Chapter 85: Chapter 85

Kathleen shakes her head, Barbara gaze became stronger.

He is one of the Torrence, the heir to the diamond jewelry.

That is good news, oops! he is not in love with you.

I could seduce him, if there where no one in his life, he got a fiancee not even a girlfriend, he is in a serious relationship

Oh no! She hugged Kathleen, she must have really gone through hell.

I thought I will get over him, seeing him today, calling out to me, I remember how embarrassing it is, I really didn't think he will recognize me.

He did!

Yes, he recognized me, I was too embarrass to face him again, I felt really cheap, even though he was calling out for me, I could see his worried face, maybe he love me, I don't know. She sighed deeply.

I am sorry! Barbara murmured, she can't believe that her friend was in pain, yet she is adding fuel to the fire, she caress her friends hair. You should had been more careful.

How is it possible to be careful, When the heart is involved? How is it possible that you love Dante, even with all the pains he curse you?

She inhale deeply, Kathleen had a point, she too fall for a total stranger who is in disguise in another's man body, the only difference is that, she didn't give her body to him.

Will he had love me, if I have given him my body? Barbara voiced out, Kathleen felt sorry for her as well, the girls always have same fate. Dante had hurt her yet her heart still want him, she really wants him. That is enough, it's a good thing you are here, we can see the town together.

Really?

Yes! Grandpa made out to-do list for me, the old man wants me to enjoy my stay.

Whoa! Kathleen screamed, seeing the lengthy list. Are you sure, grandpa want you to leave, this will take more than 365 days?

Did you know when Mr Raphael gave me the list, I asked him, how many years did he take to make this list?

How long did it take him?

A night.

What?

Yes, he said as soon as grandpa heard that I will be arriving the next day, he made him work on this, to think that Grandpa must had stress Mr Raphael, I thought of giving it a trial one after the other.

Who is Mr Raphael?

Grandpa assistant, he is more like his personal bodyguard.

And he is to take you all the tour?

No way, I am not going to have a bodyguard, not now not even in future, I only agree to dad back then, to make him feel at easy, he was really scared of my safety few days before the incident.

Hm!

Yes, so you should rest.

That reminds me, Jeffrey is worried about you? Why haven't you reach him?

I just don't want him to see be broken. Barbara sighed as she sulk, Kathleen caress her hair.

You should move on, maybe, you will fine a deserving man.

No way, I am never going to give my heart to anyone else, I will rather show them the stronger me, the bossy, cold hearted me, if he could be cold to me, then I could be colder to him.

I will never let them trapped on me, that remains me, I try to get the source that video link out from, I want to make the person get the taste of his own medicine.

Kathleen look at Barbara.

Why are staring at me? Go on and lie down, be rest assured that, I will trouble you till you leave. Kathleen titter as she heard Barbara's words. So lie down and sleep.

Kathleen wanted to cry more but who is she to cry, when someone who had received all the scandal and pain in the world is strong, picking up the pieces of her life and ready to move on.

You could cry if you want, my shoulder is always here for you. Kathleen burst in tears again, with those words from Barbara, she looks at the naughty girl, who is into another round of tears. Such a cry baby, come here. Barbara hugged her tight making the two fall into a deep sleep in each others arm.

***

Dante haven't been himself since the incident, he try to make everyone believe that he is not affected but the truth is, he missed her, after departing with Jayden, who is about to travel to his dad, he went straight to the condominium.

Instead of going to his room, he goes to the one Barbara spend the night in, he lie on the bed, he had practically refuse to let the bedsheets be changed, he wants to sniff that scent of hers, that scent that drive him crazy.

He stare at the couch, hoping he will see her. She is gone, he missed her, her present, her naughtiness, then her lips and those words coming out of her mouth. I love you!

It keeps echoing in his head, he closed his eyes try to lock that part from his head, it's there, fully engraved in his heart and head, he grabbed his phone to look at all the funny pictures of her.

What if I don't just missed you? He asked Barbara's picture, he rifled his hand with his fingers. You shouldn't put your heart on that? what if she disappeared like them all? what if she stop loving me? What if she is carried away with the way you kiss her?

So many what if, runs in his heart that he feel like ripping his heart out, for the pass days, when he closed his eyes all he could see is Barbara sad face, a part of him wants to keep Barbara to himself, act possessive over her and shoo away other guys.

And the other part, is fear, fear of getting hurt again and betrayed by the woman he give his heart to, he will rather guard it then let his guard down and get hurt again

He sniff more on the pillow to his greatest surprised he was able to sleep peacefully after so many days of having insomnia. It was the sound of his phone that wakes him, the next morning.

Shit! He cursed as he realized it's morning already.

Hey boss!

It's too early to be annoying. Dante voice scold Jayden.

Sorry, I forgot to tell you that, secretary Maria is resigning.

What?

Yes, she is dying to let you know but it seems you are in a world of your own.

Fine, you should tell the HR department to put up advertisement for the position of a secretary and assistant

What? Are you trying to fire me?

No oh!

Then what?

With your dad illness, I am sure he will wants to give the company to you, instead of your half brother.

I am not interested in it, so stop it.

Fine, I am not going to force you, the opportunity is always open to you, should in case you change your mind.

I am not changing my mind.

Fine, I have given the details of your girlfriend to Noah hopefully we will get good news so as to track her down.

Yes, Cole's daughter that you can't get your mind away from.

Stop been mean, I am not lovesick.

Noted! Get off the phone. Jayden end the call, in frustration, Dante smirked at the naughty boys act. He is aware of Jayden predicament without the man telling him what is eating him up.
