Chapter 22

Book:EX Factor Published:2024-5-1

Gavin’s POV
My mom couldn’t stop introducing Bree to our family friends and some investors.
She can’t help herself from telling everyone how proud she is for both of us. Add to that was her dream for us to get married.
I can see Bree’s disbelief from all the good words she heard from my mom. She’s not used to this thing. She never experience it from Mrs. Dela Rama.
I clenched my jaw when I remember how Mrs. Dela Rama tried to insult Bree in front of us.
I am very grateful that my mom defended Bree.
While that Seb did nothing at all. It was as if his tongue had suddenly been cut off and he could not speak.
Is that how she protects Bree? As time goes by, I saw how underserving he is for Bree. He will only hurt her. And I will never let that happen.
I said goodbye to them first to get something to drink.
Suddenly I bumped into Seb.
“Thanks for protecting Bree earlier.” He said.
I smirked. “Welcome, I know that I need to do that because it seems like you had no intention of doing anything to defend her earlier.”
“I can’t. My mom might caught us.” He answered.
I stared at him but he immediately averted his eyes.
I chuckled. “If I were Bree’s boyfriend, I would never let anyone embarrassed her, even if it was my mother. I will fight for her and I will never hide her. I will be proud to tell the whole world that she is mine.” I said seriously.
I saw him clenched his jaw.
I smirked. I will not be threatened by you.
“You don’t know anything about our situation. You can only say that because your mommy accepts her.” He said defensively.
I raised an eyebrow. “It’s not my fault that my mom is not as shallow as your mom.”
He gripped my collar. “Don’t insult my mother!”
“She should not insult Bree in front of me either.” I said seriously as I removed his hand from holding my collar.
After the launch of the new collection of Inarez Clothing, mommy talked to Bree.
Aside from being our model, my mom also offers her a position where she will be the Head Director of the Creative and Events Department.
She accepted it. According to her, that is really the line of her expertise.
And she really deserve it. And I’m so proud of her.
6 months later
Aubree’s POV
My whole six months have been busy. I often have no sleep, because apart from modeling, I am also the Head of the Creative and Events Department which I enjoy more.
I also can’t deny that I am starting to love modeling. I never imagined that I would be in this kind of industry.
Maybe my self esteem was greatly affected by the things that happened to me and Seb. I always feel like I always have to prove something and this kind of job is to high for me.
Thanks to Gav because without him, this things will never happen.
And speaking of Gav, our relationship are getting better now. We were slowly getting back to how we used to be. Especially that I am reporting directly to him now.
And I’m very happy because of what is happening to us.
I was about to go to his office when I heard him talking to someone. I peeked. I know what I’m right now is not right but I can’t help it. They sound so happy.
I saw Gav having a nice conversation with Sam. I cleared my throat.
This past months they became more close to each other. Many people in the office also noticed it.
When you look at them, they look so happy and in love.
I closed my eyes. I should be happy because he seems like he already moved on right?! But why am I hurting because of that?! I can’t seem to accept that I am no longer the one he loves, the one he flirts with and caresses.
Now it’s like we’re just friends. He was already smiling at me, but the love in his eyes were gone.
I want to slap myself because of what I am feeling now. I know this is wrong, I know I should not feel this.
Maybe I just miss Seb. I think that’s it. I don’t have time for him anymore because of my busy schedule.
He also often sulks because I don’t have time for him.
I just came back to reality when I heard Gav’s voice.
“I think its about time Sam. You can now call off the wedding. I will take care of your parents.” He said.
My eyes widen from what he had said. He asked her, no he demanded her to call off her wedding with Seb.
That only means that they will be free now and I and Seb will also be freed.
I should be happy right?
