The Writer's Romance 87 This Is I

"I am sorry, Sheen. Cj got in some kind of trouble in his school and the teachers demanded to see me," Clark apologizes.

Sheen smiled and nodded, "No worries, there's nothing else to do here, I'll buy something so you can go," she said.

Clark hurriedly wore his blazer and kisses Sheen before leaving.

"I hope he's okay," Sheen whispers as she puts the rest of the files on Clark's desk and went out.

She went down and asks where Louis is, after reading what is in the paper, she was not shocked.

She already knew that someone will find out about Cj and Clark's relations.h.i.+p.

"Oh, he went out to grab some coffee," a co-worker said but she somehow looks at Sheen nervously.

"Is something wrong?" Sheen asks.

The co-worker grabs Sheen in the corner and whispers, "Will you still love Mr. White if you find out that he's lying or he's keeping a secret?" she asks.

Sheen looks at her in confusion but as she remembers that the news already spread the truth, she sighs, "Don't worry. I love Mr. White no matter what."

Her co-worker sighs in relief, "That's good to hear. We don't want to see a lifeless boss again."

Sheen smiled and watches her co-worker walk away to her desk.

She decided to follow Louis since she sees him a certain coffee shop around this time.

Bea saw Sheen walk past her office and hurriedly followed her, "Sheen!" she calls.

Sheen turns around and saw Bea, "Hey."

"Come here," Bea whispers and pulls Sheen on a corner, "Have you heard?"

Sheen facepalms, "Yeah."

"Are you okay? Do you want to get wasted? Do you want to go out of town? I know you hate people who lie."

Sheen frowns, everyone seemed to be more concerned about her than Clark.

"I wonder how come Clark doesn't know about this," Sheen asks Bea.

"Well," Bea looks away, "Mr. Roger and I kind off told everyone to shut their mouth and Mr. Rogers cut off all the connections that may make Boss know about the issue."

"Bea, I knew. He told me a long time ago about Cj being his half-brother."

Sheen turns around, "Just... promise me, no one in this company should see this as a big deal. Clark did that to protect Cj."

"About Cj... he told me that Aria met up with him before at school... do you think that b*tch spilled the beans?"

Sheen groans, it is Aria.

But she can't let people get involved in this.

"I don't know, anyways, Wyn and I will be in your place later, right?"

Bea nodded, "Yeah."

"I'll be going then," Sheen said and left.

She stops by the coffee shop that Louis is taking a break and saw him sitting alone, sketching on his pad.

She entered and sits in front of him, "Hey."

Louis just stared at her and laughs, "You still want to talk to me?"

Sheen nodded and ordered herself a coffee, "Yeah. We only have 20 minutes left for break. I'll go straight to the point. Aria... he's not a good older sister. She wants to use Clark to have the company. Families aren't supposed to do that," she said and bites her lips from remembering her relatives.

Louis rests his chin on his hand, "Oh? Speaking from experience?"

Sheen nodded, "Yes, and if you explain things to Clark, I'm sure he will understand. You just need to fix things that you destroyed."

Louis scornfully laughs, "That I destroyed? Excuse me? Everything about Mr. White is a mess. You just came and he forgot about it."

Sheen takes a sip of her coffee and just blankly stares at Louis, "You won't turn your back against Aria, right? Because she can take your job away, she can take everyone's job if you won't help her."

Louis stops laughing and clears his throat, "I'm creating your character from the latest book," he showed his pad with a drawing of a king.

Sheen took it and stared at it, "I kind of imagined him having a long hair but this is better," she said and smiled.

"You know, the people who will never be the king needs to find someone who can protect us. But your female lead, she's like you. Stubborn, strong, confident..." Louis showed another drawing of the female lead to Sheen.

"Aria helped me meet Clark. She's the one who made me have this job and I am thankful for that because I met a lot of amazing people. I know she's greedy and rude and a b*tch. But... without her, I wouldn't be here."

Sheen listens to Louis as she looks through his drawings.

"I never wanted to hurt Mr. White, all I wanted was him to understand that Aria's his sister."

"And now you're endangering Cj's life. I heard that he got into trouble because some of his cla.s.smates found out that he's not Clark's son."

"I know."

"And you're fine with that?"

Louis shakes his head, "No. I didn't want that brat to get into trouble but... I have no choice."

Sheen returns Louis pad with a drawing of his face by Sheen, "I used to draw but I am not that good so I went into writing because it's almost the same. And Louis, we can owe someone our life but that doesn't mean that we have to destroy it just to get back to them."

Louis pinned Sheen's drawing and put his pad in his bag, "So you're saying I should leave Aria? But how will I thank her?"

"Haven't you done enough for her? All she did was arranged your meeting with Clark, staying in the company was all about your own effort."

"I'll keep that in mind, but for now, I'm on her side. Thank you," Louis left a bill enough for his and Sheen's orders, "That's on me," he pointed at Sheen's coffee.

"Thank you," Sheen said and watches Louis walk away.

Aria watches the news about Clark and laughs with Wyn, "So, they bought that I'm with you scheme?" she asks with a cup of tea on her hand.

"Yeah, they totally did. Especially Sheen," he said but he slightly frowned.

"Oh, don't tell me you're still thinking about this? We hid everything well, no one's suspecting that we bribed their clients to go to your company."

"Yes..." he said and takes a sip of wine, "By the way, father said that he wants to meet you. He wants to thank you for helping our company."

"Hmm," Aria raises both her eyebrows in excitement, "The Great Mr. Lee? Of course, I'd love that. Mr. White, Clark's dad, was a good friend of your father but after the affair, their business partners.h.i.+p was cut."

Aria laughs and stands up, "Since we already finished the three steps, movie, clients and the secrets are all destroying them, let's just wait for their downfall."

Wyn forms a fist as his jaw tightens, "I can't wait."

"Yeah, see you around. And oh, Sheen and Louis were spotted outside. It's a good sword to strike Clark with," Aria said as she walks her way to the door.

"What?" Wyn stands up, spilling the wine on the table he accidentally moved, "You're not planning on making a scandal about those two, are you?"

"Hmm," Aria turns her head to look at Wyn with a devilish smile, "I am. Don't worry, she'll still fall into your arms."

Wyn's eyes went wide as his strength leaves his body.

"Sheen!" Bea called as they are both on their way home, "Where's Boss? He didn't come back?"

"No..." Sheen shakes her head, "Maybe he's busy scolding CJ."

They both waited for a cab to take them to Bea's place since she's already getting tired easily with her tummy.

Some of the workers made their way and decided to walk some are waiting for cabs as well.

But they all let Bea and Sheen ride the first cab that arrived, "Thanks, guys."

"Yeah, just be sure to make us G.o.dfathers and mothers," they waved goodbye to Sheen and Bea.

"Ha! It's good to be pregnant in times like this," Bea said and taps her tummy.

"I heard Cha's due dates around the corner..." Sheen said as she composes a message for Wyn.

"Yeah," Bea smiled and saw Sheen's phone, "Wyn's already at my place. He brought some chicken nuggets and popcorn and a lot more!" Bea sighs in excitement.

"Really..." Sheen smiled and looks away, staring at the city on the window.

"You know what? I heard something from Dan, but don't tell anyone, okay? It's a secret since I only heard it while he's on the phone."

Sheen looks at Bea, "What?"

Bea leans to Sheen and whispers, "Wyn's stealing out clients and business partners."

Sheen pushes herself away from Bea in shock, "What are you saying? He won't do that! He's on our side."

Bea squinted her eyes, "How can you say? Since he got jealous with your engagement, he's been a different guy! I just can't bring to accept that I think of him that way since I like that guy."

"He's our friend, how can you say that?"

"Oh, come on. He's our friend but not Boss' friend. And we both know that he's not also that close to Kady or Blue. He's already something since day 1. Remember? He played to be someone he's not?"

"Shut up," Sheen rolled her eyes and folded her arms and stared outside as they stop for a pedestrian.

"Oh...kay..." Bea whispers as she notices how Sheen buries her fingers in her arms.

She does that when she wants to burst.

"Thanks!" Bea said as she watches the cab drive off.

Sheen made her way to Bea's apartment alone.

'She just doesn't know about the plan. I shouldn't get too affected by her words,' Sheen tells herself as she tries to calm down.

She saw Wyn leaning on a wall in front of Bea's door with his phone in his hand.

He seems to be quite red, "Wyn?" Sheen called.

Wyn turns her head to her way and a tear is streaming down his face which shocked Sheen.

"Hey..." She ran to him, "Are you okay?"

Wyn wipes his cheeks and smiled, "I brought this." He showed a bunch of foods in his hands.

"Are you okay?" Sheen worriedly held Wyn's shoulders.

"I am. Don't worry. I was reading a review on your book and it kind off touched me so..."

Wyn saw Bea and made an excuse to run to her, "Bea!"

Sheen was left uneasy and just follows Bea and Wyn inside.

"Excuse the mess... I was feeling lazy since we got back." Bea said.

The room was a bit of a mess with some unfolded laundry on the sofa and some wrapper and cans on the center table.

"Well, I should clean this so we can watch a movie together," Wyn said and put the foods on the table and went to take a garbage bag.

Bea and Sheen look at each other, they know that something's wrong since Wyn's not the type of guy who gets bothered by mess.

"Is he okay?" Bea walks to Sheen and whispers.

"It's because you said some mean things about him," Sheen teased Bea.

"What?"

Sheen shakes her head, "Don't worry, he's fine. He's just... tired."

Bea went inside the kitchen to cook rice while Sheen is left cleaning with Wyn.

"You know you can tell me anything, right?" Sheen looks at Wyn as she wipes the table.

"I know," Wyn replied and tied the garbage bag.

After eating dinner, they changed into pajamas and went to watch movies together while they all sit on a foam on the floor.

"This sucks," Bea groans and stands up to go to the comfort room, it's been the third time for the movie they are watching.

Wyn and Sheen laugh, "I wonder if you'll be like that," Wyn said while watching Bea slips into her slippers.

Sheen furrows her brows and turns her head to Wyn, "I wonder if you're going to ugly cry like earlier when you first see your kid."

"If it's our kid, I would," Wyn smirks.

Sheen rolled her eyes and looks back to see Bea standing beside them, shocked.

"Yeah, what a nice joke," Sheen fakely laughs as she pushes Wyn to pretend as if they are teasing each other.

"I was not joking, right, Bea?" Wyn looks at Bea who's making her way to sit beside Sheen.

"Yeah, whatever. I'm keeping your flirty actions in secret, cousin. Don't worry." Bea said and continues to watch the movie.

"I am not flirting," Sheen defended herself and raised her brow at Wyn.

"I was," Wyn smiled proudly and looks at the T.V.

"What's your problem?" Sheen yelled at Wyn, making Bea get surprised.

"Hey, Sheen, calm down. We are just teasing you," Bea said and pulls Sheen away from Wyn.

"Why are you angry?" Wyn laughs, "Or you're really flirting with me?"

Bea looks at Wyn and gestures him to cut it off but he moves towards Sheen's face and kisses her.

Bea and Sheen stand frozen in surprise.

"You like that, don't you?" Wyn asks with a smirk.

Bea was the first one to react, "Hey, that's crossing the line, Wyn! Just say sorry to Sheen and we can stop teasing each other," she said as she sweatdrop.

"What? Didn't your husband tell you to never bring a guy over during the evening or spend a whole night with a guy?" Wyn asks and stands up and takes off his s.h.i.+rt.

Bea gestures to stop but Wyn pulls Sheens to his side, "Don't worry, Bea, we won't be loud."

Bea stands up and put her hands on her hips, staring at Wyn in disbelief.

"Stop it," Sheen whispered.

Bea looks at Sheen worriedly and decided to leave the two alone.

"Why? We're only getting started." Wyn asks as he rubs his face to Sheen's hair.

"What's your problem?" Sheen asks in a soft voice as she pulls her hand away from Wyn and touches his chest, making him freeze.

Sheen puts her hand on Wyn's face and slowly moves her face closer to his, aiming for his lips.

"Stop!" Wyn said and pushes Sheen away.

Sheen smirks, "You're a coward. I'm already beginning to doubt you but this..." Sheen stared directly at Wyn's eyes.

"This is it. I don't know who you are anymore. You're not my MC anymore..." Sheen said and storms off, leaving Wyn looking down on the foam he is standing on.

Bea appeared, "Gerwyn Lee... You can leave now. You already made her hate you, you're done?"

Wyn looks at Bea, surprised that she knows what he's doing.

"Don't look at me like that. I just watch whatever's happening in front of me. And I figured out that since you're shady, and you might be feeling guilty over it, you want to make Sheen hate you to save yourself from the painful reaction of hers since she trusts you so much."

Wyn nodded, "I almost forgot that you can see right through people." He sighs and took his things and wore his jacket, "I think this will be the last movie marathon we'll ever have."

"Yeah, for this year. I hope you can fix your mess so we can really finish this marathon."

"Why are you not angry? I forced myself to your cousin, hurt her, and I know you're suspecting me of things."

"Because... you're the first friend I met with Sheen. Blue and Kady are annoying. But you're weird and I like it when Sheen's with you. She's too weird and she only gets normal when she's someone less weird."

"You're weird yourself."

"And you're going to be a G.o.dfather no matter what."

"Thanks. I hope you will never change your mind."
