LOGINNATHALIE / SOFIA’S POV š
-
I saw myself staring in the mirror after getting ready.
Four years have come and gone, but never once in all that time did I put on anything other than casual clothes.
Not until today -- when I’ve not only dressed in something more special and my hair is also styled for the first time in forever.
Over the past four years, I honestly can’t remember when was the last time I even put any powder on my face. I t
NATHALIE’S POV š-It has been almost four weeks since Calix left the apartment and said he would process his annulment.It’s been nearly four weeks since we last talked. I miss him deeply and I can’t help but feel anxious.“Nat,”I looked at Harrison who was in the driver’s seat.It is Xander’s follow-up appointment.As with the past three checkups, Harrison accompanied us.We were supposed to go to the hospital three days ago, but I felt unwell.Fortunately, Dr. Enriquez’s schedule was not affected for the delay in our arrival.“Don’t get too tired. The doctor just said you should rest.” Harrison reminded me.I went for a check-up too, and the Doctor told me I’m feeling this way because I’m overtired.“I won’t tire myself out anymore,” I confirm him.
{ š» }-It was 11 AM when Harrison arrived at Smith Pharmaceutical company.“Sorry for arriving late,” he said, apologizing to Anthony as he waited inside his office.“It’s perfectly fine, Mr. Harrison,” Anthony said gently, with no ill will.“What do you need from Calix?” Harrison asked, getting straight to the point.Anthony explained what he needed — about the large sum of money to be returned to Calix.Harrison is half-convinced, half-doubtful of the reason Anthony gave.“Money?” Harrison asked with a grin. “It’s so obvious this isn’t just about money. What is your real reason for wanting to talk to Calix in person?”Anthony was no longer surprised Harrison was suspicious of him. Because it occurred to both,, if the only reason was money, he could easily hand it over to Harrison.“I beg your pardon, Mr.
š»-Harrison catches Elton, his father, eating breakfast.The bodyguards lining the ground floor of the mansion that Harrison passed through picked up on his furious aura, instantly grew wary and alert.Elton was surprised to see his son, but he hid it as well as the smile.“You ended coming home?” Elton said, making it seem like he didn’t care at all about his child.Elton froze, his coffee halfway to his mouth, as he felt Harrison’s dark, heavy stare upon him.“You goddamn worthless piece of shit!” Harrison shouted angrily as he confronted him.The moment Harrison drew near his father Elton, he was seized by the collar and roughly pulled to his feet.Harrison pulled the medication from his pants pocket and slapped Elton’s face over and over.As soon as blood appeared at Elton’s mouth, the two bodyguards closed in instantly and took hold of Harrison’s arms on
NATHALIE’S POV š-“Harrison, here” I gave Calix’s vitamin.I also handed him paper bag with the to go box.After getting hold of the paper bag, he looked inside it.“Food?”“I had the idea of making you pancakes for your breakfast.”“Thank you, Nat. You really are the best.”“You’re making light of it, but it’s nowhere near enough. Considering how much you’ve helped me, even a million pancakes couldn’t fully repay what I owe you.”“I don’t ask for anything in return. Helping you makes me happy, and seeing you means even more. But if you’re cooking up a million pancakes? I might just have to start charging you.”
NATHALIE’S POV š-Once I was done cleaning the apartment and had a bath, I checked the TV cabinet and noticed something there.I went over to the TV and confirmed what I saw.Calix had left his vitamins.I took my phone from the center table.I was about to call his phone number when I remembered I wasn’t allowed to call him until he returned or his marriage to Veronica was annulled.I decided to just call Harrison’s contact number.“Hm?”Surprisingly, he didn’t answer my call even though I had called him three times.I called Harrison on the internet-based call and he answered it immediately after one call.He requested a video call which I accepted.
