Mr Ohio was reading through me as i began to stutter again.

” I’m going to miss you Becca, but i willl be back before you knew it. Here is my card… you can call or send a message to me anytime you feel like. Please, take good care of yourself as always.

He dropped his complimentary card on the table for me.

his phone was ringing, he answered the call immediately.

I assume it was his cousin or his Mistress whom he called “Lili”

He appologize first to the person for delaying before saying that he was already leaving the office building and will soon join her.

He was still on phone when he waved me goodbye with his spare hand.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

As he walked out i began to wish he had stayed for a while.

He will only be gone for two weeks which seem like two years to me.

I collected the card from the table.

My other female colleagues were watching us from afar.

I guess they are wondering how Mr Ohio was nice to me, even interact with me freely.

I later got my monthly paycheck and was at the jewelry shop in no time just to pick up my engagement ring.

Those customer care ladies will probably wonder why i was buying a very expensive engagement ring all by myself but they dare not ask me such thing because is none of their business.

As i returned home, i acted a little funny drama with the ring as if a man was actually proposing to me and i said yes.

I acted as both the man and the Lady, which is me collecting the ring and sliding it into my finger excitedily.

Although it looks childish and stupid but i had fun playing the drama all by myself..

I took pictures of the ring as it was cooling off on my finger. I sent it all to Melinda.

The ring was so beautiful, it fit perfectly well on my finger. I couldn’t stop myself from admiring it.

I decided not to take it off. It may seem funny that i engaged myself but i was flunting it without care.

I started going to the mall more often, i even went to the cinema too.

Jojo came around to ask for Mr Ohio’s contact but i lied to her that i have not seen him for long because he traveled out.

She was not happy but was still willing to wait for him to come back.

When she saw the ring on my finger, Jojo screamed in shock.

She grabbed my hand to check out the ring properly.

Jojo exclaimed surprisenly, she was asking me a thousand questions at once.

She wanted to know who engaged me but i refused to tell her.

She tried different ways to get the answer out from me but i did not mention anything reasonable to her.

I only said I’m engaged to my “honey” and someday she will get to know him but for now I’m keeping him as a secret.

Jojo wanted to see my man’s picture, i told on a condition if she shows me who her “sugar is.

She did not, and it was a good thing to hide the real truth from her.

Jojo saw that she was not going to get the truth from me and left feeling sad.

When Anita saw the ring she did not push me to start spilling who the man is. Anita congratulated me. She was really happy for me.

She makes me feel guilty and sad but i try not to give room for sadness.

I thanked her for her kind wishes and acted as if i was truly happy.

I went to the cinema one day to watch one of the latest movies that just came out

I wore my ring and decided to give myself a good treat.

I did not inform any of my friends.

I have being living a lone life without anyone knowing what i was up to.

After the movie was over, people were leaving the cinema i sighted somebody.

I can recognise him anywhere, even in the dark.

it was his back view i saw first, i grabbed his face when he looked back.

i knew it was Richard even without seeing his face.

He was with a slim, fair, tall lady and she looks familiar.

The lady looks so much like Jojo. Same shape, same height and different hairdo.

They walked side by side.

I followed as fast as possible.

people were obstructing my view but i try to find a way through.

I kept an eye on my target, i don’t want to miss them.

I want to know the Lady that was with Richard.

I followed them up without any of them knowing.
