The next morning, I woke up from a chair that I pulled from my dining room and placed next to the bed. I slept with my head resting on the bed and my waist bent for the whole night. I feel so sore when I sit back straight up.
I give a deep yawn as I stretch my body, then a sneeze follows. I feel cold, I take a deep sniffle as I feel my nose runny, and I feel a little pain in my eyes as I rub them with my fists.
I open my eyes and look at Jamie who is still in her sleep in my bed. I adjust the blanket for her, covering her shoulders. I wonder if she feels better by now?
As I ponder, I pick up the tympanic thermometer from the night table and carefully insert the probe into her ear.
I pressed the start button an
For the rest of the day, we didn’t go to work. Jamie stays at my place to take more rest, and I stay to take care of her.Victor invited me to a party happening tonight at his weekend house, yet I rejected his invitation.I took care of Jamie throughout the day——changing her towels, taking her temperature, making sure she took the pills, making sure her fever went down, cooking her some porridge and feeding her.During the rest of the time, I watch her favorite TV show with her, help her out coping with the phone calls from work, though that includes answering Dylan Watkin’s phone call in order to make him jealous.Time flies, the sky turns dark very quickly.
The next morning, Jamie had her butler deliver her clothes to my penthouse. She changed to her working attire before we headed to Minerva together.As she arrives in her office and sees the chocolates and bottled jujube tea that I put on her desk in the past few days, her expression turns bright, a smile cracks on her face.“Jujube tea, and tons of chocolates!” like a happy child she cheered, “How come you got me so many of these?”Complacently, I smile at her, “I believe it is time you’re on period.”Whereas Jamie blows her fringe as she picks the chocolates up, “Right. Supposingly.
Not that I am unreasonable, I understand that anyone can come to Jamie’s office, colleagues, family, friends…But Dylan Watkins? NO THANKS.If there is one last person I would want to see coming into Jamie’s office, it should be him.It must be him.It can’t be anyone else but him!Ugh! Dylan Watkins! I hate him so much! And now here he is!Damn it! What is he doing here in my girlfriend’s office!?As I feel my ears on fire and smoke co
“Hey!”I turn around and look at the person who just patted me on my shoulder, and I see...“Justin?” hey! “What’s up?”With a teaseful smirk on his face, Justin points at the door that I am standing in front of, and he mentions, “You are almost going into the wrong bathroom. Again.”As I hear him, I turn my head back and give the sign on the door a glance.“Woah.”With an ironic chuckle, I made a surprised sound——I’ve lost count of the times I was getting in, or ‘ve gotten into the wrong bathroom!
The day is always beautiful in Jamie’s office, until when it comes to the time before lunch.Like I usually do, I sit at my coffee table sorting out my job, sometimes take a peek at Jamie who is putting in all her attention in her job so deeply like a workaholic. What’s different is that she used to be my boss, while now she is still my boss, yet at the same time my girlfriend.I put a sweet smile on my face when I look at her being so passionate about her job. I feel so comforted when I see her giving all her time and effort to run Minerva, she doesn’t make herself look like she is actually running a company which belongs to the others.About that, although she discovered my true gender, she still has no idea about who I truly am, and the relationshi
“Henry…” with her eyes remaining on the laptop screen, Jamie questions me, “That fruit juice store you’ve been buying drinks from…”I raise my eyebrows, “Juicy Punch? What about it?”She moves her glance into my face, her face turns rather blank, I can see confusion in her eyes.Her brows furrowed, “You’ve been walking in and out of that fruit juice store everyday… Is it because you are fond of one of the girls who works there?”At once, her question emptied my mind, only Daniella’s face popped up in my head.…
“Ugh!”Not seeing it coming, I fail to dodge it.I feel my left eye hit by the snow globe even when I shut my eyes. I hear the snow globe fall to the floor and crash into pieces.It takes me just a second to feel the pain spreading from my zygomatic bone to my nose and my forehead.When I open my eyes again, I see the blood trickling down my cheek and dripping over the glass shards on the floor.The office falls to silence. We become so quiet that I can almost hear the sound of my blood dripping.I believe that Jamie is startled too. She didn’t see it coming either, she just
The time is one in the afternoon when Jamie and I got back from lunch. I sent her to the conference room where her next meeting helds with all the documents she needs.I promised her that I will go home to get my blood stained shirt changed and come back to the office before her next appointment starts.However, before I leave, I have something urgent to be settled.I return to the 103rd floor of the office building, and enter Justin’s office.Luckily, even though it is still lunch time, Justin is present in his office with his assistant.“Hey, Henry! What is it? Are you going to ask me out for lunch?” he greeted me with a bright smile.&nb
