Andra Erlina Milburn’s Point of View
Her reaction was priceless the same as what I showed her. Honestly, I just came here to come and pick some of my things. Most of it was here since I’m staying in his penthouse and he’s okay with that, though I was still doing household chores especially when Felicia wasn’t around.
The smile on her face suddenly subsided when she saw me and I did the same. Part of me were scared of her knowing my relationship with him since they are friends and she’s one of my prof I don’t like. Well, I do have a lot of terror professors and someone I hate yet this is the first time I started to feel an extreme irritation towards someone I hate.
A lot of them are annoying yet this one is the one I’m saying that turned another level of annoyance inside me. She has been the reason why I am here and couldn’t be able to say words right in front of me.
“Miss Milburn,” she asserted casually whilst looking at me like nothing happened.
I immediately took the paper back I’m holding at my back. Slowly, I saw her gaze, went to Zacarias and then went on mine.
“Prof…” I asserted.
“What are you doing here?” suspicion was found in her voice.
Well, I can’t just tell her that I am staying here since it was inappropriate and not the right word to say. My hands were getting cold, my fingers were kind of controlling me and my feet started to move backwards. I was shaking, my knees and fingers were, actually. Seeing how her curious eyes suddenly pressured me.
I can’t give her an answer she will be liking. But then, I tried thinking of more ideas and what am I gonna tell her when I think of a lousy idea that surely Prof Bianca wouldn’t question and suspect.
“Oh, I am working for Mr. Sterlington as his cleaner. I was on my way going home though, I’m done cleaning the house,” I lied.
Zacarias’ eyes suddenly became small like he didn’t like what I just said. Her eyebrows arched then crossed her arms. “Housekeeper, huh,” she repeated. “What’s the thing behind your back?”
I ceased, bit my lower lip while thinking what answer is good on telling her. “U-Uh… it is just the things Mr. Sterlington asked me to throw.”
Zacarias seemed like he didn’t want what I was saying so instead of Bianca speaking, he did. “Bianca will just drop by here to get the papers she requested from me. Stay here and wait, we’ll talk,” he said seriously towards me.
I gulped and stared at him coldly. “No need, sir. Besides, I believe that the two of you deserve a private time together. I’ll be off now, then,” I said, which made Bianca furrow her eyebrows with a sly smirk on her face.
I noticed how his face changed. He seemed irritated. I didn’t wait for his response but instead, I just strode towards where the door was and vanished in front of them. I was walking fast, I didn’t like what I saw and yet, he still has the courage to tell me to wait for him so that I can watch how Bianca and he would flirt with each other.
No thanks!
The irritation I felt didn’t vanished until I am now at the ground floor. I don’t know why I feel bitter today. I don’t know why my taste suddenly felt sour. As I was walking down the stairs up to outside, I suddenly got curious what type pf papers he has been talking about.
Believe me, I wasn’t nosy yet what made me one was him, I wanted to know what paper is that yet I don’t know how to say and has no idea whether to just go back upstairs or just continue moving forward.
A subtle whiff came out of my mouth. I was disappointed, badly disappointed yet I don’t have any power to feel that. In order to have my own peace of mind, I just decided to come to the hospital quick for him not to see me.
I admit, I’m worrying that Bianca Li would ask me again about something in regards to what she has seen in his penthouse. For sure, everyone would say something bad about me and one of my weaknesses were like those comments. Even if I’m already old for this, it still hurts me.
Whilst I was in the cab, I was just looking at the window until I finally arrived back at the hospital again. I was about to go in when my phone vibrated. When I saw who it was, it was a text message from Chesca asking if I was free today. Since I chose to reply back as soon as possible, I didn’t even know that I’m going to bump into someone already.
“Oh my!” I reacted.
Slowly, I hoisted my gazes and was shocked on seeing who it was. The familiar masculine figure, the tall and fresh looking man suddenly showed up in front. The worriedness in his face registered as well as how his glimmering eyes suddenly turned into a shocked one.
Seeing the famous Calvin Tegan in front of me suddenly made me shut my mouth.
“I’m sorry, did I hurt you?” he asked, a bit worried.
I became starstruck at first but shook my head afterwards. “N-No… I should be the one who’s saying sorry. I got busy replying a friend. I’m s-sorry…” I whispered, almost.
He only nodded his head at me and didn’t bother answering the same topic but instead, he opened a new one.
“You’re Andra Erlina, right? The one who accidentally tagged me into a post?” he asserted.
Due to what he was saying, my fingers started to shake as the only thing I just did was to look down and see if he’s being serious to me or not. Before anything else, he was about to say something again when I ceased him using my own words.
“I-I’m sorry. Believe me! It’s just a mistake. I didn’t mean to harm you or even divert their attention to me-”
I didn’t finished the one I’m saying but instead, he cut me off. “How about going out for a coffee? Or anything you like?” he asked casually.
