“I thought you said acting like you was going to be easy, I never knew you were the gentle type.”, Heaven said to Nevaeh over the phone.
“That’s because we aren’t close, that’s why you should be very close to your twin.”, She replied.
“You slept with harry? You cheated on your boyfriend?”
“Who told you that?”, She asked.
“Let’s talk about it at home heaven.”, She said.

“There are many rumors I have heard about cold monster, I wonder what he’s like. I have never seen him before.”, Leon said on their way.
“I don’t know why but my heart is really beating very fast, I feel like I am getting sentenced.”, Mrs Janice said holding her chest to feel her heartfelt.
“I’m scared too.”, Ruby said lowly.
“Nevaeh will you be okay? I mean — working with him for five months even when you are trying to move on.”, Mrs Janice said and heaven just nodded.
“I have to talk less now, Nevaeh is the gentle type.”, She reminded herself.
“I guess his office is really in his house.”, Ruby said.
Manager James led them to where Rowan was.
“Good morning cold …. Mr Rowan!”, They said and bowed and Rowan only nodded.
He decided to wear a nose mask to cover his face, he has always been insecure of his face since he was very young. It was Nevaeh that has seen him with only a mask.
“Why is he wearing a mask, is it because he has social phobia? How will I even be able to break up with him?”, Heaven said and sighed.
“Those are your spot, I will advice you all not to move too close to Mr Rowan and in case you need anything, just let me know.”, Mr James said and they nodded.
“Mr Rowan do you need anything? Will you be okay or should I ask the chairman to reduce them?”
“No I can handle it.”, He replied and James nodded.
“Then I will be leaving now.”, He said and left.
Rowan looked at them closely, they were all facing down and their hands were trembling and he just sighed.
“I don’t eat humans.”, He said and they only nodded.
“You can make yourselves comfortable, I don’t want to make you all uncomfortable.”, He said and they nodded.
Rowan pondered on what to say but he just had no idea.
“Why is he wearing a mask? What caused his illness?”, Heaven wondered.
She couldn’t help but to be very curious about Rowan.
“Should I introduce myself?”, He asked.
“No there is no need, we know who you are. Let’s introduce ourselves instead.”, Mrs Janice said.
“I am Janice.”
“Leon.”
“Ruby”
“Nevaeh.”, Heaven said and he just nodded.
“I’m sorry if you have to come here from now henceforth for work, I can’t leave this house and I have to work too.”, He said.
“You can sit over there and work.”, He said and left.
“I almost lost my breath.”, Leon said.
“Is this how we will be till the next five months? I feel like I am suffocating here.”, Ruby added.
“I agree with you, he doesn’t even look comfortable around us. He was all sweaty as he talked to us.”, Mrs Janice said.
“Nevaeh why are you so quiet?”, They asked.
“I don’t know what to do, if I break up with him now, how will I face him for the next five months?”, She said.
“The situation would be so tensed and awkward, just do wh@ťěver your heart says.”, Mrs Janice said.
They all went to their respective seat and just placed their head on the table.
“Here is what we need to work on.”, Rowan said and placed it Infront of them.
“Nevaeh I need to talk to you now.”, He said and everyone looked at her.
“Let’s go.”, He said and pulled her to another corner where they weren’t going to be seen by anyone.
“I know that you are mad at me and probably embarrassed but I just want to apologise, I am sorry that I am not the type of boyfriend you want. I am not able to take you out and go out myself but don’t worry, I will try to work on myself.”, He said after he removed his nose mask.
“What should I reply him? Isn’t this the right time to break up?”, She thought.
“You deserve someone better than me, you don’t have to apologise for anything, you are not just the type of man I want and I am sure I am not the person you also want. I am a social person and you aren’t, we can’t work together.”, Heaven said and he just suddenly hugging her.
“It’s just my sickness but I’m already asked for help, I’m already taking my medication. I will get better son and I will be able to be the type of man you want.”, He said and heaven slightly pushed him away.
“Let’s stop this! Look for someone better.”, She said and he just stared at her and said nothing.
“Mission successful! This is so easy, I wonder why it was so hard for Nevaeh, such a walking.”, Heaven thought happily and was about working away when Rowan suddenly kissed her.
“What did he just do?”
“Does this kiss mean that he isn’t going to break up?”, She wondered.
“I love you Nevaeh, I really do.”, He said as he pulled out.
“Nevaeh this isn’t going according to the plan! This guy just stole my first kiss, I shouldn’t have agreed to this plan.”, She said inwardly as she just stared at him blankly.
“This is our gift for our anniversary, I was unable to give it to you.”, He said as he brought out a necklace from his pocket.
“Should I collect it for Nevaeh? Jeez! This is harder than I thought. I think Nevaeh should break up with him herself, I can’t do this, I shouldn’t do this.”, She concluded.
“Thank you but you don’t have to wear it for me.”, She said as she collected it.
“Let’s go hack before they become suspicious.”, She said and he drew her back.
“Does this mean that you are no longer upset? Will you have dinner with me after work?”, He asked.
“No.”, She abruptly said.
“I mean —- I’m sick, so I can’t stay here for too long.”, She quickly added seeing the Expression on his face.
“I will prepare a medical soup for you after work, please let me look after you, I will be very worried if I’m unable to take care of you before you leave.”, He said.
“You love me that much?”, She asked and he nodded.
“What if I don’t love you anymore, I love someone else and I want to break up with you?”, Heaven asked and he said nothing.
“Do you want to break up with me?”, He finally asked after a while.
“You deserve someone better and someone who will love you for who you are.”, She replied.
“But you are the only person that loved me for who I was, you are the only person that genuinely loved me. Do you want to break up with me?”, He asked again.
“Yes let’s break up.”, She said and they just stared at each other.
“I am sorry to break your heart like this but I really think you should move on from my sister, she loves someone else.”, heaven said inwardly.
Leon, Ruby and Mrs Janice lost their balance from where they were eaves dropping and they all both on the ground and Rowan and heaven turned to them.
Leon was the one on the floor, then Mrs Janice climbed on him and then ruby followed.
“We weren’t eavesdropping, we just happened to find ourselves here.”, Leon said.
“We honestly didn’t hear anything.”, Ruby added.
“Why do I look like the bad person? I only did as I was told and now I feel guilty, Nevaeh should have done this, I am done here.”, Heaven thought.
“Lets go back to work.”, Rowan said.
“Why did you all have to rest on me? They caught us , all thanks to you both”, leon said sarcastically.
“Don’t blame this on us, you should have worked out instead of carrying this pot belly of yours around.”, Mrs janice said after she hit his head.
“That’s not true, I don’t have abs but i have a flat tummy.”, Leon frowned.
“That’s because you are starving.”, Ruby said and they both laughed at me.
