Ethan was speechless. He just looked me straight in the eye. Then he slowly bent down and looked up.I saw how the hump on his neck rose several times. He passed us by without saying a word.When he disappeared in front of me, I was relieved."Iris? Are you okay? Who is that and what did you say I'm your wife. Haven't you moved on yet?"I slapped Justin on the arm. He is still very sensitive to this day.Justin was my ex-boyfriend in high school. He's the one I ran to when Mama and I had a fight because of Henry.He is also my only friend other than my plastic friends.We became grade eight and reached grade nine. We broke up before we were in grade ten.Because we are still immature. We both agreed to separate.Besides, he likes someone else. We also ended on good terms."You feel!"He laughed and held her arm."Just kidding! But seriously, how are you?"I pulled him back down the hallway to the restroom."I'm fine. You? How are you...and Dane?"I saw how Justin's face changed. His h

I couldn't stop smiling at that text from Ethan. Somehow I feel better.I still have a few hours left for my break, so I answered them one by one. I put Wella's first, Anne, Ethan's last.I put his name in my contact lists as Ethan. I've saved it so I won't have to think about who the unknown number is texting me.Me to Wella:that's fine, besides, it's good that you didn't say it...maybe I didn't do my job right and failed the exam. so I understand you didn't tell me right away. Mama's condition is fine.I'm with Anne:I've been in the department for a while now. after our meeting I will go home. in our house.Me to Ethan:I didn't use it.

I was about to type something to reply to Ethan. When I heard a knock from the door."Hija...this is manang Dares. Your mom is waking you up and you're going to have dinner..."I smiled before answering. "I-I'm awake! I'll just get ready and then I'll go downstairs.""Alright hija, hurry up or the food will get cold on the chin."I didn't answer and just stood up. I fixed the bed and rubbed my face. Then, I went down. The whole house was quiet, because there were only a few of us here.I caught up with Mama who was sitting in her usual place. When he saw me, he immediately smiled."Eat son," I sat across from him.Lots of food. Everything looks delicious, but I don't feel like eating. I just took the right amount of food. I can really use you up.Then we started eating. It was also quiet, but Mama was smiling in front of me. So I smiled back at him too.That night ended quietly. I kissed Mama on the cheek before going to my room. I locked it, then I went to bed.The next day, I woke u

Justin's girlfriend is probably Dane!"Is that serious?"Anne nodded one after the other. So I looked up and closed my eyes. I also washed my face with my palm. I also ran my hand through my hair and straightened myself."Eh, didn't you pretend that brother Justin was your husband? How is that? Sir Ace caught brother Justin with someone else."I looked up at Anne. "P-it's possible that Justin cheated on me."Anne's face soured and shook her head. "That's what you're going to tell Sir Ace if he ever mentions it to you. I'm telling you, you're good at accusing. You're convincing!"I just had a bite of potato in my chicken curry. I don't know how to answer and I will tell Ethan if he mentions it to me.I'm sure he knows that I'm just lying. There is no more and no explanation is needed.What he had just witnessed and heard yesterday was enough. There is enough evidence that I am lying.Before he was definitely lying and I was just pretending.Now, he was definitely sure.But...I also thi

While riding the elevator, I texted Anne.Me:I'm going up there. are there any works?Next, I replied to Ethan.Me:rehearse well haha.The elevator rang and I put my cell phone in my pocket. I immediately walked to the COPT office. When I opened the door, everyone was focused on their computers.Then they looked at me when I opened the door.I was stunned for a moment because of the shame. I bowed and quietly went to my cubicle with Anne."Grand entrance yarn?"I pulled her hair. It's still annoying!"I texted you. I asked if you were doing anything, but you didn't reply!""Oh," he was still sitting in his seat. "Did you text?"He took the cell phone from his bag. And read my text. I just shook my head and turned on the computer in front of me.I took the phone out of my pocket because of the vibration. I thought it was Ethan who texted, it was the witch next to me.Anne:I see you were a baby earlier hihiMe:where?Anne:lobby, with Yuri and Uno. then miss Krystal. Miss Krystal's

My chest beat faster again. I didn't expect that question. Even though I wasn't the one being asked, I was nervous."Uh...for this one...I'll answer."The DJ put on sound effects. "Okay! So what's the answer?! My dear listeners, please listen carefully."Quiet. Everything is quiet. My co-workers suddenly fell silent. Even DJ, Riki, and Yuri are silent. Waiting for Ethan to answer."I don't know if I was allowed to tell this. But...yes, I am already interested in someone. That someone wasn't Krystal. In fact, she knows who that is.""Oh my goodness!""Come on, if it's not Krystal who is it?!"Everything returned to the noise. My co-workers had their own reactions. Someone still stood up. The noises from the speaker are laughter and the sound effects of the DJ."Alright, folks! We need to calm down. I know we're all freaking out! But! Can we know who's this lucky girl?"Ethan laughed softly which made my heart beat even faster. "Because she's very private. So I won't tell her name or an

I stopped myself from hitting him. We might have an accident here. I sighed and assured him that Luke had nothing to worry about.According to our conversation during the trip. I also repeatedly told him not to forget our conversation.That's our set-up at work. Later I also told him how I felt while we were talking to his Grandma and Kuya."The pounding in my chest. Especially when you said I was working at HBLE," I began. "Then you still manage to joke and laugh?"The car stopped because we were already on the part of the road where the traffic was widespread. Today is also weekdays."Tss, why are you nervous? They won't move you. Besides, you're with me, why should you be afraid?""I don't know. I thought maybe they don't like me or our relationship. Because... your work will be affected, so will mine. So yes, I was really scared."I turned to him when I felt him reach for my hand resting on my thigh.He squeezed our hand and started the car again."In case they object. How do they
