Via blushed as her eyes widened. "What are you saying?" "What?" Jessica giggled. "Mr. Nakamura's appearance is to die for! Everyone wants to be noticed by him since he is also very single!" "I don't know what you're talking about." Via shook her head as she laughed at her workmate’s teasing. "I was just doing my job." "Oh, come on, Via," Jessica said, nudging her playfully. "I saw the way you came out of his office. Your cheeks were pink, and you had that little sparkle in your eye." "You're imagining things," Via insisted, though she couldn't help the smile that tugged at her lips. "Sure, sure," Jessica said, rolling her eyes. "But just so you know, you're not alone. Every woman in this office has a crush on him, even some of the married ones. He’s like a real-life prince charming with those suits and t

May I enter the office now?" Via smiled when Cathy opened the door for her.Via stepped into the office and was immediately struck by its imposing atmosphere.

“Dad…” Via’s lips trembled as she called for the familiar man before her. He was still the same. She would always find him seated in his working area whenever she went to his office. Her father's head snapped up at the sound of her voice, and there was a stunned silence for a moment. Then, in a move that took her completely by surprise, he stood up and hurried over to her, enveloping her in a tight hug. Via froze, her body stiff with shock. She couldn't remember the last time her father had hugged her like this, with such raw emotion. "I'm sorry, my child," her father whispered, his voice thick with regret. The tears threatening to spill finally broke free, streaming down her cheeks. She had never expected to hear those words from him, words she had longed for all these years.

Via stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her blouse and smoothing down her hair. Today was the day of her first job interview since returning to the Philippines, and she couldn't help but feel a mixture of nerves and excitement fluttering in her stomach.Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, Via glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost time to leave, but before she could head out, there was one more thing she needed to do."Jaydee, Kaydee, come here please!" Via called out, her voice echoing through the house.Within moments, her twins came running into the room, their faces bright with excitement.

As the morning sun painted the sky in hues of pink and gold, Via bustled around the kitchen, humming a tune as she packed a picnic basket with sandwiches, fruit, and homemade cookies. The smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, mingling with the sweet scent of the cookies baking in the oven."Mommy, are we going on an adventure today?" Jaydee asked, her eyes shining with excitement as she skipped into the kitchen, her favorite stuffed elephant tucked under her arm."Yes, sweetheart, we are," Via replied with a smile, her heart warming at the sight of her daughter's enthusiasm. "We're going to the zoo!""The zoo?" Kaydee echoed, bounding into the kitchen while still rubbing his eyes. His sister was too excited after she smellednthe delicious aroma of the cookies and she made sure that he would also be wide awake to be with her.
