All Chapters of Rejection and YOU: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Under the shower, I couldn't help but think about the man from the door next to me. We arrived at the hotel on the same day and it puzzled me about the reason why he transferred his suite. Also, it bothered me that Denver and Meadow left in a rush. I couldn't hold to wonder if Meadow got an emergency. I didn't know but a portion of my heart was sad about their sudden departure. Honestly, it should ease my system but I couldn't decipher why I'm feeling that way. I shouldn't get bothered anymore because they couldn't wake my agitation around their presence, but it felt the other way around. It stirred my rational thoughts and emotions. Right after I was changed into a floral string dress with a length right above my knee, I prepped for my dinner downstairs. Since I wasn't that famished yet, I got ready at my own pace. I even applied a lotion to my skin and thankfully, no sign of sunburn could be noticed. Well, it wasn't sunny when I soaked my body on the beach so it was impossible to g

I didn't know for how long I was in deep thought when I realized that Denver was sitting a seat away from me. Thank goodness there was one more seat that separates us. It was crazy to think that he was at the same resort where I chose to spend my leisure time, he left the hotel on the same day that I did, and we had the same flight. My gut feeling was telling me he did it purposely, but I saw him dealing with his business the entire time, too. Dense!The flight felt extraordinary because I experienced the best services the business class could offer. I was served wine, savory foods, and even dessert. I never once imagined being in the luxurious seat but it already happened.Denver asked me a few times if I need anything but I assured him that I'm fine. Well, I refused him every time because I didn't want us to talk for long. Actually, he was on the edge of winning my heart again, and that I'm scared about. However, I had no plans of showing hints to him yet.When the aircraft landed s

Without concealing any hypocrisy, I felt displeased to learn that it was Meadow. I'm aware she's our incoming clientele because it was mentioned during our yacht dinner that her modeling office is under construction. She was absolutely in need of high-quality glass walls but I did not anticipate that it would be sooner.Indeed, it was ironic because of all the days that Miss Vera could ask for help on a factory visit, coincidentally, it happened when her client is the very last person that I wanted to assist. Not that I don't want, but somehow, I'm not comfortable around her.Since I didn't want to complain about it, I replied and accepted the task. I had no other choice because it was part of my job. I could only wish all of a sudden that Meadow herself would cancel the schedule due to some personal reason. I shook my head at the idiotic thought.The rest of my day ran smoothly, however, I could sense some eyes staring playfully at me whenever I opt to go out of my space. Even Alici

"Oh, Mr... Mr... Ford left for London... for a month?" I trailed off unable to hide the surprise in my voice. It felt like something pinched my chest knowing he left without even sparing a goodbye message to me. It was an indication that we won't see each other that long or might be, he chose to stay away from me. However, I couldn't blame him because I was the one who put that gap between us. I presumed he gave up. Meadow twisted her lips and seemed she had something in mind. "Yeah, he mentioned he need the break because someone is pissed at his presence here in Harrisburg. Vague right? Do you think it's a woman?" She creased her brows and the curiosity was visible. "I mean, if it's a man, for sure he won't back down. Do I make sense?" and added with a puzzled stare. I swallowed the lump that lingered in my throat because of the tension inside me. My stomach was churning and I felt all sweaty although the weather was gloomy. I faked a cough. "Haven't you heard he's dating someone

On the weekend, I spent all my time attending to Catie. It wasn’t that hard for me adjusting to having her in my life because I’m used to taking care of children in the center. Thankfully, Catie was cooperative and we got along well.“Catie, put all your toys back on the stand,” I told her gently after we played in her room. I bet after being with me for two days, she got accustomed to our setup. Gradually, it was sinking into her mind that it is now the two of us together until she reaches her legal years. It doesn’t matter if she chooses to stay with me beyond that years, what’s important is we stick together and have each other’s back no matter what.Monday came and I needed to leave her to her nanny. In a short span of days, I was deeply attached to my sweet little girl. I believed it was a mutual feeling because she was clearly on the verge of tears when I bid her goodbye to go to work.“Morning, Miss Vera,” I handed over the hard copies of Meadow’s purchase request for her signa
