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 may
not love each other, but it was only when I heard her cry that I realized I should not have acted like a
lunatic 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 for
me to stop her. Frank could only look at me from the rearview mirror, but he did not say anything as he
drove 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 her
forehead and looking tired from walking
“What did you ask from my father?” I asked her, pretending to be angry, but deep inside me, I was
worried Dad did not treat her right like me. It will be too much for her, and I hate myself now for worrying
about her.
Catherine, my secretary, has been calling me, but I could not help ignoring her call while we were in the
elevator. 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 answer
the 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 new
products,” she informed me.
“Is that important?” I asked, realizing my question seemed wrong, but she answered me immediately. I
wanted to ask, ‘is that urgent?‘, but the wrong words slipped my tongue. “Mr. Smith and Mr. Nakamura
said we can have it by Friday after learning what happened to Chairman Mars, but I have some papers
that I need you to sign.” “Just tell Leo to bring the papers. I‘ll sign them later,” I said, wanting to end the
call. “Uhm.. Sky, i know this is not the right time, but it‘s been getting viral on social media now about
seeing you in the hospital yesterday in your night robe with a young woman. There were some
speculations 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 voice
was 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 from
you.”
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, I
ended up married, my father got confined in the hospital, and my heart became confused despite
wanting only one thing, having Lalaine back. Now that she is back, promising me she will not act like a
child 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 nasal
bridge.
“Are you okay?” I heard her ask, sounding worried, but I did not answer her. If only I could tell her I
wanted 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 have
prevented it, but she was too adorable despite the red spots on her face. I always find her eyes too sexy
whenever her eyes sparkle with excitement.
Angela was still sleeping when I woke up, breathing evenly like a baby. I rolled to my side, stretching my
arms on the floor to reach for the blanket. Before covering our bodies, I feasted on her, looking at her
body, wanting to touch and kiss her again, but then she moved, leaving me no choice but to pretend to
be asleep.
I pressed my lips, suppressing a peal of laughter as I watched her tiptoed, going to the closet room. My
thoughts were distracted when I heard her stomach growling. “Stop the car, Frank,” I said, thinking she
deserved 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,” she
cried 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 her
fidgeting her hands, holding the hem of her shirt. “Get out,” I said and then opened the door, going to the
restaurant without looking back.
“Sky!” Ferdi greeted me and nodded at her. “This way.” He led us to the same private dining area we had
our wedding. Despite being drunk that night, I could remember every detail of what happened in this
area. I pulled a chair, deciding whether to ask for a coffee first or not, but when I saw her sitting farther
from me, I could not help feeling impatient with her. “Are you kidding me? Sit there!” I growled. We didn‘t
need 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 felt
relief to be alone with her. “Thank you, Sky,” she said, showing a half–smile. “When your lawyer comes
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlater, I will sign the divorce papers and give you your freedom.” I feel like a fool, turning at her and
shaking my head. “No one is signing those damn papers today, Angela. I am not giving you permission to divorce me.” I could not explain why but one thing I was sure, something in Angela interests me. I
understand 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. “Answer
your phone there. Don‘t dare leave that seat,” I hissed, and once again, her lips quivered, making her
look adorable. When she didn‘t answer her phone, I took it from her hand, accepted the call, and turned
on 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. Where
are you?” We heard him sigh. “I should have just gone to the party with you. Are you okay?” Angela
forced 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 want
me to come and get you?” He asked, but I had already turned off her phone. I was too angry that I
wanted to throw her cell phone outside the window. “Why did you do that?” She snarled, taking her
phone 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 at
me. “You‘re married already, yet you are still flirting with another woman!” She wriggled her arm, wanting
to escape from my hand. “I just received a call from a friend while you were smooching with another
woman this morning. In front of your sister! In front of me!” I let go of her arm, but she rose to her feet as soon as I released her hand. Scaring me that she would run away from me, I hold her hand and pull
her 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.
