office then again.I'm not sure whether my responses to the wedding coordinator are completely right because I'm not familiar with any of them. I just chose whatever sounds familiar to me. Then I pondered why there were far too tiny food portions and asked if there was a whole meal that could fill the entire plate because the servings that they would give to the guest appeared to be for a taste test only. They were taken aback by what I said and looked at me as if they couldn't believe it, but they pledged to show me other options tomorrow.The wedding design I chose was simply based on what I personally preferred. I'm just not sure if Jaxson will like it as much as I do. But, as he had said, it is up to me to make the decision, so perhaps he will not be upset with those I choose. I can't wait to see how he reacts on the wedding day. The only thing that mattered to him was that we could get through the w

Chapter 24

“What the hell...?” I grumbled beneath my breath. What kind of debauchery are they committing? I'm sure that they know exactly where they should be doing this. At this point, Jaxson should have realized that these two were doing this on purpose to sabotage his strategy. Perhaps if Jaxson chose to get drunk today, I would no longer look after him and instead get really frustrated with him.Even though I know he's hurt, he'll make a fool of himself if he gets hurt by what they're doing. Obviously they are just doing that for the show. As the two give each other greater pleasure, I shut my eyes in disgust.I gently pulled Jaxson's arm, hoping to get his attention in some way. After all, this is why I came to his workplace. I had no idea what was going on around me or what Jaxson's reaction was because I kept my eyes shut.When I felt my hand stretch as Jaxson continued to walk, my eyes widened. I attempted to look for Jaxson's eyes to look at it, but I couldn't see his face.When we

Chapter 25

I wasn't expecting Jaxson to be popular not only at his company but also everywhere. And I have officially confirmed it after being met with glances as soon as we walk inside the mall. There were also security guards who approached us and offered Jaxson if he wanted security for safe shopping and lodging in their mall. However, he declined it, as I predicted. I am starting to feel conscious of how people gape at us whenever we pass by them. I'm not sure if it was because they know Jaxson and he is famous, or it’s his appearance and how he shines out in a crowd that they are acting this way. Honestly, I can't even deny that this man is quite attractive. “Wait,” I murmured meekly to the man beside me, who was still grasping my hand and the laptop he had gotten for me in the other. “Am I the only person in this country who doesn't know who you are? How come people know you everywhere? You're not a celebrity, slash a model, slash a chairperson… Are you?” I heard Jaxson's feeble scoff,

“Go grab yours,” I urged quietly to Jaxson as I lifted a tray full of food. But he just stared at me, puzzled, as if he didn't get what I was saying. “Why are you the one carrying that, Cattleya?” He asked. “Of course, Jax, no one else is going to do it for us. Now, hurry up and carry that so we can find a seat and make the customers next to us get their food too.” “Are you serious...?” He mumbled as his eyes shifted behind us, seeing the line stretched clear around the corner, so he had no choice but to slowly approach the tray of food and gently carry it as I said. “Can’t I just call some staff and ask for assistance?” I started laughing quietly because of how Jaxson ended up looking now. I tried my hardest earlier to contain my laughter so he wouldn't be embarrassed, but I couldn't help myself and burst out laughing at the way he carried the tray with a puzzled expression on his face. I caught a quick look at people secretly snapping photos of him and also trying to hide their

Chapter 27

“Hey, you'll end up harming your throat if you do that. Bottoms up, this isn't an alcoholic beverage to swallow all at once-” I was interrupted by knocks on the window. I saw a little boy as I turned my head on my left side. The baby girl we met earlier was exactly the same age as this one. Why are we being targeted by children today? When the boy gestured as if begging for food, and rubbing his stomach, my heart was broken into pieces. I shifted my gaze to Jaxson to see his reaction, but he was just staring straight back at the child. I couldn't tell what was on his mind, so I just waited for him to do anything. I searched for any food on the table and found a piece of burger that I haven’t touched yet. I took it in my hands and began to rise from my seat, wanting to give it to the little boy through the back door. Jaxson surprised me when he stood up and began to walk straight to the back door near us because there's also an exit here that is closer to the boy outside. “Hey,” J

Chapter 28

My feet were propped up on the bed's end seat. I just realized I haven't gotten any sleep since last night. I guess I unconsciously drank a drum of coffee because I didn't feel drowsy at all. I'm not really sure why I've remained awake and active till now. After going home from the mall, I'm currently here in Jaxson’s room. He had been silent while we were driving home. I kept asking him questions and assuring him that we will go back there and see if we can treat the child next time because he looked so disappointed. Jaxson was sitting on the sofa near the bedside table with tons of documents and a laptop in front of him, as I rested on his bed and watched him. “It's far too late, and you're still at it. You've just gotten home from work, yet you're still working nonstop instead of resting. You are so dedicated,” I commented. But Jaxson didn't even bother to look at me as he sipped his coffee and kept his eyes fixed on the papers. I was a bit disappointed, so I just decided t

Chapter 29

[Catt, you are all over the internet. And people are feasting in your name right now. Are you in your unit? I’m coming over after my duty here in DeepBlue.]Ibinalik ko sa messages ang screen mula sa pagkakabukas ng isang article upang mag reply kay Lauren.[I am not in the unit tonight.] I clicked the send button as I began to type another message. [I am going to university tomorrow so you don’t have to come over, Lauren. I’ll explain everything.]“What are you doing?”I shrieked when I heard Jaxson’s voice from behind me.“What are you doing?!” I asked him back as I quickly moved away a bit because Jaxson was just right behind me and his chin was almost sticking to my shoulder.“I'm just looking at what you're doing. Who are you talking to? I didn’t catch a glimpse of it.” He asked me as his eyes were on the laptop that rested on my thigh. “I bought this for you for your studies, why are you just talking to someone? Who is it?”“H-Huh?” I asked him nervously even though I understoo

Chapter 30

“Okay, now. Photos like this are really popular these days. Like the person didn't come prepared but the shot was very nice and natural!” I notice that the more I give compliments to Jaxson, the more he smiles and becomes confident in himself. So, I guess I should always come prepared to shower him lots of compliments.“Alright, let’s complete your profile and we're ready to go!” I exclaimed as I waited for his profile photo to be uploaded.“Can I see?” Jaxson asked as he slightly got up from the bed to look at the screen. “So, after the circle fills up. People will see my photo, right?”I nodded to him in response then I handed him his phone so that he could press friendsbuck by himself and so that he could learn how to use it as well.“There,” I muttered. “Your photo will now be visible for the public and I hope they won’t speculate it as another fan account. That photo I uploaded was exclusive!”“Yeah. Where can they find a photo of me lying in bed with a slightly unbuttoned shirt?
