My Ex Next Door

It's been a week since Ken and Novie move to his apartment next to his office. Ken has been busy adjusting himself to the work and Danny has been by his side supporting and helping him with all the question he had.

The week was hard for him, especially at night, he always had a dream and nightmare which causes him to wake up in the middle of the night.

His whole body sweat while his chest beat like a drum, but everything will disappear with Novie's help. She's been in his side day and night and just like now, she's in his office, sitting on the couch and reading a book.

He was seated in his chair behind the desk with papers filed up in front of him, he put the velvet pen he had in his hand and looked at Novie. His brow creased when he realized that she fell asleep.

He got up and looked for a blanket but there's nothing around, he was about to call his secretary to get one when Danny handed him a blanket.

"Thanks" he uttered and slowly cover Novie's body. When the woman moved, he noticed the engagement ring she was wearing.

He looked at it closely with his head tilted, then he turned to face Danny and whispered, "Did I buy this engagement ring?" he asked in in confusion.

Danny looked at him and whispered back, "Hm… well, you bought it and asked Daniella to design it. She cut the diamonds by herself to match your taste" Ken nodded and got up.

He still doesn't understand why he stayed at Daniella's side and was so dependent on her, based on all the stories he heard from his friends and Novie. He and Daniella were so close that he let her do whatever she wants with him.

He blows a sighed and opened his laptop, a smile curled up on his lips when a thought came in his mind. With that, his finger tapped on the keyboard to search.

The next day…

Novie was preparing her makeup when she heard the doorbell, her eyebrow creased in confusion when she realized that she's not expecting anyone to drop.

Her father has been abroad for his family matter, she doesn't know what it was about but her father told her that he will explain everything once he comes back while her mother and Brent went back to the province to look after their house.

Ken already went to his office while she's planning to send her resume to a public school to work. Even though Ken insisted for her to stay in the house, she still prefers to do something and being a teacher will make her life less boring.

When she opened the door, her eyes widened in surprise. She could not tell who's the person in front because of the huge bouquet of roses blocking their distance.

She was stunned, this is the biggest bouquet she had ever seen in her life. She gulped and hung her head to her side to look who the person was, then she found it to be the delivery man.

"Mister, I think you got the wrong house" She was not expecting for anyone to give her flowers at this time.

"Are you Novie McSalter?" hearing her name, a big drum pounded her heart. She bites on her lower lips to hide her smile but inside her heart was about to burst.

"Yes," she replied and widened the door.

"This is from Mr. Ken Chu" saying that the man handed the flowers to her and to her surprise a huge square box was included.

After she asked the man to put the flowers on the table and grabbed the card she found in the flowers.

(Wear the dress tonight, I will pick you up)

She covered a hand on her lips to prevent herself from screaming.

Then she opened the box and found a blue turtle neck dress and a pair of jewelry.

Suddenly, her plan of applying for a job disappeared and decided to go to the nearest salon to have her hair fix.

She wore her casual top and jean and about to leave the apartment when she noticed another cad in the flower.

She took it and a smile almost split her lips when she read the note.

(I don't remember what kind of flower you like but I think rose suits your sweet personality)

She could no longer hold it, she screams all her feeling while pulling her hair.

Another doorbell brought her senses from her fantasy world, she tried to compose her body but the smile on her lips remained.

As she opened the door, a loud scream let out from her lips.

"I miss you!!!!" Mila screamed and widened her arms to embrace her.

"Wah! Mila!" their scream echoed in the hallway. When the neighbor shouted asking for them to shut up, the two immediately went inside while giggling.

"oh my god! what are you doing here?" she asked excitedly.

Mila explained that she wanted to visit her since she will be going back to Seoul next month.

They decided to continue their chat in the salon and she finds out that Mila will not be going back since she will start her job in Korea.

Novie was disappointed but she's happy for her friend, even though they will not see each other they promised to always keep in touch.
