Until now, my head still hurts because of the amount I drank last night but it’s okay with me because if that didn’t happen I wouldn’t see Agatha again. I didn’t really think she lived here and I found out that Zey owns this unit.
I just woke up when Zey suddenly came, her voice was so loud that I heard it right away.
When Zey started cooking, Agatha and I were left sitting on the sofa. It was obvious that she felt awkward based on her face but later she also started talking.
We were already starting to talk when suddenly there was a knock on the door so Agatha excused herself first to see who was there. I was surprised because a few minutes ago she still hadn’t come back so I followed her and saw that she was talking to Maxine.
Since Zey already finished cooking we started eating with Maxine. After we ate we both rested first on sofa four. I looked at Agatha a few more times but I noticed she was quiet.
Later, Zey’s phone rang and she excused herself to answer who was calling. A few minutes later Zey returned to where we were.
“Guys, I’ll leave you first because I’ll go to Gian’s unit for a while.” she said and pulled Maxine to go with her.
The surroundings began to be quiet again and no one wanted to talk after Zey and Maxine had left us.
“I didn’t know you lived here.” I started.
She looked at me. “Ah yes because I was looking for an apartment but Zey said I’ll just stay here because she is not using this unit.” she replied.
“I see. Do you want something to eat? ” I ask.
She nodded. “Looks like I want to eat cake.”
“Okay, I’ll get it for you.” I said and then got up to go to the kitchen and get her what she wanted.
I just took one slice of cake and put some juice in the glass also.
“Here.” I reached out to her.
She smiled at me. “Thank you!”
She’s really gorgeous especially when she’s smiling heart -melting. I just stared at her while she was eating, I couldn’t help it because I missed her so much.
“Why? Do I have dirt on my face?” she suddenly asked me.
I shook my head in response.
“You are staring at me like I thought there was.” she ejaculated with a laugh.
“You’re so pretty that’s why I can’t stop myself from staring at you.” I honestly said.
“Stop being that Ethan Hernandez!” she said to me and I just laughed.
“By the way, are you and Maxine in a relationship? Why is she looking for you? ” she suddenly asked, to my surprise.
“She’s a friend of Gian’s cousin, we went to a bar together last night and I took her home because it’s already late. You know it’s dangerous for a woman to go home alone. Why did you ask?” I explained.
“I thought she was your girlfriend.”
I laughed. “Are you jealous?” I asked.
“W-what? I just ask you if it’s true then if it is I’m happy for you.”
I stopped laughing because of what she said. “She’s just my friend and she likes Gian and not me. You know who I love.” I seriously promise.
She nodded and continued eating the cake I took from her. “How are you?” I ask.
“As you can see I’m okay.”
“It’s good then, I’m happy to know you’re okay.” I promise.
“How about you? You seem to be busy with the company, I always see in magazines and interviews about the Hernandez Company. ”
I gasped for breath. “It went well and somehow I was able to cope. There is really too much to do and then there is a new branch that needs to be focused on. ” I answered her.
“I’m sure Uncle is very proud of you.”
I smiled at her. “I’m sure, who would have thought that I would inherit our company, right? It’s not what I want to do but I can’t do anything because I’m the only one left and Luke is nowhere to be found. I don’t want my parents’ hard work to be in vain. ” I said seriously.
It’s been an hour but Zey still isn’t coming back, I keep thinking that they really meant not to come back right away, Gian’s unit is just near here.
“I feel bored this morning , do you think Zey will come back?” she said.
“I don’t know but I’m sure they will be here soon.” I said.
She was blown away. “It’s better if we just play first.”
My forehead wrinkled. “What kind of game? You are no longer a child to play. ” I tease her.
“You’re crazy! I didn’t say it was a child’s game. ” she stared at me.
She stood up and sat next to me while holding her phone. At first I didn’t understand what she said about the game but later I also got what she was saying after she showed me her phone and taught me the game that she said.
While she was talking and teaching me how to play, I didn’t have my focus there because I was just looking at her until she noticed it and slapped my shoulder.
“What?” I exclaimed.
“I hate you! That’s why you can’t understand because you’re not looking at what I’m teaching you.
I laughed as she frowned.
