Faux Vows, True Desires

The photos were taken to prove to his boss that he was working as per contract, not slacking off.

Cecilia got back to the cashier's desk and whipped out her phone again to receive some more transfers.

In the end, she replied with a "thank you" emoji.

Owen, after sending Cecilia a mountain of transfers, waited for her reply on his phone, only to be met with a "thank you" emoji.

"You're so stingy, can't even bother to type me a few words?" He retorted.

"You must know I'm not in a good mood right now, Lucinda probably spilled the beans to you. Can't you even bother to give me a call to comfort me?" Owen was grumbling.

Getting bored with his phone, he decided to check Facebook for some new stuff online.

The moment he opened Facebook, he saw a post by Cecilia from a minute ago. It was a photo of a handsome guy, with the caption, "A handsome guy came into the shop today. He's a stunner from every angle."

In addition to the caption, Cecilia added a drooling emoji.

Owen looked at the photo and had to admit that the guy was indeed quite a looker, the type of guy women went crazy for.

So, Owen decided to give Cecilia a call.

Seeing Owen's incoming call, Cecilia picked up, delighted.

"Cecilia!" He said, emphasizing each syllable.

"Are you still mad?" Cecilia could hear the anger in his voice and giggled, "Want to send more transfers? I'm free now and my internet's fast, I can accept however many you send."
