•  Kylie's POV 
“ We need to talk.” 
I glanced at the message contemplating whether to reply him back. It is very unusual for him to leave a short message that seem so disturbing.
I wonder what he want to talk about. I exhaled slightly tucking my phone back inside my bag, about to move an inch I remembered a lot of things.
One, I have not been going for my shoot.
Two, it's been long I have communicated with Bob; I miss him and I don't. All he talks about is work, work, work. So boring.
Three, I'm no more on leave, that means work.
My eyes widened in realization remembering I am no more on leave, like seriously how did I not remember. I took my phone from my bag again, unlocking my phone. I check the date and I released a loud groan in disappointment. It is May, freaking May. How did four months pass by and I did not notice. I should have requested for a longer period not three-months leave.
Should I call Bob ? I bite my lips looking at my phone, like it could give me an answer to my problems. Should I ? Definitely not.
I looked left and right hoping not to see any car that looks suspicious, his car might be lurking somewhere. Is that possible ? Definitely it is. Bob is so unpredictable.
Should I go back to school even if I have to put with that jerky ass ? And escape from Bob's scolding; trust me you won't want to experience it. So that is definitely yes.
I mentally cried as I turn back to school, wishing today was my day. It was definitely not my day, today was totally against me. I think the universe hate me today. I stared up to the sky, shutting it immediately as the sun blinded my eyes. “ What did I do to your universe ? ” I whispered, continue my walk back to school.
I found Ashton where I left him, he appears to be in a deep thought, his hands are tucked in his trousers pocket, standing, still rooted on the same ground he was.
“ Hey,” I snapped my fingers infront of his face, he flinched showing that his mind is here. “ are you okay ?” my voice lacing with concern, even if I'm angry at him, I can't help but to care about his well being.
  
I know it is bullshit but I can't help it. 
He let out a weird cough then open his mouth to speak, “ Yeah I'm fine.” with a faux smile, I just stared at him still waiting for him to tell him what's wrong with him. He sighed, knowing full well we are not going to leave this place until he talks.
He puffed out air then slowly turn to face me, “ Did you really--” he coughed, looking at him with so much emotions swirling in his eyes. I'm just imagining that. He scratched the back of his neck then talk, “ Did you truly meet with Mrs Helton ?” He asked and I bursted into laughter, laughing at Ashton whose cheeks reddened in embarrassment. 
“ Just to keep your mind at calm, I will tell you the truth, I didn't.” I told him, not wanting him to pester me the more and maybe because he looks like he want to cry.
Sighing in relief, he placed his hands on his chest then slowly a smile crept on his face and later turn into a smirk. Very bipolar.
“ You came back to tell me that,” as he said that, his smile broadened making me to chuckle. I brought my hands to my mouth, covering it trying to suppress my laughter. He always find a way to amuse md. “ Right ?” 
I took in a sharp breath then clicked my tongue shaking my head in pity at him, “ And he badly wish for me to say yes,” I laughed, mocking him, his face dropped. Now it is my turn to smirk at him, “ Sorry to burst your bubbles, no I did not come back because of you.”
“ Then why did you come back ?” He questioned, folding his arms on his chest and his brow furrowed in confusion.
“ Well that is not your business, it does not concerns you.” I felt my phone vibrating in my hands, Bob is calling me. I tightened the grip on my phone just wishing he should stop calling me. And he did, I love you Lord.
“ Your mouth says something else but your face says otherwise.” my nose scrunched up in confusion wondering what he meant by that, I opened my mouth to ask but closed it back. It is better to ignore him, if only he knew what is going on in my mind.
My phone dinged signifying a message has been sent to my phone, I double tap on my phone screen waking it up, then unlock it only to see a message from Bob. I did a silent prayer before opening it.
“ Are you in school or at home ? Wherever you are, meet me at Hotel Cadel.” the message says. I snorted aloud, did he think I will go ? Just ignore the message, Kylie. Go home like you planned to and rest.
“ I'm going home.” I told him, bringing my bag down then open it to put my phone inside. After closing it, I slung it over my shoulders.
“ Uhm...why ?”
I was about to speak, but when I saw Ray grumbling , his jaw clenched, his eyes squinted in anger as he walk pass us not even acknowledge us a bit. After for a while Anna came running towards him with tears dripping from her eyes.
That, is not my business.
“ What happened between the both of them ?” 
“ I don't know, I don't care, it is not my business...Goodbye.” I turned walking towards the gate. Stepping outside, I checked left and right searching for a red SUV but none was in sight. Phew! I'm safe.
“ Boo!” I flinched with a scream at the sound of the voice that behind me, taking me by surprise. 
I turned to cuss at the person who startled me.“ What the fuc-- fu...dge are you doing here ?” I laughed nervously, scratching the back of my neck staring at the culprit.
“ Why didn't you say that f-word ?” He did an air quote with his hands, “ You should have said it so that I could give you a knock on your head.” He said, eyeing me.
“ Hey Bob,” I smiled sheepishly at him, “ I miss you too.” going forward to hug him, he pushed me slightly away from me. Okay, that hurts.
He narrowed his eyes at me, running his fingers through his hair. He starts calmly, “ Kylie why ?” I gave him a perplexed look. “ why are you doing this to me ?” 
Oh God, he is guilt tripping me. That is how it starts, grom that to scolding. I'm in for it today.
“ Your break is over, you requested for two months break and you had four months break, you doubled it !!!” 
I laughed a little, seeing his stern face. I tucked my lips in trying to hold my laughter. His flushed face with his veins throbbing in his neck makes him look comical, I'm sure if we are in a cartoon. Smoke will be puffing out of his ear.
“ Do you think this is funny ?” I shaked my head saying 'no' even if I am tempted to say yes but I know that it is better not to deal with an angry Bob.
“ It looks like you think this is funny, well to me it isn't. Because you are not the one who woke up this morning to receive a call from the agency saying I'm an incapable manager, that it is my fault for you missing so many photoshoots, not coming to New York and the contract...”
“Contract ?! ” I screamed in surprise , which contract is he talking about.
“ Well, you see... Ehm...the contract...” he stuttered, letting out a cough, he closed his eyes and let out a sigh. “ The contract with Anissa food palace was almost terminated to become their ambassador.”
“ You say what ?!!” I can't believe I almost loose the contract to become my favourite restaurant's ambassador, I could have life supply of free food. How did I not know ? How am I just knowing now ?
“ Yeah, a contract, apparently they requested you to be their ambassador.”
“ And the agency did not let us know,” I scoffed in disbelief, angry at the agency for not letting me know.
“ Well about that,” He placed his hands on his neck rubbing it, “ They emailed me two months ago, I was to engrossed spending time with my family that I did not notice three months break was over, it is until this morning I received the call from the agency.” He answered looking away, feeling embarrassed.
I would have laugh at him; first time Bob being forgetful. If only he did not almost make me loose the contract.
“ What they said about you is true, you are an incapable manager. I almost lost the opportunity of eating free food, Have you tasted their steak ? Oh my God, it is heavenly. You should try it some time.” He rolled his eyes at him. “ Those photoshoots is all on you, I missed them because of you. I did not know I had other photoshoots, you did not inform me. So it is entirely your fault, you are at fault.” 
He let out an exasperated sigh, “ I know, that is why I'm trying to fix it. I successfully try to fix an appointment with them, so you can sign the contract today. That is why we are going to Hotel Cadel.” He explained, making me raise a brow.
“ You mean today ?” He nodded his head as response. “ No, no, no, no...” I chanted while waving my left index finger at him, “ There is no way I'm going today, prove that you are a capable manager and fix the appointment to another day.”
“ Why ?”
I shrugged, “ No reason.”
He inhale and exhale then inhale and exhale, he did it for a while calming himself down, “ No reason ? I do not care whatever you want to do today or why you don't want to go. Enter the car and let's go.” he said pointing to the black porsche parked near the gate.
I opened my mouth to speak but quickly close it when he shout stopping me from talking.
“ Shut up! Shut up! Don't speak! Enter the FREAKING CAR!!” He shouted, making me flinch at the noisy sound he made.
“ You should really stop shouting, it is not good for your health and you are giving a good headline for the news. Headline: Bob died of hypertension.” I laughed telling him that.
He smiled a little, “ Well if you don't enter, that headline is going to change, Headline : Kye got killed by Bob, that headline is going to make newspapers sell well.” He taunted me with a smirk etched in my face.
“ I should get inside the car.” I said  moving quickly to the black porsche, I opened the back door putting on keg inside, I turned to face Bob who cocked an eyebrow at me.
I smiled, “ You cleaned up nice,” I winked at him, admiring him from his slicked black hair to his outfit, I have never seen Bob wear a ripped jeans before. It made him look bad and boyish.  During those four months, Sophia must have changed his dressing. “ Sophia really took care of you.” I teased him wiggling my eyebrows at him.
A shade of red find its way to his cheeks, his lips tugged into a smile. His nomad-blue eyes twinkled. I placed my elbow on the top of the car, resting my chin on my palm. My smile broadened and I say to him, “ Oh my God, you are so in love.” in a teasing tone.
He quickly turn away from me not wanting me to see his reddened face, “ Shut up Kylie, enter the car now.” He deadpanned.
I laughed entering fully into the car and shut the door. He entered the car, igniting the engine, it roared.
“ Off, off we gooooo...” He sang in a comical way, starting the car. I placed my hand over my mouth, suppressing my laughter. These four months really change Bob.
“ I see you have been spending more time with Kimberly. ” I told him, referring to his four year old daughter.
“ Shut up Kylie,” He grumbled and I started laughing. “ I swear I do not miss you.”
“ Yeah, yeah, keep telling yourself that. Off, off we goooo.” I said mimicking his tone.
“ You are very annoying.” He groaned, focusing on the road.
“ That is what you love about me.” I winky at him, giggling at him. I missed annoying Bob.
“ Yeah, yeah , keep telling yourself that.” He said, repeating the same thing I told him.
I laughed, “ I really miss you Bob.”
“ I do too.” He admitted, making me smile at him.
Yep, he changed.
