" Why can't you love me? I'm I not good enough for you? What is it you hate about me? " Ricardo asked. Gwen didn't say anything and Ricardo didn't want to persuade her to say it. " I've never said this to anyone before but if I don't say it now I might not be able to say it again," Ricardo said. Gwen felt her blood pressure increased. " I love you, Gwenevere. I do love you a lot and I want you every minute of my life " Ricardo confessed. He said it but he was scared of being rejected by the only woman he has ever loved aside from his mum and Arya. " I don't love you and I won't love anyone, never, " Gwen said. Ricardo felt a sharp pain in his chest, he had never felt this bad before. He had always gotten whatever he wanted but now, he felt that he had lost. " I promise to change in whatever you wish, you don't like me being snobbish? " Ricardo asked. " You can't change the fact that you are a man, which made you a beast and monster " Gwen replied. She became so angry that sh
Arya stared at her brother, waiting for his reply. " I didn't ask him," Ricardo said. " As a lady, I can help you out. I will tell you what most ladies like and 89% of what I'm about to say will be a match to her preference, " Arya said. Ricardo's gaze became more serious as he gazed strongly at Arya. " If a guy wants to win over a girl, he has to give her more attention, he should always call or drop messages. He should buy her gifts and always take her out for lunch " Arya explained. " Don't always be tyrannical towards her and always apologize when necessary " Arya said. " In case she still hasn't fallen for him, tell him I am available, " Arya said and ran out to catch up with her mum. Ricardo stared at her back as she left, he took a deep breath and walked into his room. " That's a lot to do, but I will have to start from somewhere," Ricardo said. ………………..The pageant show is happening the next day and everyone is busy with work. Gwen has been stressed out, she looks so
" What's wrong? Why did you scream? " Arya asked Gwen as she let go of David. " Nothing," Gwen said " Why did jump on him like that? " Gwen couldn't stop laughing. " He is cute and remember I told you that I'm obsessed with cute guys " Arya has always been a straightforward person. David blushed so hard. " But after seeing him for like a few days, I will get tired of him so don't worry. I won't take your brother away forever " Arya said. She is such a shameless girl, how could she say such a thing publicly? This is the worst of them all that David has ever seen. After paying for what they bought Arya came up with a suggestion. " As I'm traveling tomorrow, why don't we have lunch together? Both of you are the only friends I have in Switzerland '' She said, looking at Gwen and David for their approval. " Sure, let's…." Gwen's phone started vibrating. " Excuse me," Gwen said and shifted to a corner " Hello " " Did you read my message and ignored it? " Ricardo said. " I was in
"What?!! " Ricardo exclaimed. He felt like she was just playing around but he knows that Gwen is not someone that jokes all the time. " I don't want to work for you anymore, I want to quit my job " Gwen repeated with her head down. She knew that she had hurt his feelings for the sake of her sanity, she better quit. " Have I been harsh to you? Did I overwork you? I promise to let you have all the rest you want " Ricardo replied. His heart began to fail, he felt like he couldn't breathe. " I will bring my resignation letter tomorrow " Gwen retorts as she gazes at him, she feels the hint of pain in his heart. But he wasn't the only one going through the pain, she was going through more pain. She has come to love him but her love for him has great consequences. To avoid the feelings, she decided to resign. Gwen felt like cursing Ricardo for making her helpless. She was about to leave when she felt a hand grabbed her. She turned with surprise and saw Ricardo in tears " Why aren't you
" I said, I will take you home and stop picking a fight over nothing," Ricardo said to her as he tried to hold her hand but she withdrew it. Gwen could tell who always drives as if he was being chased by a ghost. It's none other than David. David walked to them and put his both hands in his trouser pocket. He wasn't smiling as his gaze fell on Gwen. " Why haven't you gone home? I just left your house now. Do you have to work this hard every day? " David said nonchalantly. " I forgot something in my office so I needed to come back for it " Gwen lied. She began to roll her eyeballs. " You don't have to cover up for your boss, I can't believe he is this heartless. How can he subject a lady to work so hard? '' David lashed out. It was late so he couldn't see the faces of the guys who were next to her. Barry was about to pee on his pants because he could see the smoke coming out of his boss's nostrils. " I have told you to resign, I don't know what you are still doing here. Let's go
Gwen took a deep breath as she held her mother's hand with a sad expression on her face. She knows that her mum won't like what she is about to say but she wouldn't change her mind. " I want us to move out of here, where your husband won't be able to find us," Gwen said but her looks could tell that she was lying. " I'm your mum and I can tell that you are not telling the truth. Why are we leaving this apartment? " Gwen's mum replied with a concerned expression. " I will resign from my job tomorrow and I don't want any of my co-workers to know where I stay. That's the truth and I'm not lying, I want my privacy " Gwen replied. She pouted her mouth like a spoiled child. Mrs Bautista raised her hand and hit Gwen at her back. Gwen let out a scream and stood up from where she was sitting. " Why did you hit me? I've told you to stop using force on me " Gwen said with teary eyes. " I didn't raise you to be a coward who runs away from her problems. Are you having issues with someone in
" Why isn't she in her office? Where did she go? Ricardo questions them. They were all afraid to speak. Bianca walked boldly to Ricardo as she wrapped her hands around her chest. " She finally remembered where she belonged and she knew that she wasn't fit to be here so she did the needful " Bianca replied with a grin on her face." Scott and Barry, are you ready to speak or you've found yourselves another job? " Ricardo said, totally ignoring Bianca. Bianca clenched her fist angrily. Scott handed the resignation letter to Ricardo " Sir, she quit her position " Scott said and Ricardo collected the letter. He went through it and indeed it's a resignation letter. " Why didn't you stop her? Why didn't you tell her not to leave until I arrived at my office? Is this what I paid you for? " Ricardo yelled angrily as he tore the letter and flew it away. " Sir, we tried but she has made up her mind, there was nothing we could do " Barry tried to defend everyone and they all nodded at what h
" Was it an offense to love her? I must find Gwen, I don't care how I will do it but I will find her and I will make sure you all lose your jobs " Ricardo threatened Scott. " You are behaving like Arya, right now. Get hold of yourself and go home so that you won't make a fuss here " Scott said as she pushed Ricardo out of his office. Ricardo entered his car and zoomed off to his hotel. He felt like everything had fallen apart and he was left with nothing else. Leo walked in and saw Ricardo drinking at the reception, Leo could tell that Ricsrdo was depressed so he walked up to him. Ricardo saw Leo and kept his gaze on him like a stray cat looking for whom to go home with. Ricardo took a deep breath and looked down. " Why are you looking so miserable? You own this hotel, how can you sit out here and drink yourself to a stupor? " Leo said with a fake smile on his face. " I just want to sit out here for a while, what are you doing here? " Ricardo asked him as he emptied another cup.
