Braille's Pov

"My ghaaad, Braille. Your driver is handsome. Maybe you can introduce me," my witchy bff was thrilled to meet him.

Well, when did I forget the shame she did last night? We almost perished. It's a good thing I went otherwise, there's a problem will happen.


"He's not my driver! Your eyes are really clear when it comes to men!" I said.

"Eh, the who is he? A boyfriend?"

"He's my stepbrother."

It's like I made a mistake telling the truth because it stuck to me even more.

"You are annoying when it comes to the story. You didn't even introduce me to your stepbrother," she seemed to guilt trip.

I just ignored her. I was busy while she was still talking but I didn't speak.

"Braille!"

I stopped when she called me again, "what?"

"Who brought me to the apartment last night?" she asked that made me froze.

This time, I gaped. Even me, I don't know the answer. But I remembered what mom said earlier as well "hung-over?"

I shook my head. I also take a breath before speaking.

"Nice, inhale, exhale," then I hit her.

She scratched her head.

"Next time, if you drink, can it be in your apartment? You're heavy," I answered her question.

"Maybe that's why they're leaving me because I'm getting fat," she started to dramatize again.

"Enough that man! I'm the only one you can love."

She just laughed at me. What's funny?

"We're the same!"

Anyway, this girl is really stupid, so it's a waste of effort to dramatize it. Well, she's just being dramatic when she gets drunk or maybe she's from a heartbreak.

"Excuse me, do you have size 10 of this?" I heard the customer's question so I turned my back on Felis.


"Yes, we have sir."

Of course, I looked for it, it's a waste if I don't.

"Hey, that's you, Braille," that's why I raised my head.

"Do you know each other?"

Because I'm confused. He extended his hand, "I'm your brother's best friend," he introduced himself while smiling.

Brother? When i have a brother? Oh, my!

"Correction, stepbrother! Sorry I do not know you," with a fake smile.

"I'm Joshua."

Well, he introduced himself. I just stared at him. He is handsome. She has beautiful eyes, a sharp nose and above all, red lips. Those kissable lips. Shit! Where is that from? He looks like a womanizer.

I just ignored him. I continued what I was doing. When I found what I was looking for, I immediately put it on the shelf so that he could choose and leave.

"Just choose!"

But he didn't choose from the ones I asked him to choose, "I will choose you," the idiot was still smiling.

'if you weren't a customer I would have thrown them in your face!' I said in my mind.

"Braille, Your customer is handsome!" whispered my co-worker and poked my side so I looked at her evilly.

"Let's exchange our positions. You take care of this first," I said then turned away.

"Ah, what do you want, sir?" I heard Felis say and obviously softened his speech.

Rude customers drain my patience, so this is what I do when I can't control my temper. But I didn't expect someone to hold my hand which surprised me that's why I hit whoever it was.

"You're a sadist!" his complaint.

I turned to him and saw him rubbing his cheek where my hand hit. I was surprised that's why I stepped back, "h-how did you get in here?"

"Sorry. My aunt own this shop that's how I get in here," he said with a grin.

"You are Madam Jade's nephew?" I shocked.

"Yah. So if you don't talk to me right now, I tell her that you can't leave here," he even scared me.

"Wait, I think it's the other way around."

"I know you will be working as Drake's secretary in their company."

"Are you a stalker?"

He shook his head, "Nope. Like what I've told you earlier, I am your brother's best friend."

I washed up my face. What a trip is this, man?

Of course, to stop nagging, we talked. When you're just having fun, right? Madam Jade laughed out loud at this Joshua's nonsense.

"I never thought that that bitch would have a stepsister," still laughing.

"I didn't expect it either," I don't feel like answering. "What are you really aiming for?" I narrowed my eyes at him.

"You're cute."

My eyes widened so I looked away.

"Why're you blushing? You're more than cuter."

"Can you please stop? You're just wasting my time."

He laughed again.

Just come here to tease me. He also took the ring that the size was asked about earlier. He said it was a gift to his friend. Friend or girlfriend? There is also an event later with my stepbrother. He also mentions the word "your brother" several times so it's a bit weird to my ears. Because I never called anyone my brother. Drake's first time if I call him big brother. But maybe there's nothing wrong if I call him brother.

We also talked about the upcoming wedding of mom and daddy Robert. Wow you are a daddy now. Level up yarn! So I remembered what mom said that they were leaving. It was after the wedding. It's probably a honeymoon. They said it would take about a month. That's the duration of the honeymoon. Where is that? Oh, in Japan.

I want to come along. Just walk around and take pictures. But it's not possible. Because when they left, that was also my first day as Drake's secretary. I was even able to say goodbye to Joshua with me. He told the story so I didn't waste my saliva. That's what he really came here for. He said he was ordered. Well, this guy is ok. Looks like we'll get along. Same vibes.

Felis was sad when I said goodbye but I told her that I would just visit his apartment. Then the naughty one also intervened.

"I'll date you so you won't be sad," he said with a smile.

"Hey, if you have bad plans for my friend, don't go ahead with it. I don't even want to see her cry anymore because she's always hoping."

I was surprised by what came out of my mouth but I just brushed it off.

I felt Felis hug me while saying, "thank you."

Warm feeling...

Can't wait in wedding...?
