Charlotte's POV I don't know what will be Jack's reaction after I close the door on his face. I should have asked him to stay a little longer or offered him some tea since that was the least I could do for him to bring me drinking water. But what I did was horrible, and I knew it was because of the foreign feeling that I felt. I don't want to look like a fool in front of Jack. I kept my distance from him because his intoxicating scent alone made me want to come closer to him and hug him. I didn't…

Jack's POV "Hey, you have to be more patient, Jack. I have plans, and I am sure Charlotte will buy them," Cecily said as she sat beside me on the front porch. I felt frustrated that she got her second date with Charlotte and that I was stuck in her house. I told Mario I didn't want to stay at the staff house anymore; I wanted to stay here in Cecily's house since I was having fun and I loved her company. And he questioned me if I had some feelings for his sister and told me he would love to have me…

Charlotte's POV "You came!" I exclaimed the moment Cecily sat beside me at the waiting shed. "Of course," she replied with a broad smile on her angelic face, and before I could ask how she was doing, the bus arrived, and we climbed the bus giggling. I felt so happy to ride a bus. I never imagined myself riding public transport, and I realized it was fun and far from what I had imagined before. Growing up, I always had a driver in going to school since my parents were busy running our business, and…

Jack's POV I clenched the phone with my fist after Charlotte hung up on me. I couldn't believe that she only called me to tell me that she wanted to know if I gave her a legit number; I couldn't believe her. I felt so excited that I received a call from her only to find out that she only wanted to ensure I was not playing with her. I shook my head as I slowly turned around to walk toward my room. "Aren't you going to tell me what she wanted with you, why she called you at this hour, Jack?" Cecily…

Charlotte's POV I knew it was still early to tell, but I had already liked Cecily; I felt she was different from everyone in this neighborhood. Almost everyone who rode the bus said hi to Cecily, and I could tell she was famous in this place. She must be since she looked so beautiful and friendly. I knew I didn't usually trust a stranger, and I don't particularly appreciate talking with someone I had just met, but with Cecily, it felt like I had known her for a long time. Cecily didn't ask me personal…

Charlotte's POV Jack had been long gone, and I felt frustrated as I heard his truck drive away from our manor. I was clenching my fist as I held my phone tighter. I tried calling Lucia, but her phone was out of coverage. I looked tough and brave in front of Jack, but after I realized my life could be in danger, I ran towards the main entrance of our house; just in time, I saw the tail lights of his car fading away as he got out of the archway of our estate. "You are such a fool, Charlotte, he came and…

Jack's POV I was singing my favorite song as I listened to it on my playlist, blasting on the stereo of my pick-up truck. I knew it wasn't my truck, but I had to pretend it was mine to convince Charlotte. I need to persuade Hunter's sister I could be her driver, and I was hoping she would allow me to rent a room in their manor before the renovation ended since I knew Hunter asked to renovate the place not only for me but for his men who were working on their estate. I felt excited as I got near the…

Charlotte's POV "Jack?" I asked without fluttering my eyes; it felt so surreal to see him again; I thought he had already left Barcelonia. My heart raced as I looked at him, climbed out of his pick-up truck, and walked closer to me without taking his gaze away. I stood on the pavement with my mouth agape as I stared at his handsome face; he looked so boyish, wearing simple clothing—a pair of faded jeans and a plain white t-shirt. He took the grocery bags from my hands, which was when I snapped back to…

Charlotte's POV The entire house was quiet after Jack left, and I felt so lonely; I admit I became lonelier after he left. I was stupid for letting Jack go because of my damn pride. I walked around the house, and I started to worry about how I was going to clean the entire manor. I couldn't stay here without maintaining its cleanliness. I hate specks of dust and bugs. But I don't have money to pay the maids anymore. I spent my entire morning lying on the bed in the master's bedroom, and Jack occupied my…

Jack'sPOV I could say flirting with Charlotte Divenson was the easiest thing to do, yet it felt like leaving her was the hardest. I carried my suitcase after looking at the master's bedroom where I stayed for the night. I knew I was a nobody to her since she is a Divenson, after all, she used to have so many suitors. These different men came from wealthy families, but I have never seen her dated or become exclusive with anyone, or maybe she kept her love life so private that no one from the outside world…
