Gab's POV

I open my eyes and I check the clock its 6:00 am, I guess my body is used to waking up early to go to school. I remember what happened last night, how Alex carried me And how he took me home is very surprising, "I care for you" are the words I've been waiting to hear from him, so instead of getting upset and mad I feel happy and thankful.

I stood up from bed and started walking but my body it feels weak and heavy, my eyes are starting to get blurred again and I can she double visions of everything I see, before I knew it I fell down the floor touching my head...

I feel...

Ginger's POV

Me and Silvia are preparing breakfast for my Lady and the young master. After the few minutes the young master went down, he looks kinda depressed I guess his still upset about my lady, I wonder what happed to them last night after the young master carried my lady. "Good morning young master" Silvia greeted, "good morning Silvia, Ginger" we both nod and smile at him. Then my lady came down as well but her aura is pretty different its doesn't looked like she mad or angry, neither is upset, she looks a bit pale too. "Good morning my lady" I greeted "good morning" she smiled at me and Silvia, she sat in front if the young master they looked at each other.

Gab's POV

His looking into my eyes and I'm looking at his, I should be the first to talk, I took at deep breath.

"Alex"

"Gab"

Our eyes widen, co'uz we both talked at the same Time.

"Um... About last night--" we were synchronized again.

"You go first" again.

"No you go" again.

"OK I'll go" 5th time, we avoided each other eyes he drinks his coffee but his looking the other way. "Alex...." I said he looked at me, "I just wanted to say, I'm sorry" I can see his eyes widen. I know I'm blushing right now but I have to let him know how sorry, I am, for the fact that I was being too stubborn I also made him worry about me so much, but I can't do it unless Ginger and Silvia are here, I looked at Silvia and it looks like she's got the idea,  "Um... Ginger we should probably go do the laundry, come on" she pulled Ginger through the back door. there was deep silence between us, I took a deep breath before I will speak. "I'm sorry Alex, I... I was being too stubborn, and maybe I am pushing myself too hard on this and maybe.... Maybe... Maybe I am just doing this because I want to prove myself" I can't control my tears they just came down on their own. "Sfft, yesterday one of the investors destroyed there contract with us".

Flashback

"Claire where are they" I told Claire, I came as soon as she called me, "there in the conference hall" she answer I immediately went there and I saw them sitting, its a 50 and above years old man and one 30 and above years old guy, they were a bit surprised to see me, they even whisper something to one another, Claire whisper something on my ear "they are Victory family. Other than the Reyes family they are the next biggest investors of this company" biggest?, my heart drop,then more the reason why I need to convince them to not back out on the contracted. "Mr Victory..." He cut me off, "so its true that a teenager is managing this company, and for the fact you are a girl" he deepen the way he said the word girl, gulp... "Mr. Victory please don't destroy the contract, the company is getting back to its feet." I said "no, I will not invest in a that is being handled by a teenage girl" my eyes widen did he say he won't invest in this company because of me, "sir. I may be a teenage girl but I think I am worthy enough to be handling a company on my own" I explained, I know anytime my years are about to fall but I have to endure, for the company's sake, "no!, if you were a boy then I will be able to change my mind but now that I can see perfectly clear that you are a girl. then I will not waste my money and trust to a girl

Like you" he painfully said, "you are such a disgrace to your family name, your grandfather Lucas and your father Patrick were called one of the youngest millionaires in the world and for a girl like you, you will never attain that name ever!" Then he fix his things and left, my knees felt weak that I just break down on the ground, my tears kept falling and falling down, Claire is patting my back and my head.

How can he say that I'm a disgrace, ever since I became the CEO I've been trying to prove that I'm as good as dad but why can't I do it, everyone thinks I'm just a disgrace and a Shame to my family name.

End of flashback

"That's why I decided to stay overnight and make the best solution to this problem, sfft.. This company is important to me and to my family that's why I will do anything to protect it, and from the start that's all my intention but as days go by people are accusing me that I'm nothing but a disgrace, I wanted to prove to them, I want them to see that I can be as good as dad or maybe even better, sfft but I guess I can't and I won't, I just have to accept that I'm nothing like my dad" I wiped my tears, then I felt his hands onto my cheeks, my eyes widen. "You can prove to them if you want, but you shouldn't push yourself too much because it will only caused more problems, I know eventually you'll make a decision that can help get the company back to its feet then everyone will know that your not a disgrace" he smiled at me and wiped my tears, he Gave me a hug "I'm always here for you Gab, always..." I can't help but hug him back, I hugged him tight like this moments won't happen again.

I feel so warm in his arm.

Its like his protecting me with his warm and comforting embrace.

If only I can tell you Alex how much I love you, how much I want you to hug me like this.

If only I can say I love you freely without any guilt and pain inside..
