Riele nodded. Charlotte went to the office leaving Riele with Jay. Immediately after she left, Jay left Riele's hand."Isn't there anything I can help you with?". Riele asked politely.Jay stared at her for a while before replying. "Yes... actually, I need your help".Riele didn't want to seem rude because he was cute and he's the model her boss volunteered.

Jay led Riele into one of the coffee shops. He was so protective of her to the point that Riele started to think maybe they were on a date. "This isn't a date". Jay said before waving his hands to the waitress. Riele scoffed. "I never thought it was". She lied. "Really?" Jay asked staring at her in doubt. "'Cos it's written all over your face if you ask me". "Hello. It's nice to have you both here today. What would you like to have?". The waitress asked with a broad smile on her face. "I need something cold". Jay looked at the book menu. "What do you suggest?" "We'll like two ice americano please". Riele smiled at the waitress who nodded with a smile before leaving. "Why americano?" Jay asked. "You asked for something cold, well that has ice in it, that's why it's called ice americano, just the drink you need." Riele explained.

About what?"Riele remembered that they didn't even talk about the modeling stuff anymore. "um... about... um...". Charlotte was glaring at her friend with folded arms waiting for the lies to just leave Riele's mouth. "...He asked me to tutor him about modeling".Charlotte looked at her friend trying to see if she was lying but Riele kept a straight face. So she believed her because she could tell when she was lying."Why didn't you pick up my call then?". She asked."I didn't know my phone rang. It was on silent". Riele explained."Do you know how worried I was? I thought something bad had happened to you or Maybe Jay kidnapped you and di

Ignoring him, Jay went to his room but Kim followed after him."Where have you been?"."Out". He replied bluntly."To where and with whom?". Jay was confused."Since when do you become so engrossed in my life; what I do and where I go?" Jay asked."You went out with Riele, didn't you?""Are you interrogating me right now?".

Kim arrived at the company the following day but was surprised when his assistant, Charlotte didn't attend to him. He went to her desk and he saw Riele busy with her laptop. "Where is Charlotte?" He asked."She isn't feeling too well, so she decided to take the day off.""Why didn't she tell me that?""She did but you refused.""No, she told me she needs a day off and when I asked why she didn't reply.""I don't blame her if she didn't tell you.""Excuse me."Riele gave him a fake smile and said, "If there is anything you'd like me to help you with, don't hesitate to ask me."Kim ignored her and left.

The site was decorated with flowers and balloons, it looked like a wedding ceremony just that the couples weren't dressed in their wedding attires. They wore a touch of red and white dresses making it look like it was valentine's day. Riele couldn't deny that Jay and Madison looked good together. She didn't understand why Madison would be interested in getting Kim when Jay was right there in front of her. She figured that she was spending more time thinking than focusing so she cleared her head and focused more on the shoot. "The next pose, I want you guys to look at each other and pretend like you want to kiss each other." The photographer directed. Jay glanced a little at Riele and when she caught sight of him, she wondered why he was glancing at her. "Jay, I need you to concentrate, look at your partner and try to kiss her." It's just a pretending kiss, it's not like you are even going to kiss her. Jay said to himself as he did the pose and when the photographer took the picture

She greeted Madison but ignored Utter. “Hi, Maddy,” she greeted with a smile. “Shouldn’t you be at work?” “I was fired.” “What?” She nodded and went on to tell what happened, but she hid the part where she slapped Riele. “I pleaded with him to forgive me, but he was adamant,” she shrugged. “I don’t think that makes any sense.” Charlotte thought about the whole scenario, but they didn’t make any sense to her. “Why would Kim behave so irrationally?” Madison shrugged. “I see you are doing pretty well.” She smiled and nodded. “Yes, I am.” “Who’s the father?” Madison asked, without a second thought. “Um…” she bit her lips and glanced at Utter, who was waiting for her response. “Is your child a bastard?” Madison whispered. “No, he is not.

He lifted her chin so she could look at him.“I love you, Riele. I know we started on the wrong foot, but believe me, it made me realize that I love you.”“Kim…I can’t…” he placed his index finger on her lips, shushing her.Riele had no choice, but to remain silent and listen to his confession.“Give me a chance, that’s all I am asking for.”“Kim…”“Don’t turn me down without knowing my true intentions, Riele.”“I…”“Do you love me?”“I…” She bowed her head. She didn’t want him to see her tearing up, but he did before she could hide it.He lifted her chin and saw her teardrops.

Do you feel fine?”Jay entered the room where Kim was and sat on the bed. “Does that mean I will see you tomorrow?”After a few seconds, he looked at Kim who was looking at him back before looking away. “I am sure he wouldn’t mind.”No one needed to tell Kim who Jay was on the phone with.

Riele was running so she could get to the hospital in time. She had no idea why she didn't board a taxi instead of running. She was happy and a great joy filled her heart as she thought about the text she received from the doctor. Her thought was disturbed by the continuous beeping of a car. She was getting irritated because she felt the beeping was directed toward but she was on the sidewalk and not the road, so why the beeping? She asked herself and then she turned only to find a Rolls-Royce Phantom driving in her direction and the moment she stopped, the car stopped and the driver rolled down the window and she saw it was her boss. She was shocked that all she could do was stare at him in bewilderment. Why was he here? Questions that couldn't be answered just by asking herself were raging in her mind.
