The General Who Hates Me

Torin shook his head, looking at Lyra"s drunk walking as she came out of the restaurant room. He quickly ran towards her.

"You"re so wasted!" he hissed as he supported Lyra to walk steadily towards the car.

"Oh, Bro… I really had a great time tonight. They all praised me, saying that I am full of potential to become one of our country"s most sought-after lawyers. Hahaha, those two-faced people! How can I become the most sought-after lawyer if they keep giving me clerical works?!" Lana shouted in her stuttering voice.

"Let"s seriously talk about your problems at work once you are sober! Geez! You drunkard!" Torin complained as he settled her in the pa.s.senger seat.

Lyra was so frisky that while Torin was fastening her seatbelt, she pinched his nose saying, "When you are scolding me like that, you are so cute, Bro!"

Then she cupped Torin"s face as if she did not get contented with what she was seeing.

"Look, you"re so handsome. How come you are still single, Bro?! You should get married soon!" said Lyra as she touched Torin"s eyebrow, nose…

When Torin felt Lyra"s hand on his lips, he abruptly flinched and exclaimed, "d.a.m.n! Stop it, Lyra!"

But the latter just laughed at him and pulled him even closer.

"I"m curious how a kiss would actually feel like. Can you show me?" Lyra whispered before her lips touched Torin"s.

Torin stiffed at that very instant. He felt his world froze!

The kiss deepened… But then it stopped…

Torin opened his eyes.

"What"s this?! How come you just pa.s.sed out like this?!" Torin complained seeing how heavy Lyra"s breathing was.

He let out a frustrated sigh as he gently closed the car"s door.

He stood there unmoving for a minute as he loudly inhaled and exhaled. It was possible that tomorrow Lyra wouldn"t even remember what she had done.

As usual, he would be the only one who would be tormented with the memories about it all.

"Darn!" he cursed irritably as he regretted that he insisted to pick Lyra up instead of calling Zach to do it.

"Why do you always torture yourself like this, Torin," he mumbled annoyingly as he walked to the driver"s side.

.........

The next morning, Keira received another call from John.

"What? Are you sure?" Keira burst out as her eyes narrowed and her face became gloomy.

Then a smirk replaced that dark expression.

"Such a coincidence, huh? Let"s see how things would turn out then…" she mumbled.

"Alright, keep me updated even about the slightest details." Said Keira before hanging up the phone.

"Geez, Miss is on fire, tasking us a lot, urghh?" Commented John and made Jim laugh.

"Here, drink this and let"s hurry they will soon travel to the General"s hometown," said Jim as he started eating his burger inside the car as they waited for Zach"s car to get out from the building"s parking.

They still followed Miss Kiera even when she was with the General, but they made sure their distance was enough to not get noticed or become a disturbance, especially on their dates because Miss Keira would definitely poke their eyes out.

"Gos.h.!.+ I just hope they won"t stop at the middle of the road like before!" Complained John as he recalled that night when Zach"s car suddenly pulled to the side of the road.

"Well, get ready because I"m sure they"ll have a lot of stopovers in the future. You know, lovers these days can"t help the urge to show their affection towards each other regardless of the place," uttered Jim laughing.

After an hour, Keira and Zach had already left the building to travel to Zach"s hometown.

"If you want, take a nap, because it will be a long ride," Zach said.

"We will arrive probably past noon so you should rest," he added.

Keira moved her body sideways and stared at Zach as she said, "Do you watch primetime news? At which network?"

Zach laughed at Keira"s question and said, "Of course, I do. Is there any other reliable network than the one managed by the Cooper? Why are you suddenly asking? Ahh, you want me to not miss a single episode since you will be one of their field reporters, right?"

Keira"s face wrinkled as she mumbled, "I"m not the main anchor news reporter yet. Can you skip watching that news until I get the position as the main anchor?"

Zach burst out laughing and looked at Keira, but he quickly stopped, seeing how deadly serious Keira"s face was at that moment.

"But I have to watch and monitor the news whether I like it or not. And we rely more on the media under Cooper Corporation," explained Zach.

Keira moved and looked at the road in front of them before she let out a long, deep sigh and murmured, "Don"t mind me… Anyway, I will work hard, so I"ll get promoted quickly. That way I will be the only one you"ll see during primetime news.

Zach had his car on a hazard to move at the roadside all of a sudden.

Then he held Keira"s shoulder and moved so that he could look at her closely.

"Hey, what"s wrong? I don"t need to watch the news for that because my eyes see only you at all times. Don"t you know that? Even if you"re not with me…" said Zach as he held her chin and continued, "This face is always popping up in my head. You also invaded the General"s eyes, I guess my falling star scattered in the General"s body that…"

"Oh, stop exaggerating!" Keira complained as she smacked Zach"s chest. This time she couldn"t help but chuckle at Zach"s over-exaggerated words that were aimed to make her feel better.

"But I"m not exaggerating. Come here," said Zach as he pulled Keira for a hug. He was a bit confused about why Keira was suddenly acting weird because he felt like it"s a bit childish, though she looked cute acting that way.

From a distance, John was cursing…

"I really hate whenever there is stopover like this. What are they doing anyway?" John exclaimed.

Jim laughed and commented, "You dummy, what do you think they would do? Play rock, scissors, and paper?"

John scratched his head as he started the engine when he noticed that Zach"s car had already moved back to the road.
