Hendrix's Pov
"This will be a great deal if we will push this---"
I pressed my lips together as I hardly thinking about what I should message to Vin. I want to know what she's doing. I know she's working, but I already miss her.
F*ck. I'm so clingy and cheesy. She won't like it, right?
I am on nearby country to connect and have a meeting with some of our business partners, and I still haven't spent a day there, but I already want to go home and meet her.
This is something I didn't expect to feel towards another person. I'm always self-reliant, and I don't care that much about other people, but she's different. She's making me insane and crazy about her. And no one can do it except her.
I smiled when her message popped up before I could even send mine.
________
From: Vin
Hi! What are you doin? :)))
_______
Is it her cuteness or sweetness? I don't know. But I really like her.
_______
To: Vin
Meeting. How about you?
______
After she broke up with me before, I knew something had changed in me. That's why I promised myself that I wouldn't let her break my heart again nor any other woman. But here am I right now. Giggling like a f*cking teenager just because of a single text. She has the power to make me turn upside down and come back to her, even after she broke my heart before.
______
From: Vin
Your brother is here?
______
She texted next before I could reply. So he really came, huh? That's new. I thought he wouldn't.
I was about to reply when I heard a cough. I raised my head only to see that I was the center of attention. Everyone in the conference room were looking at me seriously. I cleared my throat and immediately put my phone on the table. This is kind of embarrassing.
"Sorry. Can we continue, please?" I said it in a serious tone. I hope the time will run fast.
Vin's Pov
He didn't reply. Maybe he's already busy? I should stop texting him then. I tapped my fingers on the table while drinking my coffee. I already finished my task today and just waiting a bit to go home.
I sneezed. Then my eyes went to the CEO office, Felix went out there. He's still wearing his sunglasses while talking on a phone. I sipped on my drink when he walked like he was on a runway. And I am telling you, he walked out of the office several times. And I believe he is just trying to draw everyone's attention to him. And I admit, its' effective. Women on our wing and in the right wing would stretch their neck like a giraffe just to look at him. He has a lot of self confidence in him. So high that no one can reach it. Tsk.
I realized that maybe Hendrix talked him to become a replacement for a while. But I pity Henrdix for his decision. He shouldn't ask that bastard because he doesn't know anything but to only show off his appearance and boss around everyone.
I was trying to nap for a few minutes, but then he came in again. And I thought he would pass by, but he stopped and looked directly at my cubicle. He stood there for a couple of seconds before he went into his office. What is he doing?
"Ms. Vivienne?"
I stood up immediately when Hendrix's secretary, Anna came in to me.
"Yes?" I smiled to her too, even though my nose and head are aching.
She fixed her eyeglasses and gave me a bunch of papers. "I'm sorry, but Mr. Felix wants you to finish this today. It's urgent, and he needs it today." She was a bit hesitant. Maybe she saw my smile wiped out.
"H-Huh?" I mumbled and looked at the papers like tower. "How can I finish this..." I shut my eyes. I want to curse that f*cking bastard, but I shouldn't. I should calm myself down. "Okay." I replied.
She gave me a face of sympathy before she left my cubicle. And like butter, I melted on my chair. I am damn sure, he's doing this on purpose. He wants to annoy me. It's almost five! How can I finish all of this in just a few minutes? Don't tell me he, wants me to take over time?
I licked my lips. Relax, Vin. Breathe in, breathe out. He is just an annoying obstacle in life, Vin. You shouldn't let him win over you.
So I have no choice but to do it over time just to finish it. I'm not even sure if I can finish all of them.
"Vin? Aren't you going home?" Five came, and my officemates are already going home.
I smiled weakly at them. I really and badly want to go home and rest, but I can't. "I need to do this. Mr. Felix said that this is urgent." I replied.
"Really? Do you want a hand?" Andrian asked with a smile. And it's so tempting. I want his help, but I know it would be unfair to him, so I shook my head and replied, "Thank you, Andrian, but...I can do this. If I won't finish them all today, then... at least a half? I'll just continue it tomorrow."
I'll just hope that I'll survive it.
He pursed his lips as if he really torn on leaving and helping me. In the end, I left alone on the left wing. No one did an over time except me. I wandered my eyes to the empty cubicles before I refilled my coffee and went back to my table, but I almost got out of balance thanks to my stiletto. I cursed, took a breath, and looked at the papers. I don't think I can finish them. I don't really feel okay. My sweats are cold, and my vision is doubling. I am dying.
"Are you already done with the papers?"
The bastard suddenly popped out in between of me passing out and throwing out. His brows furrowed when he saw my state. "Are you okay?"
I snorted at him. "Do I f*cking look okay?" I said it, but in a weak and almost whispering tone.
Before I could dodge his hands away, he had already reached my forehead. His eyes widened, and a curse let out from his mouth.
"What the f*ck, Vin? You have a fever?" He exclaimed.
