CHAPTER 41

Because I was invited to handle a supporting role, a double celebration happened when we finally arrived at Harris' restaurant.To give you a brief background information, the past years of Harris working hard to be a marketing consultant before led him to fulfill his greatest goal in life... and that is to build his own restaurant. His restaurant is now successful knowing that he's a good cook, and he's also handsome.I've heard that Harris finished an engineering course way back, but he became a marketing consultant, now a chef and manager of his own restaurant.That might be because not all the time, it's not related to the course that a person finished that he will get a job right after that person graduated. Perhaps it's their choice not to apply for a specific job related to their degree, or it's not their choice to take that degree during college. Just like me, Hospitality Management is not my dream course but still, I choose to finish it. And now, surprisingly, I'm slowly intr

CHAPTER 42

I smiled having the thought of accepting the director's compliment for us. We're halfway through the drama, we're about to finish shooting it within just a week or two, I think.The day goes by so fast, and so far, what I'm showing is beautiful and neat. Almost every day I receive compliments because of my acting skills. But I remained humble, because I knew I still had something else to learn. I'm sure there are many who can be better than me, so I think I should be more motivated to do my best in the remaining scenes with me.Wishing myself all the best."How's your day?"When I got out of the shooting place, I just laughed when I saw Eli waiting for me. His schedule is busy now but he still managed to pick me up."You don't have to pick me up, okay? I'm aware that you're very busy right now, I don't want to bother you anymore.""You never bothered me." He opened the door and then I sat on the passenger's seat. "It's been a while since the day I confessed to you my feelings, Irene."

CHAPTER 43

"Could you tell us a brief overview about the movie?""Olympians are those athletes who compete in an olympic games. But in this movie, the participants were not athletes. And most especially, the participants won't compete in the olympic games... and are not competing with each other for a gold medal. Participants are selected by the game master, and the selected people are those beggars in the street.” Marco said. He played the role of the antagonist.“Are the participants street beggars?”"Yes," Echo replied. "And these beggars are going to play an online game, which is Mobile Legends, in order to survive and win the huge amount of money that awaits them in the end. There are many beggars involved, so in stage 1-4 the fight is by group. A team fight. The system has become a team, and the losing team will not go home in tears... because the losers will not be able to go home because they will be killed. Until it reaches the point where only six players will step on stage 5, that's i

CHAPTER 44

"I was the first to greet Dylan. What about you? I'm always an early bird, you know that!""Hug!" Dylan hugged Harris like a child while smiling with his eyes closed.They just look so cute, especially Dylan who I know is very happy today because of the surprise birthday party we planned for him. As Harris said, he was the first to greet Dylan by giving him a piece of tissue, then wrote his birthday greetings on it.Yeah, Harris is eco-friendly. (Insert the sarcasm.)"A while ago, you wrote your birthday greetings to Dylan on a napkin. Then now, on the tissue. Next year, where?”"In your brief, Yuwi.""I'm sure if Julia was here, she'd probably be silent because she hates what you're talking about." Uttered Magi, and now she's with Dylan, arm around him."Yuwi must have missed teasing her," Warren said, chuckling."That's just pretending to be Yuwi teasing Julia, but it's his type." Eli said before pulling me to a chair next to him. "What do you want to eat?"I shook my head. "I'm ful

CHAPTER 45

His forehead creased. "Excuse me? What are you talking about?”He hummed a little. "I'm quite amused that this is our first time meeting each other... yet you already know my name."I'm confused… wait, why doesn't he remember me? Is this really what I'm seeing or maybe it's just a dream?"Because I told him about you while we were on the trip. So he already knows your name," my manager politely answered.I looked at Theo in disbelief, because he hadn't mentioned Israel's name to me earlier. What the hell is happening?!"I see." Israel looked back at me again. "Nice meeting you, Miss Corrine-""Drop the 'Miss', please."As I came back to my composure, I forced myself to act normal. Pretending not to be affected because our paths met again."I'm now your employee and you're my boss. I should show respect. Don't be too formal, Mr. Villegas.”Even though I really wanted to hug him now because of happiness, I stopped myself from doing that. I don't want him to think I'm weird. One more thi

CHAPTER 46

Is this really how he treats his new employee? Or maybe he's just like me? I mean, I'm special to Israel to give me coffee.My eyes even passed the sticky notes on the cup... 'Good morning, gorgeous!'Well, why is that? It's like a butterfly flutters in my stomach right now. If I'm not mistaken, when a person's stomach feels like butterflies are flying like this, it means they're excited, right?Who wouldn't be thrilled if you were called 'gorgeous', right? Do I feel special or am I really special for Israel? Does this mean he remembers me?"Thank you for this, Sir Israel! You are really thoughtful as always!"I lost my attention on the sticky notes I was staring at when I heard what Cindy said. I gradually glanced at her; she's also holding the same cup of coffee that I received from Israel. Harvey and Jenny are the same."Cindy, can you look at that?" I approached Cindy to look at the cup of coffee she was holding."Sure."When I looked at the sticky note attached there, the same th

CHAPTER 47

"Are you, Corrine... on drugs?""I'm serious, Dylan. Even I can't believe that Israel is alive. Who would it be? He's been gone for so long and he's made us believe he's dead for so long, then just like that, he's alive all along?""How did you know?" asked Magi. "And sure, does Eli already know about that?""It so happened that he will be my boss for my temporary job." As I finished answering her first question, I looked down. "And not yet. Eli still has no idea about Israel.""How long are you going to keep this from him?"I looked at Dylan, I don't know if it's just me but I noticed a trace in the tone of his voice as if he didn't agree that I hadn't informed Eli about Israel yet.I still have no courage to bring this up to him, and knowing Eli for quite too long, I'm fully aware of the fact that the moment I tell him the truth, his performance for his upcoming concert has a hundred percent probability to be affected."Make a wise decision, Corrine. Don't wait for the time that he'

CHAPTER 48

"Israel, are you alive?" In disbelief, Eli approaches the confused Israel, and he's inspecting Israel's body.I, on the other hand, was powerless to stop Eli. I'm still shocked that he saw me with Israel."Excuse me." Israel moved away a little. "Do I know you?""Are you kidding me? How come you don't recognize me-""I mean, I know you, Eli. Actually, both Corrine and I are fans of you. But what I'm curious about is that... How did you know me? Have we met before? At a fan meeting? At your concert?""You must be kidding me, bro.""Huh-""Maybe he's just confused. Just ignore it, we'll go first." I intervened in the conversation between the two of them before I looked at Eli. "Let's go.""I'm still talking to him-""Bye!" I said goodbye to Israel, I made sure to pull Eli out of there.He was still struggling to get away from me but I didn't let him. When we both got into his car, silence enveloped us for a moment."Could you please explain everything to me?"I let out a heavy sigh befo

CHAPTER 49

"Insane! Stop flirting with me while driving!" I immediately moved away from him, crossing my arms around my chest. "You're scaring me to death.""I don't run fast," joshed Eli as he reaches for my hand to hold. "I'm sure our kiss is just too fast, it's so addictive-"I didn't let him finish his words as I beat his arm softly. Given that he's just joking, it irritates me. But maybe, it's okay that both of us are fine. Our bonding is back, and I can hit him again like before.I assumed that we're back to being a sweet couple, hoping that we'll never argue over Israel again.*****"Okay, I'm going to sleep. I'm just going to finish this milk I'm drinking.""Hurry up, huh? Get over me right now," Eli said laughing, at the same time he kissed me on my forehead.He's staying at my condo just for tonight. He said he was too lazy to go home to their house and pick up if he could just stay here at my condo for the night. It's not a big deal on my part since he's been spending his nights here

CHAPTER 50

I immediately pushed Israel away from me. My palms were shaking as I hid it behind my back. I don't even know why I'm quivering like this. Maybe it's because of the coffee that Julia gave me earlier. Damn!"Have you not been instructed to act as a professional towards your workmates?" As I came back to my composure, I asked him straightforwardly. "I guess you don't know that office romance is prohibited in the workplace. That's what's written on the contract I signed."For a second, he grinned. "Are you sure what we're doing is called office romance? Or are you just assuming things like that?"My jaw literally dropped. His face is thick enough to make me look like I'm still assuming it? After what he did to seduce me, especially the last thing he said earlier! Isn't that office romance?!"Forget the thing I said earlier. I'm just joking around."I didn't waste my saliva to reply, instead I walked outside of his office. I went out first and looked for a place where I could breathe fres
