IN a hurry, he quickly went out of his car and made his way to his company while untying his ties and removing his suit in the process.

“Sam.”

Brian meets him at the entrance handing him a blue suit and tie which he immediately wore as they march towards the elevator with a bit of stress out expression.

“How long?’

He asked, in time as the elevator closes inquiring Brian for the details for the surprise visit of his biggest potential business partner.

“Fifteen minutes. He didn’t ask for anything, as he gladly is waiting for you in your office.”

Puzzled by the last sentence that Brian informs him. He looks at him for a second, just when Brian fixed his glasses and drops him the worse news that he’s been telling him on the phone.

Gasping, but still in his composed and professional demeanor despite knowing that Sam will be in some kind of tight spot, he said. “Miss Erika is here.”

Silence took place, but for a few seconds before the elevator sounded and opens to their floor. W

    ON their way home, Cath couldn’t help but think about what happened earlier. That though she is convincing herself that she isn’t disappointed, it all shows on her face. “Can I guess what you are thinking right now?” Lindsey interrupted her thoughts with a grin on her face. In the mood to tease her by which she always casually shoves her off with her attempts. “Maybe tomorrow?” She shut her up that Lindsey isn’t buying for a bit and rolled her eyes as a pre-response to her. “The kids are already sleeping, Lindsey. They are tired and as much as possible I do not want them to be woken up because you are teasing me with their father.” Her reason, and her scapegoat that Lindsey knew otherwise. Still finding something to throw at her and tease her at the end. “Acting like the mother of the twins. I’m going to record this one.” She snaps a pick and quickly that left Cath speechless and with no room to even protest. All along with Harry, that is supporting Lindsey and everything

    "IT’S not that hard to fall for her, and that’s a fact.” A confession? The word and somewhat a hunch that Cath is making sense and right inside her mind. Taken aback and immediately looking away from Sam that for that moment and a few seconds is someone that is wavering her heart and worse, with his Casanova nature that she should resist. “Aren’t ‘you’, Lindsey suddenly said emphasizing the word you while looking back at the both of them. “Already fallen in love?” Caught with the statement that Lindsey cunningly just said. They both look at each other and back, where Cath suddenly felt her heart beating fast and the atmosphere turns warm. “I mean from the past!” Lindsey then gave back her words but teased them both with her scheming plan and amused expression. “For I am sure that everyone falls in love once in their life, right?” Everyone then nods, agreeing with her words, but in truth is her ever-teasing game towards the two. “Daddy, do you like Miss Cath.” Once more ca

    HOW did she end up in this situation? The question that Cath is running into her mind. All after she said yes, and like subconsciously agrees to stay for a night. “Come on Cath, keep yourself together.” She somehow is scolding herself and at the same time reminding her that she shouldn’t walk away from her initial plan and ends up repeating her mistake from the past. With a knock on the door, she immediately composes herself and opens it to be greeted by nanny Ester with clothes at hand. “Thank you, nanny Ester.” Appreciating, the old woman places her change of clothes for the night on top of her bed in one of the mansion’s guest rooms. “How long has it been?” Nanny Ester suddenly asks, reminiscing with her tone of longing and hoping in her voice. “Six years?” Smiling back and nodded as she reply to the old woman who had once been her second mother. Most of all and out of the rest knew what happened in the past is both a good and bad thing for her to remember. “I didn’t

    “BUT that part is still negotiable, right?” Words that mean more than what they initially had. Sam couldn’t help but smile confidently after asking Cath the question that left her speechless at that moment. “Pa-pardon?” She stutters a bit which makes him smirk. “I’ll just be outside.” In a time when the servants knock on the door and he let them inside. He deliberately left Cath wondering what he means by those words. “Was that?” She whispers to herself, as she didn’t even notice that Sam is no longer by her side. “Tsk!” Sam smirks, proud of himself and the words that he just said to Cath. Closing the door for the servants to attend to Cath’s needs. He is surprised to see Lindsey now standing in front of him with her knowing look and teasing smile. “There is no need to act surprised, Sam. You and I already know this little game that you are playing. But do not worry, I am completely at your side.” She assures, patting him on the shoulder. Couldn’t help, but shake his h

    EARS that as red as a tomato. Her heart that is beating like crazy for a moment, and her subconscious mind is screaming at her to wake up. Cath is into the arms, locked and so close to the person she is unlikely to be in that situation. “Still a messy one, aren’t you?” Sam whispers, teasing her while loving how Cath looks at him with her reddened ears so that he knows that she is flustered by the moment. Cath’s nature and involuntary mannerisms made her one of a kind to his eyes. “You got some floor on your face.” With a wide smile, he brushes Cath’s hair and locks it over her right ear. Then saying those words, the moment, he wipes the floor off her nose. ‘THIS IS TROUBLE.’ Cath’s subconscious mind is screaming, yet her body is frozen in place and her gazes are only pinned towards Sam and those eyes of his that both remind her of the sky and diamonds. “Are you two going to kiss?” Monique’s innocent, but somehow not so innocent question. The little girl’s words and perfect

    SCREAM. Should she do it? The thought that’s currently circling inside Cath’s mind. All while she is pinned with her both on the tight grip of Sam. “Do it, and you will see how I’ll shut you up with my lips.” She immediately shut the thought. As she rather is a thief than being kissed by Sam. “Acting though?” Sam disappointingly asks, as his teasing seems not to affect Cath. But knowing her was more than enough. He knew that Cath is just being stubborn even though his hunch is telling him that she still has feelings for him. “How about we do it differently?” He proposes, trying to get under Cath’s skin. That at that moment is keeps her mouth close for as long as she can even though her mind and heart are in a crazy state. “Choose. I’ll be kissing you right now, or you will help me get change.” Cath’s patience almost exploded. Realizing that Sam is toying her with his teasing game that he always does back then. But this time in a kind of flirting way that Cath doesn’t

    IT hasn’t even been an hour since Cath officially becomes the nanny of the twins. Yet, Sam is acting like she is his servant and just to get her attention all to him. “The twins’ class will end at 11.” He started, and once more all after the little things that he made Cath do which are all the basic stuff that she already knew. “It’s better that you will stay at the academy until that time. There are designated places for the student’s guardian, so you do not need to worry about where you’ll be staying.” Irritated, but she needed to keep her cool now that the second phase of her plan is already complete. “I will and you do not need to worry about anything ‘SIR’ Lawrence.” She teases, emphasizing the honorific of the word ‘SIR’. Which took Sam aback with the kick of nuisance and offended by her word. “Sam.” He immediately corrected, somewhat snapped and emphasizing his name. with the steps close to Cath, by which Cath in return is stepping back and supposedly evading him. “You

You really would do that daddy?” Monique squeals in delight hearing those words from him. “I will, and after which we will go to the amusement park.” Giving his daughter a slight pinch in the cheek and his son a fist bump. The twins are all excited and even couldn’t wait for the time to turn fast. “You heard that Cole? We are going to the amusement park.” Melted by the twins' smiles and taken by Sam’s words. Cath is reminded of the vice-principal's concern. A fact that lightens up somehow as Sam took the promise she made with the kids if circumstances weren’t changed the last time. “Then, I’ll be seeing you later?” Immediately fading her smile because she doesn’t want him to misunderstand her expression. She instead asks, curious about thi

Which makes him think if he is regretting his decision of giving Cath a clue about the past.“Or should I call you now with your known name, Aaron?”“Tell me, do you hate me that much after what you have learn, Cath?”“Hate you?
