Wife of the Next CEO CHAPTER 28
"That's why you can't focus, Irene. Your mind is preoccupied, so I hope that even now you can free yourself from thinking deeply. In that way, you could go back to your previous form."Okay... Free my mind so that I could go back on track.I took a deep breath before starting again. I started making the pasta sauce again for the fourth time, praying that this time I wouldn't screw up.Even now, I tried not to think about yesterday's events. I put aside my fear of ruining my life forever when I signed the paper.I don't want to think about negative things right now, because our grade depends on the dish that Harold and I make.My hand was shaking as I started sprinkling the spices while mixing it, but luckily it didn't seem like I put too much or too little.When I tasted it, its sweetness and saltiness were just fine to my taste.Gosh, I made it.Harold and I set about plating, trying to make ours look clean and presentable.My nervousness increased even more when we finally put the d

"Could you please stop acting like a jealous boyfriend? It's irritating." I looked at him and tried my best to remain at my composure."Of course," I heard him 'tsked'."Sorry, my ex is possessive. We don't have a label, I shouldn't be jealous.Okay, I get it.""Even then I should have known where I should be and interfere in your life.This time, okay, I'll give you freedom." He added before turning his back at me.I did nothing but clench my fist in anger.Why am I angry? I also do not know. I'm just disgusted with Israel because of what he did today.I know we weren't okay the last time we saw each other, but is that enough for him to act like that?"I think you need to talk to him," and just like that, Harold caught my attention."I'm not telling you to go after him to talk to him and explain. If you're not ready to do that now, maybe some other day.""You know, Irene... You can't excuse me that you don't have to explain anything to him because you don't have a label.Whether ther

"Your clothes don't fit in your wardrobe anymore, are you going to ask me for more?""There's still space so---""I'm sorry but my answer is no," I passed him but before I got far I spoke again."My true friends gave me that. I won't let someone like you benefit."It felt really good to be able to answer Stacy like this while she was speechless and unable to move to report to her mother.I held them by the neck, thanks to my brain that just got smarter that day.I was outside the house, in the garden area to eat there. I'm used to not being at the table with Aunt Gretchen, I must have been relieved by the looks on both of their faces.At this moment, Tita can no longer order me around and mistreat me like before. It's natural, because he's afraid I'll bring out his stench.Thank you Thank youIn the middle of enjoying my day, my phone rang suddenly. I received a voice message from Israel, I'm still hesitant whether to play it or not."Maybe it's a grunt, ah?"As I built enough courage

"Just like Julia... Fear of commitment.""Then you, you're afraid of being under." Israel was teasing Yuwi there.I just laughed at them to pretend I was keeping up with the flow of their conversation... Even though I wasn't really.As I finished eating the foods I took, my attention was caught by the sudden flashing of a video on the projector."Before the first letter in DWEIYAH gets married, allow us to share to y'all their love story."Eli is now in the front, and he seems to be the mastermind behind the release of the video of the two's love story.While the others were busy watching the video, my attention was aroused by Magi and Dylan on the side of the mini stage. Magi's reaction was so priceless while reminiscing their love story.Utilizing the video that I've been watching, I also learned the beginning of their love story.Just like the most cliché love story we've known back then, they started hating each other. They've become an enemy of each other because of the incident

"Are Magi, Warren, Yuwi and Harris and I on the same side?" Israel's assurance."GG, tol.""Tamo, you are very old, huh?!""Calm down, Harris and Warren." Eli laughed and said."We are both unfamiliar with the game. It's a fair fight because we're all gropers, okay?”"And I think, Delancy picked unbiased." I inserted into the conversation."You can say that because you are sure to win."Alec looked at Harris. "We will play not for the prize but to enjoy, okay? Calm down.”"Let's get started," Dylan announced."To find out which one of us will be first, you pick stones one by one." And what he points to is Harris and Alec."USA," said Harris and they got ready to pick stones.USA means best of three, child's play it seems.After that Alec won, and Harris' group was chosen to go first. We will t-timer them, then when it's our turn they will t-timer us.Standing at the front part is none other than Yuwi, he's the one passing the word on his teammates who now have headphones attached to t

"And I think, we all have the capacity to overthink sometimes, but some of us have a habit of doing that.Honestly, I used to be like that. It's because I'm surrounded with a bunch of problems way back, so the only thing I did at that time was to overthink.It's not really helpful sometimes, we overthink too much. But I do believe that a problematic person escapes from it by overthinking.”"I'm not telling you to keep doing that, huh?" She quipped, giving my hand a pinch."It is completely fine to overthink sometimes but please, don't make it your everyday hobby.Learn from my experience, Irene. There were some nights when I couldn't sleep well because of overthinking.I almost got depressed but thankfully, Dylan helped me to stop from overthinking.""And I do believe Israel will do the same."Her trust with Israel was too invaluable. The amount of trust he has here, unlike on my side.During the times I met Israel, I still doubted him. I still don't have one hundred percent trust in

I have left the house for good, at least I hope to reduce my anger.I'll admit it, I accept that I'm defeated this time. When is it not? But if I don't sign it, he definitely won't stop me.Papa himself told me to sign it... so I signed it for him."Whose car did you steal?"As soon as I went outside the gate, I saw Israel leaning on the side of the white car, waiting in formation for my exit."Eli lent it to me," he said before opening the door of the passenger's seat.I went inside while waiting for him to enter."I told him that you agreed to go on a date with me. He told me to use his car so that it would not be a hassle for us to get a massage on our first date."I was amazed not because Israel was using Eli's car to pick me up at home just so our first date won't fail.I'm amazed by how supportive Eli was for Israel. He's such a good epitome of a true friend that others failed to have.Aside from that, I think he's that supportive of Israel because, maybe, it's Israel's first ti

"I'm not forcing you to believe me---"He stopped the car which really surprised me. But my surprise doubled when he pulled my body closer to him, giving me a tight and warm hug.I'm not expecting him to do this, nor I'm not prepared for him to do this. I can't stop my heart from beating fast."I'm just happy," he broke away from hugging me, making sure to accompany it with a shy laugh.He was the first to get out of the car to open the door for me, and to my surprise, we are at a food court near the supermall in our city."What are we going to do here?""Are not you hungry?"I frowned. "You're saying what?"Instead of answering my question, he just pulled me to enter the food court to make sure we buy something to eat.Only street foods can be seen and there are also round tables here. There are a lot of people here now, but thankfully, there are still a few tables available.Both of our trays were filled with a variety of street foods like fish balls, fries, siomai, burgers, kikiam,
