Is this really how he treats his new employee? Or maybe he's just like me? I mean, I'm special to Israel to give me coffee.My eyes even passed the sticky notes on the cup... 'Good morning, gorgeous!'Well, why is that? It's like a butterfly flutters in my stomach right now. If I'm not mistaken, when a person's stomach feels like butterflies are flying like this, it means they're excited, right?Who wouldn't be thrilled if you were called 'gorgeous', right? Do I feel special or am I really special for Israel? Does this mean he remembers me?"Thank you for this, Sir Israel! You are really thoughtful as always!"I lost my attention on the sticky notes I was staring at when I heard what Cindy said. I gradually glanced at her; she's also holding the same cup of coffee that I received from Israel. Harvey and Jenny are the same."Cindy, can you look at that?" I approached Cindy to look at the cup of coffee she was holding."Sure."When I looked at the sticky note attached there, the same th

"Are you, Corrine... on drugs?""I'm serious, Dylan. Even I can't believe that Israel is alive. Who would it be? He's been gone for so long and he's made us believe he's dead for so long, then just like that, he's alive all along?""How did you know?" asked Magi. "And sure, does Eli already know about that?""It so happened that he will be my boss for my temporary job." As I finished answering her first question, I looked down. "And not yet. Eli still has no idea about Israel.""How long are you going to keep this from him?"I looked at Dylan, I don't know if it's just me but I noticed a trace in the tone of his voice as if he didn't agree that I hadn't informed Eli about Israel yet.I still have no courage to bring this up to him, and knowing Eli for quite too long, I'm fully aware of the fact that the moment I tell him the truth, his performance for his upcoming concert has a hundred percent probability to be affected."Make a wise decision, Corrine. Don't wait for the time that he'

"Israel, are you alive?" In disbelief, Eli approaches the confused Israel, and he's inspecting Israel's body.I, on the other hand, was powerless to stop Eli. I'm still shocked that he saw me with Israel."Excuse me." Israel moved away a little. "Do I know you?""Are you kidding me? How come you don't recognize me-""I mean, I know you, Eli. Actually, both Corrine and I are fans of you. But what I'm curious about is that... How did you know me? Have we met before? At a fan meeting? At your concert?""You must be kidding me, bro.""Huh-""Maybe he's just confused. Just ignore it, we'll go first." I intervened in the conversation between the two of them before I looked at Eli. "Let's go.""I'm still talking to him-""Bye!" I said goodbye to Israel, I made sure to pull Eli out of there.He was still struggling to get away from me but I didn't let him. When we both got into his car, silence enveloped us for a moment."Could you please explain everything to me?"I let out a heavy sigh befo

"Insane! Stop flirting with me while driving!" I immediately moved away from him, crossing my arms around my chest. "You're scaring me to death.""I don't run fast," joshed Eli as he reaches for my hand to hold. "I'm sure our kiss is just too fast, it's so addictive-"I didn't let him finish his words as I beat his arm softly. Given that he's just joking, it irritates me. But maybe, it's okay that both of us are fine. Our bonding is back, and I can hit him again like before.I assumed that we're back to being a sweet couple, hoping that we'll never argue over Israel again.*****"Okay, I'm going to sleep. I'm just going to finish this milk I'm drinking.""Hurry up, huh? Get over me right now," Eli said laughing, at the same time he kissed me on my forehead.He's staying at my condo just for tonight. He said he was too lazy to go home to their house and pick up if he could just stay here at my condo for the night. It's not a big deal on my part since he's been spending his nights here

I immediately pushed Israel away from me. My palms were shaking as I hid it behind my back. I don't even know why I'm quivering like this. Maybe it's because of the coffee that Julia gave me earlier. Damn!"Have you not been instructed to act as a professional towards your workmates?" As I came back to my composure, I asked him straightforwardly. "I guess you don't know that office romance is prohibited in the workplace. That's what's written on the contract I signed."For a second, he grinned. "Are you sure what we're doing is called office romance? Or are you just assuming things like that?"My jaw literally dropped. His face is thick enough to make me look like I'm still assuming it? After what he did to seduce me, especially the last thing he said earlier! Isn't that office romance?!"Forget the thing I said earlier. I'm just joking around."I didn't waste my saliva to reply, instead I walked outside of his office. I went out first and looked for a place where I could breathe fres

"Haven't you missed me, my lovely sister?" he said teasingly, I must have sneered. "The last time I saw you, you were still bitten and didn't know where to pick you up after we kicked you out.""It benefited me, actually." Now I'm the one grinning at him. "On that specific day that both of you and your mother abandoned me, I started to learn to stand up with my own feet. Finally, I was no longer in that house, with you and your mother. mine to fulfill my dream because you yourself gave me the freedom to fulfill it."I slightly approached him. I glanced at her from head to toe. "Now look at me, Stacy. Can you measure how much I improved from before? Or could you perhaps reach my level?""What do I care if you're a famous actress now, Irene? When it comes to me, you're still a loser. If ever the news didn't reach you, I would like to inform you that I am Jestar's new brand ambassador."He really digged you about that, what? This Stacy really knows me, eh. He knows what my weakness is...

"What happened?" I immediately approached Eli and spanked his whole body. His right foot had a bandage, which only increased my concern for him."I'm fine." He placed his hands on my shoulders, forcing me to face him. "During my practice earlier, I accidentally dropped my foot and then the ankle twisted. The doctor said, I had an ankle sprain. The doctor recommended that I rest my foot within one to three weeks...""But, Eli... Your concert is only four days away. How could you perform having your right foot injured?""Corrine, Eli can't force himself to dance despite his current condition," I heard Dylan explain."What should we do now?" I looked at Eli, smiling unsound. "You've waited for this moment for too long, haven't you? I know how important this thing is to you, that's why you prepared for it for so long, e. And now I'm upset seeing you in this situation. If I ever knew how to dance, I would have been able to catch you so that somehow, your concert could go on." Now I can't c

"What? You want to audition? For... what?""Are you floating?" he said laughing which makes me wonder if I throw a joke? "All I want to say is that you go to an audition to find a replacement for Eli. He's a popular artist and many people support him so, once the management calls for auditions, there will definitely be many who apply.""Nice idea," I answered nodding, understanding Julia's meaning.Actually, it's a good idea that Julia thought of. Instead of digging through social media to find a replacement for Eli, why not if we just hold an audition? That's easier than what I do, actually."Maybe you can bother Dylan and Warren to help you choose an auditionee to replace Eli, as those two already have a history in dancing. They can help Eli in de- decide," Julia asserted as if she's very sincere in persuading me."Okay, I'll let Eli know about this first," I answered with a smile, at the same time I said goodbye to Julia because Theo had come to pick me up.While I was sitting in t
