Chapter 70

[So, I should be thankful for that experience?] This is philosophizing.

"Oh, don't stop, it's embarrassing for you, isn't it. I taught you how to kiss and then--" I couldn't finish what I was saying when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Elyse??" That's Mike's voice.

I heard it knock again.

"You're awake right??"

"Ah, yes! Why?" I will ask.

What else does he need??

[Who's that?] Xander asked me.

"Mike--"

[Damn! Can you just tell him to f**k off? Can't he see that we're talking on the phone?!] he asked irritably.

I think she's on her period, she's so hot, my god!

"I'm here right now inside the room and he's outside so how can he see?" I calmly promised him.

[Tsk, whatever!]

"Can you please open the door?"

I was suddenly shaken, I almost forgot that Mike was just outside the room.

I stood up slowly because I was feeling dizzy again. I got close to the door and slowly opened it.

"Hmm, do you need something?"

I scratched my head and asked him.

"Are you talking with someone a while ago??" It was obvious from his face that he was curious and was waiting for my answer.

"Uhm, yes...why?"

I asked but he didn't answer that. Instead of answering my question, he asked me himself.

"Was that a guy or a girl?"

Why is he interested in knowing that?

I was about to answer but suddenly my son came.

"Mommy! Let's play with the chin!" He said enthusiastically and pulled my hand. I looked at Mike and he was just looking at us as he was walking towards the living room.

"Hmm? What do you want us to play sweetie?" I asked and sat down first.

I looked at my cellphone and noticed that Xander had hung up on me. Is he still sulking at me?

"I don't know hehehe..." I looked at him. He seemed so excited earlier, I thought we were going to play something or maybe he had already thought of something and the only thing missing was a game, but I guess I was wrong.

"You dragged Mommy here and then you couldn't think of anything to play with...?"

"Uhmm, yes heheh! Sorry, Mommy!" The corner of his lips rose as he looked at me now.

He sat next to me and hugged me. "Mommy I miss Daddy Xander." His language is weak. There is sadness in his voice and I feel a little sorry for my son now.

"Do you want to see--ohh, nevermind." I promised and shook my head.

i think, it's not time for me to tell him and for him and Xander to meet again.

"I want to see Daddy Xander...maybe he's sad now because we're not there."

I suddenly thought about what he said. I didn't think that maybe Xander was sad when we left without saying anything. Maybe he looked for Elizabeth and me that day?

I suddenly felt guilty for leaving him that day. I'm just really angry and I can't think of anything else but to leave his house because I don't want to be with him anymore and see him. You can't really stop an angry person.

_

It's late and we're in the room now. My son and I are next to each other and he is fast asleep now. Recently, Mindy and I talked about what is happening to us now and also about what happened with Xander earlier.

Mindy said that I should just follow my heart and maybe we can go back to Xander's house. He was right in what he said that Mike can visit Elizabeth and he can also take our daughter for a walk whenever he wants. But the problem is that Xander's house is too far away and that place doesn't let anyone in.

I just held my breath because I was thinking too much right now. I suddenly remembered what my daughter said that she misses Xander, I want to say that I miss him too even though we met earlier.

I reached for my cellphone and looked at the time and it was almost 1 am. I remember when I was still at Xander's house, I was leaving the room to get a drink of water and seeing Xander outside or maybe in the kitchen. that I miss him being a bit rude to me.

I checked the message to see if Xander had texted me and I saw that there was no new text from him.

To Xander: You're already asleep right?

To Xander: Or maybe you're drinking again at this hour?

I text him again. A few minutes passed and I didn't receive a text from him so I tried to call him and he answered.

I was about to speak but I heard another voice on the other end of the line.

[Mr. lavender said that he wants to meet you in person, and if you're not going to come see him...he's taking down the offer boss.]

[Threatened him or kill him if he insists on seeing me.] Even though I was far away from him, I could feel his cold voice. A voice that sounds scary.

"Xander??"

Who is the man she is talking to? Who's Mr. Lavender? And why does Xander have to say to threaten or kill him?? I know it's really something, I feel different...

[Ohh? Why did you call me?]

The tone of his voice suddenly changed.

maybe he didn't notice that he answered my call. I thought he was drinking now but he seems to be busy with other things that I don't fully understand. Did the male boss call her lala? So, he is her boss? Boss where?

"Uhm, nothing...hmm, who are you talking to??" I asked him in surprise and he was silent for a few seconds.

[Person one is talking to? I don't have anyone to talk to, huh?] I frowned at what he said.

"Liar. I heard it Xander okay? Why are you trying to lie to me huh? What do you think I'm stupid or maybe deaf?"

[Let's just not talk about that...]

It said.

"So? What do you want to talk about then?"

I asked a little confused.

[I don't know. It's better to talk with you when you are just beside me.] I shook my head and laughed softly.

"Are you not mad at me anymore?"

[Who said I hate you? i never said that.] He didn't say it but I felt it.

"Duh! You've always been dead on my calls!" I covered my mouth because I think my voice got louder. I don't want Elizabeth to wake up because of me.

[I'm not angry at you, I'm annoyed okay. that Mike pisses me off, just by hearing his name makes me want to punch him.]

"You're awesome! Just relax, Mike isn't doing anything bad to you."

He's so hot-headed, and he hasn't even met Mike yet. Mike is nice so maybe when they meet... they will get along or what?

[He just reminds of a guy I know, he has the same name as he...] I raised my eyebrows at what he said now.

"Owws really? You mean you're mad at that guy?"

[kinda,]

"And why is that?"

[You don't need to know that. It's not that important, anyway, how's Elizabeth?] He asked so I turned to my daughter who was now sleeping like a doll.

"It's fine but he told me earlier that he missed you and wanted to see you."

[Ohh, tell him I miss him too.]

"S-Alright, I'll tell him tomorrow."

[Maybe you're not sleeping with that Mike, are you?] My eyes widened slightly at his question. Why did he go to that topic again?

"Damn it! My son is the only one next to me. then why don't we go to sleep." I said while scratching my head.

"Uhm, by the way I have s-to tell you something." I suddenly remembered my vomiting a while ago and my period that still hasn't been there yet.

[What? Got a problem??]

I shook my head. this topic shouldn't be discussed on the phone Elyse, my son or any ghost in the room might hear it char!

"Ahh, nothing! It's better if I tell you in person."

(End of flashback)

But he's cuter when he's jealous.

that's just like he's stupid, he's just jealous...like super nonsense like that. That there is nothing to be jealous of.

I suddenly remembered that day. There was something about what Xander was talking to, what I heard and it was only a few seconds before he hung up on me.

and when I left the room, that's when I saw Mike leaving the house like he was furious.

I think...uhm, they had a fight? I don't know! That's impossible but it's also possible.

heyst...there is also a day that you really want to go back to, that you wish I could go back to that day, not because you want to change something but because you miss those very days.

Xander Ferrer's Pov.

Sh*t! What kind of ring did I buy!

The f**k Xander! you were embarrassed by the girl you love, even insulted you! But she was cute earlier, her reaction...

Instead of being annoyed because he didn't accept my proposal, I was even happy. There's nothing, he was just really cute to look at at that time. Maybe I should have proposed when I really prepared what? The one with a lot of people so he can't refuse?

"Boss? Are you okay?" I suddenly came to my senses because of Jeff's question

"Yeah? What makes you think that I'm not okay Jeff? Don't I look fine?"

"You look like a fool boss, you were smiling a while ago."

"That's what it's like when you fall in love...with him..." I smiled again as I imagined Elyse's face.

"It looks like it's not normal anymore."

I heard him say this and I saw him shake his head.

"I can hear you Jeff." I said seriously.

"Pfft., I'm sorry boss." Stop laughing at this promise.

"Btw, how's my business? There's no problem?"

"Yes, boss, everything is fine... sometimes there are customers who criticize, but it can be fixed."

"That's good then." I nodded while looking at my laptops.

"By the way boss Xander. Have you seen that girl yet?" I looked at him.

"No, not yet. That's one of your jobs right? To find him?" I raised my eyebrows.

"I told you, I was just asking, boss."

"By the way, I heard some of the employees' conversation. You and Silva are in a relationship? Is that true?" I stood up and approached him.

i disallowed my employees to have a relationship with their co-workers because then they won't be able to focus on work because they will probably only be flirting.

I held him by the shoulder.

"Then I heard something else that you are pregnant. Is all that true??"

"Y-Yes, boss. H-I didn't mean it, it's not that we really wanted to fall for each other boss. We're just friends but one day--"

"Suddenly you re-realize that you love him, that you miss him when you don't see him. that he excites you when he's here, you're happy when you're happy, you're hurt when he's hurt and most of all you feel like you can't live without him..."

"I don't need to talk boss, I said everything first!" It even clapped at the same time.

"Okay fine, I will remove those rules from the company."

"Great boss, you're not bitter now." He couldn't believe his ejaculation.

"Make an announcement to all employees that they're allowed to have a relationship with their co-workers and they're free to share they're relationship BUT! I won't allow dating in my company understand?! because this is not a dating place, when it's work time you have to work and when it's lunch time, I don't care if they flirt with their bf and gf as long as they don't show me what they do to me because maybe I'll shoot them by chance."

"You're 50/50 boss, you're haft bitter too."

"Alright, you're just talking again. Get to work!"

"By the way, boss, is your wound okay?" There is concern in his voice.

"Yeah, I'm used to getting hurt. it's not new to me, anyway, I'm still pissed with that damn Mike! He always makes me really angry! He will inherit from his crazy father!" I said with a halt. I clenched my fist and hit it hard on the table.

"Boss, you broke your laptop again. I just bought it yesterday." When I looked down, my hand hit the laptop.
