Risk it All [GxG]

12| smart but stupid in love

Third Person POV.

"Let's have a quick break" Ethan was in the middle of his sentences when Drea calls out for a break. His forehead creased while staring unbelievably to Drea who mercilessly cut him in the middle of his explanation.

Bella took a deep breath while continuously massaging her temple and at the back of her mind, she's relieved that Andrea call out for a break because she couldn't concentrate. Not when her head is heavily throbbing this morning that she had the urge to throw up with empty stomach, at the same time feeling cold all over her body and the blazer she wore is not helping "are you okay?" Andrea lowly asking while everyone is standing up but Erin is noticing Bella drowsy eye.

She is sick, Erin has already figured it out from just one look this morning and left a medicine pill in the kitchen counter this morning but Bella ignored it. Typical of Bella, she's not fond of taking medicine and Erin remembering how they fought about it before.

"Just.....a little bit cold but I'm fine" Bella says reassuringly but imminently lying.

"Yeah? You look like Bella Swan when she was pregnant with Renesmeé" Andrea sarcastically commented.

Yet it earned a small smile from Bella, "wow I never saw you like the type of girl watching twilight"

"I'm team Jacob" Drea jokingly reply.

"What? Have you seen Edward? That guy is sparkling, like literally" and little did they know they were getting few attention from their interaction.

Ethan never saw Andrea being loose like this especially when she's working. She always has this dense and strict vibe but watching her exchanging banter with Bella is a new scene.

"But seriously, take a rest Isabella. It's too early to file a sick leave, I need my operation manager all the time"

"Maybe" Ethan getting the two girls attention with his index finger lifting up while approaching then "We are building not just a store but a romance along the way" he says between wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

Apparently Andrea returned her dense expression and seriously staring back to Ethan who's smiling smugly "Double check your number Mr. Lim, do you think I didn't notice your miscomputation?" She stated, raising a brow at him.

"So, this is us huh Ms. McCarty? Ms. Reeds gets special treatment and your childhood crush is being thrown to the side?" Ethan narrowing his eyes to his best friend for giving him a cold shoulder.

"What?" Bella chiming interestingly to both of them "You have a crush to Ethan?"

"Before" Andrea finishing the sentence while sharply eyeing Ethan triumphant smirk "When I wasn't aware that there are what we call people outside our house"

Ethan conceitedly shrugged it off, "Whatever, I was still once your crush"

Bella is enjoying the two, she never get to laugh or smile at work before. Especially Drake is being an asshole most of the time—she rather opted to do all of the work and finished it all on time than staying late around Drake but the old memories with her boss is making her feel edgy.

"Get your things" Drea commanding as she stands up to grab her car keys

"Whwhy?"

Andrea turning around to face Bella confusion "let's get you home and Ethan continue the meeting and just send me the minutes of meeting"

From a far Erin is watching Bella protesting about going home. Clearly she don't want it while Ethan has the amusement in his face while watching Andrea arranging her things.
