CXIV: When Sally Met Sam (1)
Few years ago…
It was Sally’s first day as an intern at this really big electronics company. Sally was obviously excited, and she had always pictured herself as a career woman, handbag in her arms, a neat coat and pencil skirt with that decent heels and fixed hair.
Sally felt as if she was mature, and she was finally joining the big league where adults worked and built a career. Aside from that, Sally was just really eager to leave home. She wanted to take a break from the suffocating walls back at home.
Sally’s parents were constantly arguing about her father’s other woman. Sally knew that they were already separated and were only staying together because of her. Sally could tell how much they hated each other’s guts, but Sally wanted them to be together out of her selfishness.
What could she do? Sally was from the orphanage, and the moment she was adopted by her biological parents, they fought over the little things. Sally

Alexander did not see who the girl was, but he walked towards Sam and smirked, “About time some girl beat you up. I must say, she’s one of a kind, Sam. It looks like you’ve got yourself a challenge.”“Challenge?” Sam struggled to stand up; he was holding back the pain as he protested, “That woman- Sally, is a psychopath! She wanted to kill me!”“Oh, how cute.” Alexander teasedSam gritted his teeth, it was the first time he had been embarrassed in front of a crowd, and it definitely was the first time a girl rejected his advances. From then on, Sam made it his goal to make that girl, Sally, fall for him- hard, to make it even.But Sally stood by her word, she left the company, and she never came back again.

“Okay, calm down and be logical, geez. This is probably the first time I’ve seen you so infuriated that you can’t think straight.” Oli teased, but then she cleared her throat and changed the subject, “Anyway, I think it’s best to let the asshole guy talk. I mean, the more secrets he spills about Pedro, the better! We could use it against him when he decides to blackmail Maya.”Sally rolled her eyes and replied, “Fine but do you have some earmuffs? Just hearing Sam talks make my skin crawl.”“Wait a minute, Sally, you know the guy?” Oli raised an eyebrowSally let out a deep sigh and nodded, “I do. I know him.”“And you risk letting him know your identity? What if he recognizes you? That was clumsy and too risky, Sally.”“I know I’m sorry.” Sally scoffed, “But it’s not like he’d remember me among all the girls he spends his p
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CXVII: Love Triangle?
“Well, I guess you are.” Oli played along, “This is a love triangle I’d rather not get involved in.”“It’s not!” Pedro and Sally strongly argued, but Oli simply replied, “Yes, but whatever it is, please follow my worker. They will lead you to a more private chamber where you can talk more casually without disrupting anyone. I hope you resolve this.”Sally whispered, “Hey, Oli, what are you thinking? I’m too pissed at Sam. What if I gave away my identity out of annoyance?”“You won’t. Trust me, and I spiked his drink.”“What?!” Sally asked, “You did that? Why?”Oli smirked, “Obviously to know more about Pedro, well, it was effective, so who cares? Just go up there with them and go find out more. Sam is obviously interested.”“Well, I’m not!”“You don’t have to be. That guy&rsq
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CXVIII: Weird Sam
Sam would do it with a different girl every other day, as it seemed. It was not surprising, as he did that a lot even in work. How many times did a co-worker before, enter his office and gets out with her clothes, or hair in disarray?She shook her head. It was not something she cared about at all before, as long as she was not being bothered by him.In fact, in Sally’s mind, Sam is the insecure type who seeks validation every time. Sam was someone that made her skin crawl from the cringe.Sam and Sally met a few more times at the company, but Sally tried her best to hide from him. It seemed like she did not have to because Sam could barely even remember her. Sally knew that Sam probably only remembered the time she kicked him in the crotch.Sally did not mind, and it helped her finish her internship with more ease.Sally counted the days down because aside from the fact that she was avoiding Sam, Sally was also hiding her identity.Be
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CXIX: Admitting
Sally shook her head, her expression was still unmasked with confusion. She then said, “But you’re not this kind of guy. You hurt girls and break their hearts, but why are you so nice to me? Stop confusing me.”Sam flinched when he realized what he was getting at. In fact, he had not realized that it was the same girl he had helped a few weeks ago. It was a habit of his to help the damsel and distressed after all.This could not be blamed on him, okay?So what was he supposed to say to her? Sam was not sure if he should continue pretending or just admit it.After a brief moment of thinking, he cleared his throat and stood up defensively as the lights went on again.Sam looked at Sally intently. She was also doing the same, and her gaze was challenging as if saying that she was not going back.This time as well, Sam realized that Sally had recognized him the instant when she saw him before.Sam smirked when he t
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CXX: Just a Plaything
“Oh, please, she’s just a plaything- a challenge for Sam!” They giggled.Sally wanted to argue with them, but she already had too much on her hands. She had Sam pestering her, and she could not afford to have these women more reason to hate her and give her a more hard time.So, she just kept quiet and let them be. Sally was not really affected by petty remarks. She was still a princess, so who cares what everyone else says?As she went back to her desk, she found piles of paperwork. Her jaw dropped, and she politely asked her boss, “I’m sorry but is this work? Are they all for… me?”“Oh, yeah, I’m sorry.” Her boss replied and whispered, “The higher-ups were women, and they found out about Sam’s little charade for you. They were pissed.”“And how is that my fault?”“I’m really sorry.” Her boss explained, “Sir Sam usually does th
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CXXI: Avoidance
Sally could finally finish her internship without having to think about anything else.Lucky for her that Sam was so busy lately, he had no time to pester Sally.Since Sam did not have time to make it difficult for Sally, she was able to have a much more peaceful life in the office.There wouldn’t be gossips as well regarding her or regarding her boss, who seemed unable to keep it in his pants.To make it happen, Sally went to lengths of bribing Sam’s secretary to give her Sam’s schedule, which she had memorized just so she could avoid him.The secretary even thought that she tried to find Sam’s schedule because he liked the playboy. It also seems that such things did happen often.Sally did not care as long as she got what she needed.With that, she knew every meeting, every out of town, and everyone visits Sam had, and those days were the days Sally would reschedule her work.It was hard for her, but i
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CXXII: Who Will Have a Broken Heart?
Sam laughed at the thought of it, and he said in complete disbelief, “Me, a broken heart? You know I’m not the type. I break hearts, not the other way around.”Alexander patted Sam’s shoulder and said, “I always waited for that day. The day some girl would be stood up to you and made you fall.”“For the millionth time, I don’t like Sally-“ Sam said, but then he suddenly hiccupped. Alexander snorted and said, “You’re quite a bad liar, yet I’m impressed how you get the girls to believe your lies.”“I’m not lying-“ Sam hiccupped again, embarrassed and annoyed. He immediately left after lunch and said to Alexander, “Don’t forget our bet! I’ll definitely make her fall for me.”“Sure, sure, I’ll be waiting.” Alexander sarcastically said.Sam rolled his eyes as he walked inside the company. He asked his secreta
