The photoshoot started at late 9:00 AM. Serene has to borrow a much formal and decent clothes from Sydney. Her friend didn't allow her to go on with the uniform. Serene was holding the umbrella for Sydney. Sydney's yellow bikini is highlighting her flawless skin and sexy figure.The photoshoot was all set now, and Sydney was checking the photos taken earlier. The sun wasn't slowing down. The sky was so clear, that no clouds could block it. “It's so hot. I'm sweating.” Sydney sat on the folding chair and took her cold drinks. Serene just sat next behind her, putting down the umbrella. “I agree. How more outfits you'll try on?” “Five more. Can you get me some drinks better than this milk tea? Do they have coconut juice here? Or a fruit shake? This one taste so plain.” Sydney's best hobby was to complain and Serene was aware of that. “They have variety of drinks like that here. I'll be quick and order it later, once you shoot your second outfit, was that the white summer dress?” Ser
It was a blessing that the whether was good that night. The two was dropped by the chopper at 8:00 PM, and drove to the hotel after. Darrem usually travel with Brixel but he cannot travel with him today, because his parents had been hunting him. His parents was really serious about the arrange marriage between Brixel and Serene's sister. Darrem glanced at Serene who sit beside him.“Don't you talk with any of your family? Vanna never reached you out?” It seems like Serene has no idea about most of the Almirez’ whereabouts. Serene looked his way. She didn't expect that Darrem would open up this conversation. She was truly uncomfortable talking about that family she disowned and who disowned her as well. “I cut ties with them years ago. They doesn't know my contact that's why,” she answered. She wasn't curious about her father's family anyway. It was true that Vanna was good to her and is a good sister, but the day she left, she promised herself that she would never to involve herse
The meeting was scheduled at 9:00 AM in the Vista Building. It was located not so far from the hotel they are staying. Serene woke up early to make breakfast, yes she do home cook for the day. It was not that she don't prefer the food in the hotel but her stomach wants a more specific food with her own recipe. She's not into foods made in other's kitchen, unless it is cooked by Maricar. “You are awake. I did a quick grocery earlier to make breakfast, Sir. I think it would be better if I cook, so I hope you'll like it.” Darrem just woke up, of course to brush his teeth and comb his healthy hair. That is his morning routine. He dried his hand using a clean towel and nodded. “Thanks. You are using the pocket money I gave to you in your bank account right?” Serene nodded. Darrem gives $100 dollars pocket cash for all his workers. It is for errands like this. He doesn't want to be asked for money when they are in travel or work. He doesn't also want his workers to pay for the expenses d
As soon the two arrived at the hotel, Serene confronted Darrem. She wants to ask him about what he said earlier to her sister while they are in the car but she chose to ask him privately.“What did you just say to Vanna?” She wanted to hear his explanation, if he was joking around or he was serious, whatever it is this will lead to disaster. Darrem loosened his tie for a bit and surrendered his hands in the air. “Relax, Serene. Don't yell at me. Remember I'm the one paying you.” Serene frustratedly sighed. She sat on the sofa with her head down. She cannot imagine the scenarios tomorrow. She'll be meeting her dad and stepmother. Vanna seems convinced about Darrem's lie and this mess up everything.Darrem has no regrets about everything. He is not going to take his words back. Let Vanna think what he wants to think. “You are going to show up as my fiancé tomorrow, and from now on, you are not going to be my maid nor a hotel keeper, or a secretary. I'll be paying you to be my fiancé,
Serene woke up early as the sun rise. It is not because she is excited, she just can't sleep properly the whole night. It keeps on whispering on her ear: the idea that Darrem actually likes her. She cooked their breakfast, and kill her time reading the recipe book. Darrem who is as anticipated as Serene, just gargled his mouth wash and left his room. He smiled as soon as he sees Serene. “You're early,” he greeted and took an empty seat.Serene was still nervous. Meeting his eyes, is a total torture to her heart. She wasn't high schooler to feel this kind of affection. She should manage this like an adult, but it was her first to receive a confession as straight as that. “You want coffee?” she instead ask. She has to fix herself. She was hired to serve him, and not become comfortable around and got no use. Darrem nodded, but with a sudden hesitation. “You know you don't have to work for me that way. I don't want people to think I'm enslaving you or something.” He truly cared for Se
Before their flight, Serene didn't forget to phone Bailey. She leaned on the balcony wall, and raised her phone right on her ears after her bubbly friend pick up the call. Bailey was still on her bed, scratching her nose. It was just five in the morning, and she is still dozzy because of hangover. She had more than enough tequila yesterday and loss her consciousness in the Var. She didn't even know how she gets in— except that she wasn't in her dorm. “Oh shit!” The loud cried had almost shaken Serene's eardrum. That was so loud and abrupt. "Are you okay? Did I call very early that you thought you're just dreaming?” She looked over the tall buildings and dazzling lights beyond but her mind was flying over what could possibly happened to her friend. Bailey continuously wagged her head. She put her palm in her heads, phone on her lap. “I'm in a different room. It's big, and white. Where am I? Oh Serene, please help me... I could kill myself right now. How did I get here?”Serene can'
“It would be better if the maids are still unaware of our relationship,” Serene said and gracefully placed the tea on Darrem's desk.“Whatever you think is convenient,” Darrem replied. It's been days after the trip, and they haven't spoke with anyone in the house about the thing that is going on between them. The two maid seems clueless. Nothing really change between them. Serene was not fond of kinship and she don't show her affection so much so as Darrem. “Do you have plans this weekend? Let's go on a date again.” Serene smiled. She likes the idea. “Depends on what kind of date it was.” She pressed her lips, enjoying the dreamy sensation whenever she is with Darrem. He closed his laptop and lifted his eyes to Serene. ”Swimming is not a bad idea.”Serene nodded. She's been here for months yet she haven't tasted the salt of the sea of the island. “But I'm not gonna wear any revealing swim wear.”“Too bad, you can't swim with your maid uniform. Just wear something that is comfortabl
When Serene heard that the two had already made up, she persuaded Darrem to have a double date together with the reunited couple. “Please shove these paper away from your desk for just a day and let's have a get together.” Serene looked at him with begging eyes. “You just wanted to be with Bailey. Girls' date, not a double date,” he corrected her, but still grinning at the idea.“You can't say no at my request,” she hissed.“I'm afraid you are right. You had that effect on me Ms. Almirez.” Darrem left his chair to hugged her. When it's just the two of them, they usually cuddle. Serene allowed hugs and kisses but never intimate touch or anything beyond. Serene leaning on the desk, throw her arms on his neck and smiled to him. “I'm privileged, Mr. Roma.” Darrem bent down to kiss her but it was interrupted by the sudden opening of the door. They both pulled away and stared at Brixel. “I'm sorry to disturb you guys. Believe me I don't want to interrupt your private time together, but
“You are ready to meet my parents then?” Darrem asked Serene as soon she arrives at the house. Serene chuckled. He looks so adorable when he was excited. “Let me take a rest first.” Darrem gave her a loght kiss and assist her to their room. “They will love you no matter what. They are really nice.” Darrem was confident that there wouldn't be a problem with his parents. “I can't wait to meet them. You talk a lot about them and it makes me wonder about how they'll treat me.” Serene sat on the bed, taking off her sandals. Darrem joined her, kissing her cheeks. “They'll be nice. You don't have to be worried.” He looks so sincere for Serene to take that as a lie. Darrem settled everything. He would left the work for Brixel. His bestfriend know that this is important for them, finally introducing his fiancé to his parents.They fly to Boston, where his parents live. He informed them already about the purpose of their visit, and his parents got so excited about the news.“Oh, is she Ser
Serene was awakened by the loud ring of her phone. She pulled the eye mask to the top of her head, and grabbed the phone that is just next to her. She didn't check the caller rather speak to it in a grown. “Who is this?” she asked to the other line. A voice came, feminine.“Vanna. This is Vanna, Serene.” Her lids alerted, pulling her body up. She cannot remember the moment she lend her number to her half-sister. How did she know her phone number?Vanna cleared her throat. “You need to come here. In the house. Dad wants to see you.” Her tone was alarming, for she cannot find any cheerness in it. Vanna never speak to her with this kind of tone. She knew something was up. She wanted to aks why but hold herself. Traveling back and meeting her Dad and his family is something she cannot say a good thing. Despite her inward refusal, Serene still gave her an okay.The call had totally sank her mood. She just descend the stairs and brewed her coffee. Everyone in the house including Maricar
