ANYA's POV

My brows rose up when I was able to recover with surprised. I looked behind me with narrowed eyes and search for that someone who had called me but found no one. I frowned.

Am I hearing things now? Him? Calling my name? Oh, God...I think my condition now had worsen. As if he would be here! For all I know, he was somewhere in his own world with his woman beside him.

Tsk! I think I'm starting to be out of my mind now.. And this isn't good.

I shook my head then continued walking towards the exit. I hastened my steps when I noticed more prying eyes were looking at me with interests.

I mentally rolled my eyes and sighed, not stopping or glancing at my back. Just focused with my plan to get out of this place.

'......Let us welcome our new CEO, my son..'

I still heard that man in the background, probably the former CEO of this company announcing that before I had completely got out from that place. Approaching Jul's car but my mind lingering with that CEO thing, confused.

CEO's son? I thought our CEO was single? And how come he had a son now?

My brows almost overlapping on my forehead with confusions while walking close to the car. And when no answer came to my mind, I just rolled my eyes then opened the car door.

Whatever! I would eventually know that this Monday. I'm pretty sure everyone knows that except me. Or maybe Jul too. For all I know, it was probably from his woman..

I just nodded my head with agreement then get in. Just a few minutes had passed, I saw Jul exiting the building with half-running and walking steps towards his car. Looking so disarrayed with his disheveled state. As if he had experienced some tornado on his way that made him look like that while heaving with deep breaths.

Ts, tsk... I think I have to suggest a new habit for him. Just a morning jog that I'm sure he would freak out. As if he was so healthy to say no for that. He quickly open the door beside the driver seat then get in with a ragged breath and sweats glistening on his forehead.

I mentally shook my head while crossing my arms.

A jogging is what he need indeed.

"Are you okay, Jul?"

He sucked a deep breath then wiped his forehead with the side of his hand. And when he was fine enough to answer me, he looked at me.

"I have something to tell you." then he gulped while looking at me with excited eyes.

I frowned at him.

"And what is that? Don't tell me you want to go to another toilet again?"

He shook his head vigorously which caused me to become curious about it.

"What then?"

He suddenly took a hold of my hands then smiled at me like he had gone crazy just because of his LBM torturing him.

"He's here!" he exclaimed with eyes glimmered with excitement. I cocked my brow, wondering if who's that 'he' he was spouting about.

"Who's that he?"

His smile turned into a grin from ear to ear. I think he had really gone crazy now.

"Him! He's here!"

I just rolled my eyes then took out my hands from his, still not getting any sense of what he was spouting.

"I don't know what you were trying to say Jul and I don't care about it so let's just----"
