?Episode 23?

Bryce’s POV:

I sat inside my cigar lounge, grabbing the pool stick I started playing it alone.

I soon got tired of playing pool so o dropped the stick and light up a stick of cigarette.

I took a drag and closed my eyes.

My mind raced back yet again to the memory that i was trying to block out since I get back from work.

I groaned in frustration and sat back on my armrest chair.

Closing my eyes yet again I took a drag of the cigarette to clear off the memory.

A knock on the front door jolted me back.

Who the fk is it knocking on this door?

I stood up from my chair and walk out of the cigar lounge then move towards the front door.

“Who the fk is it?” I asked expecting it to be one of the maids but the answer i got made me froze.

“It is me, Penny.” Her tiny voice said.

I spaced Out for five minutes before realising that i kept her outside in the night all alone.

I opened the door and her face came into view, she was tying her head in a ponytail.

Beautiful.

Where did that thought came from?

While she was telling me the reason why she was here, I was busy watching how her face fitted so perfectly.

I dug my hand inside my pa.nts pocket and brought out her apartment key.

“What happened today was a mistake and I’m sorry for the inconvenience.” I said all of a sudden.

Her eyes widened but she slowly nodded.

Then there came the word that threw me off guard.

“You might regret it Mr King bug I really did enjoyed it.”

What the fk?

I searched her face but,they were blank as if she didn’t just almost confess her feelings to me.

Yes I know that she is attracted to me, but not to this limit.

“Miss James……”

“Oh my God, I’m sorry Mr King, that is absolutely a no no. I’m sorry. Good night.” She hurriedly said and ran out of my presence.

What do I call that?

I shrugged and closed the door then fished put my phone from my pants.

I dial Johann number and placed it on my ear.

?Dude I’m trying to get a sleep here? His frustration every noticeable through his voice.

?I’m sorry man,I just need to talk to you.? I said and heard him sigh.

Johann is my best friend and he is very much like a brother to me.

I trust him and he trusts me too.

We share secrets together, confide in each other.

That is what best friends are for right?

?Is it about Zen? Don’t you guys speak on phone??

?It is not about Zendaya and we do talk frequently on phone but…..I have a problem man? I said and sighed.

?I will be at your office tomorrow morning by ten, whatever it is don’t think too much.?

?Okay, goodnight.” I hanged up and rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand…

Guess i should go and sleep as well.

I walk out of the mini mansion and headed to the main house.

“Penny already left.” Arley’s nanny said and I nodded.

I was so tired, so I enter the elevator instead of taking the stairs.

I got to my room and stay down on my bed.

After such a long day, I should rest.

I removed my Shirt and lay back on the bed, my eyes fixed on the ceiling.

Penny. That name.

Penny’s POV:

When I got to my apartment, i was left dumbstruck.

It was so beautiful, perfect garden, perfect interior decorations.

Surprisingly, there were furnitures, kitchen utensil, everything is completed in the house.

I couldn’t ask for more.

Chris was already asleep so after putting out all that we brought I went inside the kitchen to make myself a cup of coffee.

I stood behind the kitchen island with the coffee mug in my hand. My thought drifted back to Bryce.

My breath itches at the thought of him.

He makes me so nervous.

So intense.

So…..I don’t know how to put it into words.

I sigh and took a sip of my coffee.
I felt so attracted to him, I don’t understand why but.

This is not right Penny, he is a married man.

I closed my eyes and rubbed my fingers on my temple.

This is so annoying, I have Alex.

I’m sure that he’ll come back to me.

He will.

So there is no room for another man.

I gulp down the remaining coffee and left for the balcony.

Bringing out my phone I text Maggie.
?Hey girlfriend,my new address 5th house at the back of the subway station.
Visit let’s talk?

I send the message and lean on a pillar.

Five minutes later.

?On my way, will grab some food and drinks for housewarming party??

Okay!

I can’t wait for the housewarming party like she said.
