Keifer's POV
"Finish this. We need it for tomorrow's meeting." Clyde's employee said. I looked at the papers in front of me. My head was hurting . They were making a summary and analysis report with layers of paper . I knew the employees here were taking revenge after I went under time yesterday. I even cursed at one of them who told me that just a moment ago I was ordered to make coffee. Next to the laptop where I was typing some report they were asking for. I've been here for three hours now in the conference room. I'm starting to feel hungry. I look down and rub my nape. I've already made a presentation and I need the one I'll print later. And this needs to be done after lunch so Clyde's secretary can double check it. I looked at the door when I heard a knock. A blonde girl with greenish eyes peeked in. Her breasts were also slightly isible through her red blouse. "Hey, I brought you some snacks." She said and walked toward me. She put down a tray with just coffee and apple pie. She's smiling widely while looking at me. "Thanks." I said and returned my gaze back to the laptop. I thought she was going to leave but she was still standing next to me. I'm quite confused so I look at her again. She's leaning a bit closer to me but her eyes are focused on the screen of the laptop. I moved away slightly because of her closeness that I almost kissed her. "You're doing a great job. The report is almost done." She said and looked at me. She moves away when she realizes our position. She smiled awkwardly. "Please don't do that again." I said while my eyebrows are knitted. My eyes and lips are only for Jay-jay. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean toâ€"I just want to help you with that report." Her eyes are teary and she's rubbing her hands. I feel pity on her. Maybe I shouldn't be hard on her. She's just trying to help. "It's okay. You don't have to help me. I can do it myself." I turn and continue typing. She's still not moving so I can't get rid of the irritation. I sigh. "Do you still need something?" I ask without looking at her. "The thing is. Mr. Watson's secretary asked me to help you with those papers." She answered while pointing her ï¬ngers at the papers in front of me. Clyde's secretary and what she's referring to. Honestly, I need help with all this. She's a woman and it's not good for anyone to see the two of us here in the conference room. Besides, I didn't have a good feeling about this woman. I hadn't spoken yet but she already grabbed a swivel chair and sat down next to me. "So how can I help you with all of this?" I grabbed some papers and handed them to her. "Read this and mark the important details. I'll get back to it later." She nodded and started reading the report. Like what I said she marked down the important details. I barely noticed that I was ï¬nished. I sent the report to Clyde's secretary earlier. "Done." I said and sighed. "Finally." She stretches her arms and when he stretches her back, her boobs almost pop out. I look back at my laptop. Pretending to wait for any reply. Jay, I didn't mean to look! "Thank you for helping me. You can leave now." I said without looking at her. She crosses his legs and played with her swivel chair. "Maybe I should stay here for a while." "Suit yourself." I stood up and cleared away the scattered papers. I also turned off the laptop and just as I was about to leave, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I stiffened and looked at her. "Stay here with me." She said in a very seductive voice. "Let's take a rest here for a while." In the name of Gad. My Jay-jay will cut my d*ck if she ï¬nds out that a woman tries to touch me. Please take this temptation away from me. Amen. I cleared my throat and shrugged her away. I continue what I'm about to do. Leaving. I was almost at the door when suddenly someone pulled me away. I let go of the papers I was holding, followed by the laptop. She pushed me back to my swivel chair and sat on my lap. Her legs were both on my sides. "Why in a hurry? I just want to know you." She said and leaned to whisper. "And maybe we can have a little talk." I immediately turned my face away from her. I noticed that her blouse was completely open . She ruffled her hair and placed both hands on my chest. "Please moveâ€" STOP!" I shouted when her hands moved to my belt. She stopped slightly but continued with her plan. I immediately grabbed her hand to stop her. I could feel her trembling, a sign of fear towards me. I don't feel seduced. I feel loathe to this woman. If I can't stop myself, I might hit her and hurt her. "Move away now." I said with authority. She swallowed and slowly stood up. I did the same and adjusted my necktie. But I was shocked when she suddenly knelt in front of me and grabbed my belt. The sound of camera shots followed . I knew it. I couldn't control myself anymore and choked this woman in front of me. I pushed her against the wall without removing my chokehold. "What are you trying to do? Who sent you? Who the fvck sent you!" I shouts and she starts to cry. She can't speak properly because of my choking. I choked her even harder because of the idea of us taking a picture like that. What if they send it to the Philippines? Damn it! "Who took the picture?!" I ask again but she's just crying while trying to catch her breath. I used two hands to choke her. She also tried to stop him but she was no longer strong. Until I noticed his paleness. For some reason I saw Jay- jay's face into her. Gasping for air while I choked her. It was a very traumatic image. I released my hand spontaneously because of the fear I felt. No! I will never do such a thing to her. I looked at the girl I was choking a moment ago. She was on the floor and still gasping for air. She also continued to cry. "When are you planning to talk?" I ask him and she looks at me. "I-it was Thomas, Mr. Clyde's secretary." She answered. Was this Clyde's plan? My feet took large steps on their own. I took large steps towards his office. I pushed past a ew people just to walk quickly. When I got there, I didn't knock. I kept going in and when I saw his secretary, I let out a loud punch. I heard the bone in his nose break followed by the removal of several teeth. He fell to the floor followed by blood flowing. "Where is it? Where's the picture?" I shout and grab his shirt. He couldn't speak because of the force of blood flowing from his nose and mouth. "Keifer!" It was Clyde's booming voice. "Let him go." I let him go but my eyes are still looking at him. He slowly stood up while trying to stop the blood rom coming out of his nose. "Help him." Clyde ordered and that's when I saw that he had someone with him. Two men came up to me and helped him walk out. I followed them with my gaze. As soon as the door closed, Clyde immediately threw a punch at me but I beat him to it. My ï¬st was already in his face when we both stopped. Neither of us blinked and both were breathing heavily. "What the hell is that for?" He asked still not moving his clenched hand. "You planned this, did you? Delete the fvcking picture or I'll delete your face." "I don't know what your talking about." I sigh and put down my ï¬st and he did the same. He adjusted his necktie and coat before walking closer to his executive table. "I can sue you for hurting my secretary." He said without looking at me. "Then sue me! But I will still break his jaw for taking that picture!" He looks at me confused. "What picture?" Now where playing dumb. "Delete the fvcking picture!" "What picture?! I don't understand! What picture are you talking about?!" He said sounds irritated. I approached him and punched his table. He flinched a bit but regained his posture. "Someone took a picture of me with a woman in a nasty position! That woman said it was your secretary!" I sigh to control my temper. "Don't you dare try to use it against me." He laughed a little which annoyed me even more. It's his plan! I know and I'm not stupid for playing with me. Maybe he's planning to use it as a blackmail. "You're with a woman? In a nasty position?" He asked while smiling. I didn't answer. His smile turned into a laugh. "A Watson will always be a player." He said and shook his head. "You have nothing to be afraid of. It's common for us to have a woman....in a nasty position!" He laughed again. He even hit the top of the table just to express his happiness. Fvck this! Maybe it's normal to have a girl. I don't! Besides Mom, Jay-jay is the only woman in my life. I have no plans to become a player. I have no plans to add a woman to my life. I look at him deadly. He seemed to get it and gradually stopped. I slightly lean on him and point my ï¬nger in his face. "Delete that picture Clyde or I will delete the existence of your secretary in this world." I said slowly. Word for word so he can understand clearly. "Why so eager to delete the picture? Afraid that your girlfriend might see it?" He said mocking me. "More than that." I said and slowly stepped back. "More than that Clyde." I don't want her to see it because she will get the wrong impression and that is not good especially that we're both in fatal situations. That picture will ruin the little hopes that we have. I can't afford her to suffer again because of me. It will break me. He sighs sounds defeated. "Alright. I'll search for it and delete it for you. So you can sleep peacefully tonight." I didn't say anything. I left his office and went straight to the conference room. I managed to look at and whisper to the employees I met. The woman was gone when I arrived at the conference room. I picked up the scattered papers and laptop on the floor. I picked them up and put them back together. I held them as I left and immediately approached the table of one of the employees who had ordered me to do this. He was a little scared when he saw me. I put the laptop and papers down in front of him. "I'm done. The copy is inside the laptop." I said and he slowly nodded. I turned my back on him and walked towards the elevator. I had no plans to go back to my table and follow their orders. My head was still burning and I wondered what I would do to the employees here. When I entered the elevator, I glared at the women talking inside. They fell silent and took a seat far from me. I felt traumatized by that woman. I couldn't help but be annoyed by women in pencil skirts. I took big steps when the elevator opened. I went straight to the parking lot where my service was waiting. Before, there was only a driver and a bodyguard waiting for me, now there was another car with another bodyguard. "Sir?" The driver asked. "Hotel." I answered calmly. I closed my eyes while the car was moving. That woman gives me so much stress. Next time I will follow my instinct. If Keigan ï¬nds out about this, he'll ï¬ght me and say I'm careless. Oh fvck! What if Jay-jay still ï¬nds this out? I loose her! I can't loose her! I can't! I can't! I will die if I loose her. "We're here Sir." I opened my eyes and got out of the car. I suddenly feel goosebumps. I know our monster Father has left because of the order of the Hotel owner but I feel like he still has eyes left here. I went straight to our suite. Honey is the ï¬rst one that I notice. She's talking on her phone but her eyes are on me. "Yes, I will." She said before ending the call. "Keifer, follow me." She walked out of the suite and went straight to their suite. She took the paper bag from the coffee table. "Everything is ready. Just wait for your signal to go." I opened the paper bag and looked at the clothes I had bought her. "Just stay in my suite for tonight." I put the clothes back in the paper bag. "Send this to the room using house keeping or food delivery." She nodded. "Why don't you tell Keigan?" "Better to be that way." She didn't say anything. I left their suite and went back to our room. I went to my siblings ï¬rst to see if they were okay. Keigan is sleeping on his bed. There's a book on his chest and his eye glasses are on top of it. I took both of them and put them down on his bedside table. I also covered him with a blanket up to his chest. Visible lines of exhaustion are showing up on his eyes. That's one of the reasons I don't want to tell you my plan. He's tired and he's going through something he doesn't want to tell us. I'm sorry Keigan, I have plans you don't need to know about. I turned off the lampshade and left his room. I went to Keiren's room. He's awake and currently putting some clothes in his backpack. "Kuya, Honey said you told her to ask me to do this." He said before zipping close his bag. I walked over and sat down next to him. "Yes. I did tell her." "Why?" I ruffled his hair. "Are you angry with Kuya because Dad almost got you?" He shook his head. "I got scared. I know he's a bad guy." There's no point in saying 'No', he's a smart just like his Kuya Keigan. But I still don't want him to think that way. That guy is really like that . "I always heard Kuya Keigan cursing at him. Saying things like, rapist, murderer and a living demon. So I know he's a bad guy." He explained making my mouth gap open. I lost my words. Unable to say a thing. I can't believe Keigan said that. Maybe he did experience traumatic things when he's with him. "Your brother is just angry. Don't mind him." He looks at me as if he's not accepting my explanation. I took his backpack and put it on top of his bed. I also helped him put his other things in a bag. I only sent him a little but he was stubborn. "Kuya, why do I need to leave? Is Kuya Keigan coming with me? I don't want him to be with me." I laughed a little at his last words. He was really smart. I didn't have a clear explanation yet but he immediately got that he was the only one leaving. "He's staying with me." I said as I closed the zipper of his bag. " You're not bringing anything? That's all?" He nodded shortly. "So, why do I need to leave?" He stood up and I sat down to catch up with him. I adjusted his jacket and his hair. "Big brother is weak, I can't protect you, especially now that he's nearby. It'll only be a few days or weeks before we can be together again." "It's okay, I know you're busy. I don't want to be here either." I force myself to smile. "Promise. After this we'll go anywhere you want." He smiled widely. "Can we go to Ocean Park?" "Yes we can." I stood up and took his bags. When he left his room, Honey and a Food Service crew were waiting. Honey handed me the paper bag where I would wear it and some things I would need. "Good evening Sir." He greeted me. "Ms. Honey already explained to me everything." I nodded. "I'll wait outside." "This is the area without cctv cameras." He said and showed up his phone with a map. He pointed to the area where I can wait for them. The people he pointed out were familiar to me so I had no problem. I need to trust this person because he is the only one who can help us. It should be quiet and not too much of a scene so that no one notices. My Dad has his eyes everywhere inside this hotel. If I make a mistake, I will lose my brother. What if what happened to Keigan happens to him ? I might not be able to handle it. "I'm leaving now." I declared and faced Keiren. "When this man does something to you. Do you know what to do?" He nodded and walked towards Honey. He helped her get on the bottom of the cart covered with a white blanket. I also put Keiren's belongings and the paper bag he gave me there. I left the suite and went straight to the parking lot outside. My driver and bodyguard met me. I got in the car and when we got far away, we stopped at the place indicated by the Food Service Crew. The driver and bodyguard got out to drop me off.That was the plan, I would just take Keiren to his destination. I moved to the driver's seat. I checked my wrist watch. 30 minutes. That's my grace period for that man. If he's not there by then, I'll ï¬nd him and make him regret it. Only a few minutes had passed but I was already getting impatient. I planned to smoke but I forgot to buy one. I also remembered the agreement Jay-jay and I had about cigarettes.
