[Brad POV]
"Hey, dude, are you with me?" I turned to Albert. "I'm talking to you, but you're not listening, where's your mind floating right now?"
“Yes. What is it again?” I asked because he was right, I was not paying attention.
“Oh. I think someone is bothering you,” he said while shaking and smiling.
“Just don’t mind my silence. Anyway, what are you doing here? Do you need anything?” I said while getting my paperwork on the table.
“See, you're not listening. What are you thinking?”
"Nothing." I looked up at him.
“Okay. If not, then let me guess who is bothering you at this point.” He even put his index finger to the edge of his lips and thought.
“Guess who?” I turned my attention back to what was being done.
“I think I already know. Is it her?”
I frowned and looked at him aga
[Charmane POV]"Miss Cordova."I was surprised when someone called me. Suddenly my sleepy spirit woke up. I turned around and answered alertly."Y-yes, sir?""Have you finished the papers I need today for the meeting?" he asked in a serious voice.“Yes, sir. It's done.” I stood up and was about to give it to him. But he suddenly turned away. "Sir, wait… Here are those documents—"“Bring that to my office now. And please with a cup of coffee.” I was handed it to him, but he did not even take it.Ugh! He’s really annoying! About the kiss yesterday, I swear it will not happen again. It has no malice. Act normal, Charmane, I still whispered to myself while brewing a coffee.I calmed myself for a while before entering his office. "Here's your coffee and the documents that you needed, Sir." When I put down the coffee and th
As a result of my contemplation, I did not notice that I had reached the elegant subdivision that I am looking for. I read the big name of the subdivision.'Castillo De Amore.' Wow, it’s a Spanish phrase, huh. Nice one.As far as I can see the outside of the subdivision, is really affluent. It's so beautiful, to think that I'm just outside. What if I'm already inside? I guess the houses there are mansions.Since the place is exclusive, of course, their security is strict. The numerous security teams scattered outside and inside the gate. Usually, in other subdivisions, there are only has two or three guards at the entrance.“Good evening, Ma’am. Where are you going?" the guard asked me."Ferrer residence," I replied.He took a logbook from the guardhouse, then returned. "Can I have your name and ID, Ma'am?" he asked politely.
[Charmane POV]“H-hi. Good evening, ”I greeted them while my eyes were set only on my boss. But I immediately withdrew because I was really confused. I feel like ice cream that melts the way he stared."Oh, hi, lady, good evening," his companion greeted.“Ahm, by the way, this is Charmane. Charm, this is Greg Ferrer, the owner of this house.”Oh, he is Greg? The luck of the girlfriend to this person."Nice meeting you, Charmane." Mr. Ferrer extended his hand and I accepted it even though it was awkward.“Same here, Mr. Ferrer. ”“It would be nice if you just call me. Well, you’re really beautiful and you’re perfect for each— ” He couldn’t say what to say next because the person next to him kicked him gently.I felt awkward. I feel like both my cheeks are red. What could that Albert have said here to this Greg?
[Brad POV]I had been looking for Charmane everywhere but I don’t know where to find her. Bea took her because they were just going to talk for a while. But it had been ten minutes since they left. Earlier I was still almost winding all around. so, I decided to go back to our table, only to find out that she was already there with Albert and Amanda.I smiled as I walked in their direction. They did not notice me because they were busy chatting.“Hey, guys. I think I can hear my name in your conversation.” the two looked at me. "Did you two tell her something about me?" I saw Charmane’s pale face. She froze when she heard my voice.“Oh, dude. We built you a good image to Charm,” the two replied.I just shook my head and smiled. “Good. You, where have you been? I've been looking for you a while ago. And where is Bea?” I asked Charmane.“Bea an
“Look, I don't care if she's your girlfriend or not! Because in the first place, I know where's my place is.”"She's not my girl," Brad repeated.I turned to him and then smiled wryly. I looked at his eyes down to his soft lips. I raised my fingers to touch it. I didn’t know where did I get my strength to do that. It was just as if my hand just had the brain to do that."Why so defensive, huh?" I looked at his eyes again while my fingers were still touching his lower lip. "There is no us, right?"He swallowed while staring into my eyes. With the scent of his breath, it was as if I was really losing myself and my knees were weakening as well. Is this what they are saying that when you get drunk you dare to do what you can't do when you are sane?
I woke up to the noise of my cellphone place on the side table of my bed. I was lazy to hand it over.Bradley's calling…It was him again. He was still calling last night but I didn't answer. As for his texts, I don’t read either. I just informed him I was home. it's up to him whether he gets angry or not.I would have answered when it suddenly stopped ringing. I have just opened his messages to me since last night.I smiled as I read them. It was obvious that he was angry with my escape. I also read texts from Bea. She was also worried about my exit. All she knew was that Brad and I were going home together. I texted Bea first before getting up.I immediately went to my son's room. It was the weekend and it's our day to spend time together.“Mommy…&rdq
It was Monday morning and time to face my boss. I knew I was guilty. I had to face him even though I didn’t know how to act in front of him now.I cleaned his office even though it was clean. I wiped his desk and arranged the paperwork. I also rearranged his bookshelf.After I fixed his office I went out. It was time to clean my table too. After I cleaned up I went to the coffee maker and made my own coffee. I would have done Brad too but I changed my mind because he might be late today.I sat at my table then I turned on my computer. I scanned his schedules and meetings for that day so that if he asked me later I would have an answer right away. Then I proceeded to my unfinished works last Friday because he sent me home early that day.Actually, the deadline for the others he asked to do was still long, but I had to work on it in advance so that my wor
I sighed when I saw an unpleasant people of yesterday. Of all the people in this world, why this person I will see today?This was unexpected but annoying!I didn’t expect to see him again. why is it that of all the people in the world, why he's appeared as a business meeting partner with my boss?I couldn’t help but watch him as he wasn’t looking in our direction.I guess he changed a lot. The way he dressed, very different from what I had known before. As well as his physique also changed because he gained more muscles unlike before which is quite thin. Maybe he’s going to the gym now. His face is also clear, unlike before, with a small mustache.But wait! Why was I comparing his old and new physique? If much has changed in him? Well, I don’t care. Nor did I come
