We really did sleep. Nothing strange happened except for my rude move of touching Cedric's chest. After that, I don't know who started it, we dozed off, probably because we were tired and sleepy. Great. And now, I have no idea what time it is. I can't hear any alarms. It is the weekend, yes, but I rarely sleep in.But before we slept, we talked about the issues in front of us. I don't know why, but in this close condition, I feel Cedric is much more caring and understanding than he usually acts. Which, on a daily basis, I admit, makes me nervous, but how about now?"Talking about this, I'm really happy," he said.I furrowed my brows but stopped because Cedric touched my forehead and caressed it."We'll get married, Joice. Soon.""Are you proposing to me in my own bed, Cedric?"He laughed. "Am I that bad?"There's nothing I can do but nod in agreement with what he said."Just wait, okay?""What do I have to wait for?"He just smiled. Annoying, isn't he?"What kind of wedding do you wan

This is like courting death! But what can I do? The guy who is now leisurely enjoying his meal won't give me a break for even a moment. My phone has been ringing, I don't know how many times, which made me finally give in and answer it. I was under the threat of a sarcastic look from Naomi and Dona."Just turn it off! It's so annoying!" Dona grumbled.If only that were possible, I would have done it since his name appeared on my phone's screen. I'm not that heartless to keep ignoring him. Besides, I excused myself earlier to take a shower. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what Henry might say.That's what made me finally agree to his invitation. Tonight's dinner, Henry finally made it happen. Although my two friends didn't approve, I promised I wouldn't stay out late, and, well, I let them follow me."We don't believe that pregnant women always act sensibly. Who knows, you might run off to a hotel and have an affair with an ex."I did end up telling them

"Anya, what's wrong with you?" Dona asked as we were having lunch at the office. Since morning, I chose to remain silent. I had no appetite for breakfast or even milk. My enthusiasm for work was all over the place.This morning, Naomi picked me up, using my car, of course. They both conspired against me, so it was their duty to pick me up today. Naomi was being chatty and asking about Cedric's whereabouts since I let him in. I just had a sandwich for breakfast because I hadn't showered yet. I even felt like taking a day off, but I remembered there was a report that needed a little more work and should be finished before Monday.Krystal wants the report by next Monday, so I have enough time to finish it if I submit it before that. Plus, there's just one more month until the thorough inspection. Before giving it to my beautiful boss, I will double-check it.Along the way, Naomi didn't stop asking, which made me even more restless. Finally, Dona gave her a warning

I once teased Dona mercilessly for being so sensitive as a guy, even though she's not really what you would call traditionally masculine. She's quite sensitive and perceptive to changes in mood. The downside is that she can burst into tears like a flood if her sensitive heart is touched. At that time, her boyfriend was sulking because we worked overtime too much during the weekend. I remember a whole month filled with crowded and directionless activities just because we were going to have a massive gathering.The entire staff was in a frenzy and overwhelmed. We had interdivision performances that required us to spend extra time after office hours. It was fun, I can't deny that. Also, during that time, Krystal was eagerly waiting for the quarterly reports. So everyone in the office was in a rush.Time that was supposed to be used for dating or just relaxing wasn't really available until the event was over. And Dona's boyfriend at that time was really upset. He didn't wa

I thought Henry's presence would be limited to lunchtime. I didn't want any more interruptions. Ever since he appeared at the office, I hardly paid any attention to him. This time was no different. There was no compelling reason for me to let him get close to me again. What's the point? To me, it seemed that if I could turn back time, I wouldn't have agreed to Henry's invitation that left me frustrated due to the lack of news from Cedric.It was a foolish and stupid mistake that I made out of unease. Despite ignoring his numerous messages and calls, he always managed to evoke sympathy from me again—yes, I said it's because I was uneasy. But it all ended in misery. It's truly exasperating.Why didn't I take Henry's presence, who was a part of my past, too seriously? I was too busy with my own affairs. I was troubled by my negative thoughts, which Naomi said had significantly decreased. Also, the assumptions about my boss's behavior, which Dona said I should be gra
