Chapter NineErika's POV.He really looked so serious when he said that he was going to make me his in the end. I guess it would be so fun for me to torment him knowing fully well that I wasn't going to end up with him in the end."Why are you laughing? Is there anything funny in what I just said." He queried me while I let out a huge sigh. "It looked like you are really determined to do it, and that is so cool of you. Let's see when you will give up." I would never allow that to happen while I was still here. I lost my feelings for him, and there was no way that I would end up falling for him again. Furthermore, I did say anything for a while; our eyes bore into each other for a few seconds.I was the first person to break eye contact, just like we did in the past. "You are still bad at keeping eye contact." He laughed so hard at me, and then I laughed also, since we all want to be crazy. He then let go of my wrists while I went to drop the plate right in the kitchenI went back to
Chapter Ten.Charles's POV."Yes, yes, yes!" I squealed in excitement after the news that David just told me. I called Linda, who was outside the office, and she came to me in no time"I need you to do something for me." I told her immediately, and she walked into my office. "What is it?" She questioned me with a smile on her face. I bet she must have seen how happy I was. "I need you to bring me a desk to the office right opposite mine. The lady from Wilson's company will be transferred to ours in no time." I instructed her. "Is that all?" She questioned me while I looked around."Yeah, that's all. There is nothing to discuss anymore." I told her, and she then walked out of the room right away. I talked with David few weeks ago to ask if it was possible for him to talk with her so that I would keep on seeing her, but I didn't know that it was going to be that fast.Furthermore, I wondered what kind of technique that he used, he must be excellent. Did he even have to stress himself o
Chapter Eleven.*Few Days Later*Erika's POV.It had been great for me so far, and it was so funny seeing someone who was trying too hard to gain my attention when I didn't even give a fuck about him. He was willing to do anything for me, but he needed to realize that I don't care about him.There was something that would be happening next week. It was the company's anniversary, and everyone has been preparing for that day. It really looked like a huge day for the company.I was among those who will be planning, and we will also be introducing some of our projects to the people who were there. I knocked on the door leading to Tristan's office.Furthermore, I opened the door immediately, and he knocked. It was then that I saw his mother, who was sitting right there. I haven't seen her since what happened to me a few years ago.I bowed my head. "I think you are really busy." I wanted to walk out of the room, but I was interrupted by her voice."Where do you think you are going to? Do yo
Chapter Twelve.Andrew's POV."What do you think you are doing? Are you sure that out plan is to to work at the end? I am scared that it might not get to happen." Betty was there as she doubted our plan.I also laughed after what she said. I looked at the rainy street as I was staying at the balcony of my house. "We have come this far, you don't expect us to give up, do you? Do you actually know how hard it to to come this far?" I queried her, while I gulped down the whole content that was in the glass cup."I am just scared. We are close to the end of our plan. We have been planning this for the past few years, and it is coming to pass already. We should be done in the next few months." I assured her.I would make sure to take all what's mine, Charles. "Are you also getting closer to him?" I questioned her, while she let out a huge sigh."How do you want me to get closer to him when she keeps coming to my way. Anytime I am interested in doing something, she would always be the one t
Chapter Thirteen.Erika's POV."So you still want to go? Or do I go and meet Betty?" He questioned me while I looked around and took a huge sigh. "I will go." I told him, and I could see how he was happy right on his face. We then walked out of the company together. I could see a lot of people who were talking right behind us. I bet that they must be thinking that we were dating or somethingI knew that gossip like this was going to be common, but there was no reason for me to be bothered since it was not real. We got to where his car was, and he told his driver that he was going to drive. I have Ben expecting him to bring up the matter that happened last night, but since he didn't want to bring it up, I guess I would have to do it myself.He started driving to the location, and then we almost got there. I gave him the courage and decided to ask him."So, in short. You are trying to tell me that you didn't remember what happened between us last night?" I brought it up, and I could fe
Chapter Fourteen.Erika's POV.I was surprised to see Andrew, who was right in my front, with his car. "You look like you want to cry; you can actually do it right in my car." He told me, and then he opened the door. To be very honest, I was still wondering why he was here. Did he see me together with Charles? Why did it have to be here of all times? "You should come in. There are a lot of cars that would be lined up at my back." He urged me. I entered his car after hesitating for a while. "I came here to get something, so I was shocked to see your here. You can have this." He gave me the handkerchiefs that was right in his hand. "You can let out your tears. Your eyes looked swollen with tears." I collected the handkerchief that was in his hand and then bent my head while I wept right into my laps.I remembered how much he would gift me back then, and I would do the same. Furthermore, I wanted him to stop those acts at the same time, and at the same time, I didn't want him to stop
Chapter FifteenErika's POVIt has been five minutes, and I have been staring at the beauties in front of me. The clothes were so beautiful, and I loved every bit of it. I looked at the jewelry he bought for me, and I loved every bit of it as well.I placed them back appropriately in the box and went to sleep after that. Furthermore, I walked back into the room, and then I slept off after that.*THE NEXT DAY*I was in the office while I worked as usual, but not until I got a nail from the company's website. "Good day, ma'am. As a worker in our company who was employed their year, there would be a business vacation that would happen right before the company's anniversary. More details would be passed afterward." That was what the mail said, while I sighed deeply.I've actually heard about something like this before. It was like a welcome company for those who were employed within 12 months of joining the company. My case was something else; I became a partner, like I was employed.But
Chapter Sixteen*The Company's Vacation Day.Erika's POV.The bus came in no time. After we have waited for a few minutes with all our luggage outside the company in our hands. They helped us to place our luggage into the huge coastal bus. I s really going to miss my daughter.It was just for three days, and I should be able to do it. She was going to be with Raven, and she said that she was going to make sure to take good care of her also."Let me help you with yours." I heard Andrew's voice right behind my back as he helped me with the luggage into the bus, and then he led his hand to help me into the bus, and I grabbed it.He sat right beside Betty. It had been a long time since I had seen her. She smiled immediately when we both saw each other. "Why is the bus not moving?" A lot of people kept asking questions. What was happening?"We are not complete. We are still waiting for one person." One person announced, while I took in a deep sigh. Who could it be? I then saw. Vat parked r
