Aysel’s pov.
Huh? Really?
“Just shut it. What do you know.”Ralph frowned at Snow.
Snow chuckled in return and rolled his eyes.
“What type of sickness is that tho? That you die without drinking water.”I asked, curiously.
“You should be more concerned about getting us out of this mess you created. You sure like to poke your nose into people’s business, don’t you?”he scoffed.
“Why not have breakfast first before we move you outta here.”I suggested.
“Move who? You can move others. I’ve got my own legs.”Ralph retorted and I rolled my eyes up to the ceiling, shaking my head.
“So, if I get this correctly, she took you guys, the DRS out and made you drank your life out and then boom! You got intoxicated and she brought you down here to my apartment? What a story worthy of an award.”Snow glared at me.
“No, Snow, don’t do that.”I laughed.
“Do what?”the both Snow asked and I turned to the other Snow.
“Not your own Snow.”I said.
“Yours has melted away long ago.”I heard Ralph mumble.
“What did you just say?”Snow eyes shot up at him.
“I said what you heard.”Ralph replied.
“Move your SDR outta here.”Snow gritted at me.

Unknown pov.
I flickered the smoke on the plate before sucking it in and holding it up in my mouth for some seconds then released it.
“How is it going?”I requested while grabbing a glass of whiskey from the table.
“It has been going well untill last night. They got drunk together and they slept at the same place. I heard people that drinks together often becomes buddy.”he replied.
I smirked and took a gulp of the drink.
“Buddies?”I laughed.
“They can never be buddies. I’m betting all my cards on them so make Juliet host a cameo, just in case.”I ordered and stood before the window.
“Why go through all these length though? You do not want anything from them and..”
I raised a brow and gave a cocky smile.
“I don’t fancy peace. I love them arguing. They should argue till they kill each other. And, no, you’ve got it wrong. I do want something.. from them.”

Aysel’s pov.
“You know you can easily get fired, right?”Snow asked as we all walked inside the company.
*Do you see that?*
*Who is that lady? She is so lucky to be close to them*
*Isn’t that Aysel?*
*Awnnn, they look so cute*
I shook my head at the comments as we walked off.
“Fired?, that sure isn’t the way to put it. I am not a worker here so I can never get fired. We are business partners you know?. You can never forget that.”I smiled.
“As if.”he rolled his eyes.
“Businessman partners that took her partners to a bar and let them merry away?. I do not quite understand that type of business but anyway, you sure don’t know your place.”Ralph stated.
“You sure like to yap and that’s a bit too much for someone that grabbed my b…”I suddenly paused with a wide eyes.
Oh, no.
I can’t believe I almost said that out.
“Grab what?”
“I see you truly do not remember anything. Forget it.”I snorted.
“You guys quite enjoyed each other company also. I mean, from the cuddling and all and Snow even kissed Ralph on the cheeks last night, he said he did that to take away his pains.”I expounded.
“What?!! Me??”Snow’s eyes bulged out.
He looks terrified right now.
“I’d better go away wash my face a million times.”Ralph voiced out in a scoff.
“So creepy..”Duvall teased and they both sent daggers at him.
Who got to their office and each went to his position.
“I was with Duvall yesterday so yes, why not give Ralph an helping hand today?”
“I don’t need your help.”he sighed.
“Why not get me a coffee instead?”he turned to look at me.
“Are you trying to turn me into an errand girl?”I asked instead.
“Call it anything you want. Besides, you shouldn’t complain. This is nothing close to what you did to us last night.”
“Ralph, you must like crying a lot.”I stated and Snow stifled a laughter.
I watched as his jaw tightened and folded my arms.
“Which flavor by the way? Cappuccino? Latte? Iced coffee? Expresso? Americano?”
“I actually like Expresso.”Duvall cuts in.
“Oh.”I mouthed.
“Just saying.”he shrugged.
“I will go for Caffè mocha”Snow said behind.
I scoffed.
“Americano, less sugar, more milk.”Ralph finally said.

Diana’s pov.
I wore a sullen look throughout the shooting.
The happiness that crepted up to my face when Brian asked to meet was just momentum.
I walked to where the coffee bus was and saw Brian from after.
He was sitting with legs crossed on each other.
*Oh my. Is that not Bryan?*
*He sure looks so good in real life*
*Eish. I’d better get his autograph*
I heard people said and I smiled.
He gave his autograph and took pictures with them.
I walked to him when most of them are out of sight and sat down on the seat opposite to his.
“Are you okay? You don’t seem fine”he placed his hand on my forehead.
“I’m fine. Just a little headache. I’m sure it would go.”I lied.
“You sure you don’t wanna go visit a doc?”he asked worriedly.
“You worry too much. By the way, why suggest such an open area? I’m sure you aren’t comfortable from the stares here and there.”
“I’m okay with that. I shouldn’t let that stop us from behaving like a normal couple. I will go get your coffee. The usual?”
I nodded and he stood up then came back few minutes later with two cups and placed it in front of me.
“Two cups of for me?”
“Yep. I already ordered one for myself when you were running late.”
“That’s not what I mean. But, I can’t possibly finish two cups.”
He smiled sheepishly at me and the stern look I passed to him soon turn into a smile.
“Remember the first day we met? You were very sad that day and you slurped from two coffee at the same time. Ah, you were very cute when you did that back then so I couldn’t resist the thought of asking you out”
I laughed. “But I’m not sad right now so..”
“You are. Whatever reasons it may be, you can always talk to me about it and if you want to keep it in then, I will respect that decision.”he stared at me fondly that I wanted to cry.
How do I possibly tell him that my mother doesn’t approve of us but want me with another man?
A tear rolled down my cheek and I quickly wiped it off and bent my head to slurp from the coffee at the same time and I watched him smile.
“Should we make it three?”he asked.
“What, hell no!”I laughed.

Aysel’s pov.
“Miss Aysel, trying to escape work wouldn’t help. You will only get stained by the brush if you’re careless.”Ralph sighed while switching to another color while I just stood beside him.
“Why go extra miles of adding color to it when all you need is just the outline?”I questioned.
“Because I enjoy doing so.”I saw him smile.
This is the first time I would see him do that – a real smile.
“By the way, you sure you don’t remember anything?”
What if he knows and is just hiding it away?
“From last night?”his black eyes shot up at me.
“I think I do.”
