The next morning, I visited Juicy Punch to get my fruit juice as usual. Although my heart is not on Daniella anymore, I guess buying some fruit juice in the morning won’t hurt. I am a loyal customer after all.
After getting my fruit juice, I got Jamie’s breakfast from Coffee Bloom on my way back.
However, it seems like Jamie has somebody in her office, so I have no choice but to wait outside.
I decided to settle down on my own desk first. It has been a long time since I last had the chance to spend some quality time enjoying my desk.
There, just when I am about to sit down on my chair and lie down on my desk, someone suddenly appears in front of me.
After we’ve gotten out of Justin’s office, Justin brought me to the basement carpark and locked the both of us in his car.Justin holds my hand, trying to calm me down a little, yet my hands turn so cold, they keep quivering.I can’t stop thinking, “Why is Melonie Myers watching me? Who sent her? What is her motive?”I didn’t even know her before we met at the bathroom, why is she doing this to me? First the pantry, then at Los Alimentos…Why is she stalking me?“Henry.” Justin grabs my hands tighter as he looks at my face and asks, “Who else knows about your true identity? Who else knows yo
“Good morning, Jamie.”After we have a talk in Justin’s car, we return to the office. While I enter Jamie’s office with a firm decision I’ve made in my heart.“You are late.” as Jamie sees me, she takes a sip of her ristretto and puts the cup down, she mentions, “I saw the beverage you bought, but you weren’t around. Where did you go?”I point at my back with my thumb as I put up a silly smile, “I was in the bathroom. You know, fruit juice helps in digesting.”Ugh! Listen to myself! More lies!I think it’s becoming a habit! I really need to stop doing this!
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”It is before we can react to the situation when a bunch of people suddenly barge into Jamie’s office with party hats on their heads and a big round cake in Mila’s hands.Before we can even see everyone’s face clearly, the candles on the cake are lit up, and everybody starts to sing.“Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy Birthday to Jamie! Happy birthday to you!”“Woo-hoo!”“Yay!”“Happy birthday, boss!”Happy birthday, Jamie!&rdqu
After Justin confirmed that he has discovered and removed all the bug devices found in his office, he welcomes me into his office for secret talks again.As soon as he locks the door behind him, I reveal, “I think Andrew is the one who sent Melonie after me.”Justin squints, “Are you sure about it?”“Yes.” oh, hell I am.He then asks, “What is his motive? Why is he watching you?”I pout, “Probably just to expose me.”“Right, that, of course… But I do not understand.” he continues to list down his question, “As the
That night after letting Melonie go, Victor and Justin went back home.While I am still on the street, I haven’t forgotten that today is Jamie’s birthday, and me, as Henry, hasn’t yet had the chance to get her a present and celebrate it with her.Listening to Victor and Justin’s advice earlier, instead of bringing her out, I decided to go to the Peyton Mansion and give her a surprise tonight.Ah, what a beautiful night to surprise her with… Right, first, I need to think about what I should get her on this special day.While I am pondering as I drive into a familiar street, a florist enters my sight.Florist. People say girls l
The next morning, I come to work with a pair of red puffy eyes.I didn’t sleep well last night, or I should say, I didn’t manage to sleep last night. Sure, I was crying, but I was exhausted too. Yet before I could fall asleep, Jamie called me.And of course, I didn’t answer the phone, because I was upset. However, Jamie didn’t give up calling, she kept calling me, from one second after disconnection, to half an hour disconnection.She spammed my inbox when she was not calling. She said she wanted to explain, she wanted me to pick up the phone; she said Dylan was just a friend, he just happened to know yesterday was her birthday, and he was just being kind to celebrate it with her; she said she like the flowers I bough, she took a picture showing me th
After making a deal with Jamie during that talk, I find an excuse and get out of Jamie’s office with my phone.Knowing that the bathroom is now no longer safe brings me to the pantry. I simply give the pantry a check before I make the call, in case there are some bug devices adapted to the cabinets and table.After making sure it is safe here, I put down the blinds and make a call with my phone.Just a second after it is connected, the phone is answered.“Henry!” Jamie’s voice comes in immediately, her voice sounds a little agitated, “You finally call me…”While before I can say
It was eight at night when I arrived at the Peyton Mansion to pick Jamie up.She dresses herself in a beautiful white dress, the hemline covers her legs, only revealing her fair heels in the pale mauve kitten heels.She tucks a strand of her hair to the back of her ear. She lowers her head a little and looks at the floor as she smiles.She looks like a pure, shy, demure young lady… Just the type of girl I dreamt to marry.That night, after picking her up with my car, we did not go to any restaurant to have a meal. Instead, I’ve brought her to the North Avenue Beach.The colorful lights of the city draw the Chicago skyline on the purple ca
