Chapter 76

Inside his room, he lay her gently on the bed. This reminded him of the past when he took the drunk Triffany back to his house and lay her on his bed.



He smiles gently as he watched her. "Hey, Triffany." He called out.



"You're rude." She muttered and open her eyes gently. "You know I.. love yo..u." Carlos beams to hear this. "But then.." she closed her eyes without completing her speech.



"Then what," Carlos asked curiously.



"You wanted to make..a..fun out..of me." She scoffed. "You..you.." She opens her eyes again. "Kiss..kiss." She stutters pointing at his lips. "Kiss. You rude jerk!" She cursed him. "You should have a drink to it. Why..did you tell your friends and sister..do you have..any idea how I feel?"



Carlos was enjoying this, now he had the idea to get her drunk whenever he wants to hear her deepest thoughts.



"How did you feel? Have you ever wish to kiss me before?" He asked her, but before she could answer she closed her eyes. "Hey! Hey, answer me before you sleep. Hey!" He leans close to her when he notices she was mumbling something.



"You can't even be my knight in shining armour," Triffany mumbled. "Rude Carlos...you're so rude." Just as he was getting close to her face to hear her more clearly, she opened her eyes.



He jerks back. "Hey, you scared me."



She furrowed her brow. "Don't take advantage of me because am drunk."



Carlos scoffs. "Who told you I will do that?" He asked her and she started laughing. Carlos was surprised and puzzled. "What's funny?"



Triffany stop laughing. "I know you wouldn't take advantage of me." She sniffles. "You don't even love me...you only see me as a pillow when am so close to you."



"I wake up by your side on the bed, but..." Tears filled her eyes. "You sleep so...soundly and comfortable like you don't feel me close." Carlos looked at her, this was when he realized that she does watch him when he sleeps.



"Do you have any idea...do you know how many times I...wake up looking at your handsome face and your.." she gently closes her eyes.



"And my what?"



"Your sexy lips..." Her tears rolled down her cheek as he followed the trail of her tears to her lips. "Why do you have to be so handsome...what do I...have to do to get your attention? When am like a stranger to you." She mumbled and drifted to sleep.



Carlos watched her for a while. "You're not." He pulled the quilt over her shoulders, switched off the light and left the room.



Triffany woke up the next morning with a hangover and she rushes into the bathroom and vomited she washed her mouth and yet vomited again.



Carlos saw her leave for the bathroom and went after her, he packed her hair while she vomits. When she was done he rolled a tissue and gave it to her.



"Why did you have to drink so much when you can't even handle it?" Carlos asked her as she washes her mouth again.



"Did I ruin the party last night?" She looked up at him.



"Absolutely." he folds his arm and leans back on the bathroom wall.



"I've never taken that much alcohol before now, I feel sick." She sat on the bathroom floor breathing softly.



Carlos look at her and scoffed because he knows that she had taken more than that before. Well, that was the first time maybe she can't remember. "Whenever you take alcohol you become wild and you've taken that much before."



"When?" She tries to think.



"The first day I met you, you were drunk while delivering pizza I have to take you to this mansion." He reminded her. "So you should be grateful to me each time. Do you know how much trouble you caused me?"



She looked at him again. Did I cause lots of trouble?" He shook his head.



"It's just useless since you can't remember anything... oh my head." He held his head and left the bathroom, leaving her wondering.



...



After a long day of work at the publishing company, Tommy looked at Triffany's face. "You look a bit pale today, are you alright?"



Triffany smile. "I got a little hangover today, but am fine."



"I hope you're okay?" He asked worriedly.



"Yes. I ate some porridge this morning."



"Alright." Let head out. We got a thing to do then." Tommy picked his phone and some file while Triffany took her bag and they left the office together.



Carlos sat down with Elvis Daniel to sign the contract, Felicity and Philip were also present there.



Elvis gave him the file. "Here, you will sign here and here."



"Okay." Carlos went through it and signed. "Done."



"Thank you." They both frown hands as Felicity arrange the documents.



"Tell me who we're expecting," Carlos demanded.



"Tommy Maxwell," Elvis said as the name sounds familiar to him but it was from Tiffany's lips he heard it. Yes, it must be that her friend. "And a female."



Carlos looked at Elvis. "Tommy Maxwell and who? What's her name?"



"Triffany Joey."



"Huh!" Carlos looked at him with a wide way and parted lips as they turned to him. "Triffany Joey?"



"Yes." Elvis nods in affirmation. Elvis gave him their resume as Carlos went through it.



"This finally happened." A smile form on his lips.



"What!" Elvis looked at him.



"Nothing." Carlos put his stamp on the file. "I will work with them." He stretched out of his hands for a handshake with a smirk on his face.



Carlos sat down in his office looking at Tommy and Triffany's resume and picture. "So the both of them will be working on this project with me and he's the guy she always goes with and the popular person she always talks about."



He scoffed, put down Tommy's resume, holding only Triffany's as he looked at her picture with a smile on his lips. "Finally you're coming to my company which you despise so much."



"It wouldn't be a shock to her." He leans back as he touches his chin. "But then she'll be doing the work together with this guy."



He picked up Tommy's resume again. He looked at Tommy's picture and frown. "He looks good but I'm more handsome." He exhaled softly.



He looked at the wedding ring on his finger and wonder if Triffany is wearing her ring too. He put the resumes away and press the extension button as Felicity came inside.



"Sir."



"Call Elvis Daniel and have him bring them tomorrow, we will start tomorrow, it's better to start early and end this quickly."



"Okay, sir."



"You may leave now." She turned to leave but he called her back. "Felicity."



"Yes sir."



"Do I have any other schedule today?"



"No sir."



"Then am leaving, tell Shanne Cole to prepare the car. " Felicity left the off and Carlos got up and picked up his coat to leave.
