Chapter 8

I can't forget what happen yesterday. I hope Canon will eventually change himself so I will no longer needed to deal with his rudeness. I quickly changed and ready myself to work. I went downstair and I didn't saw Canon. A driver also approached me that he will send me to the office since Canon go to work early.

It's unusual for him to go to work early since he usually go to gym first to work out before he ready himself for work. He have a healthy life style and he always disgust me whenever I ate in can foods. He always eat a sald which is a food for animals. Sorry to offend you guys but Canon is look like an animal. I laughed at my own thoughts and the driver look at me as if I'm a mental hospital patient.


I immediately look for Canon in his office but I didn't saw him.
Where the hell he is? Janice approach me as always, she clung herself to my shoulder.

“Let's go to the mall later! I want to buy new lipsticks!” She said cheerfully, I just agreed since it's been a long time I last go to the mall. We came back to work and I tried to call my parents.

“Hello, Mallory? How's work?” Mommy asked. I smiled when I heard her sweet voice.


“Doing good.
How's Dad?” I asked.


“He's doing fine.
He actually missed you. When will you visit us?” She asked.


“Maybe when I have a free time, Mom.
Take care. I have to go back to my work.” We hang up after that call. I missed them so much, I wish I could stay at home like always but all things already changed. If we divorce, I can go back to my normal life.


At lunch break, I didn't saw Canon.
Is he busy or out of the country? Maybe he have a meeting in other places. He's a CEO we can't really tell when will he's available. Janice and Elvis approach me and we ate lunch together.

“I didn't see Mr. Stutter today.” Janice stated.


“He's in other company having some business stuff meeting.
” Elvis answered looking so bored.


“Why are you so different today?
” Janice asked.


“Nothing.
” He answered. I have the feeling that he's sad because I didn't bother to hang out with him. But I can't let him assume things that we can be together. I don't do dates when I'm still married. He's a nice guy, he will find someone better.


As soon as our work done, Janice invites me to go to the mall and we also invite Elvis and he accept that.
We watched movies, it's better this way. We have Janice, we aren't alone watching together. We roam around the mall, we go to the cosmetic section and Janice bought a cosmetic products, she even tried to put some light make up in my face.


“You look pretty.
” Elvis said. I blushed by his sudden compliment. I'm not used to compliments since I knew that I'm not that attractive unlike other girls. I'm just a simple petite girl. I don't think I'm special.

We shop some clothing, I also bought for Mom and Dad. Elvis voluntarily brought our shopping bags, he didn't bought anything, he's just like a body guard of us. I laughed at my own thoughts. He looks dashing while holding the shopping bags.

We ate dinner and we talked a lot of things. I discover that they're working at Stutter Company for almost three years now. They are really afraid when Canon is mad, but Elvis said that he doesn't. He's also a man so he's not afraid of Canon.

Janice talked about how kind Canon is, I want to cover my ears since he's not kind but the moment I heard that he gave that bonus, vacation and allows them to travel in different country without spending money. He paid all the expenses, even the plane ticket, food and a hotel to stay during the trip. He increased their salary whenever they did something he likes. But he fired those people who talked behind his back and doesn't competent enough.


I came home around 9 pm and I thought Canon wasn't home yet but I saw him sleeping in the couch at living room.
I saw how angelic his face is, I want to touch his porcelain face. He looks so handsome even though he's sleeping. How come this handsome creature has the angelic face? Maybe he talk to the devil to give him such handsome face. I laughed at my own thoughts.

Canon eyes slowly open and I met his gazed. My eyes widen when I woke him up and he heard my life. I immediately stand up and run in to my room. That's so embarassing! He catched me watching him sleep for pete's sake!

What the hell is wrong with me? I find him handsome.. I'm drooling over him!

I punch my pillows and shouted loudly. I hate how stupid myself is. Did I just stare at him while sleeping? What he's thinking right now? That I have a crush on him? I'm not a teenager highschooler anymore! I slap my face.


The door open and I saw the shock face of Canon when he saw how I slapped my face.
My eyes widen and I immediately covered my face with blanket. God, help me.. I'm so stupid, I'm an idiot! I heard him chuckled a little.

“Crazy..” I heard him say before he left my room. Now.. he thinks that I'm crazy! How come the man I despise the most became the man I have a crush on! I'm blushing.. my face is hot.


“Let's eat dinner.
” He said and I didn't bother to went downstair, I'm so shameless if I still did up show up myself to him after I embarassed myself in frony of him. I'm the most brave woman if that's happen. Sadly, I'm not!
