CXV: When Sally Met Sam (2)
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Alexander 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 teased
Sam 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. Sam never found her again after that.

But now, at the present time, to his surprise, Sam saw a girl that resembled Sally a lot. Sam was doubtful whether it was really Sally o

“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
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CXXIII: In the Beach
Sam sat down near the water and the sand, he glanced at the horizon, and soon after, Sally sat next to him.Sam said, “I used to always come here whenever I feel down.”“Like a special place, or is that another one of your lines to get me?”“You are one distrusting girl.” “And you are one dishonest boy.” Sally teased back.“Ouch.”The two of them laughed together. They had been on each other’s throats for a while now, but maybe it was the moment, for just a minute or so, Sam and Sally saw each other’s vulnerability- something they never let anyone s

In the United States...Maya was standing in the house that she thought she would not see again.Sicilia was at the door waiting for them to come. When she got out of the car, she immediately went to Sicilia, who embraced her in a long hug.“God, I thought I would never see you again. I was so devastated.”“I thought I would never see you either,” Maya responded after breaking the hug.“So he managed to convince you ?” Sicilia looked back at Alexander.“No, it wasn’t him, it was someone else,” if Pete didn’t come and say those words to Maya, she would still be determined to turn down Alexander, or she would’ve left already. It was all because of Pete, who reminded her to look for her happiness. She thought if she ever forgives Alexander, she would be less of a woman, but that wasn’t the case. She felt even stronger, having the power to reunite them or never be with him a

“I uh…” Thomas could not help but feel emotional, but then he snapped. He realized that Mrs. Simons intended to do this! Thomas, enraged, shouted as he threatened Mrs. Simons, “How dare you bring someone like her? She’s my daughter, and she died; you brought that girl here to rub it in my face? Is that it? Huh! You wench!”Mrs. Simons smirked, and just then, Maya stopped the old Duke’s hand mid-air and said, “Please, don’t hurt Mrs. Simons. She was just trying to help me.”Thomas found it odd. Everything about Maya reminded him of his dead daughter- from her eyes, smile, and her kindness. It was too much for the old Duke. Kate passed away young but had she grown up to reach that certain age, Thomas was sure she’d look like Maya.The old Duke left after seeing such resemblance, and that left Mrs. Simons, who was devilishly grinning as everything was going according to plan.Meanwhi

Upon arriving at France, Maya sighed heavily. She felt bad not having to say goodbye at everyone, but then again, she didn’t really think she could face any of them at the moment. The people Maya trusted the most ended up lying to her and manipulating her.But Maya was really bothered about what Alexander said about Mrs. Simons being her aunt. It was impossible, right? Maya knew almost for sure that it was impossible. Perhaps because of Mrs. Simons’s wealth and status, Maya never imagined herself to be anything related to her.Maya shook her head.“Are you okay?” Mrs. Simons asked, “How was the flight?”“Everything was super okay. I didn’t know airlines could fly at any time preferred without any prior notice on the schedule.”Mrs. Simons chuckled, “They didn’t. The plane we rode here is our family’s personal plane since the old Duke, and I love traveling.”“

Stephanie said then before leaving, “I’ll leave it to you to decide what to believe in but here are the files you need. Nothing leads back to Russia, so I say nothing’s keeping you here anymore. The main branch of Greenwillow is at France, and you have a better shot there than here.”“Thank you, Stephanie, for helping me.”Stephanie flinched as she heard that. She did not know what to say because the truth was it was her and Mrs. Simons who was manipulating Maya right now. Mrs. Simons’ plan was to break off the connections holding Maya back from leaving for France- and those were her friends and Alexander.Stephanie gulped hard, kept her composure, and said, “Just remember our agreement. You’ll cut off connections with Alexander. I’ll let what happened last night when you dance with him go and everything else if you just stay away from him as soon as you leave for France.”Maya scoffed, &ld

“Maya’s not answering,” Stephanie said to Mrs. SimonsMrs. Simons was frustrated as she paced back and forth the room, “She must have been with Alexander right now. Damn it. I underestimated Alexander. He’s the perfect tool against me.”Stephanie raised an eyebrow, “Watch your tone. It’s Alexander you’re talking about. I suggest you be careful of what you say about him.”Mrs. Simons rolled her eyes, and then, she had an idea. Mrs. Simons smirked, “I’m betting Maya is back at Oli’s mansion as we speak.”“And? What are you planning?”“Since Pedro gathered them all up to delay Maya leaving for France, I’m just going to ‘undo’ what he did,” Mrs. Simon reasoned, “Once Maya knows about how Alexander, Oli, Sally- the people she trusted the most, are all trying to delay her form-finding her family, she would be so devastated a

“Aren’t you going to give me a chance to explain?”“No. Now leave before I punch you in the face.”Alexander said, “I’m actually quite surprised you still haven’t done that already.” Alexander continued, “Anyway, I can’t leave. I just told you, you owed me for all the trouble last night, and it wasn’t cheap too.”“You’re making it up. I don’t remember anything like that.”Alexander smirked, “Oh, but you remembered what you said and did to me-“Maya immediately covered Alexander’s mouth and whispered to him, “If you say anything- even one word about it to Oli or Sally, I’ll kill you, okay?”Alexander nodded as he was continued teasing Maya.Sally raised an eyebrow, “What were you saying, Alexander?”“Nothing.” Alexander smirked at Maya and continued, “I probably r

So, Maya walked her way towards Alexander. Her steps were light as to not distract Alexander, who was casually sitting, book in his hand, and the light was naturally hitting his black hair. Alexander looked like a scene from a movie.Whereas Maya was a mess, she barely brushed her hair, and her clothes were a mess because Oli chose the first set of clothes that would fit her for the night, and her face was not yet completely clean from all the make-up last night.Ugh, this sucks. Maya groaned as she thought to herself, this is not how I planned our meeting to happen. In fact, Maya never planned to cross paths with Alexander ever again. Maya awkwardly greeted, “Hello. Erm… uh, about last night-“She was worried that she most probably did something stupid, then her thought ran along the lines of what would Stephanie do to me now? The last conversation they had was when Stephanie texted Maya she would be late because sh

“I figured the silhouette was yours because of this.” Stephanie reluctantly broke the glass case near Kate’s old room and grabbed the Emerald green Greenwillow brand handbag there. Stephanie explained, “I saw this bag on the picture and coincidentally, at the video of the orphanage too when you left Maya. I figured only one would have this bag in possession since it was discontinued, and there was only one of this manufactured because it was Kate’s work. Kate made it as a gift for her aunt, and that is none other than you, Mrs. Karin Simons.”Mrs. Simons scoffed, “I’ve always loved the bag but thinking that Kate made it was disgusting, but still, I had to keep up the act and wear that bag every day.”“This green bag is the only physical evidence that would bring you down. If the video of you handing Maya over at the orphanage with this green bag, your alibi will fail, and they would know that you weren’t
