ALEX’S POV
"Bryan? You are Mr. Lee of SK Telecom?"
He smirked. "The one and only."
Oh my! I didn’t expect this thing to happen. I didn’t think that Bryan’s surname is Lee, plus their family business main office is in Korea, so that he may be ‘Mr. Lee’ of SK Telecom?! Stupid Alex!
He grins. “Are you okay, Ms. Ramirez?”
I tried to calm myself first before I turn to him and speak.
“Yes, I’m okay, Mr. Lee thanks for asking. Anyway, thanks for coming here. We are thrilled that finally, we have this opportunity to show you our b
ALEX’S POV Our product launch that was held last week was successful. That is why we are so busy cascading all our plans to all our accounts. Next week the stocks for our new units of Sapphire will arrive. So we need to gather all pre-order units and see if we have enough stocks that will come, and we can order for the next batch. "Janet, what's the status of SK Telecom?" I asked her. Janet looks a bit down. “Ma’am, unfortunately, Mr. Lee is still busy, so he is not available for a meeting.”“Really? Did you ask if he can give you even just 1 hour to meet? Even dinner
ALEX’S POVThis is my first time to be in Bryan’s office. His office is too big, and it seems to be 3x the size of my office. His office is simple but elegant, looking like a VIP suite in a five-star hotel.I saw Bryan seriously reading documents at his office table. He looks so cool. He seems like a different person now compared to what I am used to seeing him. 'A different side of Bryan.' I told myself. “Mr. Lee, Ms. Ramirez, and her team are already here." His assistant informed him. And it was only then that Bryan noticed our presence. Slowly he lifted his face towards our dire
ALEX’S POVI am now in Liz's office to report to her what happened at our meeting with SK Telecom yesterday."Great news, Alex! It is a good thing that Bryan is now the new CEO of SK Telecom!” Liz said. I raised my brow. I don't think I can accept what Liz had said. It seems like it is only because of Bryan that we were able to close the deal and not because of the brand and skills of R2 Corp.“Excuse me, sis, but even if Bryan is not the CEO of SK Telecom, we can still close that deal.” I hissed. She chuckled. "Oops, sis, sorry, I didn't mean that way."I ju
ALEX’S POVI am here at the restaurant where Liz and Gian are having lunch. And bingo! I already saw them.I went to them as if I did not know they were there. I was close to their table. "Liz?" I act as if I got shocked from seeing them. Liz furrowed. "Alex! What are you doing here?""Lunch? Isn’t it obvious?" I said in a sarcastic tone.Liz's eyes narrowed at the same time, raising her left eyebrow. She seems to know why I am here.
BRYAN’S POV "Are you dating someone?"We were all shocked by Alex's question to Gian. Alex doesn't want us to notice that she likes Gian. Note on the sarcasm. What did she like about him, though? I thought she doesn’t like a playboy? Wait, did she mentioned that she didn't want a playboy?“Wait for a minute, baby girl, your question is a bit personal.” I tried to stop her."Shut up, grandpa! I'm talking to Gian." She hissed.What the?! And I am getting mor
ALEX’S POVIt's been a week since we had lunch. And since that lunch, I never heard about Bryan. He did not text me or call me or even ask me about work. 'Wait, why am I sad? Isn't that what I want? ' I asked myself'Do you really want to?' suddenly, my other brain said. I sighed. It's funny. I knew I should be happy because I don’t need to exert an effort just to avoid him since he stops bugging me. Suddenly something seemed to pierce my heart.I mi
ALEX’S POVAfter my conversation with Bryan, we never talked again.I hate him, and I also hate Gian! Who do they think they are to play with my best friend’s feelings? Even if they have good intentions but they are still wrong because, in the end, I know my best friend will still be hurt.Even if I wanted Liz to move on from Bryan for me to have an excuse to let myself fall for him, I will still not choose to betray my best friend. What if my best friend fall for that guy, then that guy didn’t have any feelings for her?! For sure, my best friend will be hur
ALEX’S POV"Janet, I won't be in the office today. But I still need to see the report for Q4. Send it to me before lunch." I instructed Janet. ‘Copy, Ma'am.’"Okay. Suppose you guys have any concerns, just text or email me. No phone calls." I added.‘Copy Ma'am’"Okay, Bye."‘Bye, Ma'am.’I hang up after my few instructions with Janet.
BRYAN’S POV Finally, in an hour or two, my baby girl will be Mrs. Alexandria Lee. I just heard her name from Liz, and then I was curious about her. I became even more interested when Liz introduced her to me before. I find her beautiful, and I like her sense of humor. Back then, I thought I was just happy with her because I was an only child and longing for a little sister, which I thought I had found in her. That's why even if I don't like to text and call; I started doing it because of her. I was even happier and more excited to see and talk to her than my girlfriend, Liz. Then one day, I just saw myself falling for her and regretted that I am already taken, and my girlfriend was her best friend, so it was difficult for me to break up with Liz because I am afraid that I would lose her. I tried to avoid her for the sake of us three. I knew I was falling in love with her at that time. But when I tried to avoid her, I just find myself missing her more and falling deeply with her
ALEX’S POV Finally, after all that happened, Bryan and I are getting married.Previously my only wish was to find someone like Bryan, but now he is the one the Lord gave me. Of course, I was embarrassed to wish it to be Bryan because he was my best friend’s boyfriend at that time.Flashback"Bryan? As in Bryan Lee, the Korean businessman? Oh my! you're so lucky, sis!" I was thrilled when Liz told me that Bryan was courting her.I had a crush on that guy. I am attracted to Korean because I love watching Korean drama, and I love their food. That’s why even my taste in a guy is somehow influenced by my love for
BRYAN’S POV It's hard to accept that even though I am the one Alex likes but it still not enough for her to choose me. I don’t know if I made the right decision, but I need to take a risk.Adelle is a childhood friend. She doesn’t know how to fix herself; that's why everyone sees her as an ugly duckling.At an early young age, she needs to wear glasses because she got an eye problem from reading books. She has a geeky side. But she still knows how to have fun.But someone hurt her that triggers her to leave the country. She was badly hurt even though it seems so shallow because its just puppy love.
ALEX’S POV I have already made up my mind. I need to win Bryan back. I couldn't bear to lose him. These nonsense excuses are enough for me.I want to be happy. I know I will be happy with Nic, but I want to be fully happy, and I know I will only experience that if I choose Bryan.I don’t also want to be unfair to Nic. She deserves someone better.Nic is with me now. We invited our parents to tell them that we will not push through the marriage. Nic, assure me that he is with me. He will help me convince both parties that this is the right decision, and Nic and I deserve it."Mom, Dad..." I started my speech.
ALEX’S POV"Hubby!" Someone called Bryan.I looked at the girl who called him. She ran and went to Bryan. Wait, did she just call him hubby? HUBBY AS IN HUSBAND??? "Hubby, I miss you!" The girl said excitedly while she was hugging Bryan.I am waiting for his reaction. He seems so shocked by that girl’s presence. But he quickly recovers from his shock.He hugged her back. I suddenly felt hurt from seeing him hugging oth
ALEX’S POVAfter our conversation last night, Bryan became so cold. It's so obvious that he is avoiding me. I think that he has already given up.I know I should be happy because Bryan followed what I wanted. But why did it seem more complicated and more painful when he did what I wanted? I'm confused. I want to approach him, talk to him... But what can I say? That he continues to rely on nothing?‘Is it really nothing?’ I asked myself.Why is my situation so tricky. Ca
ALEX’S POV I don't want to admit it, but I'm grateful that I went with them here. This place is so peaceful. It's a good stress reliever.I was surprised when someone handed me an orange juice. I looked at him to see who it was. "Bryan.""Enjoying yourself?" He said sweetly. "Yes." I just said."I miss you calling me grandpa." He confessed.I chuckled. "Really? I thought you don’t want me to call you that because
ALEX’S POVBryan invited me to come with him to his private resort in Mindoro.I was hesitant to go with them, but when I found out that Liz will also be coming with none other than Gian, I decided to go with him."You will not join us?" I asked Nic.Yes, I am planning to bring Nic on the said vacation. I already asked Bryan about this, and he agreed. The thing is, Nic can’t make it."I love to, but I can’t. My movie project will start soon; I will be very busy.” Nic said."Oh, I see. Should I not go with them? I’ll help you with y
ALEX’S POV ‘Tulips for my baby girl.’ I smiled as I read the card on the bouquet of tulips Bryan had given me. "Wow, Ma'am, Sir Nic is so sweet." My secretary Paula said. She was the one who always handed me bouquets from Bryan. I just smiled at her. I also did not tell her that it was from Bryan and not from Nic. I entered my office holding the bouquet of tulips. Even if Bryan doesn't say or put his name on the card, I know it came from him.
