My eyes widened at what he said. I thought he wouldn't agree!
"Really?" I asked happily.
He smiled and nodded.
"If that's what makes you happy," he said.
"Thank you," I softly said.
"Is there a reason why you hired me?" he asked while looking at my lips.
I shifted my weight and cough. Sometimes, I caught him watching my hands and now he's looking my lips.
I bite my lips.
"You already know Maggie, right?"
He nodded.
"Her fiancé was my ex-boyfriend." I sighed.
He looked surprised.
"We've been friends since kindergarten but it wasn't long before she moved to US..." I paused for a while and he was watching me intently.
My chest beamed for a moment and took a deep breath.
"She doesn't know that I have a boyfriend because she is always busy and doesn't have time. I can't blame her if she wants to marry Chase because I'm out of there, and I don't care,"
He nodded.
"Why did you two break up?" he asked.
I looked at him.
"He cheated on me,"
He didn't say a word and slowly nodded.
"Sorry for that,"
I smiled and shook my head.
"I've moved on from him, and three years have passed," I said.
There was silence between us.
"So, what's your plan?" he asked.
"I don't want to hurt Maggie,"
I looked at him and he crossed his arms.
"What if she experiences what I experienced?" I asked him.
He didn't say a word and just nodded.
"I'm also afraid for her," I added.
Well, who knows right?
"They say once a cheater, always a cheater." I said and sighed.
I heard him laugh.
"What's so funny about that?" I asked emphatically.
"Look woman, not all men are like your ex-boyfriend. Cheating is their decision; they do what they want because they are not satisfied with just one. And your ex-boyfriend? He's an asshole." he gritted his teeth.
"I know, but you're a man too," I pouted.
He barked a laughter. I bow down. I don't know but I feel ashamed of him when he laughs at me.
"I know my principles, woman." he smirked.
I nodded at him like a little kitten.
"And it's true that men will find ways to cheat when they want to."
I remembered then how I was hurt because of what Chase did. How I caught him in bed with someone. But I realized that it's not worth to get hurt because he's an idiot.
"Hmm, maybe I'll take a leave from work." He suddenly said.
"Why?"
"Because I will work for you," he smiled as if it was funny.
