Irene Payton

I can't sleep.. My head is fill with Joel.. Joel.. and Joel..

I can't believe he's the boss of my boss for my job. I mean I love my job as a baker in France's Buffet restaurant. I swear.. I want to be mad to Joel for that.

Beth showed me in the 7 Gold Life's official website that the France's Buffet Restaurant is already mark as Cesborn's. I was shocked to see that because I thought he will leave me alone for good but somehow he still care and still do something behind my back.

I found out that he paid for my rent back in New York too.. I really want to be mad about it.

Well I mean at least.. He gave me time and freedom even though he knew that I was dating 2 guys.

It will be a lie if Joel doesn't know anything about me. Call me confidence but I know Joel so well.

I found myself dialing Joel's phone number from Paris to New York at 6 in the morning. I put my phone on my ear and found that he's not answering the phone.

He hates me.. he doesn't pick up.. he hates me..

Gosh Irene.. you're so stupid for calling him. Argh! Gosh! I squealed and screamed for being so stupid by calling him. Irene.. you need to get yor head straight okay? Irene.. I mean.. maybe he has a girlfriend right now.

Argh!! No.. Please tell me that he doesn't have a girlfriend.. Please.. Why am I being crazy? I don't know what I'm feeling right now. I'm mad and.. just.. Argh! I don't know!

I closed my eyes trying to sleep and tried to listen to music so it can help me sleep. I kept turning my body to get a really good position to sleep but I still can't sleep when suddenly my phone rang.

I quickly jumped and sat on my bed and looked at my phone. My eyes widen to see Joel's name on the screen. My hands were shaking.

"Hello." I answered.

"Hey Irene.. You called?" He answered that and I was speechless. I was more.. Argh! What's wrong with me?

"Irene?"

"Huh?"

"You called me.. is everything okay?" He asked and I found myself frozen.

"You!" Oh shoot.. it came out as a burst.

"Me why?"

"You.. You're the owner of France's Buffet Restaurant.." I said angrily.

"So?" He asked.

"So.. so.. so.. You! Argh!" I ended the call and threw the phone and he called me again. I looked in horror and I pressed the red button.

Suddenly he videocalled me.. I looked at it crazily.

I found myself pressing the green button.. Oh my gosh!!!!

"Irene.." I saw Joel's face on the screen.

"Go away!"

"You're the one who called me first.. are you drunk?" What?!

"Yeah I am.." I prentended to be one.

"No you're not.. So tell me why did you call me?"

"I accidently pressed your name.." That's really stupid

"Oh really?? I thought you miss me.."

"You wish.." I said rolling my eyes.

"Can you at least show me your face not the ceiling?" He asked.

"You wish.."

"How's Paris?" He asked and my eyes widen.

"How did you- right.. you're the owner of that restaurant.." I hissed.

"How can you not know that it's my restaurant? You're the one who entered it first.." He said and I was speechless.

"What?"

"I bought the share like 2 years ago." My jaw fell.. Beth is an idiot!

"Oh.."

"So how's Paris?"

"None of your business."

"You hurt my heart babe.." My breath got hitch hearing him calling me babe again.

"So.. why did you call me Irene?" He asked me in a really serious tone.

"I told you I accid-"

"Irene.. I know what kind of person you are so why bother lying?" He said and he got a point there.

"I don't even know why I called you.."

"You miss me?"

"You wish.."

"I miss you Irene.. a lot." He said in a really soft tone.. I know he's not joking or even trying to mess around.

"I miss you so much." He said.

"Will you come to Paris if I ask you to come here?" I asked.

"Will you give me a chance?" My breath got hitch when he asked that.

"I- I- I-"

"Irene.."

"Hmm?"

"You know.. my feelings for you never changes but if you keep pushing me like this.. you kn-"

"I'll give you a chance.."

"What?"

"I'll give you a chance.."

"Really?"

"Meet me in front of the Eiffel tower in 2 days at 9 p.m." I said and I found myself smiling.

"Joan.. I'm stealing the private jet.. I'm going to Paris.." I heard he called his twin.

"No! You idiot! I already bo-"

"No fucking way! I'm going to see Irene.."

"You fucking idiot! Don't even-"

"Ouw! Joan!" I heard the twins bickering.

"Don't you dare take the private jet!"

"I'll buy you a car.." My eyes widen when Joel offered Joan a new car just for her to give the private jet for him to use.

"Whatever I want?" Joan asked.

"Record my promise.." He said and I smiled widely.

"I, Joel Cesborn.. going to buy my twin sister a car. Whatever she wants so she can give me the private jet to go to Paris to see the love of my life.. Irene Payton."

"Deal!" Joan said and she squealed.

"Go away you ugly fucking twin!" I heard Joan hissed not long after that.

"Irene?" He called me again.

"Hmm?"

"Thankyou.."

"For what?" I asked.

"Giving me a chance.."
