I forced myself to smile after hearing what Axis replied. "Y-yeah. There's n-nothing b-between the two of us," my voice weaken and I couldn’t help but to avoid his stare. "I think I have to go. Aishi texted me and they need me at the resto," I excused but that was a lie because Aishi didn't sent me a message at all.
"Alright," Axis responded plainly and I felt more pain in my chest.
"I guess I have to go now," I said and stood up. I slowly stepped out and I am expecting him to follow me like the usual thing he does but I already stormed out of his office, yet I didn't even feel his presence behind me.
Upon closing the door, I leaned my back against it. Every time I went out of his office before, he would accompany me out and take me to my restaurant, but why is he not doing that now?
I closed my eyes when I feel the weight on my chest. Why am I feeling this? Axis, why are you like this?
"Ma'am Yasha?" I was stunned when someone tapped my arm. "Are you a
I woke up because of a series of knocks from outside my unit so I got out of bed. Without checking how do I look like, I left the room and headed to the first floor."Good morning," I stopped rubbing my eyes when I saw that it was Darrel and was holding a bunch of flowers. "For you," I quickly straightened myself and fixed my messy hair before I reached for the flower."Ah, thank you. Good morning. Come in," I shyly invited him inside. "What are you doing here this early?" I asked him, curiosity crossed in my face. It's not new to me that he always comes here. I'm just wondering what he is doing here this early."Doing what suitors usually do?" He answered smilingly and I had not choice but to return him back the smile. I still feel the awkwardness though."You want coffee?" I asked and saw him nod his head so I quickly went to the kitchen and made two cups of coffee; one which is mine, the other one is for him.After handling him the cup of coffee,

The next following days, Darrel always picks me up and delivers me back to my unit. I even read some articles about us, asking if we're dating or not. No one spoke on either side of mine and Darrel. Let them think whatever they want to think about us."Ma'am Reese, I noticed that you go out more often with Sir Darrel?" Honeyleth asked. This woman is really curious about things, and I'm the one whom she always pays attention to."Besides, Ma'am, why doesn't Sir Axis seem to see you anymore?" She asked again but I didn't answer her question. I decided to just keep quiet because to be honest, I can't and I don't want to answer her.As lunch time approaches, lot of customers came. The more the customers arrive, the busier I get at the restaurant. And that became my routine every time I am here at the restaurant."Let's go Yasha," Darrel was here again and he said he would take me to the restaurant.That's what he always does. Even if I stop him, he wo
"Mark, please bring it to table 16, Kurt isn't here yet.""Wait a minute Jenna, I'll just bring this to table 3.""Can you please hurry up? The customers at table 16 have been waiting for quite a while now." I turned to Jenna and Mark's direction while hearing them exchanging words. As I noticed that both of them are busy, that's when I decided to approach them."What's the matter?" I asked them."The customers at Table 16 have been waiting—""Let me do it," I cut her words since I already knew what she's going to say. Their conversation earlier gave me a clue though."Are you sure Ma'am?" Jenna's forehead crinkled as I volunteered myself."Yeah, besides I don't want our customers to wait." I smiled at her, telling her that it's no big deal to me.Jenna looks hesitant if she could hand me the food tray or not. What I did is to take it from her as the sides of my mouth turned up."Table 16 right?" I queried, making sure if what I
Darrel and I arrived in my unit around 2 in the afternoon. Both of us entered in. Darrel went straight to my kitchen while I went upstairs to change my clothes. Since I'm already home, I wore a loose and comfortable shorts and a simple blouse. I also did messy bun in my hair before I went downstairs.Darrel is now wearing a black apron and he's busy mixing all the ingredients in a mixing bowl when I headed in the kitchen."Why did you take my role in making cookies?" I nagged at his back. Darrel then turned to me and laughed. I pouted my lips while glaring at him.When we were still in high school, we used to make cookies together. I was the one mixing all the ingredients while he was the one baking it but now, inside my own unit, this guy just took my role."Let's exchange for the mean time." He said, smiling devilishly. Aish!"What shape do you want?" I asked while pressing the cookie cutter on the dough to make cookie shapes."Heart shape."
I've been lying in the bed for I don't know how long it is now but I can't seem to fall asleep. I adjusted my position and leaned my head against the headboard. I closed my eyes, trying to let drowsiness visit me but what happened earlier flashed back in me and I can't help but smile.I bit my lip hard and I even hugged my pillow tight. Soon, I screamed silently. Gosh! Did he just say that he's jealous? Is Axis really jealous?Darn! I know I haven't been visited by drowsiness yet but please, tell me I'm not dreaming because I don't know how to accept it if it's all just a dream.I hurried out of my room when I realized that I woke up late. Aish! I don't know what time did I sleep last night. All I know is that I'm still sleepy but I have to get up now.Before leaving my room, I took the car key from the bedside table and finally went downstairs. Surprise drew in my face because the moment I stepped out of my unit, I saw Axis comfortably leaning against th
After informing me that Darrel was here, Honeyleth went back inside. Having no idea as to why Darrel was here, I shrugged. On the other hand, I guess it's better that he came here because I wanted to talk to him about something very important.Shrugging both of my shoulders again, I followed Honeyleth downstairs. I asked her where Darrel is since he's not inside. When she told me that he's waiting outside, I went out. There, I saw him leaning at the side of his car and he waved his hand when he saw me. I just smiled at him.I gestured him to wait for me in a bit then I went to my table and took my things. I was about to leave when Aishi spoke behind me."Yasha, fix yourself. It's not good to see that someone brought you here, yet another person is fetching you." She said and it's more on an advice to me. I understand why she sounded like that and I appreciate it a lot. Aishi really cares for me."Yes Manager. Don't worry, I already made up my mind. Just trust
I wiped away my tears incessantly. I took a deep breath because I felt like I was going to run out of air. Then I ended up sobbing silently. He just told me that he was jealous the last time. He even kissed me that time! Then why do I have to witness this now?My tears fell again. Stupid idiot, it's only now that I'm admitting to myself that I like you, but why do you have to hurt me right away?"Ma'am Yasha!" I immediately dried my tears when I saw Angeli coming towards me. "Oh my! Are you crying, Ma'am?" She asked me and I shook my head but my eyes can't lie because there were tears falling from there again."Oh my," Angeli's eyes now showing me worries. I held her hand and we walked away from that place. "Ma'am, why are you crying?" She once asked and that caused my tears to flow again."Angeli please, don't tell Axis that I came here." My voice cracked while begging at her."Ma'am..." I just bit my lower lip."P-please, don't tell him that I c
