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.

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
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CXXIV: Know Better
But then, a friend of Sam’s saw him and enthusiastically greeted him, “Hey Sam! I’ve been looking everywhere for you! I heard about the bet you made with Alexander and today’s the last day. How is it going?”Sam glanced at Sally unconsciously, and his friend saw that. He said, “Oh, is this her? The girl from the bet? You must be Sally.”Sally scoffed, clearly annoyed and replied, “Yes, I am that girl. I am Sally. Do you have any business with me?”“Feisty.” The guy remarked, “By the way, Sam, I heard you drove away with her yesterday. Did that mean you win? Did you get into her pants? Did you use the sad, manipulative technique? You know, the one about telling her about your sad family so she’d come naturally lower down her guard?”Sally flinched upon hearing that, she thought to herself, so that was part of his game. I should have known better. Sally rea
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CXXV: Apology
“I’m sorry. What now?” Sally argued.Sam calmly replied, “Apology accepted.”“Ha-ha. So funny.” She sarcastically said as she shot Sam a look- an annoyed one. Pedro, on the other hand, just sighed and said, “You’re childish and reckless again, Sam. May I remind you of what you just did earlier?”“No need. I was sober even when I said all that.”Pedro scoffed, “Sure, thanks for clearing up that misunderstanding. It turns out that you were just an asshole then.”“He definitely is,” Sally muttered under her breath, but Sam was able to hear that. Sam protested, “Hey, are you his girlfriend or something? How can you take his side so casually?”“I’m stating the truth as it is,” Sally replied.Sam and Sally were arguing like husband and wife over trivial things, and Pedro was just sitting there as he let time pass by.
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CXXVI: Interrogating?
Sam insisted on staying, which made their table extremely awkward.Pedro sighed deeply; he said to Sally as he completely ignored Sam’s presence, “Sally, are you close with the owner of the restaurant? Oli, was it?”“Yes, the owner is Oli. I’m… her work, so I don’t know what you expect me to say.” Sally awkwardly lied, “But do mind me asking why?”“It’s just… there’s something off about Oli. It seems to me like she’s hiding something.” Pedro explained, “Whenever I kept asking about the girl who was looking for her parents, the one you announced back then, Oli would seem frantic about it, and she kept changing the subject too. I’m guessing she… must have met Maya or something and just disguised her identity as someone else. I mean, that would explain why you… said it wasn’t Maya. What if Oli intentionally didn’t want anyone to kn
