Angelica's POV

Jonathan went inside the car and left me hanging, I can't say a word. Why does my heart beat quickly right now when he is close to me, what's this feeling? I felt so weird, he called my name to get in and I snapped back, in reality, to get in. I was sitting beside him and the car felt hotter inside, I wiped off the beads of sweat that were forming on my forehead.

"What's wrong?" he asks.

"Nothing, it feels hot in here." The chauffeur looks at me in the rear view mirror.

"But it's already cold in here, Ms. Park," the chauffeur confirms.

"Is that so?" I fan myself.

"Why are your cheeks getting red?" Jonathan asked and he leaned closer to cup my cheeks, I blushed even more. Then I accidentally looked at his lips before I swatted his arm with my hands, both the chauffeur and Jonathan were surprised at my reaction.

"Hey, what did you just do?" he asks.

"Just... Please, don't talk to me." I put my hands on my face and pretended to sleep, I didn't even know that I did fall asleep by pretending to do so...

Jonathan's POV

I heard a snore when I was busy checking the file reports on last month's sale, Angelica fell asleep. I scoffed and noticed that she was rubbing her hands on her arms to get warm, so I removed my suit and put it on her. I looked at the time, midnight. Odd, we were just talking for a brief moment, and then it's already midnight... I don't feel the coldness since I can keep myself warm, I noticed her phone vibrating. I looked at it and read it accidentally.

I just remembered her birthday, maybe that's why she was hiding her face. Was she embarrassed? She doesn't seem to respond, but another vibrate comes up and reads it again, accidentally.

Why does she have two accounts? I was disrupted when the chauffeur asked me.

"Where shall we go, sir?"

"The best place to celebrate a birthday party...?" I asked him, instead of looking at the rear mirror, he looked at me with an unsure look and nodded halfheartedly.

"The Deluxe Hotel, then," he says and I used my phone to text them the address.

I opened Madison's contact to text her.

I waited for them when we arrived at the hotel, I put her on the bed as she sleeps humbly on the bed, I kinda laughed when she suddenly talked nonsense. But when I was about to leave, I heard her say something that made me stop in my tracks.

"I miss Nathan so much, sir. Why can't you give him to me?" she slurred, I just sighed and left. When I opened the door, I found them slowly making their way into the kitchen.

"Here's the cake you asked for, grumpy boss."

"I wouldn't say that, Angelique." Madison defended me, I smiled, but it quickly dissipated when she said something to her. "Not when he's around." They both laughed and my upper lip twitched and the chauffeur announced himself.

"When are we going to wait for her, sir?" he asks.

"Depends," I said and the laughter stopped, they both looked at me seriously and her sister's eyebrow was furrowed.

"I wish I could punch him," she whispers loudly at Madison.

"Don't say that, he probably needs a good beating when this doesn't happen," she whispered back loudly.

"I think two rats are talking to each other," I said to my chauffeur and he snorted.

"That's probably a good one, sir." he smiles and I look back to see Angelique trying to punch me but nudges me only when she sees me looking at her, the doorknob fidgets in the room where Angelica was sleeping. We all became quiet and waited for her to open it.

ANGELICA'S POV

When I opened my eyes, my sight fixed, and saw myself lying down on an expensive bed. I gasped and sat properly before I went to the door, it's kinda hard to open it. What's wrong with this? I fidget around the doorknob and when it clicks, the outside is dark. I don't know why my throat croaks because of the thirst. I touched my pockets if my phone was there and when I felt it, I opened it and used the flashlight to find a fridge. When I found it, it was in an odd place. In the living room, I looked around and no one was there.

"In 3... 2... 1." the lights turned on and three people greeted me "Happy Birthday, Angelica!"

"Oh my gosh, you guys!" I rubbed my eyes and when the foggy vision was cleared, I saw my sister, my best friend, and even my boss standing in front of me. he's not smiling though, I used my finger to grab a bunch of icing to rub it on his cheeks and his eyes widen in shock.

"What did you just do to me?"

"Come on, it's my birthday!" I laughed and rubbed some more on his nose, he used his hands to wipe it off and rubbed it on my sister. Which made her gasp loudly.

"You said it's for her!" Angelique exclaimed.

"It's my birthday!" Jonathan failed to imitate my voice and ended up laughing harder. I fell to the floor because of laughter and they started to grab a handful of cake and started to throw it at each other. I just watched and laughed and later a platter of the cake was on my face and Jonathan laughed even harder than I.

"You're on," I said and followed him around, throwing pieces of cake on him. But he was too fast, I ended up stepping on my other feet and in a blink of an eye... I landed on someone, accidentally brushing my lips on someone.

"I think we have a couple," Madison says happily.

"Hope they're a good couple," when I looked at that someone, it was Jonathan. I stood up and ran back to the room.

"Don't be such a killjoy, it was just a kiss. There's no meaning to it," Madison said proudly and Angelique started laughing.

"Why is Jonathan blushing here? Was she your first kiss? I mean, you already kissed at the venue, so is she?" Then they became silent when he answered.

"Yes."
