Scott tip toed into Shirley's office. It was a very difficult task for him to ensure that no one saw him sneaking into another's staff office.
"Mrs Santiago, have entered. Where should I search?" he asks over the phone."That nonsense...you're not searching well. It has to be in her office. The shoes have to be there" Mrs Santiago replied and Scott started searching Shirley's office.
Unknown to him, Shirley already arrived in the company and was already at the receptionist. She had on a smiling face as she said Hi to whoever comes her way.
"Did you hear me?" Mrs Santiago asked.
"Yes I did" he mouthed."Listen carefully, stop fussing around. If you look under her desk, there are set of drawers, check them" Lila ordered."This one is locked" he answered."Force it open...." She replied."Argh, I can't do it Mrs Santiago" he said."Uhm...I can feel my blood pressure riding and my nerves are shattered, Scott. Just open the drawer okay!"

Travis walked into the company relieved. He doesn't know where the relief he had came from. Where ever it came from, he was glad it came at the right time he needed it badly. "Travis are the Italians coming this evening?" Luke asked, coming his way."I believe so, Annie is busy with preparation in my house" he answered"good to hear. I'm glad you took her back" Luke said. "That's not important. What are we going to show the Italians when they arrive is the most important thing now" Travis retorts "You will show them what you've got. What else can we do? Nothing, Travis" Luke pacified."Any news about the shoe?" Travis raised his brows, hopefully."Not yet but I will find out. Prepare yourself for the worst" he tapped his shoulders."Do you think the designs got to Ran Yu ?" Travis asked. "It's possible" Luke answeredJust then, Shirley cat walked towards them."Gentle men, are we ready for our guests?" She asked with a smiling fac
Annie turned slightly and saw a glimpse of the grumpy CEO behind her. She wasn't sure if he was really staring at her or at something else."You must be thinking too much" a voice said in her heart.The man is so hard hearted and wouldn't stare at someone like her. At times, she had wondered if she would be able to do what she signed for. How the hell is it possible to get pregnant with his child within six months! She turned again and this time, their eyes made contact which she quickly broke by blinking. "Hello, sir?""This menu won't work. I want to add things but they are not allowed to. Please tell them to listen to me. It has no tea or coffee. How could that be?" She asked. "Alex will go get some" he replied."Hmm...I was in the bathroom just now, there are no guest towels. Maybe we should get them some slippers too?" She suggested. "Okay, stay calm. I will get the slippers" he replied. He faced the guys working on the preparation of
"listen carefully, she will probably be here for 30 minutes, then another 30 minutes to drive back. Take your time, I know you can do it" Mrs Santiago assured Scott."I don't like this, Mrs Santiago. I don't think I can do it" Scott replied over the phone."You will manage my dear. Has she left yet?" She asked."She is on her way" he replied on seeing Shirley heading towards the elevator."Let her come" Lila grinned and dropped the call."Ohh hmmm" Scott quickly picked a new design cloth and pretended to be doing something with it."Scott" Shirley called. She walked up to him"What are you doing? Aren't you suppose to be in the computer department?" She asked."You should know work never stops. I'm trying to keep up to date with the new stuffs, dear. Otherwise people will walk all over me" he replied.Shirley laughed. "Always a joker. I take it you don't have a lot of work to do for today or you had been on a shoot on a beach un
"what's happening?" He raised his brows suspiciously at how close they stood. He wondered what was with the look with Travis. Annie hastily moved away. "Nothing. We were....just cooking and we are already done. The Italians should be here any moment from now" she rushed words, nervously.Luke had caught Travis spoon feeding her. "Yeah..." Luke replied, maintaining an eye contact with Travis.Travis dropped the plate and tucked his hand in his pants pocket."I will go get ready" he replied and walked out of the kitchen.Luke faced Annie who looked away immediately."Are you okay?" He asked."Me??? I'm fine" she smiled and made to leave the kitchen but he appeared in her face."Are you sure? Did Travis hurt you? You look so uncomfortable" he said. Annie blew herself with her palm."I'm fine.... Can I?" She asked.Luke excused her and she walked out of the kitchen. That was a huge relief.She recalled all that happened before Luke c
TS International Group, a leading company in NY city had a business from many sectors; from hotel chains, construction industry, large department stores, entertainment firms to amusement parks. People who lived in NY City might not know their mayor, but they had surely heard of Travis Santiago, the leader of his big family businesses and one of the most sought-after business giants.Mr Santiago was not only successful and rich, but he was also an absolutely fascinating man who looked more gorgeous than most women. It sounds unreal, but one should see him to say this was true. In addition, he was so smart and intelligent that he could defeat his competitors without them noticing. People tagged him as a "playboy" because he appeared in many various magazines coupled up with his very appealing appealing appearance, his smile alone can melt the heart of any woman and that made people tag him as the "Ladies Man".News had it that Travis fav
"She needs to try extremely harder" Travis replied, his tone was neither harsh nor calm. In a swift, he turned off the phone's power button. Lila was bewildered at her son's behavior for some seconds. Her son isn't a gay or is he?"Travis?" She called, angrily."The truth is bitter Mom. She need to try extremely harder and besides, she's not my type of girl, she look like those hopeless Indian women. You know my taste, Mom" Travis winked and at that point, Mrs Lila's words were superfluous. Some seconds passed before she finally found her voice. "What's you type of girl then?" She asked, feeling a little hopeful that her son is not gay.Travis let out a smirk that covers a lot of emotions. If he wasn't Mrs Lila's son, she would have said her son looks like a deadly devil when he made that smirks."My type of girl......" Travis let out a playboy smile, at least he noticed his mother wasn't happy with his expression
The first touch of his lips was so slow and drugging, Annie reacted immediately. Then the bite of his teeth against against her lips made her felt as if butterflies were singing in her tummy. She couldn't help but held tightly unto the mysterious handsome man that suddenly appeared in her world.She swallowed down salivatingly. His kiss turned completely fierce as the last whom she guess was his date approached them."Travis!! " Bridget shouted, almost close to tears but Travis just couldn't stop kissing Annie, he ignored the presence of Bridget. When she couldn't take it anymore, she walked away angrily and in tears.The moment the Bridget was out of sight, Travis unlocked from the kiss and pushed Annie away like she were some piece of trash. He dipped his left hand into his pocket and brought out a handkerchief which he used in cleaning his bottom lips."Get lost!!" He glared coldly at Annie.
"Then he kissed her right there,in front of the whole restaurant. This is just unbelievable. I can't believe Travis has a girlfriend" Lila blurted out while pacing around the living room."Calm down darling, I dint think Travis knows the girl. It might just be a prank to get away from the date set with Bridget. That girl he kissed is a way too low for him. I know my son, he will never settle for less" Thomas replied. His focus still remain fixed on the magazine he had at hand.It's already all over the internet that his son kissed a poor waiter."What a bad way to start a new day?" He thought.Lila disagreed. She refused to believe it was a trick from Travis to get away from his date. "Oh can't you just forget about that crossword and use your brain here? He french kissed her"Thomas dropped the magazine. "So he french kissed her and then?" He asked."Travis kissed the waitress in public in front of every eyes there as if his life depended on it

Annie returned home that evening feeling so fulfilled. The fact the Travis pleaded with her made her felt so special. She's glad she is gaining his trust little by little but then she felt sad. "What if one day he finds out that she is just in his life for money?""Annie, you have a visitor" Selena interrupted her thoughts."Who?" Annie asked, snapping out of her thoughts as fast as possible.She fit her feet into her flip flop and rushed outside. Mr Thomas Santiago was the visitor."Good evening" Annie greeted, wondering why the man had visited her."Can we talk?" He asked."Oh yeah, do you want to come inside?" She asked."No, can we go else where?" He asked."Here is okay" Annie said and quickly spread a cloth on the chair. Her blue eyes glistened as she waited for what he has to say to her."Tell me, where were the shoes in the meantime?" He asked."I had them. I went to the office, then I went to the bathroom and then to his
Shirley stood in a corner, watching Annie discussing calmly with the receptionist. Emily appeared in her face, distracting her from watching the duo. "Mr Santiago is interagating all the employee about the stolen shoe" Emily uttered.Shirley took Emily's hand and pushed her away from her sight so she could continue watching the duo."What's that for?" Emily asked. She trailed Shirley's eyes and it landed on Annie."Ohhh" she mouthed."Don't you want to publish it in the papers? What do you think? Word for word" Shirley said."Not a word. We don't know anything, do we?" Emily asked. "Mmmm" Shirley hummed."I think Luke is really anxious" Emily added."Forget about him, have you seen Travis?" Shirley asked."He got angry and left. Maybe he would be back soon" Emily replied. "Is Travis in the office? What did you mean I can't go in? I'm here to see him" Annie yelled at the receptionist. She had first spoke to her calmly but she refu
In TS corporation, there was tension, each and every staffs were being careful not to make a mistake. Not even this time that their boss is looking very furious."Should we can the police, Travis?" Luke asked, bringing a new suggestion."The stolen goods have no value. Calling the police won't help" Travis replied. He was dressed in a simple and very casual outfit of black t-shirt on a black dark jean trouser with a black face cap. He had on a single diamond bracelet. A lot has been on his mind lately. He hasn't even been thinking straight."Listen, suppose Ran Yu stole the shoes. If they start producing the shoes, it will be the end of us!" Luke exclaimed."What are we going to do?" Travis ran his fingers into his hair."Wait a minute. Draco works in their production unit, let me find out if anything is going on today" Luke said, bringing out his phone in a swift to make a call.
"You should be ashamed of yourself. I took pity on you and this is the thanks that I get!. You stole the shoes!" Mrs Santiago yelled at Annie, who had on a teary face."Do you have any idea many strings I had to pull to get you in there? How I had to twist the truth? How could you do that""Ma'am, I did nothing wrong I swear" Annie said, trying to convince the angry woman."Shush!" Lila silenced her."I paid you what you asked for. Not even a cent less. The money I paid you is equivalent to an entire neighborhood income plus they pay you salary too. I buy you the latest shoes and cloths. Tell me, why did you steal the shoes?""I swear I didn't steal the shoes. I took the box and got into the car, the ln I drove from there to Mr Santiago's mansion to pick his tuxedo and went back to the office. I used the bathroom before going to give him the box" Annie explained, truthfully."Why did you steal it? Don't you have enough? How could you do th
