**PRINCE'S POV**
After that day I thought she would come back but she didn't. I was losing my mind and the voices in my head continued blaming my weakness in every of my horrible nightmares.
I think it got worse since Valerie, it had never been this loud in my head, maybe because I was fighting back.
I was fighting not to let that voice control my emotions.
A week later my legs were healed and so I had to resume work.
I got back to the company, the employees greeted me with concern except Val, she pretended to be busy with her work.
I didn't get a sight of Daniel either.
I stood by Daniel's desk . There was a written letter on it then I looked over towards Val's desk before going ahead to check the letter, the whispering voices of my employees filled my ear. Though whispering, I could tell what they were gossiping about.
"Are you sure it's Sir Prince?"
"Yes, I saw him and Val at the gym last week".
"You must be dreaming, there's no way".
The pregnant one by name Kamsy, who was Val's best friend, cuts in.
Suddenly they noticed Noona as she walked into the office.
I rolled my eyes and put the letter into my suit pocket , I told her not to come.
"Oh my gosh aren't you Noona Philips' 'Kamsy snapped, star strucked..
"I guess I am,"Noona chuckled, as they surrounded her.
"I am a huge fan"Jennifer screamed.
"Can I take a picture? Kate asked curiously.
"Easy girls I will take a pic with y'all, first let me get to my man".
All these while , I stole a stole at val, she never cared to look up at me, she didn't even care about Noona and that attitude was driving me crazy.
Wow, I guess I'm the one being pathetic, if she wishes to move on, fine! I said to myself and walked towards my office.
Noona was done replying to their questions, she walked into my office.
"Your employees are really... like where you pick them from? The garbage dumps?"
"I need to rest okay, I don't have that time for that discussion now".
"Why are you mad?
She leaned over for a kiss.
The door opened, she didn't stop, I pushed her a bit , my secretary came in and gave her a dirty look.
"Sir you asked for this".
"Yeah,"I replied and collected the files
She kept staring at Noona as I went through them, she doesn't seem to like her like others.
"You can go now".
She bowed and left.
"So where are we?"
"Noona, can you stop whatever you are trying to do in this office".
"So.. take off that suit and feel comfortable".
She pulled my suit off and came to sit in front of my table.
"Remember, the night at camp, when you confessed to me, after being friends for how many years that night will always be funny, virgin Frog, am I really your first love, eh,...?"
"Noona can you stop..”
I remembered the incident of that night, it shouldn't be funny but as an adult I find it funny.
I burst out laughing, Noona joined.
"Now you get it"Noona laughed out loud, just then a knock came on the door again.
Laughing, I asked the assistant to come in, Noona suddenly held my face up and kissed me.
I was shocked on how she suddenly decided to do that but even more shocked when I realized the person I asked to come in isn't the assistant but Val!
What's she doing here?
"Val..?"
I gasped.
"Sir, your assistant said you called me".
She said without looking up to meet my eyes.
"I... didn't, she must be mistaken"I replied, and cursed what a stupid mistake. What am I supposed to do now!
"Ok thanks sir".
She replied and headed out of the door.
"So baby…".
Noona caressed my hand.
"Noona for the last time stop it, okay. Stop pretending that we are back together, and give up, we loved each other, yes but don't compare it to what i have for Val".
I stated.
Her eyes grew bigger and darker.
"Val, who the heck is Val?"
I said nothing, then she remembered me mentioning Val's name when she got in the office.
"No way… just no way, you are turning me down to stay with that thing".
She got up with a finger indicating that I should say any more.
"She is an average Prince! I am not losing to her, I am not".
She snapped out loud.
"You are not a competition to her, I am so intrigued by her, I will do anything, anything no matter what".
I smiled at her.
She stared into my eyes and stiffened, I could tell what scared her, the sincerity in them, she could tell I was being sincere.
