CASSYI woke up around seven the following day, and Mama and Jenny weren't in bed anymore. Why didn't they wake me up? I pouted and quickly went inside the bathroom and took a bath. "Alex, why he didn't call me last night? He always called me every night, but why didn't he last night? I call him after I bathe. As I was heading down the stairs, I dialed Alex's number. I found everyone in the dining room eating breakfast." Good morning." I greeted. Alex's phone rang. I looked at Xander when his phone rang as well."Excuse me. I only take this." He said and hurriedly left the table. I settled on my seat, waiting for Alex to answer after thinking he wouldn't pick it up. I heard his voice on the other line."Good morning, Angel." "Good morning," I replied, smiling. I heard Adrian chuckle and Billy, Jack, Aries, and Sarah, but I ignored them."Y

CASSANDRA I bolted up from the bed when I noticed that the sun was already brightly shining in the sky, and I was alone. What time is it now? I grabbed my phone on the bedside table and gasped to see it was almost noon. "Why does no one wake me up?" I thought, running inside the bathroom to take a quick bath. I wore blue jeans, a striped black and white shirt, and a black Converse. Then, I brushed my still-wet hair and let it air dry before running out of my room and down the stairs. When I reached downstairs, I found no one. "Where are they? Did they leave me behind?" My heart deflated with the thought, but I shrieked in fright when someone poked my side. Jenny laughed when she saw my frightened face, which earned me a glare, but she only giggled. I frowned when I saw she was only wearing a swimsuit. "Finally, you're awake,

CASSANDRA"Why are you still standing there? Come, we don't have enough time." Sarah said. I walked to them, and Jenny quickly pushed me to sit. And they quickly did my hair and make-up, and after thirty minutes, they were done and now helping me with my dress. I put on my ankle boots and then looked at my reflection in the mirror, and my eyes widened. I looked different. They gave me smoky eyes and light makeup, but my lips were painted bloody red. And the dress hugged every curve of my body, showing enough cleavage. My hair was tied in a ponytail, showing my neck. I look mature in this kind of dress and make-up."So?" Jenny grinned."Not bad." "Yah! They both said, and I winced when they slapped my shoulder."You look stunning, hot, and sexy right now," Sarah said and glared at me."Okay, you two did great. Satisfied?" Sarah smirked. "I'm sure Mr. Kwon will drool on you," Sarah said, and they high-fived

CASSANDRAI woke up to feather-light kisses showering my face, and when I opened my eyes, Alex's smiling face hovered above me. "Good morning, Angel." He whispered, pressed his lips on my forehead, and tenderly caressed my cheek. Waking like this every morning is blissful. I won't mind being awakened this early as long as Alex's beautiful smile and tender kisses I will feel and see as soon as I open my eyes."Good morning," I replied, smiling. "What time is it now?" We were back from Jeju Island Yesterday. I still have a few days left in my semestral break."Still early for you to wake up, but I want you to join me for breakfast before I go to work. I hope you don't mind." He planted another kiss on my cheek. I just noticed he is already dressed up for work and fresh from a shower. No wonder he smells so pleasant while I am a mess.

CASSANDRA "It's not her fault," I muttered. "I'm so sorry, Angel. I forgot to inform her about you. I wondered why you hadn't come until now, that's why I called your phone, but Jack answered it and told me that you left your phone in the car and you had already arrived at the building an hour ago, that's why I rushed down as soon as I hung up the phone." "It's okay," I smiled. He pulled me into his embrace and kissed my forehead. "I bought a snack." I raised the paper bag I held in front of us, and he quickly took it from my hand and peck lips. "Thank you. I'm starving." He led me to his office when the elevator opened. "Why are you starving? You don't eat lunch?" I asked as I fixed the food on top of the center table. "I'm busy because I'm away for a week. I have many documents that need to be signed, and I don't have an appetite." He replied,
