Lucille who's making a glass of milk at the kitchen looked out the moment she heard a soft footsteps. she went to the living room and saw her daughter sitting at the sofa in a daze. "Nat, it's getting late, what are you doing there?" She asked but her daughter doesn't seem to hear anything. She came infront of her and wave her hand on her face. That's when nathalie snapped from her deep thoughts. "Mom..." Nathalie called, still in daze. "What's happened to you? I've been calling you for a while. Is something's bothering you?" "Well, there is...." Nathalie hesitates whether to ask her mother about her ex-husband. She didn't want to bother herself about his affairs but she couldn't help to wonder and she felt that she's not going to settle not until she figure out about it. "Um, about Nigel..... Mom, do you know if Nigel is in relationship?" After asking away, Nathalie averted her gaze when she saw the suspicious look from her mother. "W-why are you looking at me like that?" "Why
"Good morning Mr. Valdez, I'm stuck in a traffic, sorry I'm late." "It's alright Ms. Andeza, I'm just arrived ten minutes ago." The man got up from his seat and pulled one for Nathalie. The two sat down and exchange their greeting before the man called the waiter. The two chatted happily while eating their sumptuous meal. "I haven't eat my breakfast so I ordered a lot, does it turn you off Mr. Valdez?" Nathalie asked while munching her food, her cheeks was bulging like a squirrel. "No worries Ms. Andeza, it's actually nice to see a woman who didn't restrain herself from eating a lot. You know women nowadays always care about their figure so they always eat a little." "That's true, but I'm different. I don't get plump easily in just one heavy meal so its fine for me to eat more. I don't even restrain myself if I'm starving." "Then, I think I shouldn't restrain myself either. I am a man and I have much a bigger appetite than you. What do you think, should we compete?" Nathali
Nigel didn't hesitate, he rushes out and chase after his ex-wife, but they seemed to play tug and war when Nathalie refused adamantly. Mr. Valdez stepped in to help her. "Bastard, let go! You're so shameless, are you that desperate?""Don't meddle to us, mind your own business!" Nigel retorted. This guy have a nerve to threathen that he might lose his job but he just smirk on him. He didn't look scared in whatever this guy might capable to do, for him, he's just like a jumping clown.Out of madness, Mr. Valdez finally called a security, but when it came over, Nigel introduce himself that made him dragged Nathalie away freely without any restrictions.Mr. Valdez left in a daze, never would he imagine that that man he called bastard was non other than a young elite businessman Nigel Sarmiento, the one he had planned to have business deal in the future. Thinking what he had done and said to him, he finally realized that the man might mocked him because of his naivety. After some thought,
Nathalie was reeling when she arrived home, struggling to process what her ex-husband had told her. She couldn't fathom why Elaine would do such a thing. Nigel told her how the woman shamelessly claimed the credits that belong to her, pretending that she's the one who had saved him from the fire.Nathalie massaged her forehead, wondering if she should still hurt now that it was all over. Yet, her ex-bestfriend's betrayal had left her with so much pain. Torn and uncertain, Nathalie poured herself a rare glass of wine, seeking comfort.Lucille arrived and found her only daughter drinking alone. She dropped her shopping bags on the floor and approached her. "Nat, you're drinking? When did you even learn to drink? What's going on with you?" She took the wine glass and moved the wine bottle away. Nathalie remained unmoved, letting her mom take the bottle. "Mom, I'm so confused... What am I supposed to feel? Should I get mad about my failed marriage, or because of my best friend's betr
Nathalie couldn't answer Nigel's question as it made her ponder deeply, should she confess her fear of loving him again? What would be his response if she did? Though intrigued, Nathalie hesitated. Knowing her priority wasn't rekindling their romance, especially with the company's ongoing crisis and her health issues."Nathalie, are you still there?" Snappped back to reality, Nathalie apologized to Nigel and directly hung up. She slumped against her chair and letting out a deep sigh. She rubbed her temples. Only now did she realize that its really difficult to have a complicated relationships and she didn't want to get involve with this again.........Upon entering the company, Nathalie immediately sensed a strange and weird gazes among her colleagues. She couldn't help to have an urge to rub her forehead, she wondered; 'What malicious reason could be behind their peculiar stares this time?'Nathalie diverted her attention from the unfavorable glances, channeling her energy into h
Nigel cleared his throat while Nathalie went blushed like a ripe tomato. The man unconsciously fix himself despite that his impeccable business attire and neatly combed hair was just right. Nathalie abruptly stood up, creating distance between herself and her ex-husband. She sits in one of the sofas not far away.Nigel cleared his throat once again and asked awkwardly, "Um, what were we discussing again?""About sending me a bouquet of flowers...." Nathalie's sterness returned. "I'm telling you again, Mr. Sarmiento - stop sending me flowers or anything else. I don't want anything from you."Nigel pau sed for a moment. "Fine, but I have one condition." Nathalie raised an eyebrow. "You're giving me conditions? Seriously? And who do you think you are to give me conditions?"Nigel ignored her displeasure, he doesn't seems to hear anything. "My conditions are; From now on, keep me posted on your plans and who you're hanging out with.""What?!" Nathalie blew up, age suddenly stood up. "Hey
"How is it going?" Nigel asked over the phone. He still at the company, working overtime."Sir, Ms. Andeza visited a high-end hotel. Unfortunately, the receptionist declined to provide the confirmation of her check-in, citing their hotel confidentiality and privacy policies."The guy Nigel hired to tail Nathalie got back to him.Nigel's expression turned stern. He dropped his pen and stood up. He adjusted his slightly rumpled suit and instructed; "I understand. Keep surveillance until I arrive." He then promptly headed to the hotel.When he arrived at the hotel, he easily tracked Nathalie's whereabouts using his connections. As he walked down the hallway, he spotted her while heading into the restroom. He quietly followed her and dragged her inside."Let me go, who are you?" Nathalie struggle againts whoever was pulling her inside of the restroom, but was stunned to see who it was. "N-nigel?" She slightly pushed him and distanced herself from him. "What is it again, why are
When Nigel suddenly rose from his seat, Nathalie inferred she had successfully provoked him. She assumed he would leave but was surprised when he approached her. It was only then that she realized everything when she was suddenly lifted up from her seat. She almost wrapped her arms around the neck of someone who lifted her.Everything happened so fast; Nathalie just figured out she was now sitting in her ex-husband's lap. She reacted quickly and would have stood up immediately but the man was faster than her as he hold both of her hands tightly. "Nigel Sarmiento, what are you doing? let me go!" Both of her cheeks were starting to turn red with embarrassment, she never expected her ex-husband to behave this way. She tried to get away. "N-nigel, please..... it's embarrassing..." She said, glancing around awkwardly."Embarassing? Are you embarrassed of me now?" Nigel glanced at the people around. He saw that only the women there were glancing at the two of them while the men acted as i

It's no wonder if Nathalie didn't have any recollection about the sweet moment of the two of them because of his cold treatment towards her during their marriage years. Now, Nigel can't pull even one good memory to say that he's once a good husband to her. About her said one-sided love, he can't say anything about it. "I admit, I was wrong..... If... if I could turn back the time...." The bar went pin-dropped silent and the situation became seriously awkward. Nobody wanted to disturb the moment, they could only glance to each other. They couldn't even make a rustling noise while the others barely breathing, they look back and forth at the two. Nathalie let out a sighed. "Forget it. It's already in the past, let's move on." Nigel wanted to say something but he can't figure out what ought to say, he just sitting there quietly while clenching his fist. Michelle cleared her throat and speak up to somehow get rid of the awkward ambience. "Alright, and this is how we conclude, thank
