Chapter 10 - Engagement Party Part 1

n

n

nTomorrow is their party and now, she's having her second session on hair laser removal from her dermatologist and other experts to do the job. Zach had his own business appointment and she cares no less about him. But still, she hates it when he got lots of women around him even though he kept pushing them away. However, she won't act recklessly though.

nAfter her session, she put her clothes on and relax a little. She only wore a thong so she wouldn't get rashes and since her doctor said so.

n

"Sis!

" She rolled her eyes by just hearing Kathleen's voice. She hated the person. She's such an actress. She got a very bad reputation for years because Kathleen turned her into a slut. Set her up and make her look bad in front of everyone.

nThat incident was years ago but she didn't give a ** anymore. She will die any time soon. What's there to worry about?

nShe acted like a little angel since they were kids. Devil in the disguise of an angel's face. That's why for three years when she came into an age she never go home. Kathleen set her up that she stole her boyfriend and that her boyfriend cheated on Kathleen because of her. She even acted like she hurt Kathleen when Kathleen is acting as an antagonist. She hurt herself in front of everyone and blame her. Everyone hated her and see her as a black sheep of the family. But her grandpa, dad, and brother always there for her.

n

"You are here!

" Kathleen greeted her with a cheerful face that she hates so much.

n

"I'm leaving.

" Kathleen grabbed her arm and clung to her.

n

"Wait, we should have pedicure and manicure. Tomorrow is the big day after all.

" She wanted to roll her eyes.

n

"Fuck off, Kathleen.

" She said it calm but Kathleen was taken aback.

"Or do you want me to break your arm?

" Kathleen was stunned and finally let her go. She walked off like a runway Queen and went to the parking lot. She suddenly smells gas and hears something dripping. She ducked down and saw that her new car tampered.

"Fuck that bitch.

" She utter. She knows that Kathleen was the one who did it. That's why she smelled a little gas a while ago.

nShe contacted her butler and she went to her fiancé's office nearby by just walking. She gets in and punched the elevator number to the 28th floor. She even signed the security guard to open the door for her using the card. She was asked in the reception area on whom she's visiting.

n

"I wanted to see, Zach Pattinson right now.

" She told.

n

"I'm so sorry, Ma'am but do you have an appointment with the President?

"

n

"No.,

" she said shaking her head. She doesn't have his number after all.

"Try calling him on his telephone.

" She demanded impatiently. The receptionist did call on the other line.

n

"May I know your name, Ma'am?

" She pulled out her license card and showed it to her. Of course, they are surprised, and she was immediately escorted to the President's office. She called her brother while walking to the President's office.

n

"James, your **ing cousin did something on my car. Make someone review the CCTV recording on the parking lot of the clinic.

"

n

"Hey, baby sis. Do you really have to say bad words whenever you asked for my favor?

"

n

"Just do it.

" She hung up and the door was open for her. She entered immediately went on the sofa and throw her purse there with her phone. Ignoring her fiancé who is already standing to meet her.

n

"Do you want anything to drink?

"

n

"Vodka if you have.

" He told her secretary to bring a can of soda and full of ice. Then he stands in front of her and she's massaging her head.

n

"So, what brought you here?

" He sat down beside her and massage her head. She moaned and leaned her head on the sofa.

n

"Someone wanted to kill me.

" She utter.

n

"Isn't that what you wanted?

" She chuckled and open her eyes a little.

n

"But I don't want that bitch to kill me.

" She blurted. He stopped and frowned.

n

"What happened?

" She didn't say a thing and was about to sleep but he kissed her face a lot loudly. He kept kissing her face loudly. He's being like that just for her to tell him what happened.

"Come on, tell me.

"

n

"Stop that.

" She pushed him and the door opens as the secretary served the soda with Bavarian.

"Oh, Bavarian!

" she picked it though the white sprinkles of the Bavarian are falling on the carpet and her dress. She took a big bite.

n

"Thank you.

" He told her secretary and she left. He watched her eat messily on the Bavarian, her favorite than a donut. He licked his lips and reach her chin and lick clean all the excess white sprinkles around her lips.

"Hmm, taste good.

" He reached her legs and entered his hand under her dress.

n

"Careful!

" she swatted his hands away.

"I just got a laser.

"

n

"Oh, can I see it?

" Her brow creased and then her phone started ringing. She reached for her phone from her purse and she answered it casually.

n

"What happened?

" She checked her clean long nails that needed manicure.

"Make sure that my car is great.

"

nShe threw her phone away and eat the last bite of Bavarian. She was about to finish cleaning her fingers but he took it and suck each of her fingers. Suck her thumb very much affectionate. She leaned on the sofa and watched him clean her fingers. Why does he do that?

n

"You know that I won't ** with you—

"

n

"I know.

" He kisses her lips.

"Enjoy your Bavarian.

" He took one piece and went to his table and start eating. She took another piece and finish it, couldn't stop thinking about the engagement tomorrow. She glanced at him, her eyes are broken. She then looked away quickly finishing the Bavarian. She took the glass, half of ice and full of soda. She sipped on the soda and suddenly butterflies flapping on her stomach.

n

"Zach.

" It's the first time that she calls him by his nickname. She shivers.

n

"Hmm?

"

n

"If you wanted to back-out. Please just back out now.

"

nHe didn't say a thing and just hear his incoming footsteps closer to her. He wrapped his arms around her from behind. She didn't shiver anymore but she still felt insecure. She won't know if she could still make it through the engagement. Not even to their wedding.

n

"I'm sorry.

" She's afraid of hearing it from him. She will just burst out.

"I won't back out now. Never again. I'm sorry for failing you back then but I—I can't go back to that time anymore. I was a coward. I can't even handle little things on my own. I can't even protect you, but now I will.

"

n

"Don't ever start on making a pledge.

"

n

"Can we start all over again?

"

n

"No. I don't think we can.

" She gently pushes him away and went to the sofa and finish the soda.

n

"We are going to be husband and wife soon.

" He looked a little frustrated because she kept rejecting him and there's a call on his telephone. He stared at her for a moment. Then, he exhaled.

n

"I'm going to leave.

" She pulls tissue and wiped her mouth then pick her purse and phone.

n

"Just a moment.

" He murmured on the telephone and he blocked her. He extended his hand to her.

"Phone.

" She gave it to him, and he entered her password, just like old times. She never changed her password and then search his number on her phone. She blocked his number there. So, he unblocked it and called his own phone. He wiped her lips with his thumb and lightly brushes his to hers.

"Call me if you got emergencies.

"

n

"I can take care of myself.

" She pulled her phone from him and then stepped out of his office.

nShe walked around the Global City and went to the spa. She'll have her half-day at the spa for Manicure, Pedicure, and whole-body massage. Since she's a VIP guest that Zach had arranged for her, she had the whole VIP room just for her. She chose to have her manicure and pedicure first and then next is an hour of whole-body massage and Chinese acupuncture. Just when the therapist is starting, she heard footsteps coming. It must be men's footsteps as the therapist greet the man and told him to take a shower first or change clothes. She can smell his perfume. Zach. She thought that he wouldn't accompany her.
