As they got out of the elevator on the ground floor, the new receptionist looked at Lucia with envy. So this woman was going to be their Boss's future wife?Someone who could get those snobbish secretaries move from the front desk isn't someone she should mess with.When they gorlt to the front desk, she bowed to them. And Lucia noticed that she wasn't any of the ladies she met upon her arrival. She didn't think much of it though.When they got out of the building, the car was already infront as the driver got off to open the door for them.Leon sat in the back. As the driver was waiting for Lucia to enter the back as well. But she opened the front door and sat inside. The driver looked at her with surprise. Did this woman just refuse to sit with their Boss? How many women in X city want to sit in the same space as their Boss? But this woman...? He looked at Leon in car and he signaled him to go and start the car.As he went around the car, Leon smiled as he looked at the woman sitting
Lucia was touched when she heard Pablo. He really is her little brother. Then she turned to glare at Leon. This man looked sophisticated on the outside, but was really shameless deep in his bones.How could he try to make her his girlfriend, when he hasn't said anything to her first. It's not like she'll even agree to it.Pablo looked at them both and felt that for some reason they looked good together.So he decided to tease Lucia." sis, you guys look good together... I don't mind it if you get together with him."" Especially if brother Jonny is bullying you."Leon looked at Pablo as he said these things. The more he spent time with this duo, the more he felt that their chemistry was really good. And the more he felt he needed this same kind of warmth. He's always thought that sharing pain and happiness together is what makes a family stronger. As he thought this, he said to Pablo. " kiddo, though I've just known your sis recently, I promise you that I won't bully her."" Okay... yo
When they got to the school, it was very dark. And most of the students were already in their hostels. But a few who normally like night outings were also on their way out.Lucia told the chauffeur to drop her off at the gate. But he drove into campus after looking in the rearview mirror at Leon, who didn't instruct him to stop.Lucia had no choice but to let him.Not that she minded Leon dropping her off. But lately rumors have been flying around about her break up with Johnny. She didn't know who got the information first, but she was certain that Renata had something to do with it.She won't stop until she took everything away from her. She's always been like that since they were young. But this time, she won't give up anything anymore for her. She was going to go all out if Renata tries to put her down again.The car stopped at the car park. She turned to Leon and said. " thank you for driving me home." then she opened the door to get out.But after taking a few steps, Leon called
As the window still did not roll down despite all the knocking, Renata was slightly furious. Who did this person think he is?!If not for the fact that she wanted to know what relationship he had with Lucia, she wouldn't even walk to this car, not to talk of jumping infront of it at the risk of her life.After a few more knocks and finding out that the window won't budge, she started speaking. Thinking that the man would open the window if she mentions Lucia."Hello, mister. Sorry to trouble you. I know you don't know me.I’m Lucia’s sister. I just saw her get out of your car. How do you know my sister?”Renata refused to believe that any man could ignore her and continued knocking on the window. A few seconds later, the car window slowly rolled down. When she saw the man sitting in the car, Renata felt her breath hitch. Her heart also skipped a beat. The car was parked at a spot which has less illumination and the window was only half opened, but this did not prevent her from seeing th
The man did not bother to cover up his indifference and disdain towards her at all. He didn't even glance at her once. Renata’s expression instantly changed, turning extremely ugly. She always thought that she was popular with the opposite sex. Ever since she was little, all the guys she liked always chased after her. And she made sure to have them rapped around her finger. No matter what they did and how much they tried to ignore her, she always has a way of drawing their attention towards her. Even Johnny who was said to have deep affection for Lucia broke up with Lucia for her. So she did not think that she wouldn't be able to draw this handsome man into her net as well. Since she was pretty and could easily seduced even Johnny, it would be easy for her to get any other guy. But unexpectedly, not only did this man not fall for her charm, but he also showed her a look of disgust. Pure disgust!This was a huge blow to Renata's pride. There was a look of shame and indignation on her
No, no, no.... she didn't think he does. She has been careful all these while.She calmed herself after reassuring herself of the fact that there is no trace of evidence left behind. “ Renata who exactly was that man?” Linda asked as she came into view after the car disappeared. The man in the car was definitely the most eye catching man she had seen in her entire career as a manager. No one had a comparable temperament and attitude in the entire entertainment sector! But this man carried such aura. However, that man was obviously not in the entertainment industry. Even the most famous international stars in their industry did not have that sort of arrogance. Renata who was unhappy with the turn of events answered with a sullen face “ I also want to know who he is ” What sort of eminent figure was he? Which families young master was he that he dared to behave in such an arrogant manner?Since she's been in the social circle of those rich kids for some time now, she knew those she could
Lucia returned to her bedroom, only to be pulled aside by Jael.Jael’s eyes were gleaming from excitement just to gossip. "Lucia, whose car was it that came to drop you?”Lucia looked at Jael with surprise. How come this girl knows someone dropped her off. The car park was almost empty when they arrived." That was Me Leon. The man that will be donating blood for Pablo's surgery. ""oh..." So that's what happened. Then she turned to Lucia, her gossip mode activated." Is he handsome?" What does he do?Did he ask for an absurd compensation in return for helping Pablo?"Jael asked a string of questions at a time.Lucia smiled looking at her. This girl always made her feel warm even when her world's being turned upside down. Sometimes, she acts like her mother." No mum" she answered. " Everything went on very well. "" Pablo's surgery has been scheduled for next week. Mr Leon has a business trip to go on tomorrow. And he'll only be back in a weeks time."" That's great! " I guess Pablito
When she got to the hostel, Jael was there as well because she didn't have a class at all today. Looking at Lucia enter absentmindedly, she asked. " What's up babe?" Why do you look as if you have a lot on your mind." Did you look for a slot in a movie Ebony is producing for me?" she asked back. "Me? No... I would have told you if I had " Ebony is a very big company. Although her family was affluent and she could pull of some deals for Lucia, she couldn't go that far with Ebony entertainment. Though Lucia knew that Jael probably didn't know about this, she was still worried when she heard her say it wasn't her doing. She frowned, deep in thought.This call from that company was really odd. She still can't figure out who that friend that recommended her was.They were just looking for a substitute.And Ebony Entertainment did not have to get someone to call her personally.If they wanted to contact her, they could’ve gotten the person who recommended her in the first place to do so.The most
“I didn’t think that this cute little Lolita would be such a bully. As expected of a princess of a rich family. They always feel they’re above everyone else.” Jael lamented as they made their way downstairs.“Let’s just mind our business while we’re here. We only have six months to perfect our courses before we debut.”“Yeah, I’m aware of that.” Jael pouted.it’s not like we’ll be the ones looking for trouble anyway. I just hope some people won’t come looking for our trouble.”Going downstairs and out of the building, they walked towards the main building. Before they got to the main building, though, they had to pass by the male dormitory.As they turned into a corner facing the main building, they bumped into a teenage boy who was between fifteen and seventeen years old, trying to run away from some people.“I’m sorry… I’m really sorry.” He shouted as he left them and climbed up the window of the basement of the male dorm building. Just as Jael was about to shout after him, a group
Lucia entered Pablo’s room after taking a shower. Looking at the young boy snuggled under a blanket, a fleeting smile formed at the corners of her lips. She sat on a chair beside his bed and arranged his blanket, covering him properly.Thinking of what Johnny said today, she couldn’t be more grateful to Leon. There was no harm in moving on with her life. And in these past few months, Leon has always been around to keep things in order in her life. He has basically taken care of everything concerning both her and Pablo, even to the extent that all those around her who have been good to her are also secretly getting help from him. For instance, Auntie Pam’s grandson, who just finished college and was in search of work, suddenly got an appointment letter from a company in her hometown.She was ready to finally move on. She would no longer dwell on the past. With this thought in mind, she kissed Pablo good night and walked out, closing the door gently behind her.Very soon, a call came in
Sundown district… As the main gate opened, the car entered the drive way and drove towards the garage. As it passed by the fountain, the noticed two cars parked in the drive way. One was an unfamiliar car, but the other one even if burnt to ashes Leon would be able to identify it. The atmosphere immediately changed. His aura became so cold; you would think hades just descended from hell. Even the chauffeur could feel his bones tremble. He didn’t know why the old master was here, but it definitely wasn’t for something good. He parked the car in the garage and left as soon as he switched off the engine. He didn’t want to be at the cross fire of both masters. Though he wondered why the old master would go out of his way to come visit this grandson. It’s been close to eight years since he last met him. Of course it was the young master that refused to see him. After all, what happened back then was a very huge issue that cost the young master the life of a person he valued the most.
Lucia on the other hand walked towards Leon while everyone’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Who is this lady that can just walk towards Leon without being pushed aside by his cold aura? As Lucia got closer, she couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous. Especially after what happened between them the other night. They have actually not communicated since that night. She didn’t know how to face him. Leon stood up as Lucia approached. Everyone around them held their breathe when this happened. This young master was really pissed this time. He isn’t even giving his best friend face and is about to walk away. Even Lucia was baffled as to why he’s suddenly stood up. As everyone was thinking this, the man in question walked towards Lucia, and pulled her into his arms.The people in the room “……!!!?” What the h*ll just happened? What did they just witness?! Did Leon, who was as cold and emotionless as an ice mountain… did he just hug a woman in front of them? This was like a moun
Jael broke the silence by exclaiming “Is my male god here as well?” she turned to Lucia who looked more surprised than she was, judging from how red her face was at the moment.The other two girls looked at each other. From the conversation of these two, they could tell that Lucia’s boyfriend was here in this club as well. And was even seated in the VIP room. It just shows how influential this person was. They couldn’t help but be more curious as to who he really is. Lucia pushed her hair behind her ear, indicating that she was nervous and expectant as well. She hoped to see Leon, at the same time she was nervous of him entering their private room, with her friends around. “I don’t know. He didn’t say anything about coming here.” She replied Jael. Maybe he came here for business as well.” “Well, you may be right… But he could be here because a certain someone is here.” Jael smirked as she said mischievously. Lucia glared at her, abashed. She also wanted to know why Leon was there
These were their roommates and she thought to just invite them, since they didn’t have any more friends. Who would have thought that they were this brainless? Lucia ignored them. These girls were very superficial. They only cared about fancy cloths and big brands. She wasn’t very close with them, but just because they shared a room and the fact that they didn’t have anybody else to invite, she didn’t mind it when Jael wanted to invite them. Anyway, it’ll end after today. They walked into the pub. As they walked inside, Ronnie Ann gasped at the beautiful and luxurious decoration. It wasn’t too high profile, but you could see that a lot of effort had been put into making it this cool. No wonder a lot of bigshots come here for business purposes. It makes one feel comfortable. A bar hostess immediately led them to their private room as soon as Lucia gave her name. She took them to a private room on the second floor. After entering, Ronnie Ann and the other roommate started to order. Jael l
Lucia whose kiss has been stolen for the second time in the night, stared at the man’s back as he walked out of the apartment. What just happened? She didn’t agree to be his woman! She unconsciously touched her lip that has just been kissed and recalled the scene that took place a few minutes ago and her face started to burn from shyness again. His lips really were soft.As she was still in dream land, she didn’t know that Jael had come out of her room until she saw a light flash before her eyes. Jael took a picture of her dazed expression as she stood there with her hand on her lip. Lucia snapped out of her daze and realized that Jael had taken a picture of her just now.“What are you doing? Delete it right now.” She said as she tried to take the phone from her.“How was the kiss? Tell me all about it.”“What kiss? It was an accident.”“Accident? I saw everything just now. Including him perking you again and saying; “You are my woman from now on.” Jael tried to mimic Leon.“He didn’t
Lucia noticed that at the mention of home, Pablo seems to have deflated.She squatted in front of him and said “You’re moving to my new apartment. It’s near my university. You’ll be living with me from now on. Auntie Pam will be taking care of you on days that I have a class. But you’ll have to move to a new school.”“Really?” Pablo was surprised as well as happy to hear that he didn’t have to go to that house again.“But my school is far from the university.”“You don’t have to worry about that. There is a school about 40km from the university. He can enroll there.”Pablo looked at Lucia for a second and said to Leon “I’ll listen to sis.”“Okay.”They all went down and completed the discharge procedure. Then drove to Lucia’s new apartment.A week later Pablo started a new school. Lucia and Jael had two more months to graduate and had a lot of papers to write before that. Everybody was busy with something, but they were all happy for a first time in the past few months.Leon stopped by
Boss really likes Miss Lucia to be able to go through all this. He's never seen him this focused on a woman. He was quite the opposite. He always stayed away from them, showing how much he seem to care about anything concerning Miss Lucia.Leon sat on a bench in the corridor with the rest. He looked over at Lucia who seemed to be sitting quietly but had the word"worried" written all over her face.He knew he didn't have to console her, as she knows her limit.Just like that the group sat down for another 5hours until the red light above the OR went off. Lucia stood up as soon as she saw the nurses pushing Pablo out of the OR. Seeing his pale face, she couldn't stop a tear from rolling out of her eye. She knew that her brother must have suffered a lot from the time he came to this hospital until this surgery. But she was happy that at least the first and most difficult stage is over now.Ivan walked out after the nurses and looked at the people who have been sitting out here for over 8h
