Jealous

______________________________________________Nora washed her face and did some push ups before leaving the bathroom.

She was so sure that he knew about her lies already and was very angry...but was the pushing necessary.

He almost broke her spine, it was so painful.

She didn't know he was so violent and hot-tempered.

"How could he push a woman like that? I never expected him to do that"

"it's my fault, I shouldn't blame him. Who wouldn't not be angry?" she began to cry again.

"But it is not also my fault!! I was confused and didn't know what to do!

I said I wasn't interested but he kept on pestering me. Why I'm I the one at fault now?" she continued to sob.

"Nora calm down" her inner voice replied to her.

"How can I calm down when I'm on the verge of losing my mind and job?"

She washed her face again before going back to work.

***

It was already closing hour when she got back to her office. Nora picked her bag hurriedly as she was trying her possible best to avoid her boss.

She ran to the entrance to hail a cab to her home.

She gave the address to the cab driver before he drove off.

***

Angel who remembered that she had a date to go to at six left work earlier that day.

She felt like burying Ethan alive as he pretended like he wasn't interested in her.

Angel got changed into a dark blue suit with her black hair resting on her shoulders. She wore silver studs and wristwatch before leaving the house.

She decided to her father's new car which was a matching color with her clothes.

Her father had instructed her to take the car as it had more security that the others.

She drove down to the restaurant where she was going to meet Ethan.

As soon as she entered the restaurant, the aroma of the dishes filled her nostrils.

"I'm so hungry" she muttered sadly.

She was greeted by a waitress who took her to the table Ethan had reserved. Where Ethan was already sitting.

He was wearing a with shirt with black suit and pants. He was the CEO of Husthon's Group which was far larger than her fathers.

"Good evening Mr. Husthon"

He nodded before signalling to the waitress to come collect their orders.

After they ordered, Ethan stared at her before speaking "Are you from Spanish?"

"My mom is from there's".

"I haven't met her?"

"I don't think so"

Angel tried her best not to show how angry she was at the mention of her mother.

Before they could say anything else, the waitress came with their food.

Perceiving the aroma of the food, her stomach growled loudly. She quickly grabbed her tummy in embarrassment.

She pursed her lips and looked down at the food.

"Food looks delicious" Ethan said trying not to laugh at what just happened.

Angel looked up and pouted "You should laugh if you want to. I won't get mad because of it"

"It's nothing to be ashamed about. I understand, you were busy in the office and didn't take lunch, right?"

Angel nodded before picking up the fork to take a bite from her food.

She couldn't help but moan when it touched her tongue.

Ethan smiled again before also picking up a fork.

His smile was blissful and gentle. The way he placed the fork neatly into his mouth made her shiver.

He was the perfect rich man for her. Th1at was what her father would have said right now.

Though he was independent, handsome, rich and responsible but her heart belonged to someone else and that was Ryan.

Her mood suddenly changed "I want to go home"

Ethan was shocked to hear this "But you just started eating"

Angel turned around to call the waitress when her eyes met Ryan, coming in with a realliful lady. She was wearing an open-back sleeveless red dress with black heels.

They both sat opposite their table where Angel was directly facing Ryan.

Angel sat down slowly "I'm not going anymore."

"He even drew out a chair for her?"

Angel began to burn in jealousy but she knew it would be unreasonable to ask him who she was.

Then Angel and Ryan's eyes met.

Angel then decided to play her own game. She placed her hand on Ethan's hand that was laying on the table.
