Chapter 145 - Keeping A Secret

Renz couldn't hide the surprise on his face. He didn't expect any of this. Of all the girls, why did it have to be his fiancee's best friend?

The thing that they did during the Bachelor Party became a greater sin. He didn't imagine that they would see each other again under these circumstances.

Renz's heart was filled with anxiety. He was so worried that Micaela would tell Selene what happened between them.

If that happened, Renz was afraid that Selene would back out of their wedding. No! He couldn't let this happen. Only three days left before the wedding.

'What should I do? Should I confess to Selene what happened to me and Micaela? Will Selene forgive me? Will she understand me? Or should I tell her after the wedding?' Renz's mind was in shambles right now. He didn't know what to do.

Meanwhile, Micaela was enjoying Renz's surprised and worried expression. She knew that he was not looking good because he was worried that she would tell Selene what happened to them.

Fortunately, Micaela had no plan of breaking her friendship with Selene yet so she would not tell her personally. But she could blackmail Renz so that he would listen to what she wanted just to keep her silence.

She would try to pressure him in this photoshoot. She would put him in her grasp, not letting him go.

'Just you wait, Renz Chou. I will make you mine. Then you will begin to fall for me and do whatever I want. With this, we can easily take our revenge.' Micaela thought to herself.

She smiled at Renz meaningfully. She started pretending this was the first time they met each other.

"Hello, Mr. Chuo. It's nice to finally meet you. My best friend, Selene, is always mentioning you to me. I heard a lot of good things about you. Please take care of my best friend!"

Renz felt relieved when Micaela pretended she didn't know him before. But he was still nervous that Selene might know.

With an awkward smile, Renz answered her with a simple, "Thank you."

"Micaela, go to this room. Your dress is already prepared there. The hairstylist will do your hair and makeup as well. We will start our photoshoot after everyone is done," Selene informed Micaela.

Micaela bobbed her head with a smile. She glanced at Renz one last time before she turned around to leave.

Renz felt uncomfortable because of Micaela's presence. His bright mood suddenly changed. He was now in low spirits.

'I should talk to Micaela in private. I hope she will not mention anything about that night.'

"Selene, wait for me here, okay? I will just get something in my room," Renz said as an excuse. The truth was he planned on following Micaela and talked to her secretly.

Selene nodded her head with a smile. "Okay. Just be fast. The photographer might call us for the blocking."

"Yes, Ma'am! I will be quick!" Renz said, reassuring her.

When Renz left, Samantha approached Selene. Samantha was also done with her hair and makeup.

"Selene, did you see Gabriel? Is he not here yet? Did he fail to convince his boyfriend to come?" Samantha asked Selene curiously.

Selene had no idea either where he was now. He was also late.

"I didn't receive his message. I'm not sure if he is coming with his boyfriend or not." Selene exhaled sharply.

Samantha also sighed deeply. "I'm so excited to see his boyfriend. I hope they can make it today."

Selene smiled. She was also curious who would be pretending to be Eros's boyfriend.

"Don't worry, Sam. Gabriel promised me that he would bring his boyfriend today. Maybe they are on their way now." Selene reassured Samantha.

"Really? Yes! I can't wait to see them together!"

Selene giggled seeing the excitement in Samantha's eyes.

"Gosh. I couldn't believe that Gabriel is gay. If I don't have a boyfriend, I will try to seduce him to make him straight!" 

Selene let out a soft giggle upon hearing that.

"Speaking of your boyfriend, is he coming here today? Will he also join us?"

Samantha sighed frustratedly. She invited him but too bad he was not available. Mr. M told her that he had a business trip today.

"Jack can't come today. He has a business trip. But he said he would attend the wedding."

"Hmm, okay. So he will not be here."

"Yes, he will not! Argh! I think I should try stealing Gabriel from his boyfriend. Haha, can I seduce him?" Samantha said to Selene jokingly.

Selene just smiled meekly. 'Seducing Gabriel? Not a good idea. What if Gabriel will give in? He is not gay.' Selene thought to herself.

"Samantha, forget it! Even if your boyfriend is not around, you should not flirt with another man," Selene responded seriously, not wanting Samantha to seduce Eros aka Gabriel.

"Haha. I know! I am just kidding, Selene!"

Meanwhile, Renz was able to catch up with Micaela. He pulled her towards a place where no one could see them.

"Renz," Micaela softly called his name.

They were now alone in the hallway.

"I didn't know that Selene is your fiancee," Micaela told him right away, pretending she was saddened by this discovery.

"Micaela, I hope you will not mention anything to Selene. That night was just a big mistake," Renz said, reminding her.

"No, it's not! You enjoyed it. And I cherished it. Admit it, Renz. You liked what happened. You let me do it again the next morning." Micaela insisted.

Renz frowned upon hearing that. His expression darkened.

"You are wrong. I didn't like it. I regretted it!"

Micaela pretended to be hurt. "You are hurting my feelings, Renz."

After saying that, Micaela turned to leave. But Renz grabbed her elbow to stop her. He needed to hear an assurance from her that she would not tell Selene.

"Micaela, please promise me that you will not tell Selene… please keep it a secret," he begged.

Micaela glanced at him before exhaling sharply.

"Tonight. Go to my room. We will talk about this. I have to go now. I need to change and do my hair and makeup. The photoshoot is about to start."

Micaela removed Renz's hand that was holding her elbow.

"See me tonight… " she reminded him before turning to leave.

Renz was left standing in his spot, watching her back as she walked away. He had conflicting thoughts about this.
