A.N: I want to say sorry because some of the words are incomplete. What I mean by that is for example,  the word "book" becomes "boo." This happens because I'm typing and most of time I don't pay attention to the word after I finishes typing it. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that. Happy readings!! - SunnyItsRainy

Irina's POV

But it wasn't him. It was the other him. I kept my eyes on the papers that're scattered on my table. I had my back leaned straight on my chair as he entered my office. He sat on the chair in front of my table. "Hey." 

I looked up. "Hey." Then I looked down. I think I'm being too obvious if I won't  stoop acting like this. 

"Are you okay?" I felt so hot and frozen. He asked me if I was okay. I remember the last time he asked me that. It was when I messed on my History report and I got embarrassed. 

"Yes. Of course. Why wouldn't I be okay??" I tried to sound proud that I don't need him to ask if I'm okay although I know that my eyes are starting to be watery. 

"Umm. Well, remember, I saw you.. and.. well.. crying. You.. were.. crying." I didn't want to look up. Because I knew if I did, I'd burst out crying, and I would never let that happen. 

"Really? When? I don't remember." I lied.

"Oh.. you don't? That's okay," he gave me that smile, I can see the reflection of it on the table. I remember that smile, that's the smile that made me fall in love with him. "Well, you can tell me if you have any problem. Just come talk to me, I might be able to help." 

He stood up and start walking towards the door. I started to look up. "Umm, Vince?"

He looked back at me. "Yea?"

"Just one favor. I want to ask you a favor."

"S-Sure. What is it?"

"I want you to never talk to me again. Never text me. Never message me."


He turned red and walked towards me again. "Why?"

"Well, I just don't like you.. talking to me."

"Is it because you're John's fiance?"

"Haha, he made that up for some reason. We're not.. dating. Not.. at all."

"Oh. Then why? Why am I not allowed to talk to you?"

What can I say? That's because I still love him? That's because I still remember every broken promises? 

I turned to my left, and felt a tear fell on my right cheek. I saw him coming closer to me when the speaker on the ceiling beeped. I looked up and turned around, and because of beep, I was able to wipe the tear off. Good thing someone called. Life saver. 

Me: Ms. Lee speaking.

Caller: Hello ma'am, I'm Mr. Minah's secretary and he's calling you to go to the meeting board right now. 

Me: John? Well tell him I'm busy. I can't talk right now.

Caller: He said it's urgent, it's about Mr. Andrew.

Me: Just me? Why does he have to talk to me? About what?

Caller: It's not just you, he's also calling Mr. Vince Park, both of you.
