Beautiful

Chapter 5

Beam's pov:

Ming and went to the company together the next day.

I had called the nanny to come to the house and keep Ella company.

"Make sure to eat the lunch I prepared for you on time. And don't forget to drink water. If you start feeling even a bit dizzy, stop working and take a break. Buy a few snacks from the vending machine if you get hungry before or after lunch. Don't worry about the money." I ranted after we stopped in the parking lot.

"Khrab." He nodded obediently.

Fern was already there when I got out of the elevator on the top floor.

She raised her eyebrows when she saw me.

"What?" I looked at her confused.

"Someone's glowing. Did something good happen?" She grinned widely.

I blinked.

Glowing?

"Yes, you are glowing. Something good happened." She followed me as I went into my office.

Something good?

My thoughts automatically wandered to yesterday.

How I played and watched movies with Ella and Ming the whole day.

I guess that could be counted as something good.

"So spill." She looked at me waiting.

I sighed.

She isn't going to budge until I tell her the truth. She will catch on easily if I lie.

So I had no choice but to tell her everything that had happened.

Her jaw was hanging low by the end of it.

"You like him."

I frowned. "Where did you get that conclusion from?"

She quickly sat down on the chair in front of me.

"Beam. You haven't let anyone stay at your place for years. Even your cousins Forth and Kit aren't allowed to do that. Even me, your best friend isn't allowed to. AND you cooked for him? Yet you brought him to your place and even made him move in there and offered to help him find a place for him."

I blinked.

"And you should see your expression when you were talking about him. You were glowing. Your eyes were shining. It's not a face you make when you talk about someone you're just helping out of kindness." She added.

I bit my lips.

Really? I like him?

But I've only known him for a day...

"Ok. Then let's do this." She took my hands.

"Close your eyes." She said.

I followed.

"Think about the person that makes your heart flutter."

The first person that came to mind when I heard her say that was him.

His laugh, his smile, his gentle tone, and his manner.

Oh, I'm fucked.

I opened my eyes and slammed my head on the desk.

"Damn. This is so unexpected." She chuckled.

"Don't laugh... I'm in a complicated situation here..." I looked at her and muttered.
