The following morning, the loud banging on the door could bee heard but none of the sisters were ready to get up yet. 

"I'm unemployed and this is the best sleep I've gotten in years. No way in hell am I getting up" Mira muttered turning around in her bed and placing a pillow over her head. 

Mirabel descended down from her room upstairs and walked into Mira's room slowly tapping her. "Mira"

"Get lost" Mira grumbled sleepily. 

"Go and answer the door"

Mira removed the pillow from her head. "Are you kidding me? You came all the way downstairs from your room, why couldn't you do it instead?"

"I have a date soon"

Mira grumbled before standing up from her bed and walking towards the door. She turned on the knob. "Who is-"

She gasped as she slammed the door close. 

"What is this? Why is Kyle outside my door?" She pinched herself to confirm if she was dreaming but she wasn't. 

Mira tugged at her hair. " I can't believe I opened the door looking like this". Kyle knocked on the door once more. 

"Mira, the door" Mirabel grumbled from within her room. 

Mira opened the door. "What is it? what do you want?" She asked eager to chase Kyle away. 

"I want to have a word with you-" Kyle was cut off by a dragging footsteps heading towards them. 

"Mira who is by the door" Mirabel asked but she was surprised to see that Mira wasn't by the door. 

Mira had taken Kyle's hand and hid behind the house. 

This gesture made him remember that rainy day 10 years ago. Where Mira had promised to protect him from people who would body shame him. 

Kyle stared at Mira. When she noticed that her sister had gone back inside, Mira sighed in relief as she faced kyle. "Now, can you please leav-"

"I apologize" Kyle said cutting her off. "Please come back to the office."

Mira blinked her eyes rapidly as she couldn't believe what she'd just heard. "No, I'm not coming back. Coming back to work as a cleaner isn't so appealing, sir"

"You'll get to do your normal work at the marketing department, I promise you"

Mira couldn't control her heartbeat. He was saying all these because he think she's her sister. 

She shouldn't be deceived. 

"Mira, are you out there?" Mirabel called from inside. 

"Okay, I'll be there tomorrow so now please go" Mira hastily pushed Kyle as she headed back inside. 

"Mira, I've been looking for you everywhere" Mirabel said. 

"You couldn't stand up to open the door but yet you were looking for me everywhere?"

Mirabel smiled. "Your got me. I heard a male voice around, who was it?"

"It was just my boss. He came to give me an earful for not turning up at work"

"Your boss must really like you, huh? For him to come all this way."

Mira waved her hand in the air. "Perish that thought. Anyways, I'm going to prepare for work now. Goodluck with your date"

Mirabel winked. "I don't need luck"

In the company, Valentina sighed. "hey, do you think Mira would be coming back?"

"No way. Didn't you hear how heated their argument was?" Dwayne said shaking his head. "I doubt that"

"Hey, gossip gang. Let's focus on work , shall we?" Andrea, the head of the marketing department said hitting a book on their desk and calling them to order. "Boss won't be happy to see you guys slacking off"

Dwayne faced Valentina "Speaking of boss, I haven't seen him since he left yesterday" 

"Boss can take care of himself. I'm more worried about Andrew. You could tell he'd fallen for Mira"

A cough behind them made them jump as they saw Kyle. 

"B-Boss" Valentina stuttered. "We were just-"

Kyle looked around. "Where's Andrew?"

"We haven't seen him yet" Dwayne replied. Kyle nodded his head. 

"Do you work properly" he said before walking off to his office. 

Valentina breathed out heavily. "I was scared"

"Me too" Dwayne agreed before looking out towards the door. "Mira!"

"Mira?" Valentina followed his gaze as she saw the bubbly Mira make her way into the office. 

"Good morning, everyone"she said with all smiles. 

"What happened?" Valentina grumbled as she made her way towards Mira to hug her. 

"It's nothing"

"Are you back for good now?"

Mira nodded her head. "Yes"

Dwayne shyly raised up his hand at her. "Mira, hello"

"Dwayne, hello. Have you been well?"

"Yes but-"

"Mira, tell us all the details. How are you back so suddenly?"

"Well-"The loud crashing down of papers could be heard as Mira turned around. 

She saw Andrew standing fixed in his position as though he'd seen a ghost. "M-Mira" he stuttered before making his way towards her and embracing her. 

Everyone gasped. What was happening?. 

Kyle who was watching the scene from his office balled his fist as he recalled Valentina's previous words; "I'm more worried about Andrew. You could tell he'd fallen for Mira"

Kyle dropped the file on his hands and moved towards Andrew and Mira and broke them apart. "It's time to work"

"Yes" Andrew said finally remembered his location. 

Mira who was surprised by his gesture was finally able to find the courage to move to her desk. 

"Valentina, what's the daily?" Kyle asked. 

"From the new lipgloss product 'Enchanteur' we have 50 reviews and 5 of them complained about the same thing."

"And what's that?"

"The taste of the lipgloss. These 5 people seems to be social media influencers as they took it to their channels too" Valentina said playing a video that shows a lady in her twenties complaining about their new product. 

"Miss Mira, what do you suggest we do?" Kyle asked. 

"Huh?" Mira said confused. 

"You have two degrees in hubspot so what do you suggest we do?"

"Uh, first" Mira faced Valentina."What was the flavor used to make the lipgloss"

"Watermelon"Dwayne replied.

"Then, I suggest we change the flavor to something everyone likes like-"

"Apple" Andrew interjected with beaming eyes unable to hide his smile at her wonderful idea. 

"Yes or cinder. What do you think, sir?"

Kyle intertwined his fingers trying to suppress his excitement. Once again, she'd surprised him.

"Miss Andrea" Kyle said calling the head of the marketing department. 

"Yes sir"

"You heard her. Change the flavor of the lipgloss"

"Yes sir"

"Meeting dismissed" Kyle said standing up "oh and Miss Mira?"

"Yes, sir?"

"Not bad" he said before heading to his office as  Everyone clapped for Mira.

    The following morning as Mira makes her way to leave for work, Mirabel reminds her to come home early as she'll be bringing her boyfriend home to introduce her to him. "We need to make a rule in this house that you mention your 'boyfriend' once a week because I think you are going to make my ears bleed soon" Mira teases. "Oh, don't be jelly, Mira" Mirabel sticks out her tongue. "It's not my fault I'm hot" "I see" Mira moves to the kitchen where she fixes herself a toast and warm milk. "Cheers to you being hot" "Seriously, don't you want to date either. You've just been about work, work. At this rate, you might die single" "I told you I already have someone I like, Mirabel" "Then tell this person!" Mirabel grumbles. "He would never know how you feel unless you lay out your cards first" Mira sips from her glass of milk. "That would be nice but he'd never noticed me before" "Then that's perfect" Mirabel clicks her fingers. "Why don't you try seducing him? I can help you out" Mir

    Stunned by their sudden closeness, Mira backs away; putting some space between her and Kyle. She peeps out of the wardrobe and clarifying that Mirabel was not in the bedroom, she turned to face Kyle. "You need to go out through the window" "W-Why?" Kyle questioned confused. "Just because" Mira says stepping out of the wardrobe with Kyle as she directed him towards the window. "Off you go" Kyle stares at Mira, dumbfounded. "There's no way I'm going to fit through" "There is. You are obviously fit enough" "But still..."Kyle was cut off as Mira pushes him out through the window, falling on his face. "I'm sorry" Mira apologizes through the window before locking it shut. Turning around, she straightened her cloth as she tiptoes out of her bedroom to the bathroom; she wanted to make it look like she was coming out of the bathroom so she couldn't hear Mirabel when she called for her. Just as Mira was about to turn on the bathroom door knob, she hears a muffled voice inside the ba

"Mira, are you still asleep?" On hearing Andrew's voice, Mira's eyes jolted wide opened. "Andrew? How did you get my number?" She shakes her head. "Anyways, why did you call? It's Saturday" Andrew chuckled. "You didn't forget about our 'stakeout' today, now, did you?" "Stakeout?" Mira rubbed her forehead as she suddenly remembered. "That's right, it's today. I nearly overslept. Thanks for calling" "It's not a problem. By the way, are you alright? You sound quite unlike your usual self" Brandon was still on Mira's mind like a leech but she was determined to brush him off, even if it was just for today. She had to focus on work. "It's probably because I'm just waking up" "I understand. We decided to go in teams, remember? Let me know when to pick you up" "That's not necessary, Andrew. We can just m

"So everyone round up with you are doing and get ready" When Kyle was out of sight, Mira walked up to Valentina. "This field trip might just be exactly what you need to calm down. You've been edgy these days, V" Valentina heaved a heavy sigh. "I know that but how can I calm down? The company is fairing badly because of us. We should be working harder than before not playing around" "Don't you see why boss is suggesting this field trip?" Dwayne questions Valentina. "He can see just how much pressure we're under" "That's right" Andrew countered. "Just use this trip to blow off some steam. Who knows we might be able to think better when we're all relaxed?"

    The next day when Mira wakes up, she stretches with a smile on her face; glad to have come on this field trip as aged forgotten about all her problems. But then suddenly, her mind drifts off to Andrew's drunken confession last night as the smile on her face suddenly disappeared. "What do I do? I can't act as if it never happened. That might hurt Andrew's feelings" She mumbles. Grumbling, she pulls out her hair. "I don't know, honestly" Deciding not to dwell on it too much, Mira climbs down from her bed as she moves to the bathroom to shower. When she was all freshened up, Mira left her room as she headed to the dining; where she was sure the others were gathered and she was right. Each and every one of the them looked like they'd just been hit by a bus; Mira stiffles a laughter over this as she joined them by the dinning table. "Can you still laugh this morning?" Valentina questioned Mira, jealous that she didn't feel like hell. Mira smiles. "Yes, I can. Wait here while

    The following day as Mira walks into the company, she mutters her usual words of encouragement."Everything is going to be alright, Mira. Let's focus on work; that's what truly matters. Let's forget about Andrew or Brand---" She swallows her words as she sees Brandon flirting with other ladies from the company. Mira rubs her eyes; wanting to believe that her eyes were playing tricks on her but there Brandon was in the flesh, his hands trailing the skin of that red haired lady she knew not. "That pr***!" Mira cussed as she makes her way towards him; her anger obviously taking the best of her. She poundered on what she should do to him; grab his hair? Kick his person or slap him as hard as she could. When she just a stone throw away from him, Mira decided to be 'humane' for the sake that she was at work. Crossing her arms, she stared at Brandon; who suddenly noticed her, long and hard."What are you doing here?" Mira questioned through clenched teeths. "Mira, right?" Brandon ques

While Mira seems to be enjoying the silence, Andrew broke the ice. "Is something wrong? You look like you have alot on your mind" Andrew says observing Mira's facial features. "How can you tell?" "I'm very good at reading people. So? Wanna lay your burden on me?" Mira was in deep thoughts for a while but since Andrew seems to not remember his confession to her, she concluded to treat him as she used to. "Should I? Then, here it goes" Mira sips her coffee. "My sister's boyfriend is quite sketchy" "Sketchy?" "Yes. He's doing something that if I tell my sister about it, she won't be able to move for days" "How bad is it?" "Hmm, let's say like smuggling drugs out of the country?" Andrew nods his head. "And you are worried if you should tell your sister or not, right?" "Yes, what should I do?"

    Kyle was still shocked with the news and didn’t know what to say to his workers. He could barely look at them in the faces, yesterday, but he had to act tough. It wasn’t a sin, but as a public figure, Mira could be going through some uncomfortable situation right now and he felt bad for what had just happened. He wondered who exactly leaked this, because no one else knew about their relationship, except Mirabel and she wouldn’t do that to her sister. He had returned the phone and walked out, feeling anger, deep inside of him.And his secretary followed him to his office, hoping that he wouldn’t lash out at her. Kyle slammed his fist on the table, feeling angry. Kyle didn’t go home and stayed in his office until the next day. His secretary walked in early, trying not to get on his nerves.“Good morning, sir.” She greeted him, trying not to sound happy or sort.“How did this happen, right under my nose?” He said, with anger.Katherina couldn’t say anything as she was speechless because

    Mirabel was heartbroken and as she drove off, she screamed so loud.“Screw you! How could you do this to me?” She shouted in anger and threw the flower at the already gone car.She moved closer to the river bank and rested on the rail and started crying.“Why would Brandon do this to me? After trusting him so much and doing my best for him, he left.” She muttered under her breath, with hot tears rolling down her cheek.Then she headed towards a bar and then sat down.“Bartender, give me two bottles of any strong alcohol you have here.” She said, not minding the way he looked at her.The bartender dropped the two bottles before her and returned to attending other customers, waiting. Mirabel gulped down the drink and then she poured a shot for herself and drank again.“That bastard. How dare he fool my sister and I?” She bit her lips in pain and was barely holding back the tears.Then she took five more shots at one go and was beginning to get drunk.“Hey, beautiful miss.

    Mira still didn’t have the interest to go to work. There was no way she would be able to face the peering eyes of her colleagues. She was even certain that reporters could be at the company, waiting for her and Kyle, so that they could bombard them with questions.“Mira.” Mirabel called out to her, softly.“You know what, do not bother to try to convince me. I do not know about tomorrow, I could decide to go to work, but today, I do not feel like it. I can’t go to work in this mood and even while things are still hot.” Mira said, then heaved a heavy sigh.“Come on, Mira. Alright, it’s fine. I understand you and you can stay at home today, but tomorrow, make sure that you go to work, okay?” Mirabel said as she stroked Mira’s hair backwards.“We’ll see about that.” Mira said, weakly.Suddenly. Mirabel’s phone rang and she went to the sitting room to check who was calling her and to her surprise, it was Brandon. Seeing his call made every suspicion she had, against him, to disappear. She

    Kyle felt happy with the way things went, last night and when he woke up this morning, he replied Mira's message."What a good day to start work." Kyle said as he stretched, happily.He went to the bathroom and had his bath, then went downstairs to eat breakfast. He nodded his head in satisfaction as he ate the meal. Because he was having a good start for the day, everything seemed so nice to him. If he was given a meal which wasn't really delicious, to him, it was going to be delicious.Then he checked his phone while eating to see if Mira had replied him."Why hasn't she replied me? She ought to have woken up, since it is a work day. Or she is still busy, preparing for work?" He assumed, then dropped his phone to finish up his food.After he was done with eating, he entered his car and checked his phone, but still no reply from Mira."Now, she ought to have seen it. Or would it be cool if I went to her house and pick her up? She might have gone to the office." Kyle slammed his wrist

    "What's going on?" Mirabel asked out of concern as she saw the way Mira was looking at her phone."I think something is wrong, Mirabel." Mira said, trying to calm down, hoping she wasn't in great trouble."What's wrong, Mira?" Mirabel continued to ask, worrying that something was really wrong.Mira checked online and screamed as she saw a message sent to her by one of the people she knew. It was a screenshot of an article about her and Kyle. The person didn't screenshot all, so Mira immediately checked online to confirm if it really was a real article that was posted online."Check the internet, Mirabel. I do not understand what I am seeing right now." Mira said, with her hands which were filled with cold sweats.Mirabel gasped as she saw the news. An article about going on a date with Kyle was all over the internet and was even trending. Many comments were there, including hate comments that were directed at her."What the hell? How did this get to the public?" Mirabel exclaimed, loo

    Mira woke up, she didn't know when she slept off last night. She was really exhausted and when she picked up her phone, she saw a message which was from Kyle, which read:"I slept off yesterday and that's why you didn't see a reply from me. Good morning, sunshine. I am certain that you are awake by now, because I can feel the warm sunlight reaching me over here. Have a nice day, sweetheart."Mira blushed after reading the message. She didn't check any other message because she had seen the only message which turned her whole day into a beautiful thing. It was a really nice thing. Mira went to the bathroom to have her bath, which she took time there, then she went downstairs to watch TV or do anything else to make her day even more fun."How was your night, Mira?" Mirabel asked, from the kitchen."It is one of the best nights I've ever had in life." Mira smiled as she twirled and sat on the couch like a princess."I thought as much. When I checked up on you, you were sleeping soundly."

    As Kyle got to where she was and tried to make her stand, she started laughing and then she clutched her arms around him. “Gotcha!” She giggled, feeling happy that she was able to get him. “So, you tricked me. But that’s cheating.” He said as he stood up. Mira laughed the more. “All you said was to catch you if I can and I can use any method to catch you, since there were no rules, so it isn’t cheating.” Mira closed her eyes in pride and feeling victorious. Kyle laughed at how Mira had outwitted him in the least way he expected. ~ An hour later, they left the beach and went to a street, wearing hoodies, so they won’t be recognized. They ate street food which was really delicious. They also went to a game hub to play games. Mira was happy that she had fun, not just with anyone, but with someone that she had crushed on for years. When it was evening, they both went to a river bank and they had removed their hoodies as no one would see them clearly in the night. The breeze caressed

    Mira was uncomfortable with what Andrew had asked for. She didn’t like the idea of allowing him to give her a ride home as she didn’t want anything that could cause a misunderstanding between her and Kyle.“I’m sorry, I’ll prefer to walk back home on my own.” She said as she tried to avoid eye contact with Andrew.“Why? Is it because you are still feeling weird about the rejection stuff? Or you feel that won’t be a good idea, since you want me to look somewhere else.” He asked as he tried to make eye contact with her.“No, you do not have to think far about this. I just do not need a ride. Try to understand this, Andrew.” Mira said, looking a bit frustrated as she finally looked into his eyes.“I just want to be certain that I have not lost points or make you feel like you do not want to be my friend anymore because of what happened between us.” Andrew said, peering into her eyes like a lost puppy.“No, that’s not how it is. You are still a friend to me. A good friend.” Mira assured a

    I’m glad you aren’t.” Mira responded, pinning her hair to the back of her ear.~They had talked for a while before going back to the office to eat or do any other thing. Although, the conversation seemed platonic at some point, but it was still obvious in some words he said, that he was still very much interested and he sounded like he was still going to make many more attempts.After work that day, Mira went home in excitement and unfortunately, Mirabel was around and was with Brandon.“Brandon? You came today? After all these while.” She rolled her eyes as she joined them in the sitting room.Afterall since she'd decided to play dumb about Brandon being a cheat, she had to act the part as an excited sister-in-law, right? “You do not have to be annoyed. I am so sorry, it has been work taking all my time, but I am here now.” Brandon apologized sincerely, with his palms together that Mira nearly gagged.“It’s fine. You are forgiven.” Mira said, with her eyelids closed in pride. “Mir
