My Ex Next Door-103 Chapter 103: Ken's sweet side

Ken watches Novie as she pressed the ground floor button nervously.

"What is happening?" he asked while looking around. Its time for a noon break so the elevator was full of employee staring at him.

"Danny went to Saina and I need to make sure those two get to talk" Ken bite his lips to hold his laugh when Novie started nibbling her lower lips.

"Why did you bring me with you?" Ken asked which made Novie turned her back to face him.

"Because I won't leave you alone with that woman" Novie replied.

Slowly, Novie's small eyes widened as she ran her eyes from Ken's face all the way to his stomach.

"Where's your shirt?" she asked in disbelief.

"You dragged me out of the office so quickly that I didn't have time to get my shirt on" he replied.

Novie looked around and saw the employee staring at Ken, she crinkled her nose and pulled his body to her side.

When the elevator door opened on the fifth floor, Novie dragged Ken's hand without informing him and took the fire exit.

"Why are we not taking the elevator?" Ken asked while following her.

She stopped when they reached the second floor, she bent her body and rested both hands on her knee while panting like a dog.

When she lifted her face to look at Ken, the man didn't even sweat while she almost die of running.

"You" she breathed and continue, "How are you not tired?" she straightened and clenches her chest while catching her breath.

"I always exercise Novie. I think you should too" Ken smirked and squatted on the floor in front of her.

"Here, I will carry you" seeing his sweet gesture. Novie hesitated, she doesn't know how much is her weight now but she knows one thing for sure, that the last six months she stays with Bea, the old woman was giving her a feast every day.

"Climb in Novie. Don't worry, I won't judge your weight" Novie poker her face upon hearing it.

She wrapped both arms around Ken's neck while the man supported her legs using his thick arms.

When Ken got up, Novie felt her adrenaline kicked in, and with that, she hugs his body tightly, afraid that she might fall down.

"Ready?" Ken asked. Novie nodded as a response and a loud scream let out from her throat when Ken started running. Every time he skips two steps of the stairs, Novie could feel her spirit leaving her body.

When they finally reached the parking space, her face was white as a sheet of paper while her whole body crippled.

"Are you all right?" Ken lowered his body to let her get down but Novie didn't let his body go.

"I am feeling dizzy" she spoke in a faint voice.

"Should I bring you to the hospital?" Ken asked in concern.

Hearing the word 'hospital', her energy came back and jumped out from his back and ran towards the direction where she parks her car.

When she saw Danny and Saina's figure standing next to her car, Novie stopped and immediately hide. When Ken passed by her, she seized his hand and pulled his body to hide behind the car and tilted her head to look at Danny's reaction.

The good thing about the close parking space was you can hear even the faint sound of the mice, she was able to overhear the conversation between Danny and Saina.

"What are-" Novie covered Ken's lips to stop him from talking.

She 'hushed' him and took her phone out. She adjusted the camera and took a photo where Danny and Saina were hugging each other and immediately send it to Daniella.

When the woman replied back, Novie smiled and write her a long message while Ken sat next to her leaning his back at the car.

"What are you two doing here?" they were both startled when Danny suddenly spoke, Novie looked up and saw Danny and behind him was Saina, they were both had their eyes shining but Novie noticed their hands.

Each of their fingers intertwined to each other as if they have been glued.

"Is there a problem? Isn't this my building?" Ken asked as he got up, he extended his hand to help Novie get up and put one arm over her shoulder.

"I was only asking" Danny replied with a flat expression. When he shifted his eyes back to Saina, both Ken and Novie saw how his face lightened up.

"Should we go somewhere else?" Danny asked Saina, the woman smiled and nodded.

"Danny, what about the woman in – Ugh!" Ken grunted after Novie elbowed his stomach. He looked at her in disbelief but the woman glared at him and whispered him to shut up.

Ken sealed his lips and watched the couple walked to Danny's car. When they left the parking space, he saw a familiar figure standing by the entrance.

It was Donna, she had her eyes following Danny's car with a faint smile on her face.

In the other side, Novie turned to Ken to find him looking at a woman, she narrowed her eyes to have a clear view and find out that it was Donna.

"I was in the same position as her a few years ago. I always stand in a distance while watching Daniella and Evan together. I know her feeling and I think it's unfair." Ken suddenly spoke which made her turned her sight back to Ken.

"It's unfair, but at the same, we can't force ourselves to stop loving or beg for that person to love us" Ken continued and holds her hand.

"I am one of those lucky people who get to be with someone they love" then he plastered a light smile which made her breathing to stop.

"I am so surprised to see your sweet side" Novie teases him.

Ken wraps an arm around her shoulder and walks to the fire exit.

"Sweet? does it makes you want to marry me?" Ken asked as he opens the door of the fire exit.

"Shut up" she replied and rolled her eyes.

"I am not kidding, we can go and get married now" Ken squatted and ask her to climb in which she didn't refuse.

"Pft, how can we get married, you're shirtless" she giggled.

Ken clicked his tongue and replied, "Don't you want it? You'll have less clothes to remove on our honeymoon"
