Cynthia stayed paused for a moment to digest everything Sebastian had debated a moment ago. All the girls in the city had only one dream and that was to enter the Nascimento family by marrying the richest billionaire in City A and Cynthia wouldn’t let her one big chance slip her by. She was willing to do whatever it took to have Sebastian for her.“ I accept your terms, Mr. Nascimento.” Cynthia showed a slight grin but Sebastian was on his phone by that time and didn’t see it.“ Give me your number!” Sebastian asked for Cynthia’s number which she gave him right away. After having the number in his possession, he stood up and left, leaving cash on the table. Although he was sarcastic and cold, Cynthia didn’t care as she thought of her future with Sebastian and how soon she’d be the bride of a billionaire.Meanwhile, at Ayato’s school, at around lunchtime—--------------“ Wow, Ayato! What you’re eating seems delicious. Is it homemade?” One of his classmates asked him as he was enjoying
Cynthia looked upon Ayato's homework. The more she looked at it, the more she sweats. " What's wrong with you lady?" Ayato asked Cynthia who was looking all embarrassed and was trying to keep her composure around him. Ayato knew for a fact what could be the reason for her profuse sweats. " It's nothing--------------- It's just very hot in here." She said flustered. Ayato lights up the AC for her as a sign of courtesy. He lit it up even though it wasn't at all hot in the room. After lighting up the room, Cynthia started feeling uncomfortable. " Ayato, could you turn off the AC?" Cynthia exclaimed. Ayato grinned slightly as he asked, " Why should I turn it off? You said you were hot earlier, didn't you?" " Ah, I'm not hot anymore, so please, turn it off?" Ayato turned off the AC and when it was time to go back to the homework, Cynthia found an excuse to leave. Sebastian found her in the living room as she was leaving. " Are you leaving already?" He asked with a surprised expression
When the mirror lowered, Ayase gasped in surprise when she saw no other than Sebastian Nascimento. What was he doing there? That was the first thought that crossed her mind. " It's been a long day. Do you need a lift?" He said with a stern grin. Ayase felt her blood boil as she remembered how their last encounter concluded. " No, thanks!" She politely refused his help but Sebastian wasn't going to give up so easily. He wasn't one to concede defeat. " Are you sure you want to wait here instead of coming with me?" It was 9p.m at the time and Ayase's bus wouldn't be coming until thirty minutes later. Not only that, but it was the fall season and the temperature outside was insane. Sebastian knew all that and took that to his advantage. " Yes, I'm sure! It's only thirty-minutes worth of waiting. If I wait for a little while, I won't turn into an iceberg." Besides, I'd rather wait than enter your car. I'll be fine, thank you!" " As you wish!" Sebastian left in disappointment. Ayase wai
At the SN Mansion, Cynthia wanted to understand why Ayato was so displeased by her. She needed to know that or else, she wouldn’t be able to win him over and of course, she would lose the challenge Sebastian gave her. “ Why don’t you like me, Ayato?” I don’t recall having done anything to upset you, have I?” Cynthia asked the latter hypothetically. Ayato responded coldly, “ You did nothing wrong, Miss.” “ Then?” “ I simply don’t like you, that is all.” Ayato gave a firm response before going back to his homework. Cynthia didn’t know what to think or do. Her challenge was becoming even more difficult than she initially thought it would. At the restaurant where Sebastian and Ayase were dining, things were also about to take a turn. “ What exactly was it you wanted to talk to me about, Mr. Nascimento?” Ayase asked as she drank a full glass of water. “ Ms. Nakamura, I asked you to meet with me about Ayato.” “ About Ayato!” Ayase gasped at the tone of the name. Why, him? Is he okay?
“ Ouch!”Two individuals bumped into each other from opposite sides. The girl bends down to pick up her phone which has fallen on the ground.The guy was quite handsome with an imposing demeanor. The girl was a beauty from the eyes with her flying long hair due to the strong wind which made it impossible for any of them to see clearly what the other looked like. The girl, however, was able to catch a glimpse of the guy.“ Watch where you’re going?” The guy goes past her, not even finding it important to apologize. The girl was extremely vexed by his rude behavior.“ How rude!” He could at least apologize for bumping into me.” The girl uttered in anger.“ Ayase, what are you doing on the ground?” A rather petite guy appeared before her. He’s her assistant and goes by the name Martin.The girl on the ground goes by the name of Ayase Nakamura, a professional photographer with long black hair and brown eyes. Her assistant, Martin was quite the catch as well with his semi-length brown hair
At the nearby restaurant, I was watching the little angel as he was eating. I didn't order anything for myself as I wasn't hungry. Martin didn't order anything either. After he had calmed down from the terrible experience he went through, he told me his name was Ayato. He didn't mention anything more than that." How's the food, Ayato?" Is it to your liking?" I asked him as he was eating with passion.Ayato is a boy with semi-short black hair with clear blue eyes. Judging by his behavior and appearance, I can predict that he's between six to seven years old." It's delicious." Thanks, beautiful lady!" He responded with a bright smile. He continued to eat and I kept watching him. Martin was just there, staring at both of us." Aren't you going to order anything, Martin?" I asked even though I knew he was probably not hungry because if he was, he would have ordered from the very start." I'm good, Ayase." Moreover, shouldn't you be the one to order something?" He cleverly pushed the que
The officer checked Ayato as I asked and besides the bruises which he had due to the tight grip caused by the true kidnappers, there was nothing else, not even injuries. Sebastian was glaring at me through it all." You're right, Miss! He has no injuries on him but that doesn't prove anything." The officer made his point but none of them understood where I was coming off with all my points. They were about to discover it as all the deductions had served their true purpose." You're right about that, officer but you'll understand everything in a moment." Before I reveal the undeniable truth to you all, there's a final test which I'd like all of you to see." My intention shifted to Ayato once again." Go on!"" Thanks for your collaboration!" I extended my hands as I invited Ayato to come to me. He looked at his father, asking for approval. Sebastian didn't seem to mind this time. I guessed that he also wanted to know the truth.Ayato came to me and I embarrassed him with the action of
After hanging up the call with his father, Sebastian went back to his pending work in progress. As hard as he tried to concentrate, he couldn't as his mind was constantly thinking of the recent events. Most importantly, he couldn't get Ayase out of his head for some reason. " What got you so pensive, president?" The familiar voice of his secretary got him back on track. He stared at him with a satisfied grin. " What?" Sebastian gasped, not understanding where the sudden grin was coming from. He crossed his arms, giving off an impressive demeanor. Chuckling slightly, he then said with humor, " You were thinking about her, weren't you?" " Who are you talking about?" Who should I be thinking of?" Sebastian played the denial card game. " Nevermind, president!" Don't forget we have a meeting in half an hour." The secretary heads off and meets eye to eye with Ayato Nascimento. " What are you doing here, young master?" Is there something you need?" " I'm here to fetch the president.
