“You’re early. I just started cooking dinner.”
“I don’t have anything else to do in the office. Gabriel also let me go early because he’s busy with Gene.”
“I hear jealousy.”
“God! I’m not jealous, Dianne!”
“Okay, if you say so,” she winked. “How did it go?” she asked while I was taking my shoes off. I looked at her blankly. “The thank giving.”
“Oh, that. I didn’t have a chance to do it,” I said. "I assume he knows how thankful I am.”
“Maybe,” she said and made her way back to the kitchen to continue her cooking.
“Okay,” I said simply and without gusto. “I’ll just change into something comfortable and come back to help you.”

“Good morning, Gabriel. You alright?” Miss Jean greeted when he came in.“I'm fine.”“You look so stressed. Anong nangyari? Nakatulog ka ba?”“I tried, but…”“But? What happened?”“Thank you, Miss Jean, but I think I’ll tell you when I know how to solve it. For now, I have to keep it to myself.”“You know I'm here for you, right?”“Yes, thank you.”---“Good morning,” I smiled at Gabriel and Miss Jean. I tried to walk past them.“Anna?” Miss Jean called.“Do you need anything, Miss?” I asked innocently.“Why are you always late?” she sounded strict.“I’m not late, Miss,” I looked at my wristwatch. “It’s only seven forty-five pa lang.”She looked disappointed. “Don’t you remember?

I hear the doorbell ring. I ignored it because Dianne’s downstairs and she ought to answer it. I’m in my room getting dressed. Gabriel invited me for a date and it’s obvious, I accepted his offer.“Hi,” he greeted Dianne when she opened the door. “Si Anna?” Bungad ni Gabriel kay Dianne.He’s wearing a simple black v-neck shirt, faded jeans, and a pair black of converse shoes. It’s simple yet appealing.Dianne smiled with a different meaning.“She’s still in her room,” she said. “Come in. I’ll let her know you’re here.”Dianne gave way for Gabriel to enter. She also motioned to the sofa to let him know he could sit while waiting. I heard her footsteps after a few seconds while I’m applying lipstick.“Will it take you longer, Cinderella?” she asked while peaking through the door. “Your prince charming is downstairs waiting fo

“Hey, sleepyhead,” Dianne hugged me, but I ignored her. “Breakfast is ready. It’s already seven-thirty, you're gonna be late.” “I'm not going to work,” I grumpily said. “Why? Is the Anderson Company a bad place to work?” “It’s fun. I think it’s me who‘s not okay in it,” I said with a shaky voice. “What do you mean?” “It’s nothing. Forget it. Maybe I’m being paranoid.” “Okay, but you should call your superior. Whoever it could be, just not Gabriel.” I nodded and buried myself under the sheets. I felt like crying and confused as hell – confused if I am still in love with Joshua or I'm falling for Gabriel? My tears landed on my pillows. Joshua’s gone. He won’t come back for me. I wouldn’t fall for Gabriel, I can’t fall for him, not if he’s my boss. --- “You kissed her?” wide-eyed Lance asked. Gabriel nodded while smiling. He’s touching his lips like he’s reminiscing the kiss he had with me.

“What kind of question is that, Dianne?” I asked, feeling kind of annoyed.“A stupid but significant question,” she said.My eyes were already welling up with tears, but I have to hold them. I promised that I wouldn’t cry after Joshua. I know what Dianne wanted to point out, but I couldn’t accept it.“You need to move on, Anna,” she suggested. “Not for me, not for Gabriel. You have to for yourself.”With that being said, I cried. I couldn’t hold my tears anymore. I hugged her in the hopes she could provide me with strength, but her strength isn’t my strength.---“Good morning, Miss Jean,” I greeted her.“It’s a good thing you came in today,” she replied. “Gabriel, Anna’s here,” she called out when she saw him.“Good,” he nodded. “Brief her on what’s happening today.”It&rs

I’m angry, but I can’t do anything. I’m just his secretary. I pushed aside my emotions when Don Miguel. I can deal with my emotions later.“So let’s start the meeting?” Don Miguel started. “Take notes, Miss…” he hesitated. “What’s your name again, Hija?”“I’m…” I started but didn’t finish.“She’s Anna Miller,” Gabriel answered for me and Miss Jean smiled at his gesture.“Okay, Miss Miller, take notes.”“Okay,” I smiled and readied the voice recorder in case I missed something important. I also have my old-fashioned notebook and pen but it’s a good thing I have a voice recorder.“I like you, Anna,” Don Miguel added.“Dad,” he called his Dad’s attention. “Stop flirting with my secretary in front of my Mom,” he emphasized the word my.

He parked under the tree like before. This is where she took him for the first date. If she could even call it a date. It was a shock that he remembered how to get there.“No! Why are we even here? We should get back to the office,” she demanded.He offered his hand for support to get out of the car.“Please,” he whispered. It almost sounded like a plea.“Okay,” she finally agreed, taking his hand.It’s one-thirty. They still had not eaten. She knows she’s hungry, but she didn’t want to ask Gabriel a favor. She’s angry and she had to stay angry. She sat on top of the car’s hood and Gabriel leaned behind it.“Why are we here?” she asked again.She looked up at the tree’s branches and laid on the hood. It was relaxing as the breeze blew against her skin. It was a magical feeling.“I just want to be with you.”She sat back up. &l

Alexandra was taken aback by Gabriel’s warning and foreshadowing. Her face turned pale, but in the end, she just laughed. “So, what’s the emergency? Lance told us Anna had an emergency and you went with her,” Alexandra looked alternately at them. “But it looks like there was never an emergency. Is there any happy emergency that I don’t know about?” “Why do you care, Alex?” Gabriel asked back. Alexandra was about to answer, but Don Miguel came rushing in. “There you are,” he said and hugged Anna. “Come on, Dad!” Gabriel exclaimed and Don Miguel let Anna go. ‘Sorry, Hijo,’ Don Miguel smiled. “Have you eaten? I’ll send you to the restaurant, if not.” “We’re fine, Sir,” Anna answered. “Don’t call me sir, Hija. Call me Tito instead, but it’s better if you call me dad. I’ll be happier if you're his wife,” Don Miguel said and looked at the blushing Gabriel. “No offense meant, Alex,” he added. “None was taken, Sir,” Alex emphasized what she called him. “You shouldn’t have said that,

“Bring her. Knowing Alex, I'm sure she’ll bring her new guy,” Lance whispered to Gabriel while pretending to pay attention to their parents.“As if it’s that easy to convince her.”“But I’m telling you, it’s better if you bring her.”“What if I bring Gene instead?”“You’re crazy, brother. She’ll assume you’re just messing with Anna. Would you like Anna to look like a fool?”“You're right. I’m sure it’ll be in the headlines. I could hear it now. ‘Jerk CEO made a fool out of a multi-billionaire businesswoman’.”“Right, and you don’t want that, right?”“Anna will kill me. That’s for sure.”“Praise the Lord! I hope Anna Hemsworth Miller would straighten your way.”Both of them laughed.---Anna answered her phone quickly when it rang to Clarity’s familiar tune.“Hi,” Gabriel said from the other line.“Hello. Do you miss me already?” she said playfully.“Maybe,” he said. “I think I’m going crazy for you.”“No,” she interrupted. “You’re just a natural crazy.”“You are one funny girl, Anna M

Dianne married Lance Anderson for two years. It would have been three, but they chose to wait a year because Lance didn’t have a best man. Lance didn’t want any other best man. He only wanted his brother, Gabriel. Dianne gave birth to a lovely daughter, who is three years old. It turned out she was pregnant before Anna went away.Dianne named her daughter Annie as a tribute to Anna, her best friend. Annie is just like Anna. In her early years, she’s been brave and carefree. She doesn’t like the smell of her mother’s tea but she’s addicted to the smell of her dad’s coffee. Surprisingly, Annie also likes cheese and grapes. She reminds Dianne so much of Anna.Dianne was five months away from her second baby with Lance. I’m thinking of naming him after Gabriel but she wasn’t sure if Lance would allow it.Gabriel thought he couldn’t make it without Anna, but turns out he could. He realized more people are willing to stay beside him, even in his darkest times. It’s a good thing he has Lance

“What are you doing?” Anna asked Joshua, who was following her.“I just want to talk to you.”“I don’t want to talk to anyone. Especially not you.”“Why? Are you that angry?”“You’re making me crazy. I don’t want that.”“I just want to explain.”Anna stopped and faced him. Her face was turning red from anger.“Explain? After all, that’s happened? How dare you? Do you think your explanation would change what’s already happened? After how I’ve felt, do you think I would believe you?”“I just want you to know why I left. You deserve to know.”“Well, you should have thought of that before you went AWOL. And what’s the point of that? Are you here to make me feel bad or do you just want me to forgive you?”Joshua did not react. Anna could see tears welling up and when a tear fell, he looked down as to not let Anna know how he was losing his faith.“If it makes a difference, I forgave you the moment you left.”“Then us alone – Alexandra and me.”Anna did not hold back when he slapped him.

“What do you think? Come out and let me have a look at it,” Dianne shouted and tried to wait, but in the end, she barged into the fitting room. Anna was startled but did not mind the company. “I like how it fits me,” she said while removing the creases. Dianne looked at her with teary eyes. “Look in the mirror,” she pulled Anna. “It looks good on you,” she added while Anna continued with what she was doing. Anna was in awe when she saw what gown she was wearing. “Dianne, this isn’t a bride’s maid dress,” she looked at Dianne. “I am not the bride. This is a wedding dress.” “I just wanted to see you wear a wedding dress. I might not be able to see you wear one soon, and that’s why.” “Dianne!” Anna protested along with another familiar voice outside the cubicle. Dianne quickly responded. “Honeyboo!” Dianne left me and run to greet Lance. Even at the distance, Anna could make out the silhouette of the man Lance was with. Anna wanted to walk away, but her feet seemed to have a life o

“Are you okay? What’s on your mind?” Dianne asked when she saw Anna staring blankly at her cup of coffee.“Nothing,” she answered.“Nothing? Daydreaming is one thing, but smiling while daydreaming is another,” Dianne pointed out.“Yes, this is nothing,” she denied and went up to get an apple from the fruit basket on the table.“Fine,” Dianne admitted her defeat.*** “It looks like your prince charming misses you,” Dianne pointed at Anna's cell phone. It was ringing to Gabriel's call.“Shut up!” Anna said mockingly while grabbing and answering the call.***“Hello?” Anna answered the call shyly.“Hi,” an unfamiliar woman’s voice came from the other line.Anna pulled the phone away from her ears and looked at the screen. She made sure it was Gabriel's number.“Hello?” she said again, hoping to hear Gabriel's voice.“Anna? Anna Miller?” asked the woman on the other line.“Yes. This is she.”“Gabriel asked me to tell you that you are fired. He said you don’t have to bother going to the o

“Shall we find another bar or shall we crash at my place?” Lance asked.“I think we should go to your place. So, Anna won’t complain of any smell,” Gabriel suggested, thinking he was funny.“You think you're funny, right?” Anna said, still feeling feisty after the scene in the bar. “Continue that and you'll regret having met me.”“But, of course, I’m just kidding,” he hugged Anna from behind and she wasn’t sure if Gabriel's turned on or he was hot from alcohol. She could feel his warmth amidst the cold air.Their laughs echoed in the almost empty parking area. This night, they are just normal people having fun. Who would think they are a CEO, a sibling of a CEO, a multi-billionaire businesswoman, and a friend of a multi-billionaire businesswoman? Who would think they are all connected while should usually be fighting over power and other company issues? No one!***Anna was impressed when they arrived at Lance’s condo unit. It looked stunning in its black and white interiors and furni

“Congratulations, Dianne!” Anna hugged her. “I’m excited for you!”Anna looked at Gabriel who was smiling from ear to ear and also looking at her.“Good job, Dude! I’m happy for you,” he said, averting his eyes from Anna.“Kuya, I’ll be first this time.”“Don’t worry, Kid. I’m not too far behind,” he smiled and looked at Anna.Don Miguel cleared his throat to get everyone’s attention. “Let’s enjoy the night people. Hit it, DJ!”***Anna and Gabriel went out. The party’s getting a bit noisy for them. Old people went home to rest, leaving the party to younger people. The speakers blasted electric music, almost blowing them out“I envy them,” Gabriel said.“Why do you envy them? Once upon a time, you’ve also been married.”“So, you’re the one who should envy them.”“Me? Why me? I’m perfectly fine. That’s why I’m still single. Why should I envy them?”“What?”She knew he'd react.“You heard me right, Mister Gabriel Anderson. Besides, I don’t have anyone courting me, so, I don’t have any b

“Okay, that was unexpected,” Don Miguel smirked. “Let it be a reminder to those social climbers, gold diggers, and cheaters. You might have met your karma already. You wouldn’t know when they’ll strike.”Everyone laughed, except Alexandra, Madamé Rebecca, and Joshua.“Don’t leave yet, I still have my announcement,” Don Miguel added when he saw Alexandra leaving.“It has been twenty-six years since I started the Anderson Group of Companies, and I think it’s about time I give my throne to someone worth my trust. To someone who also worked hard for the company. It’s time for him to take over. Gabriel, son, prove me that I'm doing the right thing. And if you want to ask why not Lance? It’s because he has a different announcement. For now, I'm calling Gabriel for an impromptu speech. Gabriel?”“Wow! I don’t know what to say,” he looked at Don Miguel who just exited the stage. “Thanks, Dad. I’ll make you proud dad. You would not regret giving me your throne, but honestly, Dad, this is terri

Everyone in the room made a fuss. She didn’t hear but she knew they were judging her.“It was him, the man of my dreams. Unbelievable, isn’t it? Anna Hemsworth Miller had a love life even though she wanted a private life, but you heard me right. I met the man of my dreams in that blogging team. He was kind and sweet. He was caring and thoughtful. He does not pretend to be anything that he’s not. He was just a humble blogger waiting for the right time to shine. And what brought me closer to him? He was not rich.”Everyone went quiet, even Dianne and the Anderson Family. Joshua, however, was sweating like a pig.“Yes. Once upon a time, I fell in love. I loved someone who was not rich. I know you’re wondering why I’m saying this, but this is just to prove that I was not a gold digger or a social climber to get to where I am. My family belonged to the lower class, but we were lucky enough to afford three meals a day. I was attracted to that guy because he understands me and because I thou

In Anna’s eyes, everything slowed down – the music and the people dancing. Even Alexandra was in slow motion. Anna could see Alexandra talking, but she could not make any sense of it. Gabriel was calling me and pulling me away. Dianne was crying and Lance was comforting her. All of a sudden, it was only her and Joshua left in the ballroom.“Anna?” Joshua said softly.“I thought you’re…” she said – voice breaking. “I thought you were dead.”Everything became blurry. Her eyes welled with tears. She’s confused and wanted to run. She’ll leave everyone and everything. She thought she was invincible. She made it through four years of her life without him. She was successful without him. She could not understand why she was feeling weak.“Anna…” Joshua said, almost out of breath. “I’m sorry. Let me explain.”He was trying to touch her, but she moved away. Joshua continued to try, but Gabriel push his hand away.Gabriel looked at Anna. He’s now her knight in shining armor.
