The two of them left the restaurant without talking as much as they did when they entered the place.It felt like they have opened a Pandora box which they should not see and made their hearts so heavy.It’s early afternoon when they exited the restaurant.Cassius planned to go back in the company, while Harriet will go back to the Wyatt mansion to watch the preparation for her birthday party.But now that they are standing outside the restaurant, both of them haven’t moved a bit.The body guards who watches the two, looked at each other. Even them finds it odd that the two are unresponsive, as if they don’t want to leave the place.“Are you going back to the company?”Finally, Harriet spoke.But Cassius did not reply.“If you need to go back, then we will send you back. After all, I took a lot of your time during your work hours.”“...”“Cassius?”“Can we just go around for few more hours?” he asked, staring at her.She was reeled after his remark and she blinked swiftly while starin

Harriet’s POV All preparation for my birthday party was done. The day of the celebration arrived and everyone in the Wyatt’s mansion is excited for the event. I lifted myself from the empty bed where there is still patch of dark warmth in the sky. Reason is because I need to undergo multiple oration in order to make myself presentable in the party that will take place in the Wyatt’s mansion tonight. I soaked in a water filled with red rose in a bathtub, had someone to put special aroma and soothing oil in my body and then when the sun rose magnificently in the canvas of blue, I was finally allowed to rest for a while and have some light breakfast in my room. I didn’t know that dolling myself even with the help of others will be this tiring. We are not even in the half way done. With this, I remember the times when I had no one to help me to prepare when there’s party in the Fabroa mansion. It was always Reese who did my make-up. But now that I know how hectic it is, I somehow pity

“I notice that you cheer up the room when you walk in.” “...” “You are an inspiration to so many with the way you carry yourself and project the image of someone strong and independent. I learn so much just from being around you.” “...” “You’re always low-key and laid-back, yet you command attention with every move you make. There’s really something about you that is so uplifting.” “...” “You remind me of a garden in bloom. It must be because you always look so cool, fresh and lovely.” “...” Ever since Harriet asked Cassius to tell unique compliments which resemble those from the books, Cassius started spurting countless of compliments with nonchalant face, as if he was only forced to do this. He knows that Harriet is trying so hard to lessen the thick atmosphere between them, and he’s willing to help. As he muttered many, Harriet stared blankly at him. What the hell? What’s wrong with him? She got goosebumps. She wanted to complain about it, but it seemed like Cassius, w

Since I saw Cassius when he fetched me from my room, my heart has been beating so fast. An uncontrollably pounding heart. ‘Is it because Cassius is so handsome?’ I lifted my head and looked at the man dancing with me. Maybe it is. After I decided to move on from Zion, I started to feel good and my heart races whenever I see good -looking person. I roughly made this judgement and stopped thinking more. This is because there was something I had to do first. I looked down, watching my feet and restraining myself from making any mistake. Two steps after, I stepped on Cassius’ feet again. We both ceased from moving while our hands are holding together. I stayed my eyes downcast before slowly looking back at his gaze. “Does it hurt?” Cassius didn’t answer. I guess the rhetorical question was too bad that he won’t bother answering it. How many times did I step on his feet? My fingers aren’t enough to count all. As Cassius did not respond or move at all after my inquiry, the sile

Third Person’s POV Zion calmed down. He felt better after talking.He let out a big sighed and peered into her eyes.His heart, which had been racing, began to calm down as he spoke. All hostility and jealousy left him and as expected the answer was to confess.Zion smiled at her while thinking that way.Harriet opened her mouth, like fish under the water. She looked blankly at Zion and pondered what the hell did he say just now.She gawked at him, his eyes and his sincere beam.“You… what?” Harriet asked.Harriet couldn’t believe it, so she asked back, thinking that she might have heard it wrong.“Yeah. That’s right. I love you.”But Zion said the same hing again with a face that was too casual.He said he loves her.Ah, headache.Harriet staggered a little and he Zion caught her in his arms.She was so dumbfounded. At the time she realized that she will stop liking him and that she was starting to move on, he came like this and threw a bomb right on her face.Oh how cruel he is?!H
