"He couldn't even call me. How annoying!" Joreen grumbled the next morning during breakfast, getting everyone's attention. Oblivious to the fact that all eyes were on her, she sighed and dropped her phone back on the table.
"What is wrong? Who pissed you off again?" Her stepfather, Jaime asked.
"Who else is capable of making Jo this angry? CEO Li obviously." Reen pointed out.
"Shouldn't you be happy then? You always complain he is like a hawk watching your every move. Now, you are away from his eyes—" Her mother started.
"But still—" Joreen hissed, "I think he is deliberately trying to piss me off whenever we meet." She narrowed her eyes and began to think seriously, "Why do you think that is?" She turned to look at all of them. From Reen to her mother and to her stepfather. "Why would a man normally want to annoy a girl?"
"You are asking me?" Jaime pointed at himself and raised a brow.
