Chapter 19: You Asked For This
"Get me an appointment with Rui tomorrow!" Xander instructed his assistant on the phone while he was selecting a few more bags for Yera. Rui was his doctor and closest friend, who was also the only person in their hospital who knew about his condition.
Something abnormal was definitely going on with his body. Nothing like this had ever happened to him before. His body kept reacting uncontrollably to Yera, and it actually alarmed him.
’Geez, before you were complaining because you couldn’t get your buddy up, and now when it finally gets up at its own will, you are complaining too. What do you want, dude?’ He chided himself. He was sure Rui would say the same thing to him tomorrow.
Xander scratched the back of his head irritably... And smiled awkwardly at a saleslady whom he caught staring at him. Even that awkward smile could still make the young woman blush. And Yera saw that.
She could only shake her head. Fine, she concurred, this man was indeed an eye candy, who could just captivate anyone effortlessly with his smile, which was still his best asset.
’Did he plan to buy all of those bags?’ She mused, seeing Xander was choosing even more.
"Stop buying. This is more than enough..." Yera said from behind Xander, which startled him.
"Are you alright?" Yera asked as she looked closely at Xander’s flustered face. She naturally touched his face.
"Your temperature is normal, but how come your face is flushed like that? You’re sweating too," Yera asked with a furrowed forehead.
