Will Pov
The car was wrapped in silence. I stared out through the window, watching the world pass by while my mind wandered back to a past relationship now I regret it. By the time I reached the office, everyone greeted me with cheerful good mornings, but I ignored them and headed straight to the lift, then to my cabin.
Nova brought me a cup of coffee, and I buried myself in work-meeting after meeting, one after another. By 3:00 p.m., I leaned back in my chair and took some rest, when a soft knock broke the silence. I asked them to come in... and it was Nova
Nova : Mr William I need your help
Will : I was shocked!! He had never spoken to me like that before, so I asked him what had happened ?
Nova : I need an assistant Mr. William
Will : ah.. Assistant.. did I hear correctly
Nova : yes Mr William.
Will :(i got angry) Can you please stop saying mr William first... And why you need Assistance all of sudden?
Nova : he rolls his eyes because I get bored so i want someone to talk 😅
Will : What the ...**?
Nova : I took a deep breath and said I wish, I want to share my work. These days I can't handle it alone-please hire someone before I lose my mind and file a complaint against myself 🤧.
Will : I Singh and Shake my head and ask the HR department about this .
Nova : Thank you so much!!😁
Will : I received a notification-it was my mom. A reminder for the date she had fixed for tonight, complete with the location. I really didn't want to go, but I had no choice. Everyone might be scared of me... but I'm scared of my mom
Nova: "Bro, we have to go for your date."
Will: I sighed and said, "Let's go."
We reached a five-star hotel. Anger burned inside me, but I forced myself to stay in control. I walked to the table where the girl was waiting. The moment I saw her, my mood darkened-her smile felt fake, her face hidden behind heavy makeup. She quickly introduced herself. Her name was Oliviya.
Oliviya: "Finally, I meet you, Will!"
My jaw tightened. Only my family was allowed to call me that name, and hearing it from her pushed my patience to the edge. I swallowed my anger and kept my face cold.
Will: "Yes. I think you should know-I'm a busy man. I have a lot of work to do."
I spoke without changing my expression, my tone distant and unreadable.
Oliviya: I know you're a busy man, and that's exactly why I didn't mind waiting. I saw your pictures before, but meeting you in person feels different... you carry yourself really well. I think we'd get along nicely. What do you think. 😉
(She said in a flattering tone)
Will : Enough 😡. Don't flatter yourself. Who do you think you are? Do you really believe you're the only woman who looks beautiful? You're not.
Let me be clear-I never wanted to meet you. This whole thing was forced on me. You've covered your real face with layers of makeup, as if hiding who you truly are, and that dress feels more like an act than confidence.
I don't like pretenses. I don't like performances. And I definitely don't like people who try too hard to impress.
Here's my advice-if you ever meet someone like me again, be real. Don't dress for attention. Don't speak for approval. She was totally speechless and i leave the place, i don't want to hear her voice anymore.
Nova : ( I was in the car, peacefully vibing to my playlist. The moment Will got in, the temperature dropped like winter arrived early. I glanced back-he looked like boiling water with anger. I froze for a second, then immediately started the car. At that moment, I realized one thing very clearly: silence is survival. One word. and I'd be dead meat) 😵💫
Will : Go to Beach
When I reached the beach, the cool air touched my skin and wrapped my heart in peace."Everyone says the beach calms the mind", and now I believe it. Whenever I feel stressed or sad, I come here.The waves slowly reduce my pain and give me clarity.
I sat quietly, and Nova sat beside me in silence.He understands me well.
He knows that when I am angry, I become cold, so he keeps his distance.
I relaxed and thought about today, I didn't talk to the girls like today the way I did,I feel guilty, but I don't show it to anyone.
