“WELL, I am here to take Cath back.”Nadia’s confident and firm words. Telling the biggest fact that it is something unavoidable and Sam couldn’t do a single thing about it. “Back?”Sam couldn’t help but asks that one-word question, which amuses Nadia, yet she didn’t show it to her face and not even for a second. “Nadia.”Cath warns Nadia with her piercing look behind her seemingly innocent smile. Asking her what the hell is she saying. “Yes, our boss wanted Cath back.”Nadia added and with a quick wink towards Cath. Telling her that she got this at hand. A teasing game that Cath almost had a migraine, thinking that Nadia might spill her reason for coming back. “She is only here for a vacation, right?” She asks with some kind of assurance and a reply from Sam. Which is a bit taken aback by the worried expression that Nadia wanted to burst out laughing. “Well, Cath filed for at most a one-month-long vacation, but our boss thinks that it was quite long.”Nadia made up some lies th
“FIANCEE?”Jun smirks and draws a wide sly smile on his face after what just Nadia did. Introducing him in such a way that he isn’t protesting about, but rather like it in secret. “Why? Didn’t you like that perfect lie?”Nadia smiles and acts all cutesy with her eyes blinking which never fails to make Jun smile. But then he always denies and erases that expression like a professional detective with his own principles. “Next time, give me a heads up.”Jun demanded that Nadia doesn’t have the excuse to not be guilty of that fact. “In times of crisis, one must do the right and fastest thing available.”She proudly claims and kind of reminds Jun of one of his rules that impresses the detective. “Alright. But when did you have that diamond ring?”He asks curiously, and Nadia sheepishly smiles recalling her plan before boarding the plane a while back.“WHAT could be the perfect plan to cover someone whose lover is suspecting that cheating is going on?”Nadia asks herself while looking a
“NADIA’S fiancée.”Sam whispered to himself and just enough that he is the only one who could hear those words. After realizing the fault that he had just done. Jumping to conclusions and not listening to Brian. Which will put him in trouble with Cath. “By the way what are you doing here Sam and wearing those clothes?”Nadia casually asks with a bit of a weirded-out tone. But in truth is starting to grill Sam and sending that hint to Cath to do her part. “M-me?”Sam stutters a bit pointing at himself and looking at his clothes. Knowing that he couldn’t escape the worse predicament that he put himself into. “Right? What are you doing here Sam? I thought that you are in the office?”Cath immediately acted, scaring Sam with the way she stares at him. Completed with her arms crossed and a disappointed expression. “I…”Sam tries to think for a reason and quickly. After seeing Cath’s expression, one wrong word and move, he will end up on the bad side of his woman. “And cheating?” Cath
“I know, but I also know that you couldn’t be angry with me for long. And I am going to prove you that.”The challenge that Cath is more than willing to accept, with a little thinking of teasing Sam. “Alright. Prove it.”Her wide and confident smile that Sam already read what is going on inside her mind. Then he took her hand and pulled her beside him and went his way to his mall’s department and into the men’s section. “We better follow those two.”Nadia drags Jun with her following Cath and Sam. All while hiding her dismay from what just Jun said a while ago. “Come on!”She insists that by this point Jun had no choice but to comply. “This?”Jun is in awe, after checking the prices of the clothes after entering the department store of the mall. With all the branded names and luxury that he doesn’t even have the slightest liberty to wear. “Yes, I know.” Nadia interrupted his words and finish them in her tone. “One piece of clothes from this line can feed thousand of starving kids
BRIAN is in the last step to scold Sam for not listening to him and worse, he stalks his sister and ends up in a mix-up that almost jeopardizes his relationship with his step-sister. When Sam handed him a file.“I want you to investigate someone.”Sam's command and not just a simple request. Handing him the initial information and photo of his current target.“Detective Jun?”Brian asks while hiding the things that he knew. Acted puzzled and concerned about what Sam wanted him to do right now. “I want you to dig into every small piece of information about him. I want every detail, do not miss a thing. As I want it as soon as possible.”Sam’s command wasn’t even that hard for Brian to know and guess what it is all about. With the lie that Sam initially buys, Brian knew that Sam is not the kind of person that will trust someone. Especially if it is another man and once he thinks to be the one Cath is cheating on him. “Alright. I’ll see into this matter immediately.”Brian heeded, assu
“ALRIGHT, who’s next?”Adriella excitedly asks, handing the microphone and expecting someone to sing in front. It is a first for Cath to see, but she is relieved knowing that she could relax now that Adriella is in her best mood. “Do not look at me.”Jun immediately turns Lindsey down before she could ask him. Not because he is one serious detective who doesn’t know how to have fun, but because he just doesn’t care about singing and anything to do about it at all. “Tsk!” Lindsey clicks her tongue in dismay, then looks at Nadia who looks back at her while eating some strawberry cheesecake. “Never mind.” She gave up the thought, knowing that putting Nadia with Jun through a song is not a good idea. Searching for prey, she heard her niece's voice. “Daddy, mommy, why don’t you two sings for us?”Monique’s request put a smile on Lindsey’s face. Cath initially wanted to reject casually, but Nadia and Lindsey are thinking otherwise. The two are currently looking at each other with the s
“IS that even necessary?”Adriella a bit protested after that not-so-surprising kiss that Sam did. “Don’t be like that mom, just let them enjoy the moment. Besides, Cath won your two challenges already.”Lindsey reminded Adriella with that knowing smile that Adriella knew that her daughter had something to do with why. Giving those tips that are not unknown to her, and which she also doesn’t want to pry on Lindsey. “Fine.”She gave up, but that only moment, which Lindsey even more excitedly giggles. “I will just be outside for a moment.”Jun suddenly excuses himself. Nadia knew why. Letting him, Nadia couldn’t help but be down and a bit jealous. Think that Jun is affected by what just happened, and Sam kissing Cath in front of them. “Nadia.”Lindsey whispers, calling Nadia’s attention which Nadia immediately recognizes. “What?”They both started talking in a whisper and more with their facial expression that their little click only knew what it all means. “Go.”Lindsey moves her
HEEDING Lindsey’s facility rather than a request. Nadia ends up following Jun, composing herself and immediately. Being herself and that bit nosy one that the detective knew about her. “Is everything alright?”The standard question that everyone would ask in times like this. Which admittingly Lindsey got from all the romantic movies and romantic-comedy ones that she benches watching while she is stressed from work or her personal life.“What’s with the question?”Jun immediately got her, which is not that difficult knowing her and being a detective himself. “Nothing.” Nadia nudges it and acts a bit fidgety, but still in her usual demeanor. “Nothing. It’s just that—”“I knew it.”Jun immediately cut her, chuckling and giving the fact that he knew all along what she is thinking. “I am fine, I just need some air that’s all.”‘HE’S LYING'. The words pop immediately inside Nadia’s mind. For she is more than sure enough that Jun is not being true to his feelings from that very point. A
