"I am not! I'm just worried because I know how much she loves you. And I kind of see myself in her." I don't understand why James can't love Hailey back. Except for her rage a while ago, Hailey is a good and competent person. I'm sure every man will like her. "Don't worry about Hailey. Soon she'll realize that the love that she felt for me is pure platonic." James said with full confidence.I look at him intently. How can he be sure that Hailey's feelings for him are not romantic? James smiles warmly at me. It was the first time he smile like that to me. He grabs my hand and squeezes it lightly. "As I said, Hailey is like a sister to me. I will never do anything to hurt her. You too will soon realize that what Hailey felt for me isn't romantic. There are different kinds of love, and it's not always romantic." I nodded. His words are so sincere, and I can't find myself disagreeing with him. "Why did you call me here in your office? You told me it's for business." I said to break t

"So you work in JDLI as an Interior Designer, and you finally got your first project today after a month of assisting your colleagues, and yet here you are drinking, I bet you feel a bit pressured and anxious since it's your first project." It was Kyle, the guy who went to me and introduce himself a while ago. I was surprised at how smoothly our conversation is going. I thought that his agenda was to hit on me like inviting me to a hotel for a one-night stand just like the common thing that guys in the bar do. But he was respectful and friendly. It feels like he was not here to flirt but to get to know me. "You can say that, but also I got some personal problems that I can't share with you for now," I said. I told Kyle the reason why I decided to move here and where my current job is. I didn't tell him about my problem with James and the chaos that he brought into the office which is the main reason why I'm here. I know that sometimes it's better to share your problem with a stran

"Is that so? Then let's call the love of your life." James pulled out his phone, his brow creased as he was searching for his brother's name. He was angry, I can sense it. But I can't understand why. He knew from the start the feelings I have for his brother. He knew that aside from pursuing my dream, I went here to move on. "Are you serious?! You will really call Andrew?! For what?!" I said panicking. He ignored me. His attention is on his phone. After three rings the video was on. I saw Andrew's face on the screen. "What's up?" Andrew greeted him. "I'm with Yelle. Are you having lunch?" He said casually. I froze on my sit. I don't know what to do. Will I greet him back or what? "Yes, I'm having lunch with my wife," Andrew said then I saw him looking at his wife full of love. My heart hurts, as always. But I was used to it. Moving on is not easy. I thought that once you accept the fact that you are not meant for each other, moving on will come out naturally. There are times

"Are you okay, girl?" I nodded and smiled at Hannah. "Hangover," I whispered. Hannah nodded and went back to work. I massage my temples. I feel like my head was about to explode. I badly need coffee, that's my best remedy for my hangover. I forgot to buy a caffe macchiato at Starbucks because I will be late for work. James is acting really weird. I can't believe that he made an effort to go to my unit just to remind me of how in love and happy Andrew is with Mara. As if I don't know that fact. After all these years, he still considers me a threat to the relationship between Mara and Andrew. Maybe because I'm very vocal to him about my feelings for his brother. But I never failed to assure him that I have no plan of stealing Andrew or ruining the marriage that Mara and Andrew has. Aside from my genuine love and care for Mara, I love their daughter so much, and I consider Tanya as my daughter. I will never do something to hurt Tanya. I will always choose to protect her. And if I

"I can make that happen."Hearing those words makes my heart flutter. Last night while I was drinking beer, I made a decision that I will need someone to help me to move on because some say that sometimes finding new love can mend a broken heart. I smirked at him. "Really? That's not gonna be easy." He looks at me intently and smiles. "It won't be easy but I know you are worth it." I bit my lower lip when I felt like my tears wanted to come out. Hearing those words from him warms my heart. I was so down last night after the video call with Mara and Andrew. I needed these words to regain my self-worth. Our food arrived just in time. We decided to eat first before we continue our conversation. "But before that, I need to tell you something," I said a bit nervous. If I want to open my heart to someone, I should tell him first about my situation with James. And yes, I decided to give Kyle a chance.He gave all his attention to me. "I'm ready."I heaved a heavy sigh before I start to

"The pasta is almost done, can you prepare the table?" "Sure," James said then he went to the kitchen cabinet.I raise my brow when I notice that James knew where the plates and utensils are placed. Then I remember when he was enjoying his coffee the first time he went here... take note, he prepare it himself in my kitchen without asking my permission.I place the creamy pumpkin and mushroom pasta on the dining table, James was already seated. James was about to get some pasta when I place a bowl of pumpkin soup in front of him. "I prepare a pumpkin soup for you, you should eat that first since it's passed dinner time," I said. James smile at me and nodded. He obediently eats his soup."I didn't know you can cook," James said after he finished his soup. I put the pasta on his plate and mine. Though I can't eat much because I already had dinner with Kyle, I still decided to eat with him. "There are many things you don't know about me," I said as a matter of fact and smirked. Jame

"I just followed the instruction given to me by the management."Hailey glared at me. She was fuming mad and I understand where she was coming from. But I was just following what the CEO told me to do. "Instruction? Do you think I will believe that petty excuse of yours?!" She said.I almost rolled my eyes. It sucks to be an employee. You are becoming the punching bag of the higher-ups. It's not like I can freely talk back, there's still a limitation in talking back to your boss. I'm proud of myself for not acting like that when I'm leading the marketing team in our company. I would say that I'm a cool and sympathetic boss. I never power trip our employees. "It's true! You can ask James about it." I said in a respectful true. "What did you just call our CEO? James?! Didn't I tell you to address him right?!" She said raising her voice. I bit my lower lip to control my emotion. "Sorry. You can ask SIR JAMES about it. He was the one who gave the instruction." She was about to say s

“Mom, Dad, look who’s with me!”Luther and I had kept my transfer back to the Philippines a secret from our parents. We wanted to surprise them—and it was the reason my brother had extended his stay in the U.S., to bring me back with him.My mom gasped, her eyes welling up as she took me in. “Abrielle? Is it really you?”I smiled, warmth flooding me as I nodded. “Yes, Mom. I’m home.”She crossed the room in an instant, pulling me into a tight embrace. My dad followed, wrapping his arms around us as my mom held on like she’d never let go.My brothers stood off to the side, grinning at our little family reunion. Daniel, who had helped plan this surprise, looked especially pleased as he watched our parents’ joy.To celebrate, Daniel had reserved a table at a fine-dining restaurant. As we settled into our seats and began eating, conversation flowed easily, filled with laughter and updates on life.Midway through dinner, my dad looked at me, curiosity in his eyes. “So, how’s James?

Finally, the day had come for us to return to our home country.My brother insisted on extending his stay so we could all go back together with Kyle.We arrived at the airport, the bustling terminal greeting us. My co-workers had already taken their flight back to the Philippines. My brother had upgraded my ticket to first class, but we had to change flights since the first class seats on the original one were fully booked.As we checked in, I spotted James entering the airport. My brow furrowed in confusion. What is he doing here? He was supposed to be on the same flight as the JDLI team.“You’re here,” my brother greeted James with a nod.James merely nodded back, his eyes darting to his watch repeatedly, as if waiting for someone.“Are you expecting someone?” I couldn’t help but ask.He shook his head, a small smirk tugging at his lips. “Why would you think that?”I shrugged casually. “You keep looking at your watch.”“Oh, that… I’m just checking the time.

"Yelle, will you be my girlfriend?" he asked again.I could see the sweat on his face.I already knew what he was planning when my brother handed me the blindfold, and I already knew my answer.I nodded and smiled. "Yes," I replied.His eyes widened, and he shouted, "Yes!" before pulling me into a hug.I chuckled and hugged him back, hearing my brother congratulate us in the background.I saw James mouth the word "Congratulations!" and even raise his glass as if offering a toast.Then he turned his attention back to the girl he was with. They seemed to be enjoying their conversation, and I even noticed him whisper something to her.Kyle released me from our hug, and we stepped down from the stage to join my brother."Congratulations, Yelle! You finally have a boyfriend!" he said, teasing me with a grin.I just smiled at him. My brother had been the one to help me decide to accept Kyle’s pr

"Are you serious?" I asked, bewildered.James smiled. "Why? Isn't this what you want?""Y-yes," I replied, frustrated with myself for stammering.I was confused. I couldn’t understand what James was thinking. He had always made it clear he didn’t like Kyle, he often sabotaging our dates. Now, he was acting supportive of my relationship with Kyle."Are you sure? Because I can see hesitation in your eyes," James said, reverting to his usual self.I rolled my eyes. "Of course not! I've always wanted to annul our marriage. We both know we don’t love each other, this whole thing was just a result of alcohol," I defended myself.He just smiled at me."Why are you suddenly being cooperative about this?" I couldn't help but ask, needing to understand his true intentions."Simple. Now that you're getting serious with that guy, I’m confident you won’t chase after my brother when we return to the Philippines," he replied with a casual shrug.I glared at him, my anger rising at his reasoning.

"Luther! Stop pressuring Kyle!" I understand my brother’s point. Since I’m returning to the Philippines, there’s a good chance that the relationship Kyle and I are trying to build might not work out. Besides the challenges of a long-distance relationship, Kyle has a business to take care of here in the U.S. It would be selfish of me to ask him to leave his life here to join me in the Philippines.Kyle and I aren't even official yet. My brother should stop pressuring him; he has no obligation to me or anything.My brother shrugged. "You're not a fan of long-distance relationships, Yelle," he said matter-of-factly.I rolled my eyes. "But we're not official yet! He has no responsibility to me. Besides, I still have work here in the U.S., so we can still see each other. There's no need for him to follow me to the Philippines," I argued.Kyle smiled at me, his eyes softened as he spoke. "We could make our relationship official," he said, catching me off guard.I felt both stunned and pres

“Are you suggesting I’m playing favorites?” James’s voice cut through the tension, surprising both Athena and me.Athena and I exchanged startled glances, unaware that James had been listening.James strode over to us, fixing his gaze on Athena. "I'm sure you have an idea how we secured the mall project," he said, his voice steady and unyielding.Athena looked away, unable to respond, guilt etched across her face. She was one of the few in the company who knew about my ties to the Zobel Group of Companies—a secret James had revealed to her.James turned to the assembled employees, his voice firm yet composed. "Each one of you must understand that I never play favorites. You were all hired solely because of your capabilities and nothing else."He paused, letting his words sink in before continuing. "I will address this issue once and for all, not just for Yelle's sake but also for the company's reputation. I stand by my principles: this company will never be swayed by personal connecti

"How was day?" My brother greeted me with a warm smile as I returned home. Since he started staying with me, it became his habit to ask about my day. In the Philippines, we rarely find the time for such conversations; our busy work schedules leave little room for personal chats. Besides, our mom insists we avoid talking about business or work when we're together. She believes our precious free time should be spent bonding with family."It was hectic," I exclaimed.Amidst the chaos at work, I couldn't help but beam with excitement. "But I have good news for you!"I found myself unable to disclose the news of my appointment as the interior designer for Zobel Mall project here in the US to him. Instead, James and Luther dominated the conversation, their voices prevailing throughout most of our interaction."What is it?" he inquired, his tone laced with gentleness."I got the Zobel project! I'll be the interior designer for our mall here!" I exclaimed, brimming with excitement.But my b

Luther's POV"Yelle is seeing someone?" I was utterly stunned. Before she came to the U.S., we were all convinced she was here solely to pursue her career. We were certain she wouldn't find the time or even have the interest to date anyone. She had been so determined to make a name for herself."We didn't know about that," I added. "Yelle never mentioned him to us."James nodded, a frown crossing his face. "To be honest, I'm quite disappointed in your sister. I thought she came here to focus on her career and make a name for herself. Yet, in just a few months, she's already found someone to date."A sly grin crept across my lips. The jealousy in James's voice was unmistakable, far outweighing any hint of disappointment. I was almost certain he had a thing for my sister."On second thought," I began, aiming to lift his spirits, "since Yelle never mentioned that guy to us, I don't think she's serious about him."James breathed a sigh of relief. “I certainly hope so,” he murmured, a sha
