Chapter 24 – Flirting

(Sky‘s POV)

Lam not evil, but when I heard Angela sobbing in the car, waves of guilt hit me like a tsunami. We maynot love each other, but it was only when I heard her cry that I realized I should not have acted like alunatic cheater in front of her.

Lalaine went back, and it was the only thing that mattered to me at that moment.

I was so mad at myself that I asked Frank to stop the car and told her to get out, and it was too late forme to stop her. Frank could only look at me from the rearview mirror, but he did not say anything as hedrove to the hospital.

If only she knew how worried I was while waiting for her. I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw her with Dr.Greene, but again my conscience was screaming in my mind when I saw her wiping her sweats on herforehead and looking tired from walking

“What did you ask from my father?” I asked her, pretending to be angry, but deep inside me, I wasworried Dad did not treat her right like me. It will be too much for her, and I hate myself now for worryingabout her.

Catherine, my secretary, has been calling me, but I could not help ignoring her call while we were in theelevator. I felt like she would run away from me if I released my grip from her wrist, and if that happened,I would probably go crazy and not stop feeling guilty for my actions.

I heard her answering me, “Nothing,” but I could not tell her I didn‘t believe her because I had to answerthe call that had become annoying to my ears.

“Cathy,” I said, glancing at Angela, wanting to tell her to sit upright, but my secretary started talking:

“Sky, the Product Development Team would like to ask you if you‘re available today to inspect the newproducts,” she informed me.

“Is that important?” I asked, realizing my question seemed wrong, but she answered me immediately. Iwanted to ask, ‘is that urgent?‘, but the wrong words slipped my tongue. “Mr. Smith and Mr. Nakamurasaid we can have it by Friday after learning what happened to Chairman Mars, but I have some papersthat I need you to sign.” “Just tell Leo to bring the papers. I‘ll sign them later,” I said, wanting to end thecall. “Uhm.. Sky, i know this is not the right time, but it‘s been getting viral on social media now aboutseeing you in the hospital yesterday in your night robe with a young woman. There were somespeculations Chairman Mars got a heart attack because you brought a whore at home.”

il Catherine were not older than me, I wanted to scream at her that Angela was not a whore

“Would you like me to call a press conference to clarify that these are all lies?” She asked, but her voicewas also doubtful if it was the best way.

“Not today, Cathy. I have something important to deal with at home. I‘ll call when I need something fromyou.”

I leaned and craned my neck at the car seat‘s backrest, thinking what went wrong that I had to

suffer like this when all I did was follow Dad all my life. The first time I decided to make a crazy decision, Iended up married, my father got confined in the hospital, and my heart became confused despitewanting only one thing, having Lalaine back. Now that she is back, promising me she will not act like achild again, and with Angela ready to sign the divorce papers, I am the one feeling caught in the middle.

“Whatever you have in mind, Angela, please, not today,” I lifted my hand and massaged my nasalbridge.

“Are you okay?” I heard her ask, sounding worried, but I did not answer her. If only I could tell her Iwanted to crawl back in bed with her.

The spirit of Margarita made us insane again last night, but I knew I had no excuse for that. I could haveprevented it, but she was too adorable despite the red spots on her face. I always replace her eyes too sexywhenever her eyes sparkle with excitement.

Angela was still sleeping when I woke up, breathing evenly like a baby. I rolled to my side, stretching myarms on the floor to reach for the blanket. Before covering our bodies, I feasted on her, looking at herbody, wanting to touch and kiss her again, but then she moved, leaving me no choice but to pretend tobe asleep.

I pressed my lips, suppressing a peal of laughter as I watched her tiptoed, going to the closet room. Mythoughts were distracted when I heard her stomach growling. “Stop the car, Frank,” I said, thinking shedeserved a good late lunch after hurting her today, but she gaped at me, looking horrified.

“What now? I didn‘t do anything. Sky, please, I‘m too hungry to walk, and I don‘t have the strength,” shecried that I wanted to guffaw, but I stopped myself from even lifting the corners of my mouth. “Turn there,”I instructed him, and when Frank stopped the car in his brother‘s seafood restaurant, I turned to herfidgeting her hands, holding the hem of her shirt. “Get out,” I said and then opened the door, going to therestaurant without looking back.

“Sky!” Ferdi greeted me and nodded at her. “This way.” He led us to the same private dining area we hadour wedding. Despite being drunk that night, I could remember every detail of what happened in thisarea. I pulled a chair, deciding whether to ask for a coffee first or not, but when I saw her sitting fartherfrom me, I could not help feeling impatient with her. “Are you kidding me? Sit there!” I growled. We didn‘tneed to pretend in front of the man who officiated our wedding. They talked for a while before he

turned his head to me, asking me if I wanted the usual food I ordered. After our short conversation, I feltrelief to be alone with her. “Thank you, Sky,” she said, showing a half–smile. “When your lawyer comeslater, I will sign the divorce papers and give you your freedom.” I feel like a fool, turning at her andshaking my head. “No one is signing those damn papers today, Angela. I am not giving you permissionto divorce me.” I could not explain why but one thing I was sure, something in Angela interests me. Iunderstand I am being selfish, but I am not letting her go.

“Why?” She looked at me, horrified about my decision.

I opened my mouth to answer her, but she was startled by the sudden ringing of her phone. “Answeryour phone there. Don‘t dare leave that seat,” I hissed, and once again, her lips quivered, making herlook adorable. When she didn‘t answer her phone, I took it from her hand, accepted the call, and turnedon the speaker. “Angela?” A male voice worriedly uttered her name. “Dylan?” She creased her forehead,taking the phone from me but I didn‘t give it to her.“ Where did you get my number?” “From Anya. Whereare you?” We heard him sigh. “I should have just gone to the party with you. Are you okay?” Angelaforced a chuckle. “Of course, I‘m okay. I‘m going home soon. Don‘t tell me you miss

me?”

I tilted my head, making sure she knew I was glaring at her, but she only sneered at me. “Do you wantme to come and get you?” He asked, but I had already turned off her phone. I was too angry that Iwanted to throw her cell phone outside the window. “Why did you do that?” She snarled, taking herphone back. “You‘re married already, and yet you are still flirting with another guy,” I hissed at her,grabbing her arm as I tried to hold my anger. “Woah! Hold there, Mr. Perfect,” she smirked mockingly atme. “You‘re married already, yet you are still flirting with another woman!” She wriggled her arm, wantingto escape from my hand. “I just received a call from a friend while you were smooching with anotherwoman this morning. In front of your sister! In front of me!” I let go of her arm, but she rose to her feetas soon as I released her hand. Scaring me that she would run away from me, I hold her hand and pullher to me, sitting her on my lap. It was as if the time had stopped ticking when our eyes met. I gazed at

her round but beautiful eyes, and when her lips parted, I took my chance, molding my lips to her mouth,kissing her the way I kissed Lalaine this morning.
