MAGNOLIA POV
Why will he want us to have se*x in the office?
It’s so outrageous and cheap.
I held his hand and turned to him.
” We should not do this Maynard, This is a place of work ”
” Whatever “He huffed and release my dress.
I took a deep breath before running out of the office to make his coffee.
BREA POV
Getting to the abadoned building, I met Cody waiting for me already.
He look so agitated and impatient, What’s wrong?
” You called “I said immediately I got there.
He offered me a seat and nodded.
” Yes, Because there’s a big trouble “He muttered impatiently and I scoffed.
” Big trouble?, What’s that? “I asked and he sighed.
” This, Royce is still alive, My boys found him in a club last night, Drinking, I think he has a mission ”
” I thought he was dead when he backed off the plan, How come?, You told me you rectified this, Cody ”
“We rectified it, Royce, You kil*led him with a dagger yourself, And there’s no way we won’t have problem with this, Trust me, His coming back won’t be easy “He explained, I could see fear in his eyes.
Who won’t fear him?, Royce was one of my brother’s boys, Whom Mr. Alvarez introduced him to.
He has been a good man to Royce, But when my brother mapped out another plan, He backed off and we kil*led him since he will be a big obstacle to us.
” What did you think we should do? “I asked closing my eyes and he shook his head.
” I don’t know, I don’t know ”
” Maybe we should talk things out with him then, There’s no way we can do this without him, Our plans are almost accomplished, Cody, We can’t back out now ”
” I need to think about this first before accepting to go into your plan, I and Royce were good friends before you came into the picture and ruined everything, Let me think first, Let me think ”
” Have you informed my brother about it? “I asked impatiently and he shook his head.
” No, I’m not ready to tell him anything, He won’t help ”
” I know he won’t help, And that’s the reason why we need your help, I need your help, Cody, And I’m sure you will help me ”

MAYNARD POV
CLOSING TIME, 6PM.
She entered the office and bowed slightly.
” I’m here to take your bag, We should leave “She said politely and I nodded.
Mr. Mateo entered the room instead and took the bag from her.
” I will leave now “She mumbled before running out of the office.
” What’s wrong with her? “Mr. Mateo asked and I shrugged.
” I don’t know “I replied and he nodded before leaving the office.

” You mean, Maynard had se*x with you? “She asked in surprise and I nodded.
” Yes, And I didn’t regret it ”
” Of course, I never said you should regret it, You’re an adult and know what’s right and wrong for you, But be careful, Don’t get too attached ”
” What did you mean by that? “I asked and she sighed.
” I mean, This society can be dangerous for people like us, People words get to us easily, And I’m sure you don’t want to tarnish The Alvarez image with your own hands, Don’t get too attached, You guys are not compatible ”
” I know, And I’m not disputing to that “o snapped and clean my eyes.
There’s no way I can tell Fleur that I have feelings for Maynard, She will shun me, And there’s nothing I can do about it.
Geez!
” How about Gael? “She asked and I shrugged.
” I don’t know, I’m leaving “I mumbled before running out of the restaurant without waiting for her.
Getting outside, I cleaned the tears running down my face, Thank God no one is watching.
” Even if I’m not going to end up with him, I will make sure I get what I deserve with the little time I have left ”
” Use this “A cold voice whispered softly behind me and I gasped.
Maynard.
” What are you doing here? “I asked and he laughed.
” Nothing much, I have something important to do in the hotel behind this restaurant, Then, I saw you crying, Is that your hobby? “He asked folding his arms and I chuckled.
” Maynard, I….. ”
” Don’t say anything, I promise not to hurt you Magnolia, I don’t know if we are going to end up together, But with the little time we are going to spend together, I will make sure you don’t regret meeting me, I promise “he assured, I stood on my toes and planted a kiss on his cheeks.
He cracked and I blushed.
” Thank you “I mumbled and he nodded.
” I haven’t forgotten the fact that you turned me down this morning “He huffed.
” I will take you home “He offered his hand, I collected it before going with him in the car.

” Good evening Dad “I greeted politely.
” How was your day? “He asked softly and I nodded.
” It was fine, And yours? ”
” Lively, Mrs. Cora is the best, I wished I can stay here a liite bit longer but I have to go home ”
” And who said I’m letting you go back to that witch?, Dad, I know this won’t go down well with you but I don’t want you to have anything to do with Brea again, I don’t want your health issues to get worse ”
” I know you’re doing this for my sake, But there’s no way I can leave my wife in the mansion ”
” The wife that doesn’t give you peace of mind?, Wait, How do you even think? “I rasped and he nodded.
” I…”
” You’re not leaving this penthouse without my permission, Mrs. Cora is here for you, I’m here for you and the guards are here for you as well, I have nothing to say about this and I don’t want you to bring up the topic anymore, Goodnight”
