“Huh? What makes you ask me such a question? Are you accusing me of something or what?” Aidan asked scornfully as he frowned at her. “No sir, don't get me wrong. The thing is I was so confused to see you hugging me as if I'm your little child or something while asleep.” Kate said nervously. Although that wasn't what she wanted to say, she just managed to say that.“Tell me you're kidding Kate. Because I don't think that's what you want to ask.” Aidan could tell from her appearance that Kate was talking about a different thing, not what her mind was telling her.He wasn't ready to let her think he slept with her because that was what Kate was thinking and he already knew about it.“I'm sorry for asking sir. But looking at things I can't tell if maybe I did something wrong last night that's why it ended up like that. So that's why I want to ask and know what happened the previous night.” she explained. Aidan glared at her and then after a few minutes he sat and relaxed on the chair wit
After greeting and welcoming Aidan as usual, Charlotte gestured toward Kate with a wide smile on her face.“Hey, good morning my wonderful friend.” Charlotte greeted Kate and they hugged each other after Aidan had taken a step inside the large reception hall.His bodyguards who were dressed in dark suits and black eyeglasses followed him. One was with Aidan's briefcase, while the other hands were tucked behind him.They were escorting Aidan to his office.The other guards were in the parking garage in the cars as they waited for Aidan to close from the office before taking him home. Or maybe he wants to go out somewhere.“Good morning, Charlotte. How was your night?” Kate responded after letting go of Charlotte.“My night was spectacular. How was yours?” They spoke as they walked into the company and to the elevator.“Well, my previous night was just crazy. It was the craziest night I have ever experienced in my whole life." “Wow!” Charlotte gasped happily before pressing a button at
Later in the evening when the sun was yet to go down, all workers were done with their work for that day and it was time to go home.Upon stepping out of the company and heading to the cars, Kate said, “Sir, I want to beg you for something, please.” Aidan stopped and asked her “What's it this time around, Kate?” He lowered his gaze to her.“Forgive me that I haven't told you, but I and Charlotte are friends now.” Kate happily, yet nervously explained to Aidan.He chuckled and said to her, “ That's great. So what do you want, exactly? Or is that what you wanted to tell me that's why you stop me from moving?” there was a lopsided grin on his face as he gazed at Kate.“No, sir. I want to ask for your permission if you don't mind.” Kate began.“ Charlotte promised to take me shopping and I want to go with her. So, I find it best to inform you before I can go with her.” she explained to him. Aidan frowned upon hearing that. He doesn't want Kate to go anywhere without him. Nonetheless, he w
Kate hastily buttoned up her shirt and walked up to the bed to meet Aidan. Her heart was extremely pounding against her chest.“Shh…” Aidan placed his index finger against his list to silence Kate from making any noise.He gently climbed down the bed and tiptoe to the door. As he was about to reach the door, a low voice echoed from outside.“Kate, it's me Felix.” the stranger outside said after waiting for what seemed like ages for the people inside the room to open the door. Immediately he said that Kate quickly ran towards the door, but suddenly stopped in her tracks. “Don't be in a haste to open the door, Kate. This might be a trap,” said Aidan to Kate in a whispering voice.Even though the voice sounded like Felix's, Aidan was not too convinced about it because Liam can do anything just to get them.“If the person claims to be Felix, why didn't he come when my bodyguards were here until now? Always think about a situation before you jump to conclusion, Kate.” he quarreled with he
“Huh? Me? I can never employ Felix in any of my companies. I don't trust him, neither will I ever trust him. I can assist him if he wants to start a new business or if he has something to do with his hands. But if I'm to employ him in my company, I can't do that, Kate.” Aidan shared.The more he says these things, the more Kate and Felix get hurt. His words were piercing their hearts like an arrow. They almost label Aidan as someone who doesn't have a conscience. If he does, then why was he saying such things?This was what they made him feel when he was chased away from their house. Aidan wasn't saying this because he wanted revenge. He was saying nothing, but the truth.The thing is, Kate and Felix refused to accept this fact even though it was true. Aidan wasn't going to let them occupy his life and ruin him.No one knows what they may plan against him in the future.What feared Aidan the most was the curse that was laid on Kate and Felix's mom which was affecting them.No one know
Despite how hurtful Kate felt the previous night, she still woke up as usual and prepared tea for her boss.When she was done preparing, she woke Aidan from sleep.“Hey, good morning.” Aidan greeted and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and blinked repeatedly before stopping.“Good morning, sir,” Kate greeted with a smiling face as if nothing happened the previous night.Indeed, she slept and forgot everything.Upon seeing her smiling face, Aidan was pondering if there was something special about that morning that was making Kate smile hard.Aidan sat up on the bed and intensively stared at Kate with a questionable gaze. He needed an explanation about this.Maybe she was thinking he had an affair with her the previous night. No doubt that she woke up in Aidan's arms again.When Kate noticed how confused Aidan was, she chuckled.“You are wondering what's making me smile, right?” she asked him and sat at the edge of the bed with her back against his gaze.“Yes,” Aidan's low voic
Now, Felix was walking on the expressway, thinking about how miserable his life was at the moment.He has nowhere to sleep, yet he refuses to return to his hometown. Felix was sleeping under a bridge by the riverside. Despite how he got sucked by mosquitoes and how cold the place was, he never bothered.Well, it was his choice to sleep there. No one forced him. Nonetheless, the curse laid on their Mom concerning her children had caged him.Felix was pondering about the hurtful words Aidan used on him last night. The words kept displaying themselves in Felix's mind. It makes him hate himself the most.However, whenever he brings out Aidan's silver wristwatch from his pocket, he always smiles uncontrollably because he knows that the watch is worth millions.At least, he was going to sell it and use the money to feed himself in the meantime before he gets a roof to hide his head against the predators of the night.This wr
“I can't tell what's wrong with these twenty-first-century young men.” Charlotte shared as she sat on her office seat with her legs crossed.“You seem to be bothered about something. What's wrong about the present generation?” Kate curiously asked as she lowered her eyes at Charlotte.Charlotte sighed and dropped her leg before resting her elbows on the office table.“I met a young handsome man on my way to the office this morning. He was looking depressed and lost. It was as if he lost a family member or something…”“Ohh,” Kate mouthed and placed one of her palms on her cheek and rested her elbow on the office table before her. “ So how about him?”“Well,” Charlotte sighed,“ he always got hit by my driver when he mistakenly bumped into the road without noticing it. I mean, how can a normal person do that? I don't know why they worry too much about their problems rather than seeking solutions.” she grieved.It was written all over Charlotte's face that she was still sad about what hap
