Tay.

"You're making me dizzy. Can you just sit down?"

I threw Off a glance before plopping down on his sofa. Across me was Gun who just gave me a reassuring nod.

"Seriously, what are you so worried about?"

I heaved a deep breath and grabbed the nearby throw pillow. The nagging feeling in my chest was still there as I recalled New's question last night which I unfortunately, failed to answer.

"My team is acting weird," New told me as we were having dinner.

"Why?" I asked, trying to sound as normal as I could despite the nervousness that was starting to bloom in my chest.

"We were having our usual team meeting earlier. Everything went smoothly but their statement kinda confused me."

"Wh-what was it?"

"They asked me if there was anything that I don't like about the preparations and even told me to change anything that isn't to my liking."

"They're just asking you as their team leader. I don't see anything wrong with that."

"But they said something else that confused me."

"Wh-what?"

"They said that you want the wedding to be perfect for me. I mean, did you really say that? We're not the ones getting married in the first place."

"Should I just fire the person who asked him that?" I glanced at Off but he just scowled at me.

"What did you tell New then?"

"I want everything to be perfect for our clients and of course for you since I know how dedicated you are to your work."

"You know what, Tay, you're a great businessman but you're not a great liar. And besides, what's with all this scheme? Why don't you just tell New everything?"

"Are you crazy? I already went this far and besides, I really want to surprise him."

"Pssh. You and your love for surprises."

"He even surprised New when he left without a word," Gun interrupted before letting out a laugh.

"Yaah, we're already over that phase."

"I know, I know. Just remember that if you ever leave New again, I'm gonna hunt and kill you in your sleep."

"Psh. As if that would happen again."

"Love?"

"Hmm?"

New didn't even spare me a glance and just continued folding our clothes that had been left unattended for a couple of days already as we were so busy with work.

"Which one do you think is nicer?" I scooted next to him on the sofa and showed him the pictures of suits on my tablet.

He furrowed his brows for a second but immediately pointed the dark blue suit.
