“Hair massage. I’m stressed.” sagot nyaContent is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“I don’t want to-”
“Just do it. Don’t be artistic.”
He heard her murmured incoherent words at him but do it anyway. He released a soft sigh before drifting slowly to sleep.
He doesn’t know what magic Celestine has that he always finds peace.
He sat comfortably in his usual seat here at the fast food chain where he regularly eats. He was with Ericka who was very fond of eating chicken with gravy. Van, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes at her.
“It’s good you’re still alive.” Van’s sarcastic promise
Ericka looked up at the two of them.
“Huh? What happened?” question it immediately
He scratched his head as Van’s eyes deepened on him.
“Your friend. It’s causing trouble again!”
Ericka turned to him with a frown.
“What did you do again huh?”
He would have said in front that he was Van who was starting to eat. Ericka’s eyes almost widened at what she heard.
“Are you crazy ?! Haven’t I warned you not to mess up or even get close to that man. What if your parents found out?” its sermon
“I know it’s wrong but it’s already there. The important thing is I found a way.” her defense
He took the coke and sipped it. The eyes of the two were narrowed at what he said. They’re doubting what way she made.
“What way?” Van asked
“I made a deal and he agreed so everything is okay. Don’t worry.” he assured
But Van and Ericka were still doubting so they didn’t ask him a question. Celestine has no choice but to answer the two.
And the jaws of the two almost dropped when he answered. Ericka bit her lip.
“That’s crazy Celestine! Out of all the things you can offer. That’s it ?!” Ericka exclaimed
“Eh, because …” he scratched his head. “I couldn’t think of anything during those times. Don’t fight me anymore!”
“My gosh Celestine! Your curiousity is really taking you everywhere!”
He frowned. She knows that she really has a headache and sometimes, it seems like I don’t have the brain to act but when it comes to her curiousity. He could not control himself. Every question must have an answer for her.
“Don’t stress that. It already happened. Let’s just thank that he didn’t hit back on your parent’s business. We all knew him. He’s ruthless. You’re lucky to be in that situation after you teach him.” Van shuddered
“I know.” his weak promise
Everyone consider Alexendris as short-tempered, ruthless and insensitive but to her. He is not like that. Celestine can see through him and she only notices one. Lack of care.
She’s not mocking him or something. He is literally saying that because he has encountered such a person several times. Alexendris must’ve experienced horrific things when he was young so that’s how the young man acted.
“Be careful around him. That man is known for his ugliness.” Ericka’s reminder
He just laughed at that. Alexendris’s always frowning face came back to his mind every time he ran out of patience. She always pisses off Alexendris but he never hits her. That’s also one of the reasons why he knows deep inside that ampalayang is good.
“I can handle that asshole, trust me.” he said with a laugh
Ericka just frowned at her, as well Van. He was finishing his meal when his cellphone rang. She checked it out.
“I need to go.” he was in a hurry to say goodbye
“Where are you going?” Van asked.
He could no longer answer Van’s question. He picked up the bag and hurried away. Fortunately, he had a taxi parked so he quickly got on and reached the young man’s house.
“Lady Celestine.” opening to him by the guard
He was slightly surprised at what it called him.
“I-I am. Is your boss already there?” he asked
“Sir is waiting for you inside.”
He went inside. He even asked the maids where the grass was. He saw it in one of its living rooms in the west wing. He’s drinking. Napameywang tuloy sya.
“It’s noon. Are you drinking alcohol? Do you want to say goodbye early? What a race!” his sermon
He walked in front of it and snatched the wine glass from its hand. He thought Alexendris would complain to him but he didn’t. She stared at the young man’s face.
His blue eyes were blank staring at the glass center table. It seems that something is right but the thought has overcome the right of alcohol. He’s spacing out.
“Hey! Are you okay?” he shook his shoulder
“I’m not.”
There is a problem ..
Alexendris leaned on and closed his eyes. Its breathing is violent as if it is trying to calm itself. Her curiousity started again. Unknowingly, his eyes dropped to her hand. Her eyes widened. Its fists are bleeding.
“A-what happened to the hand ?!” he asked in a panic
He got up and immediately looked for an assistant to get a first aid kit and then returned to Alexendris. He’s eyes were still closed.
