Thank you for the editing opportunity Unfortunately, the moment arrived where I must choose between life or death To further saveis the best resort
Because… I don’t want Melchizedek Jesus Crux to fucking read my novella
Anyone else but him Or else I'll die
Jhing was really tenation letter on the top of her boss’ table the next day, but she was surprised to see no Miko in the lobby, his own cubicle, or even on the hallways
That's why she was all smiles as she walks towards her chair
MIKO IS ABSENT!
Yehey!
She’s hoping for hi can be hap- Gods, what the hell is she thinking? Act cool, Jhing Just go with the flow, and get your goals intact
Do not get distracted
Jhing downloaded a big file on her coet her coffee She was so happy that she al to fly abruptly stopped when she saw… him
He sat on a corner, a coffee tu on his laptop
Jhing didn’t know Miko was capable of wearing eyeglasses… but who the hell cares?!
Jhing ignored hi so, she felt a pair of eyes studying her every move In the end, she couldn't take it any that the man will look away the second she sets her eyes on him
But lo and behold, Miko didn’t even blink
He just stared at her
He even raised his coffee
And smiled
Okaaayyy, the plan backfired
ABORT MISSION
Jhing looked away frohost chasing after her? Nope But it indeed felt like it Jhing can’t do this- no She can't let that man read the novel
The resignation letter… it was te to print it
Good thing Miko was only working half-day Before lunch, he was already nowhere to be found… not that Jhing wanted to knohy he wasn’t in his cubicle It was just a coincidence that he wastheir lunch conversation
“He has awith his client”
“Client? I thought he's our illustrator?”
“Is he not allowed to have his own client, girl?” July said while laughing “He has his own business soI heard he was recoher-ups ah”
“He’s actually good, in fairness,” one of the at his work He draws quickly but it didn't mess up his art I also love the cute color palettes”
“He's also cute,” another one said which hed her food out
“Guys,” she just called after drinking water, “Change topic”
“H smile on July’s lips “Touchy subject?”
July wanted to know so and reading body language is an expertise of hers
And nope
July won’t have any answers or confirmation
There's nothing to confirm anyway!
Jhing returned the s about him behind his back”
“That's okay! I'll take care of him—”
“Says the pregnant one,” July laughed while caressing the stonant co-worker “I'll report this to your husband”
“I' the God’s work ah”
It was a pain that Miko’s presence was near her - but a torture that even without hi’s circle of life
fucking shi+t
The day beca was bored out of her o home already because she was tempted to open her novella… but at the saain
The struggle was real
Jhing's day ended with a 'Thank you' from an author that received her ‘tip’ for the day
The story is great but the chapter endings were a little stiff There's so You should include booer: write a revelation, a question, or an answer
Cliffhanger is cruel yet an entertaining way to get your readers think about your story They’ll be damned not to read the next chapter ASAP
This is just a suggestion, you’re still free to change or keep whatever you think ht work for your own story
Jhing was hoping for her life to be the sahten up her day It's too stiff, and so
The next day, Miko was present
It was uncoetting younger than older Was it because of his siet up?
Maybe so else?
But who cares?!
Jhing was reading her Mother’s text while walking towards her cubicle- ‘baby,bunso¹ is shy so i have to ask u u still have any money? need 1k for her subj im sori about this'
Jhing sat in her chair before replying, ‘Of course, Nay² I'll send it to you by break time or after work’
A ‘bunso said thanks eat properly so u wont get sick okay?' reply was enough for Jhing to smile
But that smile quickly disappeared when she put her phone down on the table Jhing didn’t notice the hot piping ers accidentally touched it
A hot coffee on her table?
She called July and asked her if it was hers which hed at her question “It's on your table, not mine”
Jhing laughs too, “Thank you for the coffee”
July looked at her in confusion before nodding
While Jhing was drinking the coffee, she received another email from MJ Crux
No Facebook? No problem! They have work e it on!
My goodness
May I read your novella now?
Jhing didn't reply After a fewa new thread This guy is all over her emails now ah!!!
Is the taste okay? :)
Wait
Jhing almost choked on her coffee She quickly turned his head away from the screen because she was so shocked that a bit of the drink escaped from her lips
She stared at theof coffee, at the e at his own computer
The fuck!?
July was her savior when she asked if she can take a sip of her coffee Jhing replied with ”Go ahead Just drink it eot her second 'Thank you' for the day
Free coffee on her table?
Never again
Work was going s up and yawning Not that she really cared, but his voice was loud enough to be heard by everyone
“Lunch out?”
Everyone looked at Miko… except for Jhing who becaically interested in her keyholder
“Your treat?” one of them asked
“Awtsu” Miko laughed “I'm just new here and you already want to punish me? I haven't even had my salary yet, okay?”
“You're the one who invited us”
“Whenever I invite you out to eat, it will always be PFY,” Miko said ”Pay for yourself!”
“Cheapskate!” they laughed
“I'm not a cheapskate,” said Miko “I'm in need of money”
