"So, you are dating my friend, huh?" I asked Draco trying to change the topic to lit their mood up.

"Hmp..." he cleared his throat before he spoke. "I...I really love her, Riya." He scratched the back of his neck.


"You must be, otherwise you have to face me before you die." I gave him a playful yet warning glare.

After that we talked, we chatted, we cuddled, and we hugged until time flew by 3 AM. I felt relief when I opened my mind to her; it helped me to put all my stress down from my shoulder.

We hugged once last time when they took their leave and she promised me to visit every day as possible.

I dropped Sweety to her school before I headed into my office. I greeted Payal and entered the elevator to make my way to the 7th floor.


As usual, everyone minded their own business when they saw me walking past them. It's not my concern anyway.

Juliet seems to okay now. We had our breakfast together and I told her everything that happened on Saturday except some part that I wanted to forget.

When we finished our breakfast Harith joined us. We chatted for a minute and I left them alone to do my works.

These past days I have been noticing that Harith is finding any fine opportunity to hook with her. I don't know what goes into his mind.

"Riya." I sighed when I heard the most annoying tone in the world.

"Call me Kader." I gritted my teeth.

"That's not a matter. I just want to know the truth. You sure you are not with me?" He asked rubbing his jaw still thinking deep inside.

"Yo.." Hmp....I cleared my throat before I spoke again. "What are you saying? I cleared myself that I was not with you that night. You dropped me in my apartment and I spent my night sleeping peacefully in my bed, not with you. Are you clear?" My heart thundered heavily against my rib cage. If he had two feet closer to me, he would have heard my heartbeat, no doubt.

He twisted his lips like he didn't take what I said. "It felt real." He murmured to himself then his blue orbs searched for mine but I averted my gaze and looked somewhere but him.

"Can you move aside? You are blocking my way." I said not looking at him.

He cursed something under his breath and walked into his office then slammed the door with a loud thud.

I let out a long sigh that I was holding since he came into my views. Thank God! He doesn't remember anything that happened between us. I am saved from the embarrassment.

I was kept thinking about how I am going to face him, it was haunting me since the morning I wake up from the strange place but didn't think it would be turned into another way. It's not that much bad as I expected. Once again, I was saved from the embarrassment.

It's been a week since I've started to get a continuous headache. Sometimes I wanted to take my head off my body and keep it away until I feel good, but it's not possible. No wonder why the human mind is thinking immortal things.

I'm getting so many pressures inside my pretty brain.

And to my relief, Claire makes her visit two days once. She is so fond of Sweety. She even asked me to take Sweety out with her which I gladly accepted. But when they returned to my apartment, she said she never going to have children, not anytime soon. Her facial reaction was hilarious.

Silly girl.

I shook my head and flipped the page one by one and marked the round with my pencil where I found the errors, deciding let them correct it on later as I'm not in the right mind to correct the bug.

Suddenly, Sweety's voice got my attention. Don't tell me she is here but it sounds real. I get up from my seat and opened the door to find any trace of her but no, she is not here.

I glanced at my wristwatch only to find out it had 3 in the evening. Miss. Jaden would have picked her up from school. I twisted my lips; maybe I missed my Angel already.

When I was about to close my door, I heard her voice again. This time I could clearly figure out from where the source is coming and it's none other than the next door, the devil himself.

Losing all my patience, I stormed into his office and saw Sweety and Karen were playing around the table, besides he is sitting on his chair, his face was buried between his palm, his eyes closed shut. Annoyance is clearly written over his face.

"You two." He gained their attention. "I said don't make noise. If you behave, I will buy you ice cream." He tried his best to control his anger and partially won.

"But I want chocolate now!" Sweety pouted her lips causing me to furrow my brows. When did they become closer? Where I missed to notice?

"You already ate three. I think that's enough." He sternly told her like scolding his own child.

"What? Three.." Three pairs of eyes looked in my direction. "Mommy!!" She held her hand up and ran towards me. Instead of stretching my hand, I folded my arms against my chest and looked down at her with a narrow eye.

"How many times do I want to remind you of hooking with strangers?" I directly threw my question at my soon to be four years old kid.

I don't care where I am. If it had anything related to my child I will prefer the side of my motherhood than the employee position, that doesn't matter if I'm standing between the bunch of peoples nor the CEO of this company.

"But she is with me, I'm not a stranger." Karan drew Sweety closer to him and held his hand challenging me with his stern look which he inherited from his uncle.

"What is this for?" I narrowed my eyes directly towards Kayish who has a smirk plastered on his face which anytime soon wiped off his face.
