BRIANNA'S P.O.V.
Walking down the road with both of my hands behind my back, I turned to the man taking little steps beside me. He was looking on the ground, hands inside his pockets and bangs draping on his forehead.
"Are you... okay?" I asked softly, searching for his blue eyes but he swiftly turned away. I sighed.
"I'm sorry.." I blurted and he looked at me. "I'm really sorry for deciding on my own... I know that you really didn't want everyone to misunderstand but, I don't want them to corner you like that, Con."
I heard him chuckling, but that doesn't sound like a laugh. It is more like, Connor is masking up the pain in his heart.
"The truth is.." he spoke. "I felt really glad when you told them that we're together."
"Huh?"
"What I said were all true.. I really didn't want to get in between Riley and Yojan. I may be her first love but that was over. Three years has already passed so I should really be over her.."
"But you're not?"
He laughed again, looking up at the dark sky with a deep sigh. "Yeah.. I really am not."
He's sad... no, he's hurting. Connor is broken.
"And I honestly don't know why.. even if I try, Yojan really is the only one for me. I don't really want to ruin what they have.. but every time I see her, I cannot help the greed I have inside of me.."
We stopped walking. Connor was obviously not here with me.. but with Yojan. He is clearly thinking about her right now, even though I am the one who is with him. His heart and mind, is always, has always been, and will always be, with Yojan.
"I love her.."
"Conno-"
He chuckled to himself with a scratch on his head.
"I love her, damn it.."

But every time I see her, I cannot help the greed I have inside of me..
That is some love over there..
I can't believe that somebody could love someone like that.. I mean sure, I loved somebody before but it didn't take me a very long time to get over it. I guess someone who loves strongly like that really exist. Connor is the living proof.
"Oh good morning, Brianna!"
"Good morning!" I replied.
Back to work. I am done being Before You Exit's stylist which means, I'll be working on-site again. This morning, I woke up later than my alarm so I am really running late. My boss will give me a scolding if I don't show up at the office by 8!
"Late again, aren't we?" Shaun blurted as we both got on the elevator.
I swallowed. "Thanks for holding the elevator for me.. I really appreciate it. I can imagine the boss with brows creased, hissing at me.." Shaun laughed at my comment.
"Has Odette ever raised her voice on you?"
I sighed. "Yes.. especially when she gets reports on me being late. I really think there is someone watching over me and telling her about me.."
"It's quite hard to imagine Odette being mad. I have known her since we were ten, I hardly ever see her angry. Not until she sees Nathalia cry."
