Estella exited the bathroom wearing a black knee-length t-shirt even though it was intended for men. She brushed her hair while looking in the mirror to examine her face. She dropped off the comb when she was finished, then hurriedly went down.
Look around as if someone were hiding—there, here, left, right. Her meal had been interrupted earlier when she smelled her own horrible smell, so she grinned when she couldn't see the young man and hurried to the kitchen."It tastes good! Good goodness, the refrigerator has plenty of food." Estella said as she ate the menudo from the refrigerator, her mouth full.Estella was eating when the doorbell rang outside. Her heart pounded because she thought the police were coming. She was afraid the young man would let her go. What if... She is experiencing so many unfavorable thoughts."Estella, go inside the room." She was startled when she heard the young man's voice. "Faster, Estella! Bring what you eat.""O-okay.."She dashed into the bedroom, carrying the food she was eating, and quickly locked the door, thinking the young man would let her go. But why is he hiding me if he's going to catch me? Instead of continuing to eat, she simply dropped it on the mini-table and then grabbed her chest with a strong thump.***"Lucius! Your name has already been ruined; are you just chilling here?" His manager said he could see it was stressful.He only looked at his manager. He had no idea Estella was with him, and he didn't want to tell anyone because he wanted the confession to come from the woman herself. He didn't know, either, but he felt sorry for the woman. He has no right to pass judgment or level accusations if he does not know the whole story."Are you still paying attention, Lucius? You're disregarding this problem. What if-""Calm down, okay? Your beauty will be ruined, beks. Let me handle it alone." He stated he was speaking up and intervening because if he didn't, a lot of trouble would arise, and he didn't want that to happen.He could feel his manager's stress as he took a deep breath, but he didn't want to insure the woman was here because he knew what would happen next."OK, I'll let you handle it, but if this problem isn't solved in a month, I'll handle it and make sure that girl is caught; too bad she's really beautiful," his manager said, disappointed."You look better, beks," he said, and he wasn't wrong because he appeared to lose his temper for a moment.He condescendingly shook his head at him, "Hmph! You really like to flirt," he said, parting his hair to make himself look like a woman. He is so familiar with his tickle that he can easily make him tickle. "But that girl, Estella Velazquez, just the sound of the girl's name seems to be famous," he said, smiling at him.Lucius had no idea how long his manager would be staying. He was just waiting for him to leave because of his story and words. Finally, his manager stood up, exhaling a sigh of relief. He led him to the gate, and when he finally left, he went straight to the girl's room to check on her. He discovered the girl sitting on the edge of the bed, looking distressed."Are you okay?" He asked.Lucius could see the woman's nervousness on her face, and she didn't say a word. He simply stared at her, as if her eyes were talking. He didn't know why, but he felt sorry for her and approached her to assure her that she had nothing to worry about."Hey, are you okay?" Lucius asked the woman once again. The girl did not respond the second time. He hesitated to touch it, but he did so anyway to see if it was really okay. He could feel the chill in her body. "Don't worry, Estella, I don't see you-""Are they going to arrest me?" Finally, it spoke.He was correct in his assumption that the woman was scared.It calmed down when he shook his head. "No, don't worry, I'm not that kind of person, and I know you'll tell the truth when you're ready."The woman smiled, and the nervousness on her face gradually disappeared. The heavy feeling he had earlier was replaced by a light feeling. He shouldn't have protected the woman, but why did he feel the need to protect her?"Thank you, and I'm sorry. I, I'm sorry because you've been spoiled in public; why are you still helping me? Why are you like this despite the trouble I've caused?" The woman started asking questions.He didn't know the answer for sure. He shouldn't care about the woman, but every time he saw the fear in her eyes, he felt compelled to protect her.When the woman stood up, he noticed she was dressed in a black T-shirt. It appeared to the woman to be a dress because it was knee-length, but it was sexy despite its size. Because of her charming possessions, the woman cannot be mistaken for poor or in need of money.What the hell happened to cause him to feel the need to get rid of his beloved pet inside his pants when he thinks of the woman wearing his t-shirt, especially with its fragrant scent that adds to his warmth? The woman seemed to notice where he was focusing, so she sat down again near him. "I'm sorry if I messed up your clothes, but I don't see any women's clothes." It's a request for forgiveness."It's okay. Just eat, okay? I have to go." he said to the woman, before standing up and leaving the room.Estella awoke, feeling glad, and, for unknown reasons, smiled as she got out of bed. As long as she is in a good mood and feels nothing but pleasure. Is it because of the young man that he doesn't compel her to speak the truth? Especially since he is protecting her? She keeps a smile on her lips until she takes a shower. "Estella?" The voice came from outside the bedroom door, and it seemed to be Lucius calling her. She quickly wrapped a towel around her body before going out and went straight to the door to let the young man in. "Ah, good morning. What-" "Get dressed and go downstairs," said the young man, who didn't know where to look because only a towel was draped over the woman's body and half of her chest or cleavage peeked out. The young woman quickly followed the young man. She got dressed, and the clothes she was wearing were a young man's t-shirt that reached her knees. After that, she went down without a comb, and in her haste, she almost slipped. Luckily, she was clut
It's a good thing that Lucius' cousin Sandra, was kind enough to grant his request, although he was aware she was preoccupied and had a lot on her schedule. She also agreed to accompany Estella while he was not at the condo, so he was content to leave Estella at the condominium. The scandal harmed his image even more. He knows the edits are just that, and he'll prove everything to the public soon to clear his name. When Lucius heard what had happened inside his condo while he was still in the garage, he immediately ran upstairs to check. The young woman was screeching as she picked up the broken bottle, and Lucius was calling out her name, "Estella!" However, the young woman seemed to hear nothing as she knelt to start picking up small pieces of broken bottles on the floor. The young woman was holding the glass when he approached and grabbed her. She pulled it up and saw blood on her finger, but the woman didn't seem hurt, even though it was bleeding. "Lucius? So it's you! Drink t
Sandra grinned while holding her hand. "I'm sorry. Last night I truly planned to make you drunk." She gripped her hand tighter, her guilt visible in her eyes, and waited for her to explain. "I did that because I needed to know the truth; why you were able to discredit Lucius, why you lied. I was upset with you last night, but after hearing your story, my anger faded and was replaced by awe and sympathy." She became tense suddenly. What if they discovered who had ordered her? She didn't want anything to happen to her family. To get away with it, she had to do something. She was aware that the issue could explode anytime, but she needs to get the family away first so as not to get involved in the chaos. "Are you mad?" Sandra inquired her. She was also holding her hand. "Why would I be angry? You should be angry with me, but why don't you yell at me now, even though you already know the truth?" "Because I know you've just done that for your glamorous mother and siblings, you're just
She was so defensive that she raised her voice and interrupted Sandra and Kian's sweetness; they were now looking at her with confused expressions on their faces due to the noise she caused. "What happened?" Sandra inquired. Her smile was forced. "I-I'm sorry, I just screamed because it felt like a cockroach was crawling up my leg." "Lucius? Is there a cockroach here?" Sandra elevated her legs on the chair in fear. "Why do you have cockroaches in your condo, and why are you not cleaning it?" Lucius stood up and shook his head, carrying his own plate and placing it in the sink. Her gaze was fixed on the young man's every action. He looked at her before leaving the kitchen. Lucius was just sitting on the terrace, taking in some fresh air and pondering on what had happened the night before. He was more concerned with that than with his problems. In frustration, he rubbed his face with his two palms. He was upset with himself, but he couldn't stop himself from being annoyed by the wo
Estella wasn't sure which stance she would adopt. She was restless after telling Lucius not to be nice to her because she might fall for the young man. She had been turning around on the bed and was unsure of her position. She admitted the truth to him and couldn't have been more careless with what she said. She wants to escape as soon as possible because she doesn't want her heart to fall for the young man. You'd think that at her previous job, a lot of people tried to flirt with her. But her response was always, 'I don't want to; that's not on my mind yet because my priority is my family.' Gosh! Then she'll fall for someone she shouldn't have because they're so different. A big. NO! Never. "What brings you here?" She was anxious and unsure of who was speaking near her room door—whether it was the police or Lucius' manager. "I'm here because I'm worried about you," says a woman. She tried to eavesdrop on the conversation through the tiny gap in the door and saw the lady the youn
"I'm so sorry but I have to call a guard." After Lucius said that, Estella got even more nervous under the bed. The two argued for a while before the guards arrived and seized Vanessa, who was still making a noise. Estella was horrified by what she saw and felt bad for Vanessa. Because Vanessa was able to be pushed away by Lucius, what else could Estella possibly be? Estella's self-confidence remained low even further. That is nothing to be proud of. "Get the hell out of there." It was Lucius' voice. She crept out from under the bed and stood in front of the young man with a line of irritation on his face. She felt that her character was very shallow in front of the young man like she was worthless trash. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to listen in on your talk with Ms. Vanessa, and I assure you I have no intentions," she said, bowing to the young man. "Do you know that if you hadn't been able to hide, you may have ended up in jail? And the netizens might even have celebrated you and
She took a deep breath and braced herself for the inevitable realization that hit her like a ton of bricks: she had to clean the entire condo. Since she arrived at the young man's condo, Liam had not let a cleaner in, so she was the one who cleaned every day. She started cleaning and cleaning every part of the condo. She wiped down displays, cleaned the kitchen, swept, and now she is mopping the floor. While Estella was mopping the floor, she didn't notice that a small figurine had fallen. And she accidentally stepped on it, so she lost her balance. She closed her eyes because she knew what was going to happen next. And that's exactly what happened; she saw stars as she fell to the floor. "Ouch!" She screamed because of the sudden and intense pain she was feeling. "My ass..." She rubbed her butt when she felt the pain from falling to the floor. She hit the unforgiving floor; she fell hard, and she didn't know if she would be able to stand up in that position. She didn't intend to
"Keep quiet. I'm going to sit you down on the sofa and then you need to rest there for a while. You're injured, and I don't want you to strain yourself." He carefully butted her away from struggling, before gently sitting her down on the sofa. She couldn't help but smile. She could smell the young man's sweet, fragrant scent; here she was again, and sending her feelings for the young man. "Wait, there's a broken figurine I need-" "I'll take care of it." The young man answered immediately. "B-but-" "No buts. Go to sleep." The voice says it with such authority. "Thank you, but I'm not sleepy. I should even cook because I know you're hungry-" Lucius cut her off with a smile. "I will cook. I know you're hungry too, wait for me here, okay?" He said with a small, but still noticeable, grin on his lips before going to the kitchen to start making lunch. Something touched her heart because of the young man's sweet, considerate behavior. No matter how much she disobeyed her heart and wa
