After a few days.Dorian and Lily Rose went together at Metropolitan Broadcasting System to do Make-Up and Styling Services for their artists for a television variety show.This is also Dorian's plan to teach Lily Rose the "know-hows" of Make-Up and Styling, in preparation for her upcoming Entrance Exam at the Make-Up Institute..."Miss Angelique, your show will start in ten minutes." one of the TV Station Assistant informed one of the artists.Dorian snapped his head up when he heard that familiar voice. It was the same sweet voice that made his heart flutter many years ago, and it was also the same voice that left his heart broken.He saw Francine standing at the doorway, staring back at him with the same shocked look on her face...At the same time, Lily Rose glances at Dorian and the woman standing at the doorway. They had the same shocked look on their faces as they looked at each other.The awkward moment suddenly came into a halt when Anqelique Boyer, one of the host at the va
"What are you doing here? Wait, did you want to see Boss Dorian? I'm sorry, but he didn't come at work today." Lily Rose informed him."Oh, I see. He doesn't any of my calls so I tried my luck and drove her to talk to him. Well, maybe he's just overwhelmed after meeting Francine again..." Astley relayed."Yes... I was actually wondering why he suddenly changed after what happened yesterday." Lily Rose wondered aloud."That's a long story, Lily Rose. Maybe it's better we eat dinner first and I'll tell you the whole story." Astley suggested.Lily Rose immediately said yes. She's really dying to know what really happened between her Boss and his ex-girlfriend, Francine...================================At an Italian Restaurant..."Dorian and Francine were already campus sweethearts back at the University. The three of us studied Mass Communication, and we were inseperable at that time. We all thought that they would end up together in the end, especially since Dorian had a plan to prop
"You finally answered my call, Dorian! Are you okay? Are you still upset with me?" Astley asked from the other line."I'm so sorry, man. I was blinded by anger and resentment so I became judgmental. But Sofia told me the whole truth. I was able to have a heart-to-heart talk with her few days ago." Dorian explained."That's good! So, what really happened?" Astley asked again.Dorian recounted the full details on why Francine suddenly disappeared many years ago..."Well, we can't blame Francine for what she did. So, what's the status of your relationship now?" Astley inquired."I love her as a friend. And I clearly explained to her how I really feel. We ended our talk in a good way." Dorian explained more."Tell me more about it when I get back to city." Astley replied."Wait, where are you now?" Dorian curiously asked."I'm at Lily Rose's hometown. We went on a road trip, and we're having a good time." Astley chirped."What? Wait ---!" Dorian tries to protest, but his friend quickly cu
*FLASHBACK.*Lily Rose just finished her "just-another-day" session at The Make-Up Institure. She's happy because she was able to learn so many things that could help her in the future, however, she feels like her brain has been overloaded with too much information. She feels hungry and tired. She's planning to take out some big slices of pizza for her dinner tonight, then afterwards, she'll hit the shower, hit the sack, and call it a day.It's freezing cold in New York City, as soon as December arrives. Lily Rose feels lonely because she's all alone in the city that never sleeps, and she terribly misses her family, friends, and most especially, her boyfriend, Dorian. It's been a year since she last saw him, and they've just been meeting through videocalls.She kept on telling herself that she should persevere and to be more patient to make her dream come true... Dorian has always been her number one supporter, always cheering her up in their videocalls.Lily Rose let's out a deep bre
"Oh my gosh! Is that really you, Lily Rose?" Madison screamed, while looking so excited.Lily Rose smiled at her girl best friends."Yes, girl! I'm finally back!" she said."We're so glad your finally back, girlfriend!" one of her friends, Mary Dale, welcomes here as well."And we all know what happened back in New York, girl! You're finally getting married to the man of your dreams! Congratulations!" Madison congratulated her, while looking thrilled."And this calls for a celebration! Are you free tonight? Let's have a welcome back party for you!" Mary Dale suddenly suggested."---I'm sorry, girls, but Lily Rose and I already made plans for tonight. Maybe next time?" Dorian suddenly joins in their conversation."I'm really sorry, guys. But don't worry, we'll have our own party, and we're going to have a blast!" Lily Rose reassures her friends."Oh, that's alright. Go ahead lovebirds." Madison nodded, while giving them a playful wink.Dorian and Lily Rose chuckles in return, and then
"Our advise really doesn't matter, Lily Rose. We're not the ones who's getting married... It's you." Madison frankly stated."--But what do you really want to do? Do you want to postpone the wedding for another two years for you to continue working with the Make Up Institute?" Mary Dale suddenly asked."--Or do you want to forget about that job opportunity at the Make-Up Institute and be a full-time Mrs. Dorian Esquivel?" Madison asked more question."I really don't have any idea, girls. If I could, I want to do both." Lily Rose sadly said, while shaking her head."I think the right thing to do is to talk to your fiancé about it. You need to sort out this problem, since you're going to be married soon, and whatever decisions you might have, it will affect both of you." Mary Dale seriously commented."You're right. I just need to find the perfect timing to talk to Dorian. He's been talking about the wedding for the passed few days." Lily Rose lets out a sigh."Do it as soon as possible
Dorian was obviously surprised when he saw her. But he missed this woman so much that he wanted to hug her tightly and never let her go... If she still wants to have him..."Lily Rose? What are you doing here? I thought Astley's going to be here?" he curiously asked her. "I'm so sorry, but I asked him a favor. I really wanted to meet you and talk to you." Lily Rose answered.They both took a seat.Lily Rose took the opportunity to speak first."Oh, Dorian. I'm so sorry for saying those hurtful words to you. My pride has gotten into me, but that doesn't mean that I don't love you anymore .." she apologized, while looking at him with so much love in her eyes.Dorian shook his head in return."No, you're right. I've become a selfish person and I'm only thinking about myself... Before being my fiancée, you're an independent, career-driven woman who wants to make her dream come true. And that's the reason why I fell in love with you. And I'm still the same man who's hopelessly and helples
"Look, you graduated on top of our class. You're the smartest person that I know, and I really want to make it up to you for helping me back in high school... So, I was thinking---would you like to become my secretary in our company?" Jordielyn's eyes widened, after hearing Astley's business proposal."So... What do you think?" Astley asked again.Jordielyn's lips curved into a smile, and her eyes sparkled with excitement."Yes, I'm willing to work as your secretary and try my best to forget about my past life..." she agreed, without thinking twice."I think you've made a right decision, Jordielyn." Astley excitedly said, as he extended his hand towards Jordielyn for a handshake.Jordielyn accepted Astley's handshake."I look forward to be working with you." she excitedly responded.====================At the Metro Broadcasting Company's Office.Astley is currently at a meeting with his subordinates. "Alright, we can finally conclude today's meeting... But before we can finally end
