Chapter 108

"Stop…" I pleaded. "I'm the one with the issue here. None of these is your fault." 

"Still," he insisted but I cut him off by wriggling my head. "I really wish you can share these problems of yours with me. I know you don't feel comfortable talking about it but if I can help in any way Maya, please don't hesitate." He pleaded back and another sigh escaped my breaths. How was he going to help me tarnish his reputation or his family's? And that occasional question sprung within me again. I wonder how he was going to react if he knew the reason I was in Hunter Hotels in the first place. He stroked my hand and I jolted away from that thought. His endearing smile had returned and it soothed me. 

"Can I ask one thing?" I asked and he nodded immediately. 

"Would you…" My voice trailed off while my heart began pounding again. "Would you like to be my boyfriend? Even though it's only going to last for this week alone." 

He smiled immediately.
