"Kellen." Sean looked at him. "I just... want to talk to her. Even just for five minutes."

I looked at Mr. Parker. He doesn't look angry but he's also not happy to see Sean. I don't want their friendship as cousins to be destroyed because of me. But for that not to happen, Sean needs to understand the situation. I hope he will.

"I'll call you later, I promise," I said, looking at Mr. Parker. What I've said calmed him down and he seem to be okay with it so he just nodded.

"I'll go ahead," he said to us. He looks like he want to say something to Sean but couldn't. I do think that it's uncomfortable for them to talk in front of me. He then walked towards his car behind driving away.

I'm grateful that even we're already together, he doesn't forbid me to talk to Sean. I chose him and I think it's the reason why.

And there, I was left with Sean. I can see in his eyes that he really wants to fix this thing between us.

"Thank you," he said. 

He probably did not expect me to let him talk to me after what happened yesterday. I also think that talking to him would be a good decision to make things clear between the two of us.

"Can we grab some drink?" he asked nicely and I simply nodded to agree.

...

We went to the nearest coffee shop and we sit on a table where we can privately talk without any distractions. Luckily, the place isn't crowded so we can hear each other clearly.

"I'm sorry for how I acted last night. I know, I'm just someone whom you randomly knew and it's not your fault that… I like you."

He sounded so apologetic. I don't demand a sorry from him but I just didn't know that he's the kind of guy that wants to get what he wants, even using the wrong way.

"I understand, Sean. And I'm sorry if I can't give what you want. I just… can't," I told him, looking down on my drink that I haven't consumed yet. I actually feel bad about telling him this but I need to. I don't want his feelings to get deeper, especially because I'm not there to catch him if he falls.

"I know. You're with Kellen now, am I right?" he asked using a normal voice. I'm expecting he'd ask.

I just nodded, getting out of words. Now, I'm remembering the day when I first met him. He was so nice and that's what I see on him right now which gives me another reason to feel bad for letting him down. But I can't also force myself to like someone I don't like. I'll just be hurting him if I do that.

"I respect your decision, Liv. I really do. And I'm happy for you," he said and gave me a sad smile.

"Thank you," I almost whispered, not knowing what to say anymore.

"But we can still be friends, right?" he asked me, hesitating before he put his cup down.

"Of course, Sean. I'd love that," I answered sincerely. I'm happy that we're okay now. It feels so much better.

"And Camille? She really likes you," he said, smiling.

"Tell her I'll always keep in touch." I've always wanted to have friends. I'm lucky that Camille reaches out to me like I'm already her best friend.



I took a shower before doing my regular skin care. It's 10 PM and I still haven't talked to Mr. Parker. I hope he's still awake. I sat on my bed before getting my phone from the bedside table. I dialed his number and I laughed when he answered it immediately after one ring.

"I hope I did not wake you up," I said and leaned on my headboard.

"I'm sitting on my couch for three hours, waiting for your call. I was arguing with myself if I should call you or should I just wait. Thankfully, I stopped myself from calling you first." I laughed again when he said that. I can really feel that he wants to talk to me as much as I do. "Well, how did it go?"

"I feel better. Sean and I are okay now, and I was hoping that the two of you will talk too. If it wasn't for me, you and him won't have a problem," I explained. 

Before I came, I know that they treat each other like brothers, including Mr. Whitmore. I don't blame myself because I know that Mr. Parker won't like the idea of that. It's just that I don't want their relationship to be destroyed just like that.

"We don't have a problem that needed to be fixed, Liv," he said, not getting my point here.

I'm assuming he might say that. Men are difficult to deal with but for someone who became special to me, his problem is also my problem now.

"I doubt that. I'm guessing you didn't even talk to him last night before we go home," I said, to make him remember. "Look, I don't want that you're having a feud with him."

"I know. I'll talk to him, I promise," he answered.



The next day, I wasn't sure if Mr. Parker will talk to Sean as what he said yesterday. He was quiet earlier when I entered his office and I have no idea why. I was about to talk to him when I remembered that we had a deal. A deal that we won't bring personal matters when we're at work.

I stood up to make him his snack. Just when I thought that the person making his own coffee is one of my colleagues, Mr. Parker turned around and faced me. What is he doing?

"I'm supposed to do that, Sir," I said as I look at him while he's mixing his coffee.

"Not anymore," he answered, not looking at me. I noticed that he's making two cups of it. Is he sleepy today?

When he was done mixing it both, he suddenly grabbed the other one and he was giving it to me. "Do you want me to put it on a tray, Sir?" I asked him while holding the cup.

"No. I made that for you," he said and smiled. "Have a great day," he said before walking away with his coffee and a plate of biscuits.

What did just happen? Did he just make my job? Or doesn't he like the way how I make coffee? I was thinking of it while sipping the one he made for me. It's a different one, a herbal coffee. He knows that I like it? I did not even tell him about it.

After eleven hours of work, Mr. Parker drove me home. It feels different today. He's not acting weird but I felt like he's changing somehow. He became quiet and it seems like he's always distracting himself by working. Is something wrong?



Today is my day off and Summer and I planned eating on our favorite restaurant in Brooklyn. I'm shocked that she already knows how to drive. I'm guessing Dylan gave her a free lesson too. Only that she's a fast learner compare to me. 

"Slow down, Summer," I said when I felt that we're getting a little too fast on the road. I'm sitting on the front while she's driving. She already knows the way because we usually eat there every Saturday when I'm still in the publishing company that Mike owns. Speaking of, Isla called me to tell me the news. Mike and the bitch who got me fired have already broken up. I don't know if it's a bad or good news, though. I don't really care about it anymore. Plus, I'm happy with my life now.

"Calm down, Liv. There are no cars in here," she said, laughing at my reaction.

After an hour of travelling, we already arrived where we'll eat our lunch. After she parked the car, we went straight inside. A lot of tables are occupied but it's also not crowded.

We were walking towards our chosen table and I was shocked by whom I saw. Mr. Whitmore is here with a girl and he's holding her hand. I'm pretty sure that's not Alice.
