Bernie's POVEach cup of wine poured down my throat, burning hot as if it wanted to burn my whole body. It's been a while since I was admitted to the hospital since I haven't touched alcohol, except when it's imperative that I politely refuse. Leonard is an important partner, and I could hardly refuse his invitation.Suddenly, Dylan pulled me. He asked with a low voice, "Do you need me to drink instead? Emma said you can't drink much."I shook my head, and when Leonard wasn't paying attention, he leaned close to Dylan's ear: "Don't drink. There must be a sane person between the two of us."I narrowed my eyes slightly. This wine has a low alcohol content, but drinking a lot makes people feel dizzy. I was almost leaning on Dylan's shoulder, but before I knew it I heard him snarl, "Bernie, sit up straight!"I was stunned, suddenly being yelled at by Dylan, I felt so unjust. I huffed "yeah" for an hour and then was dragged into the conversation by Leonard again. Leonard stopped talking ab
Bernie's POVThe first thing I did when I got back to my room was to find the stomach ache pill. After taking the medicine, I breathed a sigh of relief. Hopefully, in the afternoon, the pain will not appear again. I looked at myself in the mirror, my face turned white because of the pain, and my lips were dry.I sighed full of frustration, finally climbed into bed, and closed my eyes to rest, in my head, there were trivial images. It's all Dylan. I saw Dylan when he was in high school when he was in college, then Dylan in the present. They are so mixed together that I can't tell them apart.In the first place, I should have chosen to go on a business trip with Katherine or Vivian. But now it's too late to regret it, I have no way to change this. I know my opinion of Dylan is slowly changing, which is not a positive sign. Dylan is a straight guy, I'm gay, but the most taboo gay thing is to fall in love with straight guys.I don't even think that Dylan will become bisexual because of me
Dylan's PovMy body was so tired. I just wanted to sleep for a long time, even though Bernie had said before that dinner was almost done. But right now, I can't even open my eyes.“I'm sure Bernie will call me upstairs after the cooking is over!” I mumbled, then nodded.Thinking that, I immediately lay down on the bed, my heavy eyelids drooped, and in a moment I fell asleep.“Dylan, wake up! I haven't eaten anything all day. After eating, can you sleep?" Bernie's gentle voice rang in my ears, he kept talking and it bothered me unbearably.On other normal days, Bernie will definitely not wake me up like that, he will hug me, then use a kiss to wake me up. I frowned unhappily, out of habit reaching out to wrap my arms around Bernie's neck. I opened my eyes dreamily. We were facing each other like that, and he yawned for an hour.“Bernie, I want to sleep another five minutes. Can you sleep with me?" I nuzzled his neck, groaning. "Ah, Bernie. What's wrong with you?"Not hearing Bernie's r
Bernie's POVI almost exploded. All Dylan cared about was the weird box in his bedroom. I glared at Dylan, but unfortunately, I love him so much that I won't be able to stay angry with him for long. What's more, this is Dylan's own secret. He doesn't want to share it with me yet.Reluctantly, I said, “Is that all you care about?”“Tell me quickly, is the inside of that box related to me?” I just casually asked, unexpectedly seeing Dylan's unusual expression. “Is the item inside really related to you?”This time, I was almost certain because Dylan immediately pushed my shoulder: "Don't talk nonsense! The things in there have nothing to do with you!"At this point, Dylan snorted: "And even if it's really about you, you're not allowed to open that box without my permission!"“Did you hear that, Bernie?”Dylan narrowed his eyes to warn me, this look of his was really serious. I couldn't help but kiss Dylan's forehead. Then assure him: "Don't worry, Dylan! I won't open it!"At this time, D
Dylan's POVEvery time I finish eating, I feel tired, and Bernie understands this more than I do. So, when John arrived, Bernie patted the back of my hand: "You go up there and wait a moment, I will tell John your condition first and then let him come up!"I didn't object, and quickly nodded in agreement, just before entering the room, I turned to look at Bernie a little. He smiled, waved his hand, and whispered: "Don't worry, I'll come to find you soon."Actually, I'm not worried either. I'm just afraid he'll overdo it, then tell John. In the end, the one who gets teased will be me, and John even joked with us once that Bernie always treated me like a fragile porcelain doll. I have no choice but to silently agree with John's words.I closed the door of the room, intending to rest for a while, but my eyes suddenly caught the box on the nightstand, and my heart skipped a beat. I don't know why that box is here, and Bernie didn't tell me why, either. Maybe when I ran back here, I found
Dylan's POVNot long after I reported to Bernie when I returned Chloe actively sent me my account number to receive money for coffee. I don't know who she was advised by, but obviously, this action made me equally pleased. Suddenly, it was time to leave work, and people in the office went home one after another.Before I left, I noticed that Chloe stared at me for a moment, then left with Scarlet. I breathed a sigh of relief, Chloe really made me feel too awkward. Fortunately, the rest of the office didn't join us in the puzzle.Knock knock.There was a knock on the door, and I woke up and turned my eyes to the sound. Bernie is standing at the door, frowning at me: "Why aren't you out of work yet?"Bernie's tone was the same as usual, I could hardly tell if he was blaming me or not. I pointed to the computer screen, saying, “I'm not done with work today. Doesn't the party start at half past eight?"After saying that, I looked at the time for a while. It was not yet six o'clock, so I c
Bernie's POVI looked at my watch, it was twenty minutes past the end of the day, but Dylan still hadn't come looking for me. From the day I found out I had a special crush on Dylan, I've always kept my emotions in check. I didn't want Dylan to find out about my feelings, or else we wouldn't have any connection.Fortunately, Dylan actively kept a distance between us, and I did not actively look for him. I can only take it as nothing and continue working with Dylan. But contact is inevitable between us, and the heart is the hardest thing to control.I couldn't help but pay more attention to Dylan. Even if there were unimportant things, I would find him. Like lately, even unrelated work I would give Dylan. I know others will say I'm too picky with newbies, but this is the only way I can think of to get in touch with Dylan.I cleared my desk for a bit, then went to the secretariat to find Dylan. As I thought, Dylan was busy processing documents, but the people in the office were gone.My
Bernie's POVBefore Dylan's terrified gaze, I studied each outfit, then pulled out a light gray suit and handed it to Dylan.“You should try this set!” I said thoughtfully, "They are all the right size for you. If you don't like them, you can try another set!"Dylan hastily shook his head, “I think this set is too good! Mr. White, you should change clothes, too. We have to go downstairs right now!"After saying that, Dylan quickly went to the bathroom and changed his clothes. I sighed to find another outfit with the same style as Dylan. This is something that I secretly did, of course, when Dylan found out we were already wearing couples' clothes for lovers. I excitedly changed, and when Dylan came out of the room, I faced him frankly.Unfortunately, Dylan didn't seem to notice. He picked up a watch and said, "Looks like we have lost ten minutes."Seeing Dylan's calm demeanor, I suddenly felt a bit disappointed. But very quickly, I was back to normal. Anyway, Dylan didn't think otherw
