Chapter Eleven.*Few Days Later*Erika's POV.It had been great for me so far, and it was so funny seeing someone who was trying too hard to gain my attention when I didn't even give a fuck about him. He was willing to do anything for me, but he needed to realize that I don't care about him.There was something that would be happening next week. It was the company's anniversary, and everyone has been preparing for that day. It really looked like a huge day for the company.I was among those who will be planning, and we will also be introducing some of our projects to the people who were there. I knocked on the door leading to Tristan's office.Furthermore, I opened the door immediately, and he knocked. It was then that I saw his mother, who was sitting right there. I haven't seen her since what happened to me a few years ago.I bowed my head. "I think you are really busy." I wanted to walk out of the room, but I was interrupted by her voice."Where do you think you are going to? Do yo

Chapter Thirteen.Erika's POV."So you still want to go? Or do I go and meet Betty?" He questioned me while I looked around and took a huge sigh. "I will go." I told him, and I could see how he was happy right on his face. We then walked out of the company together. I could see a lot of people who were talking right behind us. I bet that they must be thinking that we were dating or somethingI knew that gossip like this was going to be common, but there was no reason for me to be bothered since it was not real. We got to where his car was, and he told his driver that he was going to drive. I have Ben expecting him to bring up the matter that happened last night, but since he didn't want to bring it up, I guess I would have to do it myself.He started driving to the location, and then we almost got there. I gave him the courage and decided to ask him."So, in short. You are trying to tell me that you didn't remember what happened between us last night?" I brought it up, and I could fe

Chapter FifteenErika's POVIt has been five minutes, and I have been staring at the beauties in front of me. The clothes were so beautiful, and I loved every bit of it. I looked at the jewelry he bought for me, and I loved every bit of it as well.I placed them back appropriately in the box and went to sleep after that. Furthermore, I walked back into the room, and then I slept off after that.*THE NEXT DAY*I was in the office while I worked as usual, but not until I got a nail from the company's website. "Good day, ma'am. As a worker in our company who was employed their year, there would be a business vacation that would happen right before the company's anniversary. More details would be passed afterward." That was what the mail said, while I sighed deeply.I've actually heard about something like this before. It was like a welcome company for those who were employed within 12 months of joining the company. My case was something else; I became a partner, like I was employed.But

Chapter Seventeen.Charles's POV.I was expecting her to say who she wanted her date partner to be. To be very honest, I wanted to be her date partner, but I don't know if she would want to be mine.That was what I was scared of. It would be better to be alone than to embarrass myself. We were on the plane, but she refused to talk and wore the headphones.It was going smoothly, but not until there was turbulence. I looked at her and then remembered that her parents once experienced a place crash, so she must be so scared right now. I held her hand as a form of reassurance that I was still with her, and there was no reason why she needed to be scared.She looked at me immediately when my hand touched hers. "There is no reason for you to be scared. I am there with you." I assured her. A lot of the people on the plane were panicking; some were even screaming. The turbulence became worse, and she held onto my arm tightly. It was so tight that I could feel a little pain. That alone showed

Chapter Nineteen.Erika's POV.I wore my dress while I remembered what happened between Andrew, and I last night. I agreed with what he said, and that was the way that I could see if Charles was really serious with me.I really loved his idea, and it was cool that was the reason why he was getting closer to me. We were told that we would be going to a place today whereby they have something in surprise for us.I was still wondering what they had in store for us. It looked like it was going to be fun. After I was done dressing. I entered the bus that was there waiting for us right at the field.Some were in the bus already, while some were still yet to enter the bus. We were still good at to wait for them regardless.I saw Charles, and Betty entering the bus at the same times and they happened to sit right beside each other. Andrew walked into the bus after a while, and he sat right beside me also.After we were all complete, the bus took off. It was a 10 Minutes journey, and we got to
