POV: Monte

"Lolo, I'll just talk to someone real quick, be back in a moment," he said to the elderly person.

"Who are you going to talk to?" the elder asked.

"Just someone, I'll be gone for a short while,"

"Alright, take Jeremy with you. What milk tea does Ericka want?"

"Avocado, please."

"Okay, Jeremy, go with Monte to get the milk tea. Buy some for us too. And you, dear, do you want one?"

"I'll get mine on my own," Monte said, exiting the door ahead.

"Sir, should I pass it to Miss Ericka?" Jeremy asked.

"No need, just bring it here,"

"Alright,"

Monte waited for Jeremy outside the elevator. He seemed in a hurry. Monte swiped the key card, and they both entered. He pressed the button for the ground floor.

"How is Lolo?" he asked Jeremy.

"There's a significant improvement, sir. I think he'll be able to walk soon," Jeremy replied.

"Why hasn't he mentioned anything to me?"

"He wants to surprise you. I'm sorry for spilling the beans. Can we keep it a secret?"

It feels like she committed a grave mistake. Señor doesn't answer her calls, and even Monte only communicates with her through calls.What did she do to make her life this quiet? Tears fell as she typed on the computer. Her body slumped from working too much. Up until now, she's still contemplating Monte's offer.

    POV: Ericka"Monica, do I look okay?" she asked."Absolutely! You look gorgeous, right, girls?" The girl turned to her fellow friends."Absolutely, madam," they chorused."Have some self-confidence; you're way more beautiful than Almira. Maybe that's why that girl is so insecure around you," Monica said."That seems a bit much," she blushed at the comment."What happened?" she asked."That girl suddenly went abroad and never came back.""Oh?" she seemed saddened. "Why though?""Some speculations circled, Almira and her gang threatened her, so she decided to keep her distance. Rumor has it she was paid a hefty sum.""I never heard about that," she pondered."They didn't allow gossip to spread outside the campus, and you were still in boarding school back then.""Ah, that explains it... What's her name?""Lovie de Luna.""Have you tried searching for her online?""Nothing comes up... maybe out of fear. It's tough for them, so they don't fight back like you do."She fell silent.

    Ericka's heart pounded heavily. It felt like she couldn't move as Monte's face slowly approached hers. She closed her eyes tightly. The elevator suddenly made a relieving sound, and she couldn't quite understand it, but it seemed to disappoint her. Do I want to kiss him? It's embarrassing. She scolded herself. Just stop it, you're being too forward. You might end up falling for him, and then he'll just deceive you.Monte guided her towards his car. She wondered why Mang Arturo wasn't there."Uh, sir... I mean Monte, where's Mang Arturo?""I drove alone. I want to talk to you, just the two of us.""Uh... What are we going to talk about?""About us."And there, they began weaving their stories – how they fell for each other, the courtship, the start of their relationship, and much more.
