"Stephen’s POV"
"I have to go finish these files, sir," she remarked as she walked away. I was observing her as she walked through their office.
I don’t know what is happening to me, why I suddenly show concern for her and why I have this feeling of protecting her all of a sudden, but I want her to be happy.
I've been observing her since she returned, and I've concluded she's one of a kind among the girls. She has a unique attractiveness that can entice any guy, and I believe it stems from her abilities and enthusiasm in life.
I grinned and returned to my office to finish my work; I had been examining and signing paperwork that had been sent to my office the whole morning.
I placed my pen on the table and leaned my back on the chair I am sitting in, turning it, facing the glass wall. I heard a knock coming from the door of my office, I sighed before I spoke, "come in."
 
"Sir, you have been following her for a week. Aren’t you planning to go down and have a good talk with her?" Mr. Domingo did not stop himself from asking him about his matters.Axel is quietly sitting inside the vehicle in the passenger seat while observing Schina and his rival in love. He wants to explode out of anger at seeing her having fun with someone else, but he can’t do anything other than watching her from afar.He wanted to reveal his thoughts to her, but he was terrified of rejection and being embarrassed as a result. Axel was terrible at expressing himself. He had been calm for years, but when he finally found her, he was worried even when he was sleeping.He did the same routine for about a week, coming to work and following Stephen’s car to see if Schina arrived safely home."Sir, you can’t continue following her. You should do something or else she
"I am not here to harm you, but I am here as a friend giving advice. I know you like Axel," Marie mentioned. She was looking sincerely at her eyes and you could tell that she was not pretending by what she was showing her.Marie was sitting towards Schina’s seat. They had met accidentally in a restaurant near where Schina is working. Marie reached for her hands and touched her softly, pleading, "I am begging you to stay away from Axel." She studied Schina’s reaction only to see how confused she was."I don’t want to see a girl like you getting hurt because of him and… his ex-girlfriend is already back to take him again, I think you better distance yourself to not get hurt deeply," she continued, then smiled at her."What is she saying?" Her mind asked she was confused why she suddenly warned her about this since she was in lo
-"Stephen’s POV"Three years ago…"Hey, look at her. She’d been looking at me since college till then," I whispered to Axel while my eyes were fixed to Janine’s beauty.Our batch held a meeting in a bar to celebrate our success in having a job after graduation. It’s been months since we finished all our credentials at university and some of us have been working in big companies andsome have their own companies like Axel while I…I am still wondering around and planning what I want to be because I haven’t decided yet. My parents have been urging me to follow the steps of my good friend to build my own company but it has not yet entered my mind.For now, all of my plans are focused on her only…"You have been waiting for her to confess to you, and s
"Mr. Andrews?"He slowly opened his eyes and realized that he had fallen asleep in his office while reading the documents. He found his secretary standing in front of his desk and looking at him.He raked his hair with his fingers and threw his tantalizing eyes at her, "what is it?" He asked with a deep tone of voice."Here are the files you asked me to get," she said as she handed him the folders and exited the room.Stephen leaned his back against the backrest and thought about what made him like about Schina, he smiled when he realized that she resembles with Janine though they are different in looks, they have the same thinking and talent.For him, Schina is better than Janine in any aspect, but he will never forget how he felt about her. "Maybe that’s the reason why I fell for her, she’s the same as Janine." He muttered.He look
"S-sir???"Stephen gets out of the car, places the box in the compartment, and opens the car door for her, saying, "Get in."She had no choice but to obey his orders because he had already placed her belongings in his car's compartment. She gave him a sidelong glance before settling into the passenger seat.After closing the door, he quickly got in and sat next to her. "Let’s go?" He was looking at her and noticed that she hadn’t fastened her seatbelt. He moved closer to her body to clasp her seat belt."Wh—at are you trying to do? She inquires when his face was an inch closer to her face."I am helping you to put your seat belt on," he casually replied, and he moved back to his seat upon putting the belt on her."Th – thank you," she shyly thanked him and shifted her gaze to the window. She let the window open and stayed looking out o
"What are you—" she paused and murmured, "doing here?" She stared at him irritably. She didn’t want to be rude to him, but she did it to make him stop rowing in two rivers, and she didn’t want to be in the middle of the two lovers."Good! You may take that box and go right now "She replied forcefully and moved around to unlock the gate."Wait! Let’s talk," she heard him say, but she continued walking inside."Why are you ignoring me like this? Do you also think that I am a pervert just like how my cousin described me?" He confronted her.She was surprised when he mentioned that and paused to listen to him, but she didn’t dare look behind her to see how he looked because she might have fallen deeply for him when she saw his sincere look."I already get what I want from you so it’s better if you will stop coming to me because I don’t like t
The sun was shining brightly. The birds were buzzing, and the breeze encompassed the entire region. Aicko had a pleasant morning. She went to the restroom to rinse her face and brush her teeth, but her world was flipped upside down when she heard a vehicle honk outside her apartment.She stared out the window, trying to figure out who had dared to ruin her lovely morning. "Axel.!" She growled.Aicko went to the bathroom and let him make a noise outside while she continued her routine for the morning. She was brushing her teeth carefully, even though she could still hear the noise coming from outside.She thought that if she let him make noise, he would get tired and stop his nonsense, but it continued to make her neighbors annoyed and they went out to complain about her, even knocking at her door.Though Aicko wasn’t done rinsing her face and still had soap on it, she opened the door only to he
"Good morning, ma’am and sir! May I take your order, please?" The server cheerfully stated as she gave the menus to her customers.Schina's eyes widened when she saw the price. She was ashamed to order because she hadn't brought enough money with her and wasn't expecting it to happen."I would like to have –"He stopped ordering when she motioned to him to come a bit closer to her and whisper, "can we go to another eatery? Because I can’t afford to buy here, I only took fifty pesos, and I didn’t know that I would meet you and invite mehere.""We would like two sets of tapsilog, one order of sisig, two sets of pancakes, and two cups of coffee," he says firmly, motioning for her to calm down.The server repeated his directions and then left, ordering them to return in five minutes. Schina's eyes continued to move and glance around. She was nervous abou
