Lance came back to his house with a huge beam. He slumped down on his bed and rolled left and right while cursing. “Oh sh*t!” He hugged a soft pillow, bit it and punched it. It seemed he wouldn’t calm down not until he could knock out the innocent and non-breathing pillow. But after some minutes, he got tired moving around and he laid down straight while catching his breath and staring at the ceiling. In the nothingness, the accident kiss came into his mind again. “Argh!” Lance covered his blushing face, believing that it would help to ease the burning sensation spreading throughout his face and body. “Why am I squealing like a teenage girl?” he complained, whimpering like a puppy. “I am a man. A MAN.” Yes. A man who is in love. A smile appeared again as he put his hands down and stomped his feet. His jaws feel a bit hurt because they have been stretched for a long time. As if he cares. What important to him is that he enjoyed the date today. Slowly, Lance traced his red lip

Jane’s POV It was already afternoon when I was able to go home. From pretending as Lance’s date, fooling his mom and running away from Ingrid, it felt like an unending thrilling action movie. Lance did not send me home because we’re afraid that his mom would follow us. When I got off the bus, I walked back to my village. The sun slowly set, and the colors set from bright vibrant to pure darkness. It was beautiful, and for a moment my mind was interrupted. But it did not take long. When I looked down, the accidental kiss with my boss went back to my head. “Argh!” I ceased my pace and covered my burning face. Just thinking how awkward it will be to face my boss on Monday made me feel so embarrassed! As I pulled my hands down, I started to defend myself just like what I did multiple times ago after Lance and I separated. “That is not a kiss,” I murmured, nodding my head. “And our lips did not even bump into each other! It is a slight peck near my lips! AN ACCIDENT ISN’T A KISS!

Many have changed because the time has turned back.Instead of working in Monteverde, I found a good job in Lance’s flower shop. I didn’t have to experience the same abuse I received from the Monteverde couple. And I thought, we won’t see each other again.Yet, Arthur is here. In front of me.When my eyes went clear and I saw his face, I felt the tingling pain inside my chest. It was hard for me to breathe as I remembered all the things he did to me.I realized that even if I avoided the misfortune, there’s a chance I’ll meet people who I encountered in the future.That happened to Lance, and that same goes with Arthur.However, that does not mean that I will let him do the same thing. NEVER.“Miss? Are you ok…”I moved backward when Arthur tried to hold my arm.I will never feel okay being with him. And I really really wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.Gathering my strength, I stood up. I kept my head down, staring at the lemonade wasted on the ground.“I am really sorry

While Lance and Damiel were busy assisting the deliveries, Lance received a call. He stared at the caller’s name for a long time. It is from someone who gives him information about his other job, aside from working in the flower shop. Lance made it clear that he will only answer the call if it is important and if there is something worth reporting. Thinking that he had to answer this no matter what, Lance excused himself and went to the staff room to pick up the call. “What is it?” he asked the person from the other line. Lance listened quietly at the information he got from the other line. When the report ended, his eyes widened in surprise. “Okay. I got it,” Lance murmured before ending the call. Blinking swiftly, he gaped. He couldn’t believe what he just heard just now. “What? Eric beat an investor?” he murmured in dubiety. A moment later, he burst into an amusing laugh. “Eric punched someone? That cowards sh*t did?” This is the first time Lance heard that Eric had a fi

Everyone will agree that ever since Eric started to work in Geelq, he did all of his best to make the company grow. Although he cannot compete against Cyrus, he gave good service for many years. He did not act on things that will stain the company’s image; that includes having scandals, fights or questionable hobbies. Employees see him as the perfect boss, before, now and forever. But the image that he hardly built for long years is on the verge of getting ruined. The news about Eric beating the Geelq’s investor spread so fast like a contagious disease. He received bashful comments from different sides. Some worry that it might be Eric’s first and last offense as the new CEO of the company. Some believe that maybe he isn’t suited for his position and Cyrus should be the CEO. However, even after knowing what will happen, Eric even came to Jane’s neighborhood to see her. Perhaps he only wanted to hear praise from her and for Jane to say that he did the right thing. He really wanted
