HURT FEELINGS

Ch. 51 / 120 May 08, 2025

I sat down on the bed drying my hair while reading the note.

­

­

­

­

"I am sorry I slapped you, you are right , I was wrong for eating the cake that isn't mine, also I am sorry for harassing you and slapping you, I hope you forgive me. From Valerie.

­

­

­

­

Just then I heard loud laughter from Zoey's room. I got up from the bed, still wearing my bathrobe. I walked out of my room , stopped at Zoey's and peeped through the door.

­

­

­

­

"You should see your face, crying for Frog Prince's attention, you were even wearing his suit, don't drink too much next time, I was embarrassed for your sake, I never knew my brother can be soft to someone else, I think he really likes you,".

­

­

­

­

Valerie's face was still blank with no emotional reaction to her statement.

­

"I am leaving Zoey, don't prank people with a word as sensitive as bleeding next me", she scolded.

­

­

­

­

"I promise I won't, it's the weekend, stay by my side for today please, the house is boring".

­

­

­

­

"I wish I could".

­

­

­

­

She kissed her on the forehead and started walking towards the door, I went back into my room.

­

­

­

­

**VAL'S POV**

­

It's a new week Monday and I am yet to get over the fact that I said some embarrassing stuff to Mr Prince under the influence.

­

What will I say now, the boss is calling, you can't go to work in that company again, I am too shy to face him after what happened.

­

He called twelve times, still calling, I groaned and covered my face with a pillow.

­

I should turn off my phone, I said to myself but on a second thought, I decided to answer anyway.

­

­

­

­

"You are not here? Why aren't you at work today?"He asked.

­

­

­

­

I tried my best to give an answer , a good lie actually.

­

­

­

­

"Emmm, i... i..... I... am on my menses, the cramps hurt bad, so I had to stay back, please excuse me at the office for today".

­

­

­

­

He was silent for a while.

­

"How are you feeling? Is it too bad? Is there anywhere I can help".

­

­

­

­

Gosh why is he making it feel so hard for me to get over him.

­

I slapped him and he is being this nice.

­

­

­

­

"No! Sir, I appreciate your concern. I am a woman so I can handle this , it's nothing new".

­

­

­

­

"Ok.... I will keep checking on you".

­

­

­

­

"Please don't! It will be better if you don't call me, mood swings"I replied tartly, seriously he is increasing my anxiety level.

­

­

­

­

"O...okay , I also wanted to talk about yester..." ... I quickly hung up my phone and switched it off, throwing myself on my bed with her hands over my face.

­

­

­

­

"I feel so guilty",I growled.

­

­

­

­

****DANIEL'S POV**

­

Valerie called me a few minutes ago to tell me that she won't be at work for some reason and we should meet early for lunch so she can give me the full details.

­

­

­

­

I feel really bored without her here, maybe today is the day I will finally confess to her, I had to plan something so we can stay till nightfall then I can confess my feelings.

­

­

­

­

After all, I am no longer with my ex-girlfriend so she had to say yes right? Mr Prince came out of his office, the sight of him married my brows.

­

­

­

­

I wonder why Valerie kept it a secret instead of suing him and making some bucks, she didn't even tell me what he did to her exactly.

­

­

­

­

He stood at his door for minutes staring at Val's corner.

­

What's going on with him? Is he that obsessed with her? I really want to throw my hands on his face.
