HazelOne week later"Congratulations Mr. Damon for the successful project" The staffs cheered as they blew confetti all over Damon's head. Surprise gathered all over this face. I know he isn't expecting that. I planned all of it. He deserved the praises. To give him more encouragement. We are finally done with the clothing line project. Everything has been set up. Now it's left for it to blow up. And I know that will be happening soon. Damon and I shared a look which was a knowing one. He knew It was all my plan. After all the praises and well wishes, I was left alone with him. "You-"The warm arms that embraced me halted what I was going to say. "Thank you Hazel. This is special" He muttered tightly his hold around me. I held on tightly too. He pulled apart and offered out a smile. "You deserve all the praises of the world. You know, the past weeks hasn't been easy. You worked so hard to see the business come to life" "You're right. It wasn't something simple. You might not know t

DamonI don't know why I was getting to excited. It's going to be my first normal outing with Hazel. It's not as if it's was the first time. But everything I do with her is a first to me. I kept checking my watch for time. There's a lot of time to go. "Chill man. Why are you acting as if you're in a relationship for the first time" Derek uttered beside me. We were on our way back from the construction site. I decided to do things my way. The workers will start setting the place and then they will take a week off before starting the main work. When father heard about it, he was angry like I expected. However, I made him understand without the workers, our building won't come to life. I only spared him a glance before diverting my attention back to the road. "What does that have to do with me?" I asked. "You know, you're getting overly excited. Like a teenage boy going on a date with the girl he proposed to" I said nothing because I felt like it's true. I'm acting like a teenage boy.

HazelI've never felt devasted and belittle like I felt at that moment. My head spun around. I couldn't believe my ears. The information didn't come direct to me. I thought at least things will stay the way they are. Even if we don't continue our relationship. I didn't know he has everything planned. Engagement? He knew he's going to get back together with his ex-girlfriend yet he toyed with my feelings. I was shocked. No I was angry. Angry at myself for still having hope. Angry at myself for still having feelings for him. The news of Damon’s engagement is all over the tabloid taking everyone by shock. It will be a hot topic for another week. What I'm grateful about is the fact that no one knows about my relationship with him. Not even Leah who was having her suspicious. At least it will save me from the embarrassment. However, I can't do away with the bitterness that settled at the pit of my stomach when I heard some of the staffs talking about it. The elevator door opened and I wea

Two days laterHazelI can’t believe I’m doing this. Like faking a relationship with Lucas. Someone I barely know not up to a month or even weeks. The plan was to act normally but like couples in the presence of Damon. I don't know how Lucas would do it. He said he will prolonged his stay here. If you ask me why he's interested in helping me, I have no idea. When I asked if it will affect his work, he only smile. It didn't surprise me my friend agreed full percent with the idea also looking forward to meet Lucas. That will be another discussion for another day. I don't want them to exaggerate things. No matter how hard I think of the damage he's done to my heart, I know my feelings for him are still there. I was all set ready to leave for work when my phone chimed with messages from my friends. Good Luck girl! Show that asshole he's missing on a gem like you. I found myself smiling at their messages. I switched off the light before making my way out. Surprise filled me up when I m

HazelI was home resting today from work. Today being one of my day off. You choose two days in a month for day off. Luckily for me, It falls down on the perfect day. I don't have much to do. We planned to have a girls night today. Since we’re all free. Last night was quite okay. We had fun with Lucas. We got to know more about each other. He's not that bad. Although I can't compare him to Damon. Maybe because I have feelings for Damon. I won’t mind being friends with Lucas. He good in keeping someone company. I don't know how he will manage two companies. Will he be present as the co-partner or it will only be on papers. I suddenly got the cravings of cupcakes. Since I have the ingredients, I decided to bake it. The aroma filled my nostrils even before I had a taste of it. I took a snapshot of it and posted it on the group. Just like I anticipated to get hearts emojis, I got them. With an extra angry emoji from Layla. Just wait till we meet later. Pray I forget. I chuckle at the w
