Chapter: A Surprise VisitorHis POVMy ordered food arrived in short while. I loved this Chinese restuarant Chao Min in this area because not only of their great flavorful food but also they are very prompt to deliver. Steam and aroma was coming off from the food. I could see Des was excited to pounce on it as she rushed to the kitchen to prepare our utensils."Ohh my! Why did you order so much just for the two of us?! " Her eyes were a mirror of amazement."I thought you might want to eat a dragon after seeing those two!" I chuckled."Maybe. But this isn't a meal. This is a feast!" she went back to the kitchen to get glasses, " What drink do you like Provi?" I love hearing my name from her sweet mouth."A sparkling soda will do, thanks."She came back with two cans, two glasses and a pitcher of water. How she did that, I cannot explain but she handled them all well with her two hands....And a tray! "Mmmmm..Smells so good! Can we pray now?" She looked at me grinning like a kid brought to a themed park."Sur

Chapter: Chapter 11 - From Now and Onwards"I'm sorry Des. I didn't even hear them coming." "It's ok, I was choosing a good channel to watch and wasn't able to to adjust the volume as well." I said grinning. I was no longer affected also as before by those two. "They must've thought I came here alone to steal some valuables!" I chuckled at how fast they accussed me. "I must have the password changed for all the locks." "That must have unnerved them because I know the right key combinations for the locks." "Did you get a drink? " He asked with concern. "Yeah, but I didn't get to finish the can and it's not cold now." "Don't worry, I'll order food for delivery. What do you feel like having now?" "Hmmm, Chinese noodles and seafood?" "Ok, I know just the perfect resto for that," he said while winking at me then dialing a number. "See, very fast right?" He looked at me as if seeking my approval. "Your every wish is my command,Darling." "Indeed! You must order from them frequently to know what is in every platter!"

Chapter: Chapter 10 - Water Can't Blend with OilHer POV Provi walked up ahead of me and held my hand as we climb the stairs. Upon reaching the landing, we leaned on the ledge of the balcony and looked out at the sea. It was too bright because the sun had long time risen. He grabbed his phone from his pocket and showed me an App. "Look, it is low tide already. If we go to the water now, it will be far off shore.""And the sun will scorch our skin!" I completely agreed it wasn't a good time to go near the beach. "Let's go inside and get some drink. My throat feels parched already," He keyed in some numbers on the lock and the door swung open. He led me inside to a minibar. "So, what do you feel like having?""Anything, without alcohol!""Why not?" There was that teasing look in his face again. "I wonder how you are when you are drunk!" He laughed. "Wonder no more. It's nothing exciting. I only fall asleep." I laughed as well. Then his phone started ringing. "I'm sorry Dear, I have to take this call.""No problem!" I said smil

Chapter: Chapter 9 - The Real Owner"Are you awake, dear?" "Do you have work today?""Let's go to the beach!" One message after another came in as I turned on my phone. Before I replied Provi, I remembered to block the number that Gen used last night to contact me."I just woke up :) " I sent Provi a response."Good morning dear :-* " He was quick to respond and added a kiss smiley at the end of his message."Where does that kiss land?" I teased him."Anywhere you want!" "Ok, anywhere then except my lips! Haha.. I haven't gotten up yet to even brush my teeth!" "Well that would be interesting to kiss you anywhere other than your lips!" He responded. Wwwait whattt? I was suppose to tease him but it seems it's the way around now.If I could blush I would have. I drastically changed the topic."Today is a holiday so there's no work although I'd be doing remote online presence in case of emergency,"I informed him."So you can be anywhere as long as there is internet, right?""Yes! And... the beach sounds perfect!" "Ok

Chapter: Chapter 8 - My Ex Her POV After dinner, Provi got his driver to bring us home. He kissed my forhead again before letting me out of the car. Provi opened the window on his side and I waved at him and sent a flying kiss before walking towards my front door. I threw myself into the couch and massaged my temples. All the riedness of the day weighed heavily on my shouldes. I had tried my best to calm down after the encounter with my ex, his girlfriend, and his mother. How unfortunate that the man I was seeing now is actually a close relative of theirs. OR.... It may be a blessing ni disguise that I can actually make a revenge on those very mean people. Just as I was thinking of those people, my phone suddenly rang. I got the phone out of my bag thinking it must be Provi. However, I noticed it was an unregistered number. I don;t usually like talking to strangers and I don't like this kind of prank from my friends. I pressed the END CALL button. After placing the phone on the table top, it rang again.

Chapter: Chapter 7 - My Close RelativesHis POVOf all people to meet tonight, it had to be my spoiled nephew and his girlfriend."Uncle Provi, we didn't know you were in town already! Mom, will be happy to see you!""No need to inform her. If she needs anything she can call me as she always does." I gave a cold stare at him and his girl while guiding Des gently with my other arm to enter the door. Gen held unto my other hand and stopping me."Uncle, " He wanted to protest of some sort but I stopped him from talking further."I have a date tonight. I don't want to make her wait for long. Please, let's talk another time. I took his hand off my arm and went after Des into the private dining room. While taking my seat, I noticed Des to be uncomfortable and looking pitiful. "Are you alright?" I asked her."Yeah, just I feel like puking earlier.""We haven't done anything intimate, are you already pregnant?" I tried to look serious but my smirk that turned into a chuckle gave me away. "Stop kidding me Provi. Just I don't like

Chapter: Chapter 31 - Problem BrewingI was tapping my fingers on the table eagerly waiting for Clyde to make his appearance at the restaurant we agreed to meet at. I chose to have an exclusive booth where no one can see us and I can easily go in and out thru the backdoor. Of course, the restaurant belonged to my grandfather's chain of business and Clyde had already informed them of my passage. Knock...knock... "Get in." "Young master." He was starting to bow and the door was still open behind him. I hurriedly looked down with my cap over my face until I heard the door clicked. "Clyde, in public places like this, make sure nobody sees you bowing to me." I reprimanded him. "I am sorry young master." "Please take a seat." I invited him to a chair across from me. "Before you arrived at the toilet, I heard those two men speaking. The stout guy mentioned about a proposal. What new project do we have?" "Hmmm. The tie up with W*****n Office Co., what else could it be? " "Hahaha" I can't hold my laughter."Seriously?" I

Chapter: Chapter 30 - Trouble at the ToiletI met Mister So, head of housekeeping who brought me around the building. Mr. Harvey had mentioned before Mister So entered, that the housekeeping head is also a loyal servant of my grandfather. He also gathered the rest of his team and introduced me as a newly hired cleaner. "These are the cleaning supplies you will need. Are you sure you want to clean the men's toilet?" "Yes. Where do the managers go?" "Managers office are at every floor depending on which department they are. but the toilet for them are at the 5th floor." "Okay then. Thank you Mister So, I can take it from here. " I winked at him and waved him off. I took the housekeeping lift and went to the fifth floor. I was restocking the supplies at a cubicle when two men entered. One of them sounded familiar, I wonder where I have heard that voice. They were having a good laugh over something. Then there was silence as both men took a pee at the urinals and one could

Chapter: Chapter 29 - PruningThat was quite a slap! Before we all had time to react, the intercom rang. I rubbed my cheeks while she went to pick up the phone. The stout guy looked at me sharply as if about to say something but the receptionist was holding on to his hand. "Reception area, good day! ....Yes.....Yes..." "HR..." She whispered looking at the man and pointing to the phone. Then she looks at me. She puts the phone down and told us,"We are to go up to HR office." "Wait, I still have something to do..."the man wanted to object but the the lady was holding on to his hand. "This better not be trouble Trisha!" Trisha. That must be the name of the receptionist. "You too mister," She said to me as she turned in my direction going on ahead with the stout guy. "Don't worry honey. I think this is our chance to work in the same office and I can work on you," she whispered the last sentence but it was still too loud for me to hear. I w

Chapter: Chapter 28 First DayAll my bags are packed. I'm ready to go... I was whistling the tune while packing my bag to go to work. Everyone in the house was still asleep so I try to be as quiet as I can. I have to leave the house early to report for my work. Clyde had volunteered to pick me up but I chose to take public transportation instead. He would need to orient me as to the heirarchy in the company as well as introduce the people I would be working with.At six sharp, I was already in the Danovan Sky Tower, a very prominent structure at the heart of the city. There weren't much people yet and reception was still empty. I went to what seem like a lounge and got a cup of coffee from a nearby dispenser. This is good that the company offers free coffee to employees and visitors alike. Clyde sent a message to my phone asking if I was already in the building, I should message him.I ignored his message and finished drinking my coffee until I noticed there was someone in the reception area.

Chapter: Chapter 27 DecidedWith my height less than an inch from six feet and a muscular built and my wife at five feet three inches and pettite built, I was sure to crush into her if I were to fall over her. I tried to regain my balance in mid air and toppled over close to the table but my head still landing on Bridda's lap."The heck!" She screamed.She immediately stood up and my head hit the edge of the couch."Oucchh!" escaped from my lips. She looked at me with a raised eye brow."Oh sorry," I think I was one with most injury but I was the one apologizing."I think I've had enough for you tonight." She sighed as she packed up her laptop and marched to her room.Why do I get so clumsy with her today? It's a tiring day. Maybe I need rest and think of matters tomorrow.The next day, while everyone was eating the breakfast I prepared, I made the announcement,"Uhmm!" I cleared my throat. "I applied to Danovan Enterprise and I got the job."
