"No wonder you spilled your coffee twice on yourself. Your clumsy ass can't even watch where you're going to even bump into me," August's voice is as annoying as when I heard it this morning when he literally tossed me out of my mattress to yell at me at our little gym in the basement as my trainer.

I push his chest and lift my finger to nudge his chest, wanting to say something as anger pools into my chest. Charlotte clears her voice.

"Hi, August," Charlotte interrupts me, reminding me we are in an office space full of people watching.

I pull my finger from his chest and cool my features to look normal as August gives me a smug smile, knowing I can't rip another hole in him when everyone in the office is looking. Charlotte bats her light eyelashes darkened with mascara at him as she twists her hands behind her back and bites her lip like a schoolgirl with a crush.

Charlotte's had a crush on August since we were kids. It never fails to make her blush when she looks at him, yet he never goes for her for some reason.

He turns his gaze to her and gives her a smirk, his charm affecting her without a word being said, "If you don't stop trying to fuck my best friend, I'll slap you right now even with all these people watching," I grit through my teeth with a low voice to almost a whisper.

He turns his gaze to me with an annoying smile and slings his arm over my shoulder with his annoying boyish chuckle, "Awe, sis, you can't be telling me to not work my charm. You know I have no control over it. Plus, you know how much the ladies love me," He flashes his sharp smile which shows his white canines as he scans the room with most of my co-workers watching him and blushing thinking that he's smiling at them.

I push his arm off my shoulder, "Don't touch me," I spit before I push past him and walk down the pathway, passing the many desks to get to mine.

"Since you obviously are empty-handed, what are you even doing here," I say, knowing him and Charlotte are following me, "Don't you have a diamond business empire to run instead of bugging me?"

I sit down at my desk, put my makeup bag back in my locked drawer, and log onto my computer to do some work.

Charlotte sits at her desk next to mine, still goggling August, and Roger sits across from me at his desk. An empty desk sits next to mine which August takes advantage of by bringing that chair over to my desk and sitting backward in the chair next to mine.

"Of course I do, but can't I come just to see my little sister?" He picks up a picture of me and him.

Him wearing the same outfit as he has on now and I'm wearing a blue sparkled dress with black fishnets underneath and a pair of blue heels. That was a picture that we took three years ago, looking like a pair of normal twin siblings. So much has changed since then.

I roll my eyes while snatching the picture from his hands and placing it back on the thumbtack on the wall, "I'm only little by two minutes apart, and I'm sure you're here just to see me. You always want something when you visit me empty-handed."
