Mildy Pov I hurriedly walked to the bathroom because I felt like I was about to pee at the moment. I've been holding back my urine for a while because I'm ashamed to stand up. What is embarrassing if I go to the comfort room to pee? But even though there's nothing to be ashamed of, I was still embarrassed earlier, so here I am, like ten demons chasing me in a hurry to get to the comfort room right away. I just shook my head at what I thought though I feel like a fool. When I turned the corner to go to the bathroom, I accidentally bumped into the person who just came from the comfort room's direction. I almost fell to the floor if I didn't quickly hug the waist of the person I bumped into in my haste. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry," I immediately apologized to him. When I looked at the face of the person I bumped into, my face suddenly crumpled. "Oh, it's you. Why are you in such a hurry? Is it coming out?" he asked me smiling. I feel very unfortunate. My face turned red with embarrassme
Amber PovAfter Mildy arrived at her apartment, she immediately went straight to my room to find out what happened to my conversation with Phil. "Tell me what you and Phil talked about, Amber. Don't keep it a secret from me or else I will get mad at you," said Mildy after I opened the door for her then I got back on top of my bed. She followed me and sat on the edge of the bed. She was looking at me excitedly and waiting for what I would tell her. "You haven't even changed your clothes before you came and want to hear gossip," I said to her shaking my head. "That matter can wait but not my curiosity about what you talked about with Phil. Did he explain what you saw in his house? Did he also ask you for an explanation as to why you lived in Nikky's condo before ?" Mildy asked one after the other. It looks like she won't stop asking me until I tell her what Phil and I talked about earlier. But what did we talk about? Except that he got mad at me because I didn't tell him that I don
Amber PovI nervously went to Phil's office located on the fourth floor of the Sunshine Shopping Mall. Before I knocked three times on his office door I took a deep breath and prepared myself for whatever he had to say."Come in," I heard his voice from inside the office.I opened the door and went inside. The air conditioner inside his office is so strong that I can't help but feel cold. I secretly wished that I wouldn't have to stay longer in his office because I would surely shiver from the cold."You're calling me, Mr. Salvatore? Do you need anything from me?" I asked him seriously as I stood in front of him.Phil stood up from his swivel chair and walked to the door then locked it. I frowned at what he did. Why does he have to lock the door?"Tell me honestly, Amber. Is Melvin your lover? Does he have hope in your heart? And does he know that I'm your husband?" Phil asked one after the other as he walked towards me."That's my personal life, Mr. Salvatore, and has nothing to do
Amber Pov "I'm sorry, Amber. I can't go home with you now. My Mom called me earlier. She wants me to accompany her to the birthday party of one of her friends. I can't refuse her so even if I don't want to go with her to that party I have no choice but to attend or else he will sulk for a long time," Mildy apologized to me as she fixed herself in front of the big mirror inside the ladies' room of the mall while I am removing my makeup. I only have eyebrows and lipstick left on my face. We both just got off from work. Both our duty is from 10 am to 6 pm so we always leave and go home to her apartment together. When I have time, I take off my makeup at the mall, so when I get to the apartment, I just need to wash my face and rest early. "It's okay, Mildy. Your parents are old, so you should spend more time with them while they're still alive, while you still have time and chances to do it. So that when God takes them, you won't, you won't regret not being with them for a long time,"
Amber PovPhil's face was dark and angry when I saw him. He quickly walk closer to us and roughly removed Melvin's hand that was holding one of my arms and then pulled me away from him. "What are you doing here in the dark part of the parking lot, Amber?" he asked me with sharp eyes. He seems to think that Melvin and I are doing something inappropriate so we are here in the dark part of the parking lot. "With due respect, Sir Salvatore. Our working hours are over, so you don't care what Amber and I do after work," Melvin boldly spoke to Phil. "Aren't you, Amber?" I couldn't believe what Melvin said. Although what he said was true but it seemed that he wanted to convey a message to Phil. And what he said seemed to confirm Phil's bad thoughts about us. I don't know where Melvin gets the confidence to think that I like him. Or maybe he's just really thick-faced so he didn't pay attention to what I said that I didn't like him. That I only consider him as a friend. But if he keeps on
Amber PovLooks like I'm unlucky tonight. I've been waiting for a bus to the board but all the buses that pass by didn't stop because they were all full of passengers. I can see the passengers standing in the middle of the bus crowded because there is no place for them to sit.When I insist on riding even though they are crowded, I will definitely be touched by pervert men even more especially I am wearing a short skirt which is our uniform, and a sleeveless shirt on top.Since I had been waiting for the bus for more than an hour, I decided to walk towards and look for a jeepney that was passing by in the street that goes to Mildy's apartment. I'll just get off at the corner and ride a tricycle going to Mildy's apartment. I'd rather take a cutting trip than wait to catch a bus.I was really unlucky because it suddenly started to rain heavily. I was going to run towards the waiting shed but when I saw that it was already filled with people taking shelter I decided to just pass by them.
Amber PovWe are both silent inside Phil's car and driving home to Mildy's apartment. At first, he tried to talk to me but I didn't answer him instead I slept until we reached my friend's apartment.After his car stopped, I got out of the car and hurriedly walked to the gate without saying goodbye."Amber!" Phil called my name. He got out of his car but didn't completely approach me. "Aren't you going to tell me something?"I stopped my intention of opening the gate when I heard him call me. I took a deep breath before I faced him."Ahm, thank you very much for driving me home," I said to him obliquely. Then I proceeded to open the gate."Isn't what happened to us mean nothing to you?" I heard Phil ask when I was about to enter the gate."We're not children anymore, Phil. We know what we're doing. And what happened earlier was caused by the cold atmosphere and body heat, so we shouldn't think about that anymore," I answered, pretending to be indifferent to him. I didn't wait for what
Amber PovI felt heavy when I woke up the next day, but I had to go to work. So, even though my body felt bad, I still forced myself to get up from bed. However, when I stood up, I suddenly felt dizzy. My body falls back onto the bed as if I have no strength. The door of my room suddenly opened, and Mildy who was about to enter saw exactly what happened to me."My God, Amber! What happened to you?" Worried, she ran to me. "Your fever is high," she said after touching my arm. She helped me lie comfortably on the bed. "I'll take care of myself, Mildy. Just go to work and you might be late," I told her in a low voice. "How can you take care of yourself when you can't even stand up by yourself?" she answered me with a mix of annoyance and concern in her voice. "I just don't want you to be late for work. Your salary will definitely be reduced." "I don't care if I'm late or can't go to work today. Money isn't a problem for me, you know that. I'm just working there because you're also wo
