“If it has come to this, I guess you’re right” she agreed to his proposition.
“Do you have your own swimming pool?” she wondered if she could resume her swimming regimen.
Daniel is not sure if she’s aware of the complexity of their situation.
Does she understand what living under one roof means?
“Nope, just a penthouse” he simply replied.
“Wait. It’s not the same storage room you had while we’re in college, right?” she panicked.
“That’s so small, we could barely fit in there” she objected.
“You never complained before when you wanted to sleep-over” he reprimanded her.
She just rolled her eyes.
His financial status back in college is unknown to her.
He doesn’t have a car and other flashy things while studying but he always had a lot of cash to pay

They went back to her unit to shower and get a change of clothes for the next day.While she’s doing her business, Daniel freely roamed around when a pink album caught his eye.“Our Wedding” he read the title in confusion.The more he browsed the pages, the more confused he becomes.Is he suffering from any amnesia?The photos are not as he remembers it to be.“Convincing, right?” Celine appeared in her pink cartoon pyjamas.“I edited most of the photos so if anyone wanted proof, I could easily show this one”“No one could tell since everything was made seven years ago” she winked at him proudly.She has really covered her bases.After keeping the album in her desk drawer, they prepared to leave when her door bell rang.“Hide” she whispered to Daniel who quickly went inside her room.“Baby girl!!!” Linda Lopez hugged her as

Classic snake” Daniel clapped annoyingly.Brendan’s fist was fast and it landed partially on Daniel’s cheek.Daniel’s quick reflex prevented him from getting a knock-out.“At least I’m not a hypocrite.

She didn’t show up today”“She’s also not picking up her phone.

I’ll bring you there tomorrow” he planted a kiss on her forehead then went to work.

Remember the good times – xoxoB’She looked at Daniel to see if there’s any excitement.When she read the note, she felt a prick in her heart.It seemed they kept in touch while Daniel was abroad.Good thing she only saw annoyance in Daniel’s reaction.Very good.She’s been thinking on how to avoid Britney since afternoon.She cannot decide since she doesn’t know Daniel’s relation

It’s been a while” Britney tried to approach Daniel but the man stood from his seat to maintain a safe distance.“Apologies Ms. Smith. Didn’t my secretary tell you I’m not available?” he looked at Celine meaningfully.He wanted to know what is going on in that brain of hers.“I did, boss. It’s BS Smith, right?” Celine asked Britney innocently.“BSmith, why would you put an extra S?” she wanted to tear this little witch to pieces.“Apologies Ms. Smith. I’m still new here.

Why didn’t you pick it up?” she said in annoyance.Did he call her so she can pick it up herself?Isn’t he too much?When he didn’t answer, she started looking for him.“Daniel!!!”“Can you put your clothes on?” she immediately closed her eyes when she saw Daniel walking naked with only towel covering his private part.She suddenly remembered her dream of a naked man taking a shower.She could not shake the image in her head.And whenever she sees Daniel naked, she’s feeling awkward.She could feel her cheeks heating

But you’ll have to decide how the company will move forward given that Minerva’s position will be vacant” Linda reminded both Celine and Daniel.The mother superior could not be any happier for the two of them now. Now she only wanted for Celine to have babies so she can guide her through motherhood.“Still work, Linda?” Daniel teased.“Actually, no. I want her to enjoy her motherhood so she has to sign the formalities as soon as possible” Linda objected.“Pbbft. Motherhood will only come once she’s ready.

The old man was really grumpy.And why wouldn’t he?Celine said that the ceremony will only involve a few guests. And it would be a simple celebration. However, as soon as she started setting up her decorations, he knew it wasn’t as simple as she claimed it to be.Since he could not convince them to stop, he left the farm as soon as they started putting up the tent and only came back when he received the message that the farm is back to its previous order.He could already see their eco-friendly rating dropping from the charts. He still needed to submit reports to explain that the event did not pollute the environment.So, he is really grumpy right now. He has a lot of work to do.If the spoiled owner wanted to discuss business he needed to calm down for a day before he would be willing to negotiate.To be honest, he’s beginning to have second thoughts on selling the property to Celine.

Even Aaron who adored him looks at him disappointingly now.He knew he made a mistake but he can explain himself if he will be given a chance. All that matters to him now is that Celine agreed to be his wife for real. The rest will follow later on.“Let’s have dinner now. Celine is hungry” Daniel said to break the deathly glares directed at him.The rest of the group snapped out of their own worlds when they heard Celine was hungry.Sylvia immediately went to the kitchen to check on the food while Aunt Marge prepared the dining table.Celine wanted to help but everyone wanted her to rest.She thought about what happened in the afternoon and they must have felt pity for her.Her heart warms up at the special treatment she’s receiving.“Uhhmm.

Daniel tried to swallow hard to remove the lump building in his throat.Suddenly, it was very difficult to breathe after realizing what happened.He let the elders scold him so he could punish himself but Sylvia’s silence was more than he could take.No one said another word anymore. No matter what they wanted to say, it’s all useless now.They were at this stand still when the Blooms arrived.“Ah, Daniel you came. Celine would be relieved” Dr. Bloom was filled with vigour.He never expected the wedding atmosphere to lift Grandma Bloom’s spirits.They just came from the make-shift tent where she inspected the final decorations and her eyes were dreamy.“Let’s get married again tomorrow, dear” she joked as she gave instructions to the wedding planning team.“Grandma” Daniel greeted.Grandma Bloom acknowledged his presence but turned her attention to the la

Their reactions were not like as she has expected.“What if Daniel doesn’t want to get married?” Aunt Marge suddenly asked.She was worried that Daniel would have to give in to Celine again.For the Stevensons, they place a high value to marriage and family. Since their businesses could easily attract those unscrupulous characters, they needed the kind of security that only blood and family could provide.“Of course, Daniel will marry Celine. There’s no way that Daniel will object” Sylvia defended Celine from the Stevensons.“I understand all your concern. Of course, Daniel will have to agree this time. Anyway, I prepared the ceremony thinking that Daniel has really found a wife. It turns out, it’s only a ruse to throw off the Solomons.” Celine explained.“Daniel has already said that he will only get married because of love. I guess later I will know if he sees me as his potential

She could hear Britney’s sobs in the background. Daniel must have put their call on speaker mode. Isn’t she really thick-skinned? If it were Celine, she would have definitely dug herself out of that room. But then again, she’s Britney Smith, only she can do what she does and only she can accept this kind of embarrassment.“Britney, just cross Daniel’s name on your list. He’s not used to dealing with emotions so you will really lose out. He’s also not romantic so you will be really bored. Aren’t you embarrassed if you have to set an appointment with me if you want to have intimate nights with him? Even if you managed to marry him, he will not acknowledge your marriage in public so no one will really know that he’s your husband. Trust me on this one, he’s been married for seven years now and yet no one knows about his wife. If you want to receive flowers, you will either have to plant it yourself or order it online to

She felt an inexplicable excitement hearing his deep and powerful voice.

So, I thought I can call you again since you’re divorced now” Britney said sheepishly.Daniel heaved a deep breath to calm the rage he felt before replying again.“Ms. Smith, news of my divorce may have circulated but it doesn’t mean anyone can just call me for dates. I’m not that desperate.” he replied in a stern voice.“That’s not what I meant, Daniel. I just got back to the country and I have a project proposal. Knowing your work ethics, you wouldn’t let a good opportunity pass. I mentioned your divorce because I think your ex-wife will not be jealous anymore if we went f

Mom is feeling under the weather so Tiff is accompanying her for now” Aaron felt cold sweats appearing on his forehead. Never had he imagine that he will blatantly lie to Daniel one day.“Oh” was all Daniel could reply then ended their call.In that case, it’s best to rest early so he can reach Celine before lunch.He decided to leave some reminders to Oscar regarding the company’s affairs.“I’ll leave you in-charge, Oscar.
