    ” Dad…., Let me go “She mumbled again and I kissed her forehead.


    She calmed down almost immediately.


    What’s wrong with her?


    Two Hours Later….


    MAGNOLIA POV


    I woke up feeling so tired and stressed out, Gosh!, I slept because I want to rest, Why did this have to happen to me?


    The Nightmares are back again, I sniffed and wrapped the duvet around me before stepping down the bed.


    Bed…..


    Wait…, Who dropped me on the bed?


    Howe?


    I remembered I slept on the floor.


    I bit my lips gently and tried walking away, Then, Maynard entered.


    He led me back to the bed and I smiled.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    ” Is there a problem? “I asked gently not knowing what to say and he nodded.


    ” You were having nightmares, It’s not night yet, But it seems something is haunting you so I have to take you to the bed ”


    ” Oh…, not really, There’s nothing hunting me, I just feel a little bit tired ”


    ” Magnolia “He whispered and interlocked our hands together.


    ” I knew we just met few days ago but if there’s anything disturbing you, You can tell me about it ”


    ” Maynard, I’m fine, Trust me “I mumbled and he pushed me back to the bed.


    He tucked me in and I slept off again.


    ?~?


    Maynard set the table and I start eating immediately, It’ste at night already and I can’t wait to sleep again.


    I’ve been sleeping so much these days.


    In the course of eating, Fleur called, I excuses myself from Maynard and rush to the corridor to pick it up.


    I hold onto the rails and smiled.


    ” Hey, How are you? “She asked immediately and I chuckled.


    ” I’m fine, I guess ”


    ” You called me yesterday’s night that you were going to meet Gael, I expected you to give me the feedback but you didn’t, Is there a problem? ”


    ” Not really, The reasons why I didn’t give you a feedback was because it turned bad, Gael tried forcing himself on me and Maynard came, I will exin to youter ”


    ” I think Maynard likes you, Maybs that’s the reasons why he’s always there to help ”


    ” Not this time around, He made things worse, But I will scale through this “I said with a smile and she nodded.


    ” How did he make things worse? “He asked and I sighed.


    ” I will exin to you once I’m back, Fleur, Don’t question me again” I shushed her and she chuckled.


    ” It’s night already, You should go back to the bed, Make sure you use protection ”


    ” Protection?, For what? “I asked not knowing what she’s saying.


    ” Con*doms of course, I’m sure Maynard isn’t ready to be a father ”


    ” We aren’t in any way dating, Fleur, you should understand better than this ”


    ” I don’t want to understand anything, Make sure you use protection, I can’t risk anything ”


    ?~?


    I walked back to the room and met Maynard working on hisputer.


    He changed his dress to a blue cardigan and short back jean, He scratched his head softly and I walked up to him.


    ” I think you should go to bed “He advised and I roll my eyes.


    ” I’m not ready to sleep, I’ve been sleeping since ”


    ” While I’m here working my as*s out, I’m doing your job already, Magnolia, You owe me a lot “He said and turned the chair to me.


    I fiddled my hands together and he pushed me to hisps.


    I smiled gently and he wrapped his hand around my waist.


    ” Maynard, Don’t you think we are going too far? “I stuttered and he scoffed.


    ” We are going too far or you’re making me go too far? “He questions back and I gulped down nothing.


    ” No, I mean, There’s nothing between us right?, I don’t think it’s safe for us to start frolicking around here and… ”


    ” Then, Why did you behave like that yesterday’s night?, I mean, you were hurt because I told Gael to talk to you ”


    ” No, The reasons why I was hurt is because you knew how Gael hurt me, You shouldn’t have told him to talk to me, I mean, you should have chased him away ”


    ” Not like we have anything together, Why will I…. ”


    ” It’s okay, I will go sleep now “I interpted rudely before scampering away from him.


    He walked after me and grab me immediately.


    I wiped my tears away and he smiled.


    ” Go to sleep, Magnolia ”


    ?~?


    We got to the conference hallte which is my fault, I woke upte.


    Maynard went ahead to sit beside the CEO of the secondpany while I upied the remaining seat.


    “Hi “The guy sitting beside me greeted and I bowed slightly.


    He’s kinda cute and has a good physique as well.


    ” You’re pretty “Hepliments and I nodded.


    Gosh!, I hope Maynard isn’t watching, I don’t want to have any issues with him.


    Four hourster…..


    I jotted down all the points they talked about inside my notepad.


    Maynard was busy working on theputer while the CEO makes his analysis.


    Gosh!, I’m so tired, I feel like sleeping again.


    The contract was signed and we snapped few photos together.


    ” I think we need to have dinner together, Maynard, You have a good personality “The CEOpliments and he smiled.


    ” Sure, I will be in my room, Once you’re ready ”


    ” No, We are going together now, we have lots of things to catch up with in my office ”


    ” Oh, Alright “He said with an eye roll and I waved at him.


    ” Hey, Care if we grab lunch together? “The guy sitting beside me walked up to me and I nodded.


    ” Sure ”


    ?~?


    We drank and talked till 8PM, He’s fun to be with and also handsome.


    I wish Maynard can be this free and jovial but he’s workaholic.


    ” So, I will leave now, I need to take my bath and rest after a long day “I said smiling and we hugged partly.


    I opened the door to the room and Maynard was in already.


    ” You’re here? “I stuttered and drop my bag.


    He only nodded and opened the bottle of water, He gulped it down at once.


    ” I’ve been here since 5AM, I canceled the dinner because I want to spend time with you, But I didn’t see you when I arrived, So, where have you been?” He asked and I rubbed my sweaty palms together.


    He seems a little bit angry.


    ” I was with Adrian, The guy who sat beside me in the conference hall ”


    ” And that’s the reasons why you left me hanging here? ”


    ” You should have called me so we can spend time together ”


    ” I called you more than ten times, Check your phone “He snapped and I bring out my phone from the bag.


    I unlocked it and saw the several missed calls.


    ” My phone was on silent, I’m sorry ”


    ” Listen to yourself Magnolia, You left with a strange man for the past eight hours, You couldn’t even give me a call to ask about my welfare, you went out with a man ”


    ” But you said you won’t worry yourself about me, I can go out with any man I want, I’m not yours ”


    ” Oh, Really? “He asked breathing heavily and I nodded in fear.


    Gosh!, He’s so angry right now.


    ” Then, Tonight, I will make you mine ”


    ?~?
