Their clothes lay scattered on the floor, and some of Gibson's furniture had been moved from its original place.The sun began to rise slowly, with the melodious chirping of birds waking someone from their slumber. The sweet sound of the birds seemed quite nearby. The balcony door, left ajar, allowed the lively chirping to resonate clearly.The balcony floor appeared wet due to the rain that had fallen overnight.

Fortunately, Gibson's reflexes kicked in, and he grabbed her hand, bringing them closer.Calista widened her eyes as their faces got so close. She could even feel Gibson's breath on her face. Calista's heart was racing too fast. Her eyes kept staring into Gibson's, and she couldn't control her feelings, which were now fixated on Gibson's lips.Lips that were so sensual and captivating. They made Calista blush and feel a warmth throughout her body. So much so that Calista leaned in, and their lips were just inches away from each other."Are you okay?" Gibson asked, snapping Calista out of her trance."What? Uh, I'm fine," Calista replied nervously and pulled away from Gibson. She quickly continued walking downstairs.Calista felt extremely embarrassed by her inab

Gibson asked as they sat in the car.Calista furrowed her brow, turning to Gibson, who was currently focused on driving. "What do you mean?" Calista replied.Gibson fell silent for a moment; this conversation was heading into sensitive territory, so he tried to find the right words to convey to Calista."Well, it's just..."Calista furrowed her brow again, realizing that Gibson had stopped speaking, as if what he was about to say was incredibly difficult."Just say it, Gibson, what's wrong?" It feels like Calista can't stand seeing Gibson like this, especially with his current demeanor."Calista, your walk looks different today," Gibson began. He paused, and it immediately made Calista understand."Yes, I know what you're thinking, Gibson, but I still h

Gibson, still inside the restaurant, gazed at a woman who was none other than Almeta. She seemed to be contemplating the offer presented by Gibson."Alright, Gibson, I accept your offer."Gibson promptly extended his hand, attempting to shake hands with the woman before him."Pleased to work with you, Almeta. I'm sure you can do it in less than a week," Gibson praised Almeta."Thank you for your trust, Gibson. I'll do it as you promised."Gibson nodded and withdrew his hand after the handshake."Alright, I have to go now."After saying that, Gibson got up from his seat and walked out of the restaurant until his steps halted upon hearing a call from someone."Hey, Gibson."Gibson turned and was surprised to see who was standing before him."Richard?"The man named Richard smiled, stepped closer, and now stood right in front of Gibson."How have you been?"Gibson furrowed his brow, not understanding why Richard was being so casual, as if he had something planned for Gibson."What's up?"

Several tubes were now attached to Gibson's body, while he remained unconscious.Calista sighed, feeling a tightness in her chest as she looked at Gibson lying on the hospital bed.

Calista, who was filled with worry, rushed over to Gibson as he was about to wake up from his sleep. She was extremely anxious upon hearing that Gibson had been hospitalized and had to receive several stitches in his abdomen."What are you feeling right now? I'll call the doctor," Calista said, turning to leave the room.But Gibson quickly caught Calista's hand, stopping her in her tracks."No need, the nurse was here earlier when I woke up. She checked on me. I just shouldn't move too much," Gibson said, wincing in pain from the stitches on his abdomen. Perhaps the effects of the anesthesia had worn off."Really? What happened exactly? How did you get injured like this?" Calista asked, choosing to sit in a chair beside the bed.Their hands remained intertwined. Calista wore an expression of genuine concern, her forehead furrowing and her face devoid of its usual smile."I'm sorry," Gibson replied, not answering Calista's question, feeling guilty for causing her such distress."Why ap
