"Hmm, it feels nice to have a good sleep. Since when have I slept like this?"Bea stretched her arms in the air with a smile formed on her lips. She got up from bed and opened the curtains to let the sunlight enter her room. She's even humming a song while going to the bathroom."You came out just right on time."Evan said while placing the plates on the table."Goodmorning!"Bea greeted as she took a seat and was in awe looking at the food he had prepared."Coffee?"He offered."Sure."It was just a simple sunny-side-up egg and hotdogs for breakfast but Bea feels as if today's food is more mouthwatering. She scoops a handful of fried rice onto her plate."Your coffee.""Thank you."Evan sat on the chair, across from her, and sip on his coffee. He watched Bea as she ate her food."About Anna,"He gazes intently at Bea and tries to read her reaction for a bit before continuing his sentence. As if he is crawling quietly and waiting what she would do before saying what he wants to."Hmm?
Evan slammed the door of his room as he did a facepalm. He's furious, badly wanting to punch someone in the face just to ease the feeling of unfamiliar pain in his heart because of what he witnessed. He walks back and forth around his room trying to focus himself. "God! Evan, you're crazy,"he says and lets himself fall on the bed. He places his right arm on his forehead and he closes his eyes."This isn't like you, Evan. When did you ever react this way?"Scenes of Bea and Simon kissing inside the car flash in his mind. The car's windscreen ain't tinted, causing him to witness everything.On the other hand, Bea couldn't stop pinching her pinky finger as she stared at Evan's room door. She didn't know how long she'd been standing there, waiting for him to come out. She is hesitant to knock since she had no idea what to say either if she faced him."Okay, Let's just knock, Bea."She took a deep breath, gathering all her strength within. She raised her hand and was about to knock when
"Why are you sleeping in your office again, Evan?"Her mom called him into his office to scold him again for being a workaholic."I have a lot of things to finish. Going home would be inconvenient, Mom."He reasoned out. But the truth is, he couldn't face Bea. He clearly remembers what happened that night. That kiss had been clouding his head endlessly, making him lose focus. He doesn't know what to say if they see each other. He had too many questions left unanswered and he's still trying to figure them out before facing her. You can call him a coward, but Evan won't deny that fact."Look at you. You're getting skinnier each day. That's the reason why I want you to get yourself a girlfriend."Evan pinched her nose bridge after hearing her mom nags. He has a lot of paperwork to do but here he is again, being scolded for the same matter over and over again."Mom, I thought we already talked about this?""Yes. You told me to give you more time, but it looks like you have no plan of get
"Hey! Give me your phone!"Anna boldly shouted at the guy. She was having a walk when she noticed this pervert taking shots of a girl's private part. Anna despises it the most."No way. Why would I give it to you? Who are you?""I saw you taking pictures of those girls, pervert!"She hissed but the guy only laughed at her. "Tsk. Just stay out of my business, Miss, if you don't want to be hurt."He warned but Anna didn't feel threatened at all. She grinned and did a knuckle cracking. "I guess it's time to let them see what I've got."She murmured. Anna was a black belt in taekwondo, so she was confident to face him. "I'm giving you one last chance to hand me the phone, or I'll kill you!""Huh, you're making me laugh, hahaha. With that petite body of yours, I doubt if you can even kill a mosquito with your bare hands."He mocked."Who's petite? You really want to try me huh!"Anna positioned herself. "You're interesting. Okay! Let's see who will die first."The guy was about to sla
"Sir, the materials you ordered were delivered on-site yesterday."Evan nodded his head whilst going through documents in his office. In front of him was his secretary, giving him updates on his ongoing projects."That's good then. What's my schedule for tomorrow?""You have a meeting at seven in the morning with the municipal mayor for the upcoming renovation of the town hall. Then ten am with the-"Evan lifted his head when someone barged into his office unannounced."Evan!"His mom shouted, looking furious. Evan sighed as he closed the folder and leaned his back on the chair."Shall I continue, Sir?"His secretary."Cancel all my appointments tomorrow. You can reschedule it for next week. I'm going to attend a party. You're dismissed.""Okay, Sir!"He waited for his secretary to exit his office before gazing back at his mother, who is now standing in front of him with her hands on her waist."Mom, it's working hours. What are you doing in my office? Don't you have something to do?"
Bea's past still affects her no matter how hard she tries to forget it. She still couldn't bear to be in the same room with them not because she was still in love with Austin, but rather because the guilt was still there. Yes, they already had talked about it before and had closure but Bea was trapped and had no courage to face them, not when she just started to hang out with Anna. She's trying to make new friends but her fear of condemnation hunts her. Anna seemed to know Lauren. They know each other, and that makes Bea run with fear in her heart. But deep within her soul, a small part of her wished and hoped that Lauren would at least keep it a secret from Anna. Or could it be that Anna knew already about it? Could it be the reason why in the first place, she's aloof to her?"Stop overthinking, Bea."She murmured to herself while walking absentmindedly on the street, holding the paper bag they bought a while ago. But her mind couldn't stop from having wild, negative, and worst scen
"I'll be in the study room if you need anything,"Evan said after finishing the meal she prepared for him. Bea nodded and smiled at him before entering her room. She took a bath first before laying down on her bed. Her day was physically exhausting. She was sitting on her bed when she noticed unfamiliar paper bags on the bedside table. She wasn't able to notice it when she first entered her room but she's sure that those weren't there when she left the condo with Anna.She reached for it and checked what was inside. In the biggest paper bag was a red dress. The next one contains a box. She opened it and saw silver stilettos with six-inches high heels. She noticed that it was her size. On the third paper bag were pieces of jewellery."Wow! It's so pretty."She exclaimed in amazement. Everything was elegant and to her taste. She went out of her room holding the dress and went to the room next to hers. She saw that the door was slightly open. She was guessing that Evan might have bough
"Happy birthday, Simon."Everyone Simon passes by greets him a happy birthday."Thank you."He would reply and then move again to the next table to check his visitors. He was only planning to invite his colleagues and some close friends but he ended up inviting almost everyone for an unknown reason. It's his day, so he'll definitely let everyone enjoy and rejoice with him. "Simon! How are you, dude? Long time no see."Mark, his cousin. He clearly remembers that he didn't send him an invitation so he wonders how he was able to come inside."Mark!"He approached him and did a fist bump. "I thought you're still in Singapore?"He asks. Mark is known as a trouble maker, so his parents send him to Singapore to reflect on the damages he's been giving his family. But it seems like Mark didn't learn anything at all. "I came straight here. How could I let your party pass, right?"Simon forced a smile as he tapped his shoulder and whispered."Don't even think of ruining my party."He reminds
