“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
WITH the facts, details, and pieces of evidence that they got so far regarding Francis and his grand scheme. Cath is bothered by one thing, the other invitation that she got the other day which she needed to act upon and fast. “But first things first.”She immediately added with the expression that Nadia and Jun knew that it could be or it is both troubles or not. “Is there something more?”Jun immediately asks, worried and much more eager to know what Cath is about to say. Knowing that it can help them or not one way or another. His worried tone and expression that Nadia isn’t fond of seeing from him. With that lingering jealousy that she knew she doesn’t have the right to have. “More if you will say so.” Cath immediately agrees in a certain way that worried and at the same time intrigued Jun even more. “I got this just yesterday.”She immediately hands the invitation that she got from the group of men with suits that somehow are high profile guards of someone powerful, but she k
“AND you are all set.”Nadia confidently smiles, knowing that this will be an easy task for Cath. For the journalist who once turns into a detective, and build her career from scratch, Sam had no idea what became of Cath after all those years. “Wish me luck.”Cath smiles with a wink of confidence that Nadia approves, but says the opposite. “You do not need such luck and you know that.”A bit of dissing, yet Cath is all used to such from her. Cath immediately went their way according to plan. Leaving the mansion with the two of them with the reasoning of revisiting some places and having a girl’s day out that Sam didn’t think of much. “They left the mansion in time, and I am currently tailing the car that they are in, Sir.”Or is it?“Good. Continue doing so and inform every thirty minutes.”He cut the call immediately. The moment when a knock is heard on his office door and he let his secretary in. “Come in.”With a few documents at hand, Brian fixed his glasses and looked at the
“AS you guess it! Well, it's the pattern that every businessman does when it comes to their rival in business. CEO Samuel Lawrence is digging everything up about you.”With a confident smile and eyes that screams that he had the upper hand in the game that he started. Targeting one person to take everything including the girl. A sinister smile draws on his face, while looking at the city from his office glass wall, he smirks at the words that follow. “Let him be, and let's see if he will find out who am I. In that way maybe he will remember who I am.”Marks with the vengeance that his rival will never see it coming. His smile is making that fact known, that everything will not end until he is satisfied with his revenge. “By the way, I already collected everything of the information that you needed. Down from the smallest little detail. Samuel Lawrence's dirt, tricks, past, and schemes.”The proud smile of his business partner and more like someone who is more than dedicated to seei
