Dream High, Reach the sky.
Remember the sky has no limits, after all this story is about reaching an almost impossible goal hahaha!

I'd want to relay an important lesson to you guys, I hope you'd be patient to read it 'till the end!
Nice to meet you~

Three months ago... Corporate gathering... celebration. Formal elegant dresses. Wines and extravagant red carpet, a walkthrough the stage of honor. There you'll see the shining diamonds hanging from the ceiling just above the center of attention... me. "Congratulations, Miss Allegre! You look stunning in your dress," the host greeted me with a smile in which I fired back. "Thank you, this dress is nothing compared to your businessman suit. Though,I think I'll prefer you in a dress too."
"We've been talking to each other, but I don't know your name yet." He said. Oh really? I thought he knew since I was called on the stage earlier. "Forgive me, I thought you knew." I even laughed a bit, "it's Karina." He smiled, "Karina...what a beautiful name." The way his compliment was delivered was smooth. I can't help but smile, this guy is gentle and walking chivalry. He's a respected supervisor in one of GoodNet's sister companies. He works as a columnist before but yeah, he got promoted tonight too. "Thank you."
"I'm here, baby."Not only the bodyguard and the bubbly girl in pink dress turned. I also turned around to check if the guy who called the pretty kid in pink ball dress was really her father.Now, I doubt it.This man is far from a twenty-nine year old man. I'm not sure if he's really her father because first of all, I don't care. I don't care how old were this girl's father was. I just got curious since her daughter gave an, I think, wrong age for this man.If I'm going to guess his age, he's probably pass as this girl's grandfather. He's, I think, in his fifties but in fairness, he looked dashing, still.Traces of being a gorgeous man in his early years were brought and branded in his features today too.Does he have an older son? At least older than me? Hehehe.What? He's handsome, I'll bet if he had a son, he's dashing too. Psh!Why is there so much handsome people tonigh
"Who were they?"A voice from behind me asked. It was Natan. Only now, I realised. I had a great time talking to that man.It felt like I talked to my father once again, even just for a split moment of tonight. Though, I'm thankful I was able to converse with him or her daughter sanely.Remember, I got bad control over alcohol? I drank one shot earlier when I tried to taste how Natan's whiskey taste like. So, my vision is a bit blurry but I think I can still manage.I'm not dizzy or whatever yet. I hope, I won't."A kid got lost. I talked to her father. They were nice," I answered.I remembered how nice and warm interacting with that man is. It's like I'm talking to an older version of my father if ever he was able to live up to today. Well, that's because my dad was only forty-four when he left me without any notice.Well, common sense, how will he send me a notice if he wasn't even informed that he was dying,
Last night didn't end well. I met a poisonous guy, his name was Natan. I even thought he'd be good as my partner later in life, but thank god. Waters mirrored his true self, he's a fucking con.He's a super-fucking-visor but he talked to me so disgustingly. People with that kind of attitude shouldn't even have a job. How dare he talk rubbish of me? His mind is so polluted, not so good to be mine.If someone will ask him of me, I'll give him on the spot! I won't hesitate. Those kind of trashes belong in dump sites. Not in extravagant parties like last night."Really? He did that? How shameless!"I told Sheena everything that happened last night and same as I, she didn't like how things went but Shee being herself, she loved the ending. The part where I threatened to expose him of his shits, she loved it."Yeah, but don't worry. I don't do threats. I only leave warnings," I winked at her before pressing my keyboard key with cl
That's how stalking Allistair started. Well, actually part of this scheme is Sheena's idea. Most of it are from my creative yet psycho-like whirlwind mind.After sealing the deal, I left Sheena with no choice. She humiliated one of her precious boyfriends and so I got to keep my end of the bargain. Which is to expose this man across my seat, eating breakfast after saving me.I'm sure he'll regret not leaving me in cold last night. Only if he knew about the plans I kept under my sleeves. He'll regret letting a spy and double-sided agent sleep in his bed.More on, he'll regret giving his phone to me.I started stalking him the next day. I realised that Sheena hated stalking this man because he's adventurous. I mean, he goes from one far province to one another. Also, based on my observation, he's not thereach outtype of guy.He really just helps people because he sees them as assets. Assets that can spread
"Are you sure about this, Sheena?"I asked her. Well, we're a click away from shaming one of her exes. Which she have never done before.Sheena's ex, Nyx, will be all over the news tonight. I don't think Sheena's good with it, but I think she has no plans in taking any decision back. So, she's willing to humiliate one man for one man, huh?Are we doing parallel decisions here now?"Well, you're leaving me with no choices, you merciless witch," she stuck her lips to pout.Honestly, she looked like a goose. I want to cook her. Well, I want to say I'm kidding but then I wasn't.Am I merciless? What the hell. She's the vicious one among the two of us. How dare her accuse me!"Is it me who wanted to swap? I told you, I don't need any help as of the moment. What should I do, huh?" I asked her. Trying to play mind games and trick her."W-Well, yeah. Come to think of it! You actually never needed any

They were ambushed. It's been a week since the day that Claude told me about it. Five days to be exact but until now, I can't still seem to move on. I mean, how can he be so calm and call it a random car accident? Ambush means it's either they want Allistair's team dead or stalled. When I said stalled, I'm referring to the fact that they were on their way to the project. Most of the ambushes were done whenever the target is going home or doing some not-business-related vacations. I don't know but if I were to base things on the articles that I've written or movies that I've watched before, that's my conclusion. That's just a wild guess though, because aside from the fact that I will never be able to experience that—not that I want it to experience getting ambushed by some random people who have grudge against me— because I'm not rich; There's still this suspicion inside me that wants to be noticed. I don't want it to be acknowledge
Nyx left and yeah, Claude treated me to the nearest fast food using the ducati that Nyx drove to us. He actually wanted to bring me to a fancy restaurant located in the next town but I stopped him. I reasoned that I’m already hungry and that I can’t go further anymore. Hello? That fancy restaurant that he wanted to go to is unbelievably expensive. How did I say so? Well, aside from the fact that the cheapest food there is the same price as my one day salary, what can I add? You get what I mean? I don’t want to be treated in those kinds of restaurants. It
“Pfft. Are you high?”I urged a laugh. Though when I realised that I was the only one who’s laughing, I stopped. “Tsk! Are you hungry?” He discarded my mockery and asked instead. We’ve been walking for a while already and I left the house early, no breakfast. It’s almost lunch time but I think the next town is still a bit far.“Quite. I didn’t have breakfast. Well, maybe?” I shrugged my shoulders.
I was thrown out of the ride. Sadly, I was thrown out by the conductor alone after the driver yelled at me. Somehow, I’m thankful that I wore rubber shoes instead of the sandals I wanted to wear today. This helped me at least console myself. It helped me to lessen the pain in my feet because I’m going to walk from here to the nearest villa for sure. After all, there’s no public vehicle that stops in the middle of the road to pick up a passenger. Why? Because it
Claude Verganza is staring at me. He is clinging to the bar just above the entrance of the jeepney. Where I’m supposed to be on earlier if he didn’t take on my position for me. I moved my eyebrows up, and widened my eyes a bit to ask him what? In gestures. It seemed to me that he didn’t understand what I was trying to say to him because his forehead crumpled. So, I moved a bit to bend and mouthed the same word again.
I was really shocked that he offered that kind of offer to me. My conscience was triggered, you know what I mean? It’s like I can recall all the lies that I’ve told him. I can say that none of them will do him good somehow even though I’ll tell him the opposite, I know it’s going to be a lie. After all, none of these, everything that I’m doing now, is going to benefit him. It can even ruin his image publicly, I know what I’m saying because from the very start, the plan was to seek his most hidden flaw. His hidden imperfection behind that famous and successful bachelor facade. I, myse
Hi, hun!How are ya? Doing good? How's the story going on? Did you know that I'm supposed to upload my 21st chapter after the 20th?

Love ya!-Mimi.
"Yes," he forwarded his head a bit. "I'm wondering why were you shy about this face, your eyes seemed beautiful to me though."Heh?He couldn't see anything aside from my eyes because I made sure of it. I don't want to take the risk of showing my face to him and he might get familiar with me.Though contrary to that, I can fully describe his face features from my position.His clean cut black hair, green eyes that are surrounded with long eyelashes. Greek nose that is looking just perfect above his soft half heart lips. In addition, his soft stubles did look complimentary to his face.To be honest, I never liked a man who has face hairs, I mean, I know some famous celebrities are looking hot with their full-grown beard or what. I just didn't appreciate facial hairs that much before.I think I'm about to adore this man's beard. His long stubbles were well-trimmed and never once did they look dirty in my eyes. I mean, l
Hey! Spell awkward honey! Spell it!Aside from the awkward atmosphere, it's also embarassing. Gosh!His hands are enveloping my waist and I'm sitting on his lap. People are looking at me strangely like I'm some sort of alien from other dimension.Well, If I'm going to put myself in their shoes, I'll be stunned too. Even If I didn't heck, me being me feels so hard now! Stunned as in like I was burned or something.His hands on my waist didn't help me to ignore the fact that hey, I'm here for work. Not to flirt or anything.This is the very first time ever that someone got to me this close. I'm referring to men, no man have been this close to me. Not even touch my waist, I'm a mary, or so I think I am.I value my experiences as a woman, because I want to preserve myself for the righteous man who deserves me likeClaude.Sadly, that that phase of my life is done beca
