” Really! We missed you too ” La replied, emphasizing on the word * We *.


    As much as Shane would have loved to stop them, he couldn’t so Bryan wouldn’t find out he was in love with his secretary and not his wife.


    La gasped inwardly when she remembered they were in Shane’s office and Shane had been watching. She bit her lips slowly before ncing at Shane. ” Um.. I should go back to work, I will see youter ” She said and Bryan nodded. He understood immediately that she had to work.


    ” I’m sorry sire ” She apologized and Shane was forced to nod even went he was burning in anger and jealousy deep down.


    La rushed out of the office and Bryan turned to Shane in smiles while Shane had to cover his angry expression into a neutral one.


    ” She’s so pretty and nice ” Bryanmented and Shane had to force his head to nod. ” So where did you meet her? ” Bryan asked Shane but he kept mute. Bryan chuckled. ” Oh yeah, that’s a dumb question. She probably came herself to apply for a job ” He muttered to himself. He was so happy and in smiles that he couldn’t notice the res Shane was giving him.


    ** The Girl’s Apartment **


    ” Argh Argh ” Mirah yelled on top of her voice and La covered her ears dramatically. ” Stop ” She groaned but Mirah didn’t stop.


    She knelt in front of La. ” He came? You saw him! He talked to you! ” Mirah eximed and La nodded. ” Wow. Did you tell him toe visit us? ” Mirah asked and La shook her head. ” No, but he said he’s gonnae ” La said and Mirah screamed again.


    ” Oh my! My crush! ” She gushed and dashed into their room. La chuckled out loudly but it faded away when she remembered Shane’s expression when she was with Bryan. ” Gosh I even blushed. What’s wrong with me? ” She snapped at herself with a sigh.


    Mirah dashed out again but this time looking so pretty in her dress. It was a short fitted blue gown and she came out stunning in that dress that even La couldn’t help but drool.


    ” Wow! You’re looking so hot ” Lamented and she smiled. ” Of course.. ” She walked over to her and bent down, turning her back on her. She pointed at her unzipped zip and La understood what she meant. She helped her with the zip and Mirah smiled satisfactory.


    ” You know he didn’t say if he was taking us out ” La tried to say but Mirah scoffed. ” He’s surely taking us out, that’s one thing I’m sure off. Gosh I missed his handsome face. This time around I’m never letting go of him ” Mirah said with a baby face. La chuckled.


    ” What if he’s married? ” She teased and Mirah hissed. ” He dared not else I’mma strangle him ” She said and La chuckled.


    Mirah was about saying another thing when the door bell rang, she gasped out loudly. ” It’s Bryan ” She whispered and La nodded. La made to stand but Mirah was quick to rush to the door.


    She twisted the door knob and was disappointed to meet with Shane instead. ” Shane.. ” She called and Shane shed her a smile. She essed his body and he was looking handsome and dashing in his outfit. He was putting on a white shirt which exposed the upper part of his chest and a trouser. Mirah would have been drooling by now if only he were Bryan, but he wasn’t. But she couldn’t doubt the fact that he was looking so dashing.


    ” Who’s it? ” La was forced to stand when she realized Mirah hadn’t said a word ever since.


    She was also suprised to see Shane. ” Shane ” She called in a whisper and he shed her a light smile. ” I will excuse you two ” Mirah said and walked away.


    Shane traced Mirah’s dressing as she walked away. ” Were you two nning to go out? ” He was forced to ask.


    La shook her head a bit. ” Not really, Bryan said he was… ” She trailed off when she realized what she was about saying. Shane’s brows were raised.


    ” About Bryan.. ”


    ” You wanted us to go out right? ” La cut him off trying to avoid that question tho she knew she would have to tell him the truth sooner orter.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    ” Yeah, will you? ” He asked in a soft tone and La nodded. ” Yeah, I will go get dressed ” She might as well go out with Shane instead of Bryan so Mirah would have enough time with Bryan alone.


    ” You two are going out? ” Mirah asked as La entered their room and began searching for a cloth to put on. ” Yeah ” La replied. ” You’re noting with us ( She and Bryan ) ” She asked and La chuckled.


    ” Like you really want me toe with you guys ” She teased and Mirah smiled sheepishly. ” When he asks of you what should I say? ”


    ” Tell him I had to go do something at school ” She said and Mirah nodded.


    La walked out to Shane and he let out a simple smile on seeing her outfit. She was putting on a not too short skirt and a fitted blouse. She looked really stunning and breathtaking in the dress.


    ” Let’s go ” La snapped him out of his thoughts and he nodded. ” Ladies first ” He said and La smiled before walking ahead and Shane followed behind. He opened the back seat door for her and she smiled before entering. ” Thanks ” She muttered and he returned it with a smile.


    Shane entered through the other door and his driver drove them off.


    Almost immediately, Bryan’s car came to a halt in front of the Girl’s Apartment.


    He alighted from his car and walked over to the door. He knocked at the door gently and almost immediately, the door opened up widely and there was Mirah looking stunning in her dress and she had a big smile on her face.


    ” Hey ” Bryan greeted with a smile and she smiled in return. ” Hi ” She said, smiling sheepishly and Bryan chuckled.


    ” Where’s La? ” He asked, trying to peep through the door.


    ” She had to go do something in school so she isn’ting with us ” Mirah exined and she noticed Bryan’s face fell. She raised her brows. ” What? ” She asked confusedly.


    ” Um.. nothing ” He muttered and even one could notice his voice had changed. ” You don’t want to go with me? ” Mirah asked, pouting sadly. ” Of course not, let’s go ” He said with a forced smile and Mirah smiled brightly.


    ” Okay ” She said and after locking the door and hanging her bag on her arm, she led the way an Bryan followed behind definitely not interested in the outing anymore.


    He only wanted to go on an outing ’cause of La but now she isn’t around.


    **


    ” Wow this feels so nice ” Mirah gushed as she felt the coldness of the ice cream on her lips. ” Yeah ” Bryan was forced to say. It was really noticable that he wasn’t interested in the outing at all. They had gone to a mall, a restaurant and now they were trying an ice cream sold by someone in a stall.


    Mirah noticed she was only forcing herself on him and she sighed. ” Tell me the truth, you ain’t interested in this outing? ” She asked seriously and Bryan sighed before looking away.


    ” Come on, I’m serious! You’re only making it look like I’m the one forcing things here and I don’t like it ” Sheined. ” La should be home by now right? ” Bryan asked instead, checking his phone and Mirah suddenly understood what was wrong.


    She snatched Bryan’s phone angrily and he raised his brows. ” So it’s La and not me? Huh? ” She asked angrily.


    ” Mirah… ”


    ” Answer the damn question! You like La, I was never a choice right? It’s always been La! ” She yelled angrily and Bryan sighed, biting his lips.


    ” Great then. Thanks for all this, you can give them to La instead ‘ She said and threw the shopping bags Bryan’s guard were holding down to the floor. She also dropped the ice cone on the floor before running off in tears. Bryan sighed and ruffled his hair frustratedly.


    ** At A Fancy Restaurant **


    The two were eating in silence before La suddenly broke the silence when she knew Shane wanted to say a thing but was keeping it in. They were the only one in the restaurant.


    ” Bryan… ” She trailed off and Shane raised his head immediately in anticipation.


    ” He’s just a friend. I don’t feel a thing for him ” She blurted out.
