"You two get out of my house! Bad luck!” Mila exclaimed while throwing the belongings of siblings Isabel and Isaac out of the apartment. "Oh, Aunt Mila! What are you doing?!” Isabel exclaimed as she rushed over to pick up their clothes that were scattered on the road. She had just come home from work and seemed surprised by what she saw. "Aunt Mila, what happened and you suddenly kicked us out?" Isabel asked again as she picked up their clothes one by one. Mila retorted fiercely, "Your stupid brother! Letting all my remaining money be stolen!" “Stolen?” “Yes! The thief entered the house because he left the door open! Your brother Isabel is really stupid!” Mila added angrily. Isabel ignored her Aunt's anger and dashed into her room to find her brother. “Isaac! Isaac!” she called. "Sister.." Isaac muttered as he carried his shattered paintings. "What happened? Are you okay? Didn't the thief hurt you?" Isabel asked, touching her brother's face. "I'm fine sister, the thief stol
Past eight o’clock in the morning, when Gideon got out of his car. He increased his pace while fixing the button on his suit.Everyone greeted him when he started to enter Fierro’s Enterprise Building."Gideon you're late." Sam told Gideon emphatically as he hurriedly walked to the conference room."Is Mr. Carter here either?” Gideon ignored his Uncle's enraged but continued walking."Yes, and you're the only one waiting." Sam replied, annoyed.When Gideon entered the conference room, their emotions as he entered the meeting room were disappointed.“Move over.” He ordered his associates to begin the marketing data analysis that he would explain to the investors.After Gideon sat down, a small letter was placed on his desk."You owe me today." he looked at Freya and she winked.After a few moments of explaining the data analysis, Gideon asked for a break to talk to the investors in private. But before that happened, he pulled Freya outside the room and asked what the letter meant."I
As they heard about the owner already there in the Resorts, all the employees stopped cleaning for the moment. Out of respect for the employees they line up as they bow their head slightly for the owner to walk among them. When Gideon passed by, the employees greeted him politely, knowing that they could be asked or talked to by the owner at any time."Good morning, Sir Gideon—" Gideon interrupted Lazaro's speech because of his annoyance with him."Let's talk later, Lazaro." and he turned his attention to the employees. "Everyone, introduce yourself to me." Gideon ordered.The employees came to a halt, apparently scared about what their boss intended to do."Anyone? Who wants to introduce himself first?" Gideon asked gruffly, almost running out of patience.Alice raised her hand and excitedly went to the front to properly introduce herself to Gideon."I'm Alice Anderson, 27 years old and I work here at Fierro Resorts as one of the beautiful waitresses, my motto in life was—""Okay nex
After two days, Isabel tries to avoid Gideon as much as possible because of the temptation he shows her; seeing Gideon is only a reminder for her about the thing she was unable to do. Instead of blaming herself, she took control by being active at work in order to achieve her only goal: getting her brother medicine and an education.Since Gideon's arrival at the Resorts, customers have been attracted to come and check in, which is why the number of clients has been increasing in comparison to the previous few days. Because of a lot of customers, Isabel startled and accidentally bumped into Freya, spilling sauce on her dress."What the heck!" Freya exclaimed as she examined the sauce stain on her dress."I-I'm sorry, Ma'am, I'll just clean it up." Isabel immediately wiped the sauce with a clean rag, but it spread even more."You've just ruined it even more!" Freya was irritated.That scene grabbed attention, so some customers were looking at the two of them.Even Gideon, who was busy t
"What did Sir Gideon tell you, why did he call you to his office?" Alice whispers in an interest after Isabel returns to the kitchen.Isabel let out a sigh. “He already knows…he already knows that I'm the girl—”“Oh my God..is it true? You confessed to him?”“No–he made me confess. And…And when I said that it was me—” Isabel looked around them before completing her sentence."What? What happened?""H-He kissed me...this time it's passionate like it's full of excitement. Then I kissed him back—Geez, I don't know what was happening to me at that time, I couldn't stop him." Isabel gripped her forehead since she didn't expect it to happen.Alice covered her mouth due to surprise. "Oh my God, Isabel...I'm at a loss for words.""Please, Alice, don't judge me; I blame myself too much; please, I don't want to talk about it again; promise me you won't remind me of it again," Isabel begged."Are you insane, Isabel? Sir Gideon is our boss, he'll be here for three months, what you're saying is im
"I'm sorry, Sister; I shouldn't have fought with Marcus," Isaac said as he lay on the bed."I told you it's not bad to fight back, Isaac, but in your situation, you should stay away. You make me nervous," Isabel sighed as she stroked her brother's hair."Sister.. how long will I suffer from asthma? I'm jealous of my classmates who can do what they want. How can I have a girlfriend if I can't defend myself against those who fight with me?" Isaac explained, disappointed in himself."Isaac, you are strong and smart; I'm sure someone will like you just as much, but this time prioritize your studies and your health first, so I’m not getting worried anymore."Isaac gave a slight nod and smile. "I'm sorry, Sister; you've made so many sacrifices for me.""Come on, I love you, so I'll do anything to help you get better and not get back here in the hospital again."After a while, the nurse arrived to explain all of the medications they required along with their hospital bills. Isabel sighed dee
In the morning at Fierro Resorts."I've completed the paperwork you requested, Gideon. And there has been an update for tonight's dinner with Ms. Taylor, she wants to meet you tonight at eight o’clock." Freya said as she dropped the papers one by one on Gideon's desk.While Gideon was dumbfounded by the sight of the floor."Gideon, are you even listening to me?" Freya asked again."Yeah, just leave it on my desk, Freya. I'm just thinking a lot today," he replied coldly, his gaze still fixed on the floor.Freya sighed and rolled her eyes. She gave a nod. "Where were you last night?"Gideon looked at Freya because of her sudden question. “Somewhere. Why did you ask?""Well, I came to the verdict that what you're thinking has something to do with it; you're losing focus, Gideon."Gideon looked at the papers on his desk. He sighed. "Call Uncle Sam, I need an update as an Enterprise. Maybe I'll go back there soon, I see the rating here at the Resort is at 5.8 percent so we'll just catch up
"Good evening, you didn't tell me you were busy with other things, that's why you couldn't go to work today?" Gideon sarcastically asked Isabel, his face solemn."Could you leave? Derek might return, and I don't want him to see you.""What happens if I don't?"Isabel smirked. "If you don't leave, I won't go back to the Resort.""How are you going to pay me?""I'll find a way, if only I could go back to the bar-""No!""What is your concern about that?"Gideon gave her a heartfelt look. "I'll leave here but promise to return to work at the Resort tomorrow." Isabel became silent. She is wondering why this man is concerned about her and how she pays back. She doesn't have a choice, though.“Okay. I’ll go back to work tomorrow…in the Resort.” she finally said.Gideon nodded and stood up. “Then I'll see you tomorrow." When Gideon returned to the table with Catherine, the businesswoman asked him about it.“Do you have a problem with that girl?” Catherine asked him.Gideon returned his gaz
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
