I can't help but throw a gaze at Leigh and to that man outside of this house when they are getting closer and closer while they are talking to each other. I'm not sure what they're discussing right now, but it appears to be serious. I'm now sitting in a bamboo chair inside the house. I also couldn’t look at the whole house because I don’t want to take my eyes off Leigh and to that man. As I already stated, their talk appeared serious since I could see the man's expression while Leigh turned her back on me, obscuring her face so I couldn't see her expression.
"Here son, get some juice first." I was a little surprised when the old man suddenly appeared in front of me. It was only then that I lost sight of Leigh and then immediately turned my attention to the old man.As he brought me the glass of orange juice, I just replied, "Thank you."I accepted it and then simply placed the glass on the small table in front of me... after all, I wasn't thirsty.I wI was driving quietly while Leigh was just staring out the window of my car. It's almost 11 AM and it's getting closer to 12 noon. We are currently on our way to Quezon City and according to my calculations, we will arrive at exactly 1 PM. I don't know if I should be the first to break the silence between the two of us but I eventually decided to speak."Are you hungry? I can pull over if you are," I responded flatly, my gaze fixed on the road; a few moments later, I felt her move a little from where she was sitting where I was sure that she was looking at me right now.“Uhmm. J-just a little," she replied hesitantly."Okay" I calmly said, "I'll just pull over later when I see a restaurant." She remained silent.It didn't take long for us to pass a restaurant so like what I have stated, I stopped the car for us to eat inside. I was about to take off my seat belt when my phone rang.I saw that Leigh was also stunned when my phon
We arrived at my house at exactly 1:30 PM. It's a bit of traffic when we entered Manila that's why we arrived late rather than I expected. We were still in my car as I parked in the garage when I noticed her looking out the window. It's like… she's having a star gazing at the moment.I stopped my car and I'm the first one to unbuckle my seat belt. I saw out of the corner of my eyes that she immediately followed by removing her seat belt and then I went out. "Follow me," I stated flatly and then I just passed her and walked straight into my house. I felt that she followed behind me so I don’t bother to look back until we finally entered. When I'm about to speak, I can't help but feel stunned when I saw someone sitting in my living area and eating a snack. He also became aware of my presence so he automatically stopped eating the food he was holding and then his eyes widened. I can't help but frown at him. It's Alexander Fraz, one of my friends who own Fra
I just sat down in myoffice and grabbed the white folder. I began reading the articles because they were related to the case I was currently working on when my phone rang. I quickly reached for my phone that was just sitting on my table and then looked at the caller ID. I can't help but frown a little when I saw Zeid's name on the screen. He's Zeidhon Callycx Imperial, one of my closest friends… we have the same attitude and principles in life that's why among our other friends, we get along together. Oh, I forgot… Caerus too.I didn't give any thought to why he called me today and just simply answered his phone call.“Hello. What do you need? ” I inquired quickly, my gaze still fixed on the item I was holding.[I don't need anything in particular…] he replied in a disgusting tone when he spoke. [They just use me and my number to call you… because they know that when I call you, you
LEIGH’s POV I knew that my mind was already awake but I still kept closing my eyes… I don’t know how many minutes or how long I had been lying here and still hadn't gotten up. I wish it was all a dream... I wish it was just a dream that I was here at Wayne's house, but it appears that I'm just kidding myself since I can still feel the softness of the bed I'm resting on now, and it's soothing. I don't have a bed like this in my house because it's just a simple pallet, therefore it's confirmed: I'm at Wayne's house right now.I secretly took a deep breath and then then gently opened my eyes. This enormous room's magnificent and expensive-looking ceiling greeted me right away.I couldn't help but think, 'I'm not dreaming,'and then I shifted my sight to the window, where I saw the beautiful and thick curtain blocking the light from the sun outside.This isn't something I'm used to. I'm used t
I'm sitting here on the couch in Wayne's living room right now. It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon. I haven't done anything in this house all day because Manang Susan won't allow me to help her with domestic dutiesbecause she was treating me like a visitor.From where I was seated, I couldn't help but sigh. It's not like I'm used to doing nothing.That's why, when the boredom hits me so hard,I’m planning to find a job in the following few day.Anyways, when Manang and I had lunch earlier together, I decided to organize my belongings and clothes in my room. There's a cabinet inside of my room so that's where I put my clothes, and to be honest… I just finished everything, so now I'm just simply resting here in the living room.While relaxing, I took another look around the place and took careful note in details of everything. I'm now facing his massive flat-screen TV, and I can feel the softnes
I made a series but weak knocks on the closed door of Wayne's room, , intending to take the snacks prepared by Manang Susan."Come in," Wayne said faintly from inside, and that was all I needed to hear to grab the doorknob and unlock it. When I opened the door, Wayne was the one who immediately welcomed my eyes, sitting in a swiveling chair in front of his desk with the woman perched on his thigh and then I also notice that her both hands were wrapped around to his neck.I was taken aback by what I witnessed at first, especially since Wayne and the woman appeared unfazed by my presence. But, after attempting to recover from my shock, I decided to go inside. "Here are your snacks," whispered softly as I placed the tray I had brought into Wayne's room's little living area.At that very moment, I felt like eyes were looking at me, it was either Wayne or that arrogant and haughty woman, but I tried to restrain myself from not paying
WAYNE’s POVI offered Veronica a seat on one of my couches inside my room, but she's in the mood to be mischievous right now, so instead of relaxing on one of my couches... she took a seat on my lap. I didn't have a strong reaction to that because we had known each other for a long time.She's like a younger sister to me , and she also treats me as if I were her older brother, despite the fact that she is an only child. She's 5 years younger than me, by the way.“What now? Are you and Uncle Luis fighting again?” I inquired. Fortunately, she was light-weighted in some way, so when she sat on my lap with her two hands still wrapped around my neck, I didn't react much.“Nope. She replied, "Dad sent me over to tell you about the charity ball."Because of what she said, I instinctively touched the bridge of my brow. It was almost as if I had forgotten about the charity. "Oh, please don't
LEIGH’s POV I couldn't stop myself from walking back and forth in front of my locked bedroom door. Because of the nervousness I'm experiencing right now, I instinctively bite the nails of my thumb. This is one of my bad mannerisms.Despite the fact that I didn't get much sleep last night, I aim to wake up early today to speak with Wayne. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to do that later because he gets up early to go to work.After almost a second, I immediately stopped walking and pressed my ear against my bedroom door to listen to him outside.I still mustered up the courage to face him and to say what I wanted to say to him because I knew in myself that I had no right to oppose him.When I heard nothing from outside, I immediately throw a gazed at the wall clock in this room to check what time it was. It's almost six o'clock in the morning.In these instances, I
