Inside the car, Gideon and Isabel were still hugging each other, as if they were making the most of their time together. Isabel's head was resting on Gideon's shoulder, who was caressing her arm gently."It started that night," Isabel explained as she played with Gideon's hands. They are reminiscing about their first night together."Since then, I've always been looking for your fragrance...you drove me insane Isabel that night, and you still do it every time you get closer to me," Gideon replied before kissing Isabel on the forehead.Isabel smiled and turned to face him. "Gideon, I want to be completely honest with you about Derek."Gideon frowned. "Go ahead.""He is my ex-boyfriend, he is my puppy love in high school. But nothing intimate happened in four months of relationship with him.” Isabel explained.Gideon nodded. "I trust you, Isabel.""Gideon, I want us to be honest with each other. But I'm concerned about tomorrow; I don't know how to act properly at work, especially since
"Isabel, how is Sir Gideon?" Alice asked as soon as Isabel exited the office."I think he was too affected by what happened to Ms. Freya. He’s not like the Gideon I'm talking to today, not the one from last night." Isabel answered sadly."Perhaps we just need to understand him for now; perhaps he's having trouble at work," Alice responded.Isabel nodded. "Maybe he needs space, because I don't know him very well yet. I don't know what he wants or doesn't want.""Give him space first, let him introduce himself to you," Alice stroked Isabel's back. “Let's get back to work."Isabel nodded, wiping her tears away from the corner of her eyes. She and Alice parted ways to return to their work._______"Kevin, where is Gideon?" Freya asked as soon as her eyes opened. While Darwin seemed to be disappointed on one side, when Freya noticed him, it was Gideon that she was looking for."He will come here too soon, he's just busy with work because you know you're not there to assist him, he is havi
"Hey...are you alright?" Isabel asked Gideon after their hug. Gideon, however, refused to remove his wrapped hand from Isabel's waist.Gideon shook his head. "I'm sorry about this morning."Isabel stroked his cheek. "I understand, you've been with Ms. Freya for a long time, especially at work, and—""This isn't about Freya," Gideon sighed. "My Uncle called me, and...he wants me to return to the City because if I don't, my older brother will take over the company," he explained."What? But it was you who built it."Gideon nodded. "Yeah..that's why I need to get back there as soon as possible."Isabel suddenly gets sad. "How long are you gonna stay there?"Gideon didn't respond right away.Isabel felt that Gideon didn't answer right away. She believes Gideon will be in New York for an extended period of time and is unsure when he will return to Brooklyn. It’s a bit different because you won't see me at Resorts anymore." Gideon smiled bitterly."Yeah...I'll miss you," Isabel said as she
In the morning, Gideon was stunned on one side. He continues to think about his mother. In her dream, he called her again. This happens whenever he has a problem or something bothers him, especially when it involves his father.He sighed and shifted his gaze to the papers under his desk. He needed to finish these papers, but his headache was still drowning him.It's still a burning fever, he held his head. He picked up his phone and dialed Isabel's number."I need you in the office, the air conditioner is killing me in the cold." he said.Isabel wasted no time in going straight to Gideon's office. She found the remote and quickly turned off the air conditioner. She came closer to caress Gideon's forehead."My God, Gideon, you're on fire; we need to call a doctor," she worriedly said.Gideon gave a nod. "I called Dr. Jace to check on me; he'll be here soon, my love; don't worry."Isabel blushed. Gideon addressed her as "my love" for the first time. She stroked Gideon's cheek as they w
"If you don't want to talk about it, it's fine love." Isabel said."No, I really want to be open to you, Isabel." he sighed. "She died in a car accident with my father inside; my Dad survived, but my Mom...she didn't make it." he sadly explained.Isabel has stopped. She had no idea her parents and Gideon's mother would both die in the same accident."Every night in my dream, I see my mother. "I could see the crash and how my mother died in the hospital," Gideon began to cry. He wiped away his tears and looked at Isabel. "The only night I haven't had those nightmares is the first night I slept with you in the bar. Since then, I knew that you are the woman I need, because you give me peace of mind.” he went on.Isabel was attached to his words. Touching Gideon’s face."You know what, I wanted to come with them that day, but my Mom said no, and if I was in that accident, maybe I would have gone with my Mom," Gideon explained.Isabel hugged him and said, "I would say that your Mom really
Gideon was dumbfounded while recalling the conversation he and Isabel had about her parents last night. He just went back to senses after hearing Kevin's knock and entering his office."Good morning, Sir." greeted Kevin."Good morning, Kev, come here. I'll have you do something." Gideon said seriously, pulling out a pen and a scrap of paper.Kevin frowned as Gideon wrote on that piece of paper and handed it to him."What shall I do here, Sir?" he asked."Go to the police station and look for those two people's records; they died in an accident twelve years ago; you need the exact date and reason for the accident, is that clear?" Gideon directed.Despite his wonder, Kevin simply followed Gideon's orders. He exited the office politely and accidentally ran into Isabel, who was still holding a tray."Geez, I'm sorry Sir Kevin." Isabel apologized.Kevin nodded and suddenly stopped when he saw her name tag, he looked at the piece of paper written the name of Isabella Smith and Lucio Smith.
Freya rushes Gideon into his office because of what he did to reveal his supposed secret relationship with Isabel."What do you want to prove, Gideon? You know you shouldn't have done it but you did it anyway!” Freya said angrily to him.Gideon stood up from his seat because he didn't like Freya rushing in his office."I did that because that was the right thing to do! I wouldn't do that if I didn't love Isabel, I can deal with accusations and issues against me by journalists or the whole world, just don't lose Isabel's trust in me!" answered Gideon.Freya fell silent. "You're not thinking Gideon, that can get to your Dad and when he finds out you have other priorities, he'll easily take the business you've worked so hard for!" she continued.Gideon winced as he knew that was going to happen but he had to be prepared."Let me take care of my own problems, Freya." answered Gideon. "You can leave."Freya let out a sigh. "I can't believe in you. You will sacrifice your shame for your ins
Freya greets the morning happily and is encouraged to go to work because of the new manager who will start working today. Finally, gradually, her sadness at Resorts will end because someone has arrived whom she believes will be her ally."Now tell me, how's Gideon doing here in the Resort?" Arkus asked Freya as they ate breakfast together."Have you seen him this morning?" Freya asked him back."Nope. I think he was late this morning." answered Arkus eagerly, slicing his Sourdough Bread which is famous at Fierro Resorts.Freya rolled her eyes. "He is always late, Arkus. Ever since he met that poor waitress, he has been neglecting the business.”Arkus chuckled. "What?"Freya was about to answer when Gideon and Isabel arrived happily holding hands into the Resort."So they are, the one we are talking about." Freya answered, Arkus turned around outside the restaurant while watching the two couples walking.Arkus grinned.When Gideon and Isabel entered, Arkus happily stood up to greet his
Gideon stopped when he saw the woman that was not disappearing from his mind. He still couldn't stand, sadness and teary eyes remained in his eyes.“Um, I'm sorry if I didn't inform you that I was coming–”"Y-You surprised me." Gideon trembled.Isabel sighed. Even though he couldn't speak, he seemed nervous that now he was facing Gideon."Yeah, Um..." he still stood his ground.Gideon stood up and faced Isabel. He slowly walked towards her."What brings you here?" he asked."I would like to finish my transactions with you, remember the debt I owe you? I'm carrying him now.." Isabel answered.Gideon frowned. "Isabel, I'm not charging you. And you don't have to pay, it's my help for Isaac, it's not a debt—”"But I want to pay him Gideon. Please accept it." Isabel took out the money inside the envelope and handed it to Gideon.Gideon shook his head, tears in his eyes. "No, Isabel...""Please...for the peace of my mind." Even Isabel was crying but she stopped it in front of Gideon."No, I
One week passed, after more than two weeks of Isabel and Isaac's stay in the hospital, they were finally released. Derek and Alice happily welcomed the two siblings to the apartment with a surprise for the two.“Welcome home, Isaac!” Derek and Alice were surprised at the same time.Isabel was stunned by that surprise, and even Isaac couldn't help but be surprised.“Wow! Lots of balloons and food!” Isaac's reaction.Alice just laughed and hugged Isaac at the same time."That's all for you, Isaac." he says."Thank you Alice." Isaac looked at Derek and hugged him too."You're a strong boy!" Derek said and stroked Isaac's hair."Anyway, we still have a guest. Of course, I invited him so that we can thank him." Alice said and asked Arkus to enter the apartment."Hello!" Arkus greeted happily.Isabel smiled. And he let Isaac thank him for his help when he took him to the hospital."Thanks." Isaac answered shyly."No problem, Isaac. You have to be thankful to your sister because she begged m
Five days passed, Isabel chose to make up for her brother who was still confined to the hospital. She even wrote an excuse letter for not going to work until her brother's condition returns to normal.And because Arkus witnessed Isaac's condition himself, he volunteered to exempt Isabel and even helped with the hospital bills. Somehow the burden on Isabel's heart was reduced by the fact that there were people willing to help her brother, Alice was one of them who every time she finished work, she went straight to the hospital to bring them something to eat.Isabel has not heard from Gideon for five days. She decided not to let him know about her situation because she didn't want him to feel sorry for her.So as much as possible, she is also looking for an extra income to pay the huge debt she owes to Gideon."There was a lot of work earlier at the Resort, what I heard earlier is that they will first look for a replacement for you Isabel." Alice said when she arrived at the hospital.T
Isabel immediately returned to the hospital after she got Isaac's needs for their stay. Carrying the bag, Alice met her from the hallway."Isabel, the nurse said Isaac will wake up soon. Did you buy food for him?”Meanwhile, Isabel is still dumbfounded and unable to speak.“Hey…Isaac will be okay. Don't worry, okay?" Alice said, patting her shoulder.Isabel sat down, as did Alice who was still surprised by the expression on Isabel's face. Her facial expression was different before she left the hospital earlier."Isabel what happened? You talked to Sir Gideon, didn’t you?”Isabel nodded. “I met him outside the apartment.”"So, you must be happy because somehow—""I'm done with all of us, Alice." Isabel said sadly."Huh?" Alice also felt sad. "Did he admit he had a girl?"Isabel shook her head. "That's the thing Alice, he doesn't admit it. He told me perhaps it is just Freya, I said I don't care who else she is." she sighed. "He saw that Arkus rode me home and hugged me. He told me that
Isabel immediately got out of the car and Arkus supported Isaac, the nurses immediately came to take him to the emergency room."Miss, you have to wait here. We will take care of the patient." The nurse blocked Isabel on her way.Isabel just sat down and couldn't stop crying."Isabel! Isabel, what happened?" Alice runs up to Isabel, concerned."Alice!" Isabel hugged her friend immediately, "I'm sorry I couldn't wait for you, I had to take Isaac to the hospital...""Hey...it's alright; my God, I'm worried about you and Isaac.""I'll just wait outside." Arkus interrupted because he was also shocked by what he witnessed.When he got out of the hospital, he seemed to regret what he had thought about Isabel; he had no idea her brother's illness was so serious.When he opened the phone he read Freya's text."I convinced Gideon that you and Isabel are having dinner today, Arkus; keep up the good work!"Arkus rolled his eyes and let out a sigh. He felt guilty so he didn't reply to Freya anymo
The night ended when Gideon didn't remember to call Isabel because he was too focused and tired from work.The next day, Isabel is depressed and appears out of place at the Resort. Arkus noticed this, so when he noticed Isabel's tears on the side, he secretly handed her a handkerchief."I don't need that, Sir," Isabel said again, but Arkus insisted on putting it in her hand."Are you going to wipe your tears with the dirty rag you use to wipe the table? Come on, that doesn't suit your charming face," Arkus replied.Isabel remained silent and locked her gaze on Arkus'."Why are you doing this?" she asked abruptly."What"“Why are you getting my attention? If you have a plan to do something, please do not carry it out. "I'm sick of you, boys," Isabel said sluggishly before leaving, but Arkus stopped her."Are you all right?" Why do you appear to be insane today? Did you get into a fight with Gideon?" Arkus asked, concerned.Isabel remained silent."Okay, I'm sorry for bothering you; I'
Over the course of several weeks, the long distance relationship between Gideon and Isabel continued, however they gave each other time after work every day. But that isn't enough for Gideon, who misses Isabel, especially her hugs and kisses.But for now he has to stay in the City to fix the rift between his father and son regarding work. Grimo starts again at the beginning in Enterprise but he does not lose his envy whenever Gideon is known and always sought by investors."I'm looking for Mr. Fierro to discuss the upcoming event here in New York,” said a businessman to the guard.Grimo looked at the businessman and guided what the guard was going to say before he spoke."Hello Mr..?""Robert Jackson," introduced the businessman.Grimo smiled. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Jackson; my name is Grimo Fierro, the oldest son; how may I assist you?""Hello Mr. Fierro, well you're here, perhaps I'll discuss the upcoming event here in New York with you, a representative from Fierro Enterprise, we'l
After the pleasure and romantic night, Gideon took Isabel to the apartment to get ready for work. Isaac and Alice were pleased to see him again.They kindly let Gideon inside while waiting for Isabel to get dressed.An hour later, Alice, Isabel and Gideon entered the Fierro Resort together. Gideon's car was still far away when Arkus saw it immediately, he frowned and immediately thought that Gideon's car had come to a stop in the garage.“Cousin! You didn't say you were going to visit.”Arkus said cheerfully as soon as Gideon stepped out of the car.The combination of Isabel's and Alice's expressions changed immediately in the morning. That's why Alice decided to go in first, while Isabel chose to stay with Gideon for a moment."I just give a ride with Isabel and Alice, and I'm heading back to the City," Gideon replied.Arkus turned to face Isabel. "Hmm, so you spent last night together?" he asked, looking at Gideon.Gideon nodded but said nothing."Gideon, I'm going inside," Isabel s
"Oh, why did you talk to Sir Gideon so quickly?" Alice asked, just coming out of the kitchen.Isabel sighed. "I didn't talk to him much. He is with Ms. Freya at the office, I even heard that they ordered pizza. I don't know if Ms. Freya made me hear that she knows Gideon better than I do or something.” she said with mixed doubts."They are still at work at this hour? But at Resorts I rarely see them together.” Alice answered.Isabel let out a sigh. "Maybe Gideon is really busy at work, maybe he needs help from Ms. Freya, that's why she's there too." she replied, trying to calm herself down."Hmm, it's better to trust your boyfriend, Isabel. Besides, they've only been in the City for two days, maybe Freya will just get really close, taking advantage of the fact that you're not by Sir Gideon's side."Isabel nodded in agreement with what Alice said. "I trust Gideon, but Ms. Freya no—Haist, I don't want to think bad of Gideon, he promised me!" She stood up and went to the kitchen to drink
