"Mother!" she shouted and Emma ran towards the room."What? What happened?""I'm hired!" Emma took a deep breath as she heard that. She thought something bad had happened but then it was good news."You scared me. Congratulations!"They both shared a smile. Marianne gets ready to head to the company. She dressed up and looked in the mirror.She kissed Zoey for the last time before she left the house.As she arrived at the company, she wore a broad smile to greet everyone. As soon as she arrived at the office, she greeted Miguel with a smile."Good morning, Sir."Miguel smiled back. "That's your office.," he said as he pointed to the next office from his. Marianne looked at the office and nodded her head.Miguel instructed her everything that she had to do and all she did was just to nod her head. Miguel stood, "Follow me," he said and Marianne stood and followed him."Attention everyone," he said and all the employees looked at him."This is Marianne Carter, my new secretary. I hope y
Miguel received a message from Nate. He frowned while reading the content."A lunch meeting?" he uttered to himself.He typed 'okay' and sent it to Nate. As he was on his way to his office he saw Marianne, walking towards the entrance.He pauses as he waits for her. When he saw she was near the elevator, that was the moment he headed inside the elevator and pressed a floor number."Wait," Marianne said as she put her arms in the middle, causing the door to open again.Her eyes widened when she saw Miguel. She bowed her head before she headed inside the elevator.Marianne worked on her tasks as she was facing the computer until lunch. She heard a knock on the door. "Marianne? I mean... Ms. Carter?""Yes?""I'm having a lunch meeting right now. Would you like to join me there?"Marianne nodded her head. "Yes, Sir. I would love to.""Okay. Shall we?" she nodded her head and they both head out of the company.Marianne went inside his car, and she could feel the awkwardness between them. S
The next morning, Marianne was already dressed up. She didn't get a good sleep, thinking about Felix.She headed out of the room and saw her mother looking at her."How's your sleep?" she asked her, worriedly."It's fine, mother. I'm going now. Please take care of Zoey for me." Emma nodded her head and smiled at her.As Marianne was inside a taxi, she was preoccupied."Excuse me, Mam, we're here," the driver stated and that was the time when Marianne went back to her senses."Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't notice it. I'm sorry," she said and paid for her fair and headed out of the taxi.She was walking to her office when she bumped into Jill and Jace. She smiled at them. "Good morning." "Ms. Carter, are you okay?" Jill asked her. "Yes, why do you ask?" "You look tired. Didn't you have enough sleep?" she asked. "Ah, yes. I didn't rest well last night, but I'm fine. Thanks for your concern." "You need to rest well, Ms. Carter. We all need a good rest," she said to her and Marianne nodded
Marianne focused on her task, but then she couldn't take Felix out of her mind."What am I doing? Why do I think of him?" she asked herself and then shook her head.As the door opened, Miguel was there. He smiled at her. "Are you doing well? You look bothered," he said, but Marianne managed to smile in front of him."I'm fine, Sir. Don't worry about me.""Are you sure? You can take a leave if you're not feeling well," he said."I'm really fine.""Okay, if you say so."Miguel then headed out of her office and then went to his.Marianne watched him leave and took a deep breath. "I wanted to be honest with my feelings, but... How can I? I'm afraid to get hurt again."Later that day, Marianne walked down the streets. She wanted to clear up her mind, but then as she was about to continue walking, her eyes saw Felix.He was standing before her, his eyes looking at her. He then avoided his gaze and started to walk away.As Felix passed by her, she could feel the pain. She was hurt once again
Miguel and Marianne were inside the car as they were on their way to the airport where she wanted to talk with Felix before he could leave the country. While on the drive, she felt so nervous and thought what if they might fail to see him? What should she do? Miguel glanced at her, "Hey, you will be fine. I hope we can still see him." Marianne took her phone and dialed his number, but she couldn't reach him. She dialed and sent messages to him, but Felix never responded. She frowned while looking at her phone. "He didn't want to see me, right?" she asked herself and then hung up the call. They were in the middle of the road as they were caught in a long traffic. Marianne looked around, "Marianne, I think we can't be on time," Miguel said to her, but then she took a deep breath and got out of the car. "I'll run. Thank you, Sir. Thank you, Miguel," she said and then started to run on the sidewalk. Miguel smiled as he could see how determined Marianne was to see Felix. "That's
After Felix's departure, Marianne regretted it so much. She was tearing up and sobbing inside her room as she couldn't forgive herself for doing nothing.A knock on the door caught her attention and it was her mother. Emma walked towards her and smiled. "What are you doing? Are you locking yourself up again? Why don't we try to have a vacation together with Ethel and Zoey?"She looked at her, but still, tears welled up in her eyes. "Mom, I regretted it a lot. I should have followed my heart from the very beginning. I should have-""Don't blame yourself. He might be back and if that happens, so, you can talk to him. Tell him about Zoey," she nodded her head and Emma wiped off her tears.In the following days, Marianne was still the same. She had been locking herself inside the room and still wearing a long face. She was so affected by Felix's departure.On the other hand, Ethel got a message from Emma."I'm coming, mother," she texted back.She roamed her eyes around to look for Marcus
Crystal pushed him away. "I'll be surprise. Then, I'll be waiting then," she uttered and she started walking away from him.Nate watched her as she left the place. He then shook his head and walked away.As he arrived at the place where his brother had been buried, he then bowed his head as he lend a bouquet of flowers."Brother, I'm here. Do you know who I just saw?" he sighed. "Crystal, the woman you once loved."Tears started to streamed down his eyes while stroking the tombstone of his brother."She didn't remember me for now, but I will make sure she remembers by the time I'm ready to tell them the truth."Nate kneeled as he felt weakened. He continued sobbing while telling him about his plan of revenge to the family that ruin his life and the reason of his death.Flashback...Crystal and Nate's brother had been dating for months. They had been so happy together and living a normal life.Crystal looked at him with a smile and she teared up at the same time. "Why? What happened? W
Crystal had been tailing Nate for weeks. She had been looking for information about him."What did you find about him?" she asked over the phone as she was talking to a man."I haven't found anything yet, Mam, but then I am still looking into it.""Just make sure to find something and tell me immediately.""I will.""Okay."On the other hand, Nate had been so careful in his tracks. He noticed that someone had been following him.He was inside a coffee shop with a woman when he saw a man who had been keeping an eye on him. He frowned as he sipped his coffee."So, what do we do now?" the woman asked as she was reaching out to his hands. Nate gladly let the woman, touch him as his eyes roamed around the place.The woman noticed that he had been looking outside the shop. "Mr. Brown, are you okay? You look bothered. What's wrong?" she asked and Nate went back to his senses.He then managed a smile and sipped his coffee. The woman smiled at him and reached for his hands. "Should we rent a r
