Chapter 83
Gabi was glaring at August when the latter realized her name was being called more than once
already. "W—What? I'm sorry." She can't get that encounter with Flynn out of her head the entire day.
"I don't know if something's happened today that's bothering you or you're just trying to avoid me
getting mad because you didn't tell me that you knew Pierre." Gabi pouted her lips as she looked at the
VIP ticket on their center table with her cheeks resting on her palms while they're both seated on the
carpeted floor.
She sighed soundly. Gabi already knows about her first boyfriend but not enough to go crazy like she is
now after knowing she knows Pierre. If she would know about Flynn being a prince, she'd probably go
nuts!
Besides, this Pierre thing is already making her head ache. She can only do so much!
"Again, I'm sorry for not telling you." She stretched her arm across the table to hold Gabi's hand. "I just
didn't want to get involved with anything that might put me in a very awkward situation with his fans.
You know, it's not even that long but there have been rumors about the members dating and stuff."
Gabi rests her head on the table. "Fine. I'm just sad that we'll be sitting separately during the concert."
"Well—" She cleared her throat. "It's a Friday night concert."
With her head still on the table and looking depressed. "Yes. It is."
"I'm working on a big project at work starting next week and that's a Friday night concert so I will not
have the chance to go—"
"Are you going to give me that ticket?" Gabi cuts her off as she sits straight.
She nodded. "Yes." Gabi screamed excitedly as she gives her a tight hug and only the words Oh-My-
God escaped her lips. "And Pierre agreed to get that merchandise and signature for you."
"Thank you so much!" She pulls away and stared at her face. "Are you sure there's no date with
Raven?"
"Are you sure you want that? That guy's a playboy." She snorted.
"Of course, he would be! He's hot!"
Her eyes widened in disbelief. "Gabi! That's not an excuse!"

The next days were pretty busy for August and the team. She's been working from eight until six or
seven in the evening. Somehow made her forget about Flynn but then, it's the last day of their work
week. That means it's their schedule to visit the site with them.
She feels nostalgic thinking about those days she was with Flynn in New York to visit the site for the
new airport. She drives her car to their building when she saw Jacob and the other teams at the
parking lot.
When they noticed her arriving, they waited for her to join them. "Good morning, August!"
"Hey, Jacob! Good morning! What's going on?"
"You're just in time." Jacob scratches his temple. "We actually just got a word and heading to the site
as what we've discussed in the meeting yesterday but—" He gave out a sigh. "—there are some last
minute changes with the groupings to visit the site. You'll be with Charlie and a few engineers and
scientists from the other firm. I'll be with our senior engineers, mechanics and—"
She nodded as Jacob continued to explain the last minute changes but then her mind wandered off to
the possibility of meeting one of Flynn's friends or Flynn himself. And she's not sure how she'd react
seeing him again especially after the incident at the restaurant.
She didn't realize sighing loudly next to Charlie. "That one was deep. Are you okay?" He heads to his
car with her and the other guys.
She gave out a short laugh. "Yeah. I'm good. Maybe just a little nervous." She lied. She'd rather do that
than be like a baby with these professional guys.
"You'll do great." Charlie assured her and the rest of the guys with them.
They finally reached the site and despite advising herself not to, her eyes were too busy looking for
Flynn. And he's not there! She hates to admit that her disappointment is greater than her relief. What is
wrong with me?
She then joins Charlie's team and the other engineers from the other firm. She's also thankful that none
of Flynn's friends joined their team. This is going to be a great end of the week at work!
She was walking behind the group as they walked in the lobby area of the airport leading to the
construction of the airport runways. The seniors and heads were discussing the progress of the
construction and all she needs to do was take notes and observe as a junior environmental engineer.
She was busy making notes on her tablet as they stood under the heat of the sun wearing those white
helmets. "Oh, you're here, Engineer Ferguson!"
By instinct, when she heard that name, her head turned to look around and she held her breath when
she saw Flynn standing next to her and smiling. "Yes. I was talking with the other team. Go on.
Engineer Lancer will discuss the progress here." He answered and stayed by her side. When the restThis content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
of the team continued to talk, she remained quiet and kept her eyes on her phone while taking notes.
"I'm happy to see you again, August."
She bites her lower lip as she breathes softly, calming her senses as she remembered that night he
said goodbye and disappeared in her life. "I can't exactly say that I feel the same way, Professor."
"I know you're mad and I've hurt you. I just—" He paused. "—I'd rather talk to you outside of work and
over dinner. I made a reservation tonight. I hope you'll come, August. I'll be waiting."
She kept quiet as she looked straight ahead.
"Were you dating that guy?" He asked after a few minutes. It's the only time she turned to look at his
face. "The guy with you at the restaurant a week ago."
So, my eyes weren't playing tricks on me? He was really at the restaurant!
