In a clothing shop, Diana entered seriously. She was wearing a classy black dress up to her lap. This is her favorite clothing shop because all the popular brands are here. "Good afternoon, Miss Diana!" the staff greeted her. Apart from the fact that the shop is her favorite, all the staff also know her. One of the founders of the shop is also one of her friends. "Good morning, is the dress I said I wanted is already here?" Diana asked the sales lady who would take care of her. "Yes ma'am. This way, please.” The sales lady walked ahead of Diana to go to the lounge area where the clothes she was ordering were ready. As she walked to follow the sales lady, she was stopped by what she saw. She smirked when she realized who the person she saw in the shop was. She straightened up and went to the person she saw. "Lucille?" she mentioned to the woman sitting on the sofa. Lucille looked at her with a frown, Lucille was still remembering who the woman was in front of her now. She has be
Both Diana and Lucille were surprised to see Byron in front of them. They both didn't know what to say, they also both turned to the side at Byron who was holding his arm. It was Amanda, also surprised to see Lucille and Diana together and it looked like they were talking seriously."Byron, what are you doing here…I mean, what are you two doing here?" Diana stuttered, trying to smile."Am I not allowed to go to my friend's shop? And I am also an investor in this shop, Diana.” Byron answered Diana seriously.Diana looked away as if embarrassed by Byron's words. While Lucille couldn't take her eyes off Amanda's hand holding Byron's arm."Lucille..." Lucille immediately turned to Byron when Byron mentioned her name.“Hi, hmmm. Diana and I just talked about something, just catching up," Lucille said with a smile.Diana blinked, Lucille wanted to say a different catch-up. They were just arguing about who among them should Byron go to when Amanda disappeared from Byron's life. "Yeah, we jus
“Amanda…”Byron was about to touch Amanda but Amanda immediately avoided it. She wanted to understand herself but she couldn't. With just one kiss from Byron that night, and Byron's help for her, she immediately fell in love with Byron."Amanda, how many times do I have to tell you and show you that I want our relationship to work? When are you going to trust me and believe that I like you," Byron said.Amanda took a deep breath and looked at Byron. "Let's go home now, maybe we can continue this tomorrow. I'll take care of it, you still have to go to work." Amanda walked first after she said that to Byron.Byron, on the other hand, has not moved from his position yet, he does not understand Amanda. Earlier while talking to Diana and Lucille, Amanda was quiet, then the conversation between the two of them was that she was angry and Byron knew that she was hurting, and now Amanda became calm. Byron will admit that he doesn't understand Amanda's different behavior towards him but even so
When the night came, Byron and their parents went home except for Paul. Byron wonders why Amanda is still silent, he wonders if Amanda is still mad at him because Amanda ignores him. But the truth is that Amanda is thinking about what Kenjo told her earlier about Byron."Hey, is there something wrong? Are you still mad at me?" Byron asked when he couldn't stand Amanda's silence anymore.They were both in the room, Amanda was just sitting on the sofa in their room while reading a book about business. She is really serious about her business plan. She ignored Byron earlier when he entered the room, much to Byron's surprise.Amanda stopped reading, turned to Byron with a serious face. "Nothing, I'm just reading this book I bought a while ago to increase my business knowledge," answered Amanda.Amanda quickly looked away from Byron and returned her attention to the book. Byron sighed, not satisfied with Amanda's answer. He thinks that Amanda still has deep thoughts, even though he knows t
Amanda and Byron quietly returned to their room after dinner. Kenjo never came back when he walked out after being embarrassed in front of the family. He left the house and went to the club he always went to."You're alone again," said the newly arrived girl while holding Kenjo's arm.Kenjo simply turned to the woman while drinking wine, his brow furrowed. Many women approached him and once he had a one night stand but the woman who approached him today could not remember if he had been in bed with her."Who are you, little miss?" Kenjo asked the woman seriously.The girl smiled when she heard Kenjo's voice. She always went back to the club the day she first saw Kenjo with many girls. One day, Kenjo was alone but she didn't have the courage to approach Kenjo, only tonight when she saw that Kenjo looked like he was in trouble."I am asking you? Who are you and if you don't answer me, leave. I don't have time to play games right now." Kenjo added seriously.The woman felt fear, in her m
Byron was unsuccessful in wanting to stay home with Amanda. Amanda forced Byron to go to work because she was wondering what else would happen between the two of them. Besides the fact that they wouldn't do anything if they both stayed at home, Amanda also had a plan today. She will look for a supplier while Byron is busy.Kenjo still hasn't come home, he's still staying at the hotel where he took Rianna last night and he has no intention of going home. Inside the room, Kenjo had rented, he was staring at the ceiling. He turned slightly to his right side, sighing when he saw that Rianna hadn't left his side. Rianna was still hugging him. As he watched Rianna, he thought of something. Rianna seems nice and Kenjo immediately takes Rianna, it is obvious to Rianna that she really likes Kenjo; from the night she talked to Kenjo until something happened between them.Kenjo sat up on the bed when Rianna moved, Rianna pulled back slightly when she felt a hand on her waist. She turned to Kenjo
A week passed, and Amanda's first week in her business journey started. Because she likes to cook, she first opened a bake shop near where there are many students and employees. Marla's advice to her is to find a place that has a lot of target markets and that's what Amanda followed. She has also found suppliers for the business, she didn't have a hard time because Byron still helped her even though Amanda didn't want to.“How is that, Amanda? We are the only two employees in the shop. When will you open for staff hiring?” asked Marla.Amanda had already thought of that, what she thought was to hire at least three of Byron's family helpers because the family has many helpers and Amanda plans to be the only one to pay the three helpers if they agree to be staff at the bake shop."I've found someone, I'll just talk to them. By the way, I'm going to build a nursery area in the shop so you can bring Mia here," Amanda said with a smile.She also thought that Marla would be especially busy
Byron's meeting ended with a CEO of a large company who could also be an investor. Now he is going back to his office where the secretaries' applications are waiting. The position as Byron's secretary opened just last Sunday, which is why many people applied."Mary, give me all the details. I'll just call who I want. I won't take long to interview them all," Byron said to Mary."Yes, Sir!" Mary replied.Mary immediately did what Byron said and also told the applicants—there were a few who regretted and were nervous that they would have been chosen.As Byron read the details of the applicants, he rejected many. He didn't like almost all of them, even after the other applicants had graduated, he still couldn't find the right one. His first secretary was good, so when Amanda became the secretary, Amanda immediately learned how to be Byron's good secretary even though she didn't graduate. What Byron looks for in applicants is that hard work can be seen in the resume, he had no care what t
When Amanda and Paul arrive at the place where Byron is, in a private office of Byron's lawyer. Byron immediately stood up when he saw Amanda. He glared at Paul because he didn't follow through on what they talked about."What is she doing here? Didn't I tell you not to tell him and especially not to bring him here?" Byron whispered to his brother Paul.But Amanda heard that so instead of Paul answering Byron, Amanda spoke. "I forced him to come to see you, Byron," Amanda said sadly.Byron looked at her full of concern for Amanda, he didn't want Amanda to know what was happening to him. "You are not allowed to be here, go home now—""No, I want to be with you, especially now that I know you need me." Amanda said seriously.Byron turned for a moment to his colleagues inside the private office and said goodbye to go out first to talk to his wife, Amanda. Byron walked out of the office holding Amanda's hand."Amanda, you need to go home. I'll have the driver take you—”"Why don't you wan
Amanda immediately stood up because of what Marla said, her knees seemed to be weak and her tears were slowly falling. "Mariz? Really? Our sister?” she said, crying.Marla nodded and went to hug Amanda. "Yes, Amanda. Our sister Mariz called…” Marla said softly.Amanda faced Marla and grabbed both shoulders. "Where is she? What did he say? Can we call her again? When will he come back to us?” Amanda asked continuously.Marla's face suddenly became sad when Amanda asked them. "She didn't say anything about those, Amanda. She just called me and said she is Mariz, after that, she hung up the call,” explained Marla.Amanda was surprised by what Marla said, she wondered why Mariz would do that. “Why would he do that? Does he not want us anymore? Does he not want to see us and be with us anymore?" Amanda asked tearfully. He couldn't understand why Mariz called but he didn't seem to have any intention of showing them."I don't know either, Amanda. When I called the number she used, I couldn't
Amanda came home early that day, Byron wasn't there yet so she was surprised. Byron also texted him that he had to go through something so he sent Amanda home first. "Lina, hasn't Byron come home yet?" Amanda asked the assistant who passed by. "Not yet, Ma'am." She bowed to say goodbye after answering Amanda's question. Amanda took her phone and called Byron several times but she didn't get an answer, she got worried. The two of them had a good conversation with Byron before he went to the cafe. "That's a long time, go home." Amanda immediately turned to the speaker, it was Paul. Amanda bowed for a moment, embarrassed that Paul caught her waiting outside the house. "He didn't call, I was just worried. I know that his work is done, because I also called his secretary but he didn't answer my call either," explained Amanda. Paul didn't show any emotion to Amanda, he knew where Byron was. "It's going home too, just rest..." Paul answered seriously and turned his back on Amanda witho
On a normal day, Amanda's shop became more and more popular. Besides the delicious products they sell, the surroundings of the shop are also beautiful. Thanks to Lucille because she made all her efforts, even though she didn't like Amanda. She did it for Byron anyway because she thought Byron would be happy with her.Suitable for students who like beautiful backgrounds, the surroundings are also quiet sometimes when their only customers are employees of various companies that are close to the cafe.***Inside Byron's office, he was quietly reading papers and signing until his father entered. He immediately stood up and greeted his father. "Dad, what brings you here?" Byron asked as his father sat down again."How's everything in you, son?" asked his father.Byron was surprised by his father's sudden question, he didn't expect his father to come to the office to ask that first. "Everything is under control, Dad. Did something happen?" Byron asked."Nothing. I just noticed in the past f
When Mariz left the shop, she immediately went straight to her car and couldn't stop crying because she had been holding back for a while. She admits that she really wanted to get away from her difficult life and get away from her two sisters because she thought they would never get rich if they depended on other people. She also admits that she liked her new life in America, with many friends, dating, and being able to buy everything she wanted but when she returned to the Philippines, she couldn't deny that she also wanted to see her two sisters, Amanda and Marla."Bullshit! I shouldn't have felt anything for them, I cut them out of my life a long time ago!” Mariz shouted angrily inside her car. "Should I change my voice too so I won't really be recognized?" she asked herself while tugging at her hair because she felt annoyed by what happened.While inside the shop, Amanda still couldn't get the woman in front of her out of her mind. She also noticed that except for the woman's voic
Within a day, Amanda's problem was solved immediately. Byron was called by his subordinates and found out that the three customers had talked about the video. They followed suit and deleted the videos and promised not to go on all social media.Amanda became complacent somehow. "Are you okay?" asked Marla.Amanda nodded and smiled at her. "I am better now, thanks to Byron," Amanda replied to Marla.Marla says goodbye to go back to work, and Amanda is left at the counter bar. Attending to customers placing orders. "Thank you, come again, Ma'am." Amanda said with a smile to a female customer.Outside the shop, a woman was just looking at Amanda and Marla. It was Mariz, their younger sister. Mariz came back just a week ago from America. She hears about Amanda and Marla, she learns that Amanda has built a business with Marla.As she looked at the shop, Marla happily greeting customers and Amanda smiling at people, Mariz thought that she was too far away from her siblings."Miss, won't you
"You alright?" Marla asked as she approached Amanda after Diana exited.Amanda looked around to see if the people inside the shop were still looking at her, a few were looking and the others had gone back to what they were doing as if there was no scene inside the shop.Amanda apologized to the crowd and then returned to her office, she took a deep breath and calmed herself down. This is her first time showing up in front of someone who can only handle her, this is also the first time she physically hurt someone because of the anger she felt. She didn't expect to be able to do such a thing.“Drink water.” Marla handed the glass of water to Amanda.Amanda took the glass without looking at Marla, after she drank the water there she turned to Amanda. "What I did was embarrassing for the customers, I wish I had stopped myself from slapping Diana," said Amanda sadly.Marla was in awe because Amanda's kindness came back to this matter. For Marla, Amanda should learn to fight against people
The next day, Rianna went to the office even though her mother saw her in the living room, she ignored her mother. Her mother just looked at her, Rianna forgot what her mother said last night."What happened?" Rianna's mother stopped reading the newspaper when her husband suddenly asked a question."What do you mean?" asked Rianna's mother."Relyan, you and your daughter. Did something happen and you didn't greet her? She just left," her husband said.Relyan looked away, she remembered what Rianna said last night not to tell Rianna's father what they talked about."We just talked last night and didn't go well, that's why your daughter is like that," Relyan replied.Her husband frowned, confused. "You let her? I know our daughter, if she or we are at fault, she will be the first to come to us to apologize. She did not do that today, she just went out. I didn't believe that it was just a little mishap," he said at length. "Allan, your daughter and I are in a good relationship. I will t
When Rianna got home to their house, she quickly entered her room. Again, she did let Kenjo send her to her house. And when her mother saw her, she followed Rianna to her room. Rianna's mother knocked twice and when Rianna didn't open the door, she entered on her own.She looked around Rianna's room, she saw that Rianna put the clothes she was wearing in her trash can. Rianna's mother picked up the clothes, examined them, and wondered why she was throwing away the clothes she wore today."Mom? What are you doing here?" Rianna asked when she got out of the bathroom.Immediately her mother turned to her, Rianna looked at the dress her mother was holding. "What is this? Why are you throwing this?” asked his mother.Rianna quickly grabbed her clothes from her mother's hand, she looked away. "This is nothing, Mom. I threw it away because it got dirty," she lied.Her mother frowned, she was surprised by what Rianna said because Rianna doesn't like to throw clothes. In fact, Rianna appreciat
